While his stamp on Scott Parker may have limited Roberto Mancini’s forward options over the upcoming Gameweeks, Mario Balotelli looks to have made matters a little less complicated for us Fantasy managers. With Fulham, Blackburn and Bolton all arriving at the Etihad between Gameweek 24-27, City’s front line looks primed for investment, with Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko vying for our attentions…

In this week’s “Versus†article for members, we take a look at both players’ displays over the last four Gameweeks, analysing their Opta and ICT Index stats, in addition to their overall Fantasy Premier League (FPL) output, to weigh up the pros and cons of their respective acquisitions.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

              If the defending player spreads their arms to make themselves bigger then that can be deemed a deliberate handball too. It might be a tad harsh, but they often get given.

    if your hands are up like that it is a pen irrespective of it hitting his foot first
