Errol Gulden has been positioned at a lot of centre bounces this year coming off a wing, as he did for long periods of last year. Usually this would tend to limit a player's fantasy scoring as he runs from goalpost to goalpost in the modern style, but Gulden is made of more productive stuff. He joins stoppages around the ground and is a major weapon, with endless run to link up and an especially deadly kick inside 50. Fantasy coaches spend a lot of time obsessing over the changing mix of centre bounce attendances, but Gulden seems to be immune from such variance.

Errol Gulden has had a relatively quiet start to the 2024 campaign, outshone in large part by the rise of Isaac Heeney to early Brownlow Medal favouritism. His role has not changed at all from last year, just as often starting on a wing as in the middle, but he is most definitely a pure midfielder following the ball wherever he starts from. His best plays involve using his pace and balance to sprint away from congestion in the centre to set up scores or dob them himself, and he will no doubt have more opportunities today against the Suns. A POD trade-in target for fantasy.
Errol Gulden started his senior career at the Sydney Swans as a half forward flank and made an impression with his lively running and quality delivery inside 50. He has graduated to a wing role this year and has bolstered his strengths to the point where he might start getting some defensive attention on him. The new mould of wingman in the 6-6-6 rule era is a throwback to the old days, focusing on defensive running too much to merit serious consideration for fantasy premium status. Can Gulden be the one to break that reputation and become a full premium?
Errol Gulden made his name in his debut campaign of 2021 as a half forward flank, but in recent weeks he has shifted up to a wing. There may not be much functional difference between the two at times, as HFFs tend to drift up to midfield anyway and Gulden is an attacking wingman who specialises in deliveries inside 50. Nevertheless it probably means he attends more stoppages around the ground, leading to a bump in fantasy output over the longer term. His game is more suited to Supercoach at this stage with an emphasis on quality over quantity.
Errol Gulden started his senior AFL career with a bang in 2021, posting big numbers in wins over Brisbane, Adelaide and Richmond. His personal form tailed off over the next month culminating in an injury layoff that saw him out for the middle third of the campaign. On his return in round 15 his fantasy output has settled down to what you would expect out of a half forward flanker whose main job is to stay forward of centre and get involved in scoring chains. Many fantasy coaches enjoyed his cash cow rush, but he may not turn out to be a consistent asset.
Errol Gulden has been one of the main fantasy cash cows of 2021, part of a group of young Swans who pushed their team to an unbeaten start through the first month of games. Some of those tyros have already been rested, however, and Gulden's numbers have dropped off in his half forward flank role as the opposition has caught up to them. Are we not going to see 22 games out of draftees this season due to the lack of junior league action last year? Gulden is good enough to win the Rising Star but he may not have the stamina to play enough games at this rate.
