LeagueNews.co | Jess Malloy

This week in NRL Fantasy for Round 18 is particularly challenging due to several players being unavailable because of Origin selections and injuries.

Many coaches will struggle to field a competitive 13-player lineup.

However, there are positives to consider.

According to nrl.com.au, "Temporary positional switches and enhanced roles mean there are plenty of solid streaming options this week." This opens up opportunities for players to excel in new positions or increased responsibilities, which can help teams overcome the absence of their star players.

Identifying a strong captaincy option is crucial this week, as it could significantly impact scoring.

The consensus among analysts suggests that most coaches are likely to choose Terrell May as their captain.

Coaches are encouraged to explore alternative choices and capitalize on potential standout performances from players stepping up in new roles.

In summary, while Round 18 presents difficulties in fielding a complete team, the landscape allows for strategic adjustments and optimizations, particularly in captain selection, to maximize scoring potential during this tough week.
