As we count down the days to Saturday’s Premier League kick-off, the Carlos Tevez – Sergio Aguero conundrum has become a major issue for Fantasy managers after the former’s scintillating strike and strong display against Chelsea in Sunday’s Community Shield.

Having looked at the City midfield area in Monday evening’s Technical Area piece, we now turn our attentions to the Argentine duo’s performance against the Blues but first of all, we use the Members Area Comparison Tool to gauge their respective displays over the final four Gameweeks of 2011/12 to look for the similarities within Roberto Mancini’s new formation:

    Southampton have 11.8m bid accepted for Gaston Ramirez 🙄 🙁 Wish he came to us, he's a top quality footballer. Guess he prefers gametime over a big club, but good luck to him.

          Im fairly confident mate. I think the team has the shape of a really good side in the next couple of years. Would like 1 quality centre half and striker. Will hopefully get to the second leg, we need to keep the tie alive and hopefully an away goal. Bit much to ask with our away record!

    First and only RMT, been playing around for ages and feeling happier with this after changing Aguero to Tevez and upgrading to Yaya;

    Federici
    Cole / Clark / Hangeland
    Bale / Mata / Yaya / Michu
    Torres / Teves / Petric

    Jaaskelaninen / Noble / Cuellar / Clyne

    Torres > RVP (3 mill in bank)
    Federici > Begovic to set up rotating gks

    Downgrading one of my mids will allow me to make any changes, I think...

    How's it looking? Cheers

    With the uncertainty of the Rooney and RVP could it be worth getting Podoski over Tevez and Agureo for Torres GW2????

      It could be, but if you have a policy of giving players new to the league a game or two to observe how they settle, then Podolski is firmly ruled out. Along with Giroud/Hazard/Kagawa/Michu & all the other potentially good new recruits...

      Too much doubt over Rafa & Britton won't score more than 2 points per game... so would have to say B. But would rather have Zab than Lescott. Richards is allegedly injured for up 10 weeks, ergo no competition for the right-back slot.

    Why has everybody got rid of Hazard? Seems crazy if it is just based on the CS match against the best team in the league. Even during that game I didn't think he was as bad as people were suggesting.Will play as part of a front free and think he looks like a great option.

      Depends how you define "everybody"... i know a lot of people never had him in the first place - its a gamble on an unproven premiership player who no longer has the set piece/penalty duties that inflated his goal scoring in France. He could be great, but 9.5m is a big risk to take, much better (safer) options for the first few GWs

    Finally have a team I'm happy with but interested to see people's thoughts on my team so here is my first and only pre-season RMT:

    Fed (Jussi)

    Tomkins / Hangeland / Zabaleta / Ivanovic (Vidic)

    Bale / Ramires / Noble (Ramires) (Holman)

    Aguero / Torres / Graham

    0.5mil in the bank to swap Aguero to Rooney for week 2

    My biggest concern is having 3 hammers but thinking that either Jussi or Tomkins will be moved on when a bargain buy appears

    Guessing I should probably play Vidic over Tomkins?
