✕ AVOID

Gulden didn't take the field in R3 due to injury, making him an immediate avoid regardless of his elite 112 avg and favourable 83 BE. The intel labels him a cash cow lock, but that narrative is firmly on hold until a return date is confirmed. Coaches should trade him out if he's already in squads — don't hold an injured premium burning a spot.
