Holding Watson

[Big Mac]

I have a complete team except for Goodes, but only three trades left. So would it be worth keeping Watson? I also have decent bench cover in Mitchell and Hrovat. However I do have Naitanui and Houli which i'm mindful of possibly needing to trade them out due to injury. What would you do?

[Vinny]

With 3 trades left and Mitchell as cover who is playing GWS this week - You can wait :)

He also doesn't get tagged in that crazy Swans midfield.

If u have a complete team then Mitchell is a great bench cover, and can afford to hold

on the supercoach paige show it was reported that its no longer a 3-4 week but a 6-8 week injury. is this true?

Heard the same thing - 6-8 weeks... Wont be back until round 22 at the earliest which is unlikley, cant hold him through finals.

[roo boys!]

Yeah I was thinking about holding when it was a 4 weeker, but now I think it's going to be 6 at least and with a broken collarbone he won't be doing a Leuenberger.

Have to trade him eventually I fear. This will have to be one of your 3 LTI trades.

You may as well hold him. Titch is good enough to play for the next couple of rounds.

Definitely trade, bombers wouldn't risk him before finals if he isn't ready.

If you're going for overall or trying to make the 8 in league then trade now, if you're going for league but guaranteed to make the 8 then you could wait till league finals to trade him out in case some other premium mids get injured during that time  ::)

[woofy]

Is the collarbone broken or fractured? ATM I'm holding as I have cover and should win next couple of league matches. Will reassess in a couple of weeks.

I am also holding , will be a nice pod if he gets back in time . .
If not he turns into my last prem . . .

[Ringo]

keep an eye on expected reeturn as if injury is 8 weeks or longer he will not be back at all 6 & 7 weeks is SC semifinals and GF. So basically you need to make the decision can I afford to leave on bench.

[vmac66]

Your right ringo , will makes things interesting , but that's why we play . .
