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.

    Alrighty then, last piece of the puzzle:

    A) Giroud

    B) Podolski

    De Gea / Federici

    Zabaleta / Ivanovic / Hangeland / Cuellar / Wilson

    Bale / Mata / Taarabt / Valencia / Noble

    Graham / Bent / Tevez

    Have .5 mil left to use on upgrading Taarabt to a 6.5 mil mid throughout the season depending on fixtures. Good idea?
