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:

    Right the whole keeper situation is really bugging me. 6.0m seems far too much cash to spend on a keeper. Maximum points in a season would surely only be 135-150 points.

    The trouble is they are all so highly priced. Whos everone going with?

      Vertonghen - Zabaleta - Hangeland (Nelsen, Cuellar)

      Bale - Lampard - McClean - Taarabt (Noble)

      Aguero - Torres - Graham

      Reasoning behind Vertonghen: I had 6.5 left for a defender with strong fixtures especially in weeks 2, 3 and 5. Not sure I trust Swansea at the back and with Kaboul not looking nailed on, Vert of the 6.5ers has a potentially huge upside.

      Lamps will go for whichever United mid looks most in form, will wait longer before deciding on their forwards.
