Cheat Sheet and Projections
We have reviewed every player from every team to help you find the best selections on Sunday's slate.
| Selection | Player | Salary | Proj. Pts | Pts/$1K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stud | Max Gawn (MELB, RK) | $18,010 | 113.3 | 6.3 |
| Value | Hugh Jackson (PORT, MID) | $7,280 | 65.3 | 9 |
| Fade | Charlie Curnow (CARL, FWD) | $13,250 | 74.5 | 5.6 |
| Cheapie | Clay Hall (WCE, MID) | $6,000 | 50.6 | 8.4 |
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.

Conclusion
When building your AFL Sunday Round 14 teams, consider starting with a value player like Hugh Jackson. To secure one of the highest projected scorers, Max Gawn 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 Clay Hall.
On the other hand, according to our model, Charlie Curnow is one of the worst value options on the slate, suggesting you might want to limit exposure to him if building multiple line-ups.
