sure he's underpriced due to inj affecting his scores at the tail end of last season but i saw a comment on him in another topic suggesting that maybe you look at him as a 'cash-cow' and see if he can make you a quick-fire $80k-$150k so you can dump him quickly before he gets injured?

what does everyone think of burning a trade on that sort of option??

Not a bad plan but a bit on the risky side, also it would suck if you off loaded him and then he stayed injury free and gunned it up.

Wait for him to cash up then upgrade him to a true premium. I'm thinking Didak once he gets some fitness back.

you wouldnt want to burn a trade on him only if he had an lti.

surely he can't keep getting injured all the time ? looked pretty good on the weekend

thats what injury prone is. getting injured all the time, whats his issue normally?? lower legs?

You would have been more frustrated if Higgins was on your list instead.

At least Gia played all 22

"I feel a lot better in myself, as good as I've felt in a long time and running well so everything is on track and going nicely,"

what higgins said half way throug hpre season, he will; have a big year. he is also very concictent which is a massive positive and will go up 30 to 40k through out the year

its not just about the money, if you go for overall and he pumps out some good socres then gets injured it still helps your total score, Thats why im getting him

good food for thought - thanks Holz.

Bluke - yeah, i'd be thinking as quick as possible upgrade to the true prem like Dids. if Higgins kept gunning it after that i think i'd still be comfortable knowing that i don't have to sweat bullets on whether he'll go down this round or not, and with Dids (just for example's sake) getting failry consistent 90-100+ ...

people were saying the same things about chappy last year, and i think you would agree he played alright last season

true Holz, but i don't think you can compare Higgins' durability as good as Chappy's over the last few seasons.

i know Chappy's hammys are often thought of as dodgy but if you look at games played between these two, i know who i'm going with in a bet on "who will play more games this season?".
