Unfortunately there's only 8 on-field midfield spots and there's a lot of good midfielders going around. Right now I'd be starting Walsh over Dusty every day of the week.
I understand, but i'm a realist.
I'd be starting Walsh over him as well....in the very very short term. Its never really about games in the past. Walsh for instance is hero of the day...saves us all worrying about a mid slot BUT IT WONT GO ON FOREVER. He is 18 and his club will manage every single corky or knock he gets. He will also tire, and he will also be marked better as he loses his novelty value on the field whereby coaches start putting time into him.
Its a hellova lot harder for him to just avge 85-90 from here than to have avged 115 in his first month of "just go out there and have fun". I assume he will need upgrading at some point...and the way he's going it wont be an issue.
I should have never mentioned Martin, he's a week or two off even being a consideration...but with his dream draw from here, and history of going nutso for patches he's a pretty reasonable pickup even this week.
