Versus – Aguero And Dzeko

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

      It all hinges on Cisse's price. It will probably be like 8 mil. So ba, then. Ba should still be on penos, too.

      Won't happen. FA will spread it out in case a team has two games in hand. You'll need an international break. FPL would prolly put the matches in different GWs anyways.

    Guys, any opinions on my WC team? I'm not buying Dzeko or Aguero.

    Hart Vorm

    Kompany Enrique BAE Evans Simpson

    Sess Dempsey Valencia Silva Bale

    RVP Adebayor Morrison

    When Ba returns I’ll go BAE > Shottom and Morrison > Ba.

      I would question BAE & Evans unless you have an exit strategy. BAE's fixtures aren't good after this gw, as aren't Man U's.

        I'll be selling BAE for Shotton/Kelly and Morrison for Ba when he gets back. Long term Evans will go for Brown/Caulker.

    Hart is the first real goalkeeper since Shilton - mesmerising, wonderful.

    But - FPL - No. 🙂

    Is Silva, Dzeko and Richards enough City coverage or would Aguero instead of Dzeko be seen as essential?
