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:

      I don't think It's a good idea for 3 swans...I'd say scrap the defender at least, they look set to ship a few more goals this season. 3 Chelsea are fine but I recommend getting one out week 2.

      3 chelsea isn't so bad as long as you have an ok team come gw3... but the swans are unproven under laudrup.

    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 (Pienaar) (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?

      hammers have 0 chance of keeping a clean sheet and could easily conceed 2 goals. u r looking at 1-2 points from tomkins... i'd be starting pienaar.. at least he will at least get you 2!
