In Round 13, Fantasy coaches face uncertainty regarding the playing status of key players following Origin I.
According to nrl.com.au, selecting a captain is challenging this week, and while there are potential cash cows, decisions will hinge on whether you're competing for overall points or in a head-to-head league with active bye rounds.
For overall points, Terrell May might not be a wise choice as a bye, considering the Wests Tigers' upcoming bye in Round 15.
This means May will only participate in two games before missing a significant bye round when Origin players and six other clubs are unavailable.
Conversely, if your league doesn't hold games during the major bye rounds (12, 15, and 18), the situation alters slightly.
If you don't already have May in your team, you're at a disadvantage; acquiring him now means purchasing at a peak price of $1.013m.
However, investing in an elite Fantasy player is still valid, especially since May has a season average of 79, justifying the investment.
