      He is a rotation risk, and Adebayor played well today, and Aguero scored (as usual!) It looks like City may be on the cooldown from their scoring frenzy.

Either way, Dzeko won't start surely, so I can't see him then being rested at the weekend, especially when City's recent record against Everton is so shite.

                  But Tevez/Dzeko doesn't work. Mancini has surely worked that out?

                  Tevez acting the big man forces Dzeko into areas he's not comfortable. I think this is why they have barely 20 mins on the same pitch so far this season.

    about to confirm a -12 for this am thinking it will be worth it
    Bent >Ade bent will drop and ade will rise this week both have chance of scoring well weekend

    Holt > Aguero aguero will rise and should recoup the -4

    Baines >Enrique baines has horrible fixtures and needed to do above

    Surman > SWP SWP will rise and if i dont do this i have to play moses again for another 4 point week

    am i mad for doing -12? never took that big of a hit since playing

    Man U fans...what are Jones' prospects medium/long term as far as starting goes? If Ferd and Vidic return do you think he will be regular RB?

      so difficult to say. My view is that Jones will get the RB spot and Smalling will be benched was the big 2 are back. When Rio was back briefly, Jones did get the RB slot, so my money would be on him.

        Cheers for thoughts guys....Bos safer it seems....if downgrade another def may go Jones though....safe and playing fixtures is my plan back up the rankings...these early games have rankings all over the place!

      I think he's already taken Rio's spot in defence tbh, he's brilliant.

      First choice back line would be Smalling Jones Vidic Evra.

      Interesting to note Fergie put on Valencia instead of Fabio when Smalling took a knock.

            Some trouble with his calf according to Ferguson pre-match.
            Though with the amount of smoke and mirrors that surround the man, you never quite can tell.

            When is Vidic back anyways?

            Ferdinand wasn't even on the bench.

            I think Jones might well be number 1 now at RB or CB.

              Seems strange to leave Ferdinand out after he was left out of the Benfica match too. Injuries (and Jones form) could finally be catching up with Rio. General consensus of Utd fans on twatter seems to be in favour of Jones keeping his place too. Can't argue with the results, even if we are leaking goals.

      Jones likes to go forward a lot. Maybe that's why the game was so open today (I didn't see it, either). With Ferdinand back, the defense may tighten up and generally be better.

      I have him, and I am keeping for 1 more week(the fixture is still decent.. He looked too good for Wenger to bench him again.
      But if you will ship him out, Mata or VDV is the player to go for.

      What I did was: downgraded Brunt to free up cash and will make the switch next week, so I dont lose -4. You could do the same with Pennant.
