Been impressed with Dzeko, Silva and Vorm.

Dzeko in particular has lovely touch for a guy so big. If he scores and/or keeps up his starts, he could be a steal at 8.5.

Not quite sure how City aren't ahead - Vorm is having a serious game. Swansea in desperate need of a defending mid. Yaya Toure is a beast.

I think this game needs an Argentinian! I am unsure why Mancini persists with de jong and Barry for defensive cover against teams who should be worrying about City. Ridiculous.

frustration with Silva as well, with the old "logical" bonus system he'd be well on course for 3 bonus points, but this season? pffft, probably going to Graham, Dobbie and De Jong....

Did they remove the option where I could see how did each player do in the gameweek. For example, Terry scored 8 pts. I want to know how did he get these pts (Goals, assists, bonus, etcc) like last year.

  Very extreme approach. I kinda like it but would probably go for a slightly diluted version by sacrificing Suarez for Saha and upgrading one midfielder to somebody I would be prepared to captain.
