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

    Fed up with the comentators sticking up for the unlucky pen.

    So what if it hit his leg first, it would have hit his other outstretched arm if his leg hadn't deflected it onto his other other outstretched arm ?!!

    You can't just make yourself as big as possible and then look the other way & pretend you didn't mean it ?

    If it hits your arm when your body is behind your arm I think it is harsh. If it hits your arm when they are outstretched, tuff shlt.

    Coming from a United fan as well. I hope they both lose !!

        Well look at it this way, if he was standing on the goal-line and it hit his leg then his arm would that be a pen? I'd expect most people's answer would be yes. It shouldn't matter where he was the ball was heading into the net.
