Holding him for a while or cashing out now? I guess CHN - Merrin might be popular this week.

Will Edwards get that many points to allow you to start him? or are you planning to milk his money at the end of the season?
What are the thoughts on him - I hadn't considered him to be that valuable.

BroncHose wrote:Tolo vs Merrin seems to be a discussion point for some (including me, and definitely @White Lightning as he flips and flops for the thousandth time this week). Just let me talk this thru:

Tolo. Buying high, real high. low minutes risk when the game is already won or lost has cost his fantasy points over a few weeks (scores of 50,37,49 from 50minute games). Otherwise good minutes and ridiculous scoring. Generally good form and the go to guy for the team. Good for mid-bye round planning, but misses last major bye rd. Could start seeing the price decline in the next 2-3 weeks. Value is points over money.

Merrin. Buying low. Form is certainly questionable. Team form is certainly questionable. Origin a slim risk. Enables money to be spent elsewhere. Best purchased after rd15, but price will likely rise before then. Value is money over points (considering next bye rd).

I've done well at buying players low and selling high this year, but I think I'll change that and go Tolo. Points now will be more valuable to me, and Merrin still has too many questions.

I read alot of people saying if they had enough trades they would......

Would be left with 17 after also doing Niko > Munster

With 19 trades, it's definitely worth a punt IMO.  Have 18 and am thinking of going Kelly to Edwards.

Also, if I hold Brown and he doesn't play, my front row will have either Yates or Kaufusi starting.  I don't think that's a big issue that week.

EDIT: In regards to Edwards, is it really his spot to lose?  I've loved what I've seen from him in his couple of games but Hiku being dumped means he's sniffing around and could come back at any time.

Johnny B Goode wrote:Edwards is going to be one of those 'so popular you can't not have him' type players methinks. The spot is his to lose with a regular back-liner in Hiku left out and TMM clearly on the outer. Low BE and has a bye round to play soon enough.  

Being only able to field 16 this week though I can't trade anyone playing out for him and positions restrict me anyway. It'd be CNK or Braidon Burns to make way and the latter probably just better to sit around as an NPR instead of wasting a trade and cash on him.
