Fantasy Q&A: Round 22
In this week's analysis, we explore the best point-of-difference options for the remaining rounds, who to select as captain for Round 22, and how to handle Reuben Garrick's situation.
As reported by nrl.com.au, it's a critical time for many in head-to-head leagues, with finals approaching, while those focused on overall rankings are seeking that additional advantage to climb the standings.
For some players, a transition from centre to the wing can enhance their Fantasy potential.
However, this has not been the case for Reuben Garrick, as the Manly back's performance has suffered.
His average points per game have fallen significantly, dropping from 48.8 as a centre to just 39.5 during his four appearances on the wing.
The shift has resulted in Garrick losing valuable defensive stats, costing him around 15 points per game.
Additionally, he hasn't had as many quality touches that could lead to outcomes like tackle busts.
Surprisingly, Garrick continues to be the most owned WFB and CTR in Fantasy leagues, but this week might see changes in that trend.
There are numerous solid upgrade options available, as well as cheaper alternatives for those looking to cash down.
