Can't fade a guy thats had back to back elite games with higher CBA's, he showed glimpses as early as his draft year.
Sydney got toyed with in the Granny they are bound to make some changes and if Gulden is one I don't want to miss out, he doesnt work you flick him to a Gawn/Trac at position changes probably for 100K.

Gulden will be a very good player if given the right opportunities. Sydney has a few players you can say that about. They can't all get the good roles.
I see improvement from him this year. I don't see him as a must have player, but would definitely keep an eye on him as an early correction if he starts off big.

Sometimes you can be too stubborn though, thinking that you're too smart to fall for the pre-season hype player. Then they come out averaging 110 in the first month and you're wondering why you didn't just follow the pack. Gulden is getting to that point now where it's probably safer to just pick him.

I think it really comes down to structure, He's an awkward price where many will have to shuffle the deck chairs significantly to fit him in and if you're comfortable with your team I'm not sure it's worth it.
As you say, the risk is getting less and less each day starting him. With so many trades and options below his price point to hit that missed mid-price or rookie option like Fyfe, Bruhn, Ziebell, Flanders, Allen etc. I see no issue running him from round 1 unless horse comes out and blatantly says he won't be part of the midfield rotation.

I'm definitely one who's fallen into the too stubborn basket. That's why this year I picked my first team less than a week before official preseason matches. It's definitely worked, I'm not attached to anyone in my team and have been chopping and changing at will. I'm starting to wonder if it's had the opposite effect and I've become too reactionary. Time will tell.
