Cheat Sheet and Projections
We've reviewed players from each team in the Gold Coast Titans vs New Zealand Warriors match-up to help you find the best picks on Saturday's slate.
| Selection | Player | Salary | Proj. Pts | Pts/$1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stud | David Fifita (GOL, FWD/FLEX) | $22,310 | 70.6 | 3.2 |
| Value | Sam Verrills (GOL, HH/FLEX) | $10,210 | 44.5 | 4.4 |
| Fade | Beau Fermor (GOL, FLEX/FWD) | $16,450 | 41.9 | 2.5 |
| Cheapie | Jacob Alick-Wiencke (GOL, FLEX/OB) | $8,000 | 34.5 | 4.3 |
According to Fantasy Insider's DFS model, our "stud" is the highest projected scorer across the slate, while "value" picks provide the most "bang for your buck," meaning they are expected to perform well relative to their salary.
Conversely, a "fade" is a player considered to offer lower value for money, based on their expected score relative to their salary. For budget-conscious strategies, "cheapie" options refer to the best value players at lower price points not already mentioned.
In fantasy sports, understanding value—assessing a player's potential output against their salary—is crucial, as players scoring high relative to their cost are key in crafting the optimal line-up.
The "Pts/$1K" metric shows the predicted points for every $1,000 of a player's salary. A higher number indicates better value, making it easier to spot players who could outperform their cost.

Conclusion
When building your NRL Titans vs Warriors Round 16 teams, consider starting with a value player like Sam Verrills. To secure one of the highest projected scorers, David Fifita is a strong option. If you're looking for budget-friendly choices to free up salary cap for more studs, explore our cheapie options, including Jacob Alick-Wiencke.
On the other hand, according to our model, Beau Fermor is one of the worst value options on the slate, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if putting together multiple line-ups.
