Cheat Sheet
We have reviewed players from each team in the New Zealand Warriors vs Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles match-up to help you pick out the best picks on the slate.
| Selection | Player | Salary | Proj. Pts | Pts/$1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stud | Shaun Johnson (WAR, HH/FLEX) | $19,790 | 66.3 | 3.3 |
| Value | Luke Brooks (MAN, FLEX/HH) | $11,550 | 44.2 | 3.8 |
| Fade | Toafofoa Sipley (MAN, FWD/FLEX) | $13,060 | 37.5 | 2.9 |

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're 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 those needing to stay under the salary cap, "cheapie" options highlight 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.
