Edin Dzeko starts up front for City, with Mario Balotelli dropping to the bench as Adam Johnson takes his place in the first XI. And no, Aleksander Kolarov doesn’t start.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Toure Yaya, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Johnson. Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, Savic, Aguero, Balotelli.

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Tate, Britton, Dobbie, Agustien, Dyer, Graham, Sinclair. Subs: Moreira, Orlandi, Routledge, Lita, Moore, Allen, Gower.

    The Potential to reset the league scoring at GW2 is strange dilema for me. My league is made of members from the US, and I do not believe anyone was impacted by not being able to login. We all had our teams set prior to the problems I believe... (At least I have not heard from anyone complaining)

    Folks are not really watching the forum, and I do not have the email of every person. What a logistical nightmare...I'd try to email everyone, and see if they want a reset, but if I cannot get agreement from everyone, not sure it's fair. There is money on this.

    I almost wish I'd not organized the league. It was so much easier last year.

    What are other mini league admins doing?

      If it's a money league and nobody complained beforehand, I'd leave it and let it be. Whoever did well in GW1 will not want a reset and those who did badly will obviously ask for it.

      I'm in the same place, and what do you say to the people that put their team in days before... a vote (even if possible) will be unfair anyway as the people at the bottom will just vote against the people at the top. I'm leaning toward simply leaving it and moving prize funds to a separate h2h cup game, so the ones at the bottom cant complain 🙂
