Of course it depends on your 2019 plans and patterns, but was 2018 an unusually low year, such that an added 6,000 MQM may push you over in 2019 (to FO or GM, as applicable)? Not your question, but just a thought. There are a few threads on "is FO worth it?" that might be helpful.
If you don't earn at least FO during the year you get no rollover at all (and of course lose any previous rollover). The hold back strategy works only if you can hit FO.
