Profile

One of my favourite young players, Merrett blasted through his second season with a series of big performances. Having shaken off the vests he tonned up on five occasions including a season high of 137 which showed he has a decent ceiling, even in a team that is struggling. There's a few concerns, I'm unsure of where he's at with the foot injury that ended his season and the potential exists for him to lose DPP which would completely rule him out of consideration. Some could argue he has already hit his fantasy scoring peak but an average of 98.7 in his last 7 games suggests there's more to come. The potential is there for Zach to average 100 but low to mid 90's seems more realistic. Even at that level it would be worth having a look at him as a forward, depending on who ends up getting DPP.

Pros - On the rise, tackling machine

Cons - Injury, may lose DPP


Prediction - 90-95

Mr.Craig's Call

hahahaha my favourite so far

;D ;D ;D.

Top job Craig! Love Zerrett and quite consistent! He's going to take another step up I think in his third season but reckon he'll be at an awkward price so may be better options for cheaper to gain the cash and keep long term.

If he keeps DPP (highly doubt as well), then I'd jump on board!

Nice work again Craig, love Zerrett, unfortunately I don't think he will keep DPP   :-\
