Sunday’s action brings an end to our first weekend of the season – a breathless 3-2 victory for Man City providing a fitting conclusion. Here’s our regular Members article, picking out some of the key stats from the weekend’s games…

Guys, please confirm this but isn't Aguero's price protected?
Open Controls-
In theory yes so it should take 2.5 times as many transfers for his price to fall. In practice protection was rarely actually given last year. It may be more likely if he gets a red flag (I haven't checked, has he?) He's nowhere near a fall yet so he's not going to fall tonight either way.

Pratik, he is price protected.

will Tevez go up now / soon?

To all Bandwagoners.. This is'nt last season
For every Michu there's a Pienaar/Mclean/Snodgrass/Lallana in the same price range
For every Petric there's a Graham/Ba/Holt
For every Nasri there's a Kagawa/Valencia/Bale/VDV/Cazorla
For every.... You get my point
I'm gonna enjoy this season. Soooo many optionsOpen Controls-
For every Aguero, there is RVP. #justsaying
Open Controls-
that was the fourth line.. 🙂
Open Controls

-
+1 the opening day scorers are just opening day scorers. I'm going Michu for fixtures and to get rid of a Chelsea player, but I still regard him as a punt.
Open Controls-
Michu should do ok cause of fixtures.. but i would'nt destroy all my plans to get him in. I got Aguero doin that for me already (destroyin plans i mean)
Open Controls

For every kneejerker, there's always a bandwagoner?
Open Controls -
Totally Disagree
You might have options on paper, but catching the right bandwagon is crucial. We will revisit this come gw5 when the options would have clearly emerged.Open Controls-
it's just one week.. no one is a clear cut option atm. After 3-4 weeks if a player still looks consistently good i don't mind jumpin on. It's just been one week! :
Open Controls -
+1 Every season there are plenty of options but not all of them come good. You need to get the better options in as early as possible.

Anyone fancy United to line up like this??
DDG
Valencia----- Carrick------ Vidic------Evra
Nani---------Scholes------Cleverley
Kagawa
Rooney RVP
????Open Controls-
Yep, something like that. Expecting Rafael to get a bit of rest.
Open Controls -
Valencia to score an unlikely hat-trick from RB.
Open Controls -
Nope Rafael RB. Nani will make Utd extremely vulnerable in midfield. Either Kagawa in CM or LW or the bench when RVP and Rooney play imo. I doubt it will change from a 4-4-2/4-2-3-1 tbh.
Open Controls-
Surely Rooney can drop back and do his share of tracking back or defensive work along with Kagawa??
Open Controls-
But what that basically is is a 4-1-3-2 with hardly any support for the back 4. If they counter you will be ripped to shreds.
Open Controls-
That formation basically requires winning the ball back higher up the pitch.. My thinking is Rooney, Kagawa and Nani dropping back when they don't have it.. I doubt Fergie will play something like that away from home but at OT is that a viable option??
Open Controls-
Possible with a full strength back 4 but with all those injuries I doubt it. Nani doesn't know how to track back. See below.
Open Controls

Im convinced it will be
DDG
Rafael Carrick Vidic Evra
Valencia Scholes Cleverly Nani
Kagawa
Rooney
RVP off the benchOpen Controls-
What happens when RVP AND ROONEY play together??? Will Kagawa feature then?? I mean, it would be extremely sad if we dont get to see the 3 of them playing in the same XI
Open Controls-
He will though mostly against the weaker teams. Cant expect all 3 to start against the stronger teams.
Open Controls

-
+1 with Kagawa dropping into CM when RVP plays.

What creates a 0.1 price rise? Is it the amount of transfers in?
Open Controls -
Is dyer nailed on? Or Routledge? Already have Michu.
Open Controls-
The wingers are not 'nailed on' but very likely to start. Sinclair will push for a starting berth. I think Sinclair and Dyer are first choice but Routledge's performance puts Routledge and Dyer as first choice.
Open Controls -
-
Rumour has it that Pablo Hernandez is on his way to Swansea to replace Sinclair so that will definitely put Routledge under threat. Dyer will sometimes be rotated but I expect he will start most games.
Open Controls-
Good then, I will get Dyer, together with Michu, and expect a 5-0 again!

I need to get get Graham in! Im convinced Petric's run is over! Aguero, please dont be injured for too long ok?
Open Controls-
Priorities, Priorities. Hence the word manager

Federichi
Pienaar
Ivanovich
Hazard
Torres (c)
Will i get the 30 points needed for the 100 ?Open Controls -
@Milanista - If you are looking at the subs record of Doosra (29 pts), I think Acquafresca has blown that out of the water.

I'm guessing you had Iva and Lumpurd. You lucky dog.
Open Controls-
Aye. 57 with 5 DGWers to go. Wildcarding too (and yes, I'd planned it and not knee-jerking 'cos I'm a bloody maverick). How you done Willy?
Open Controls-
40. Had Ivanovic, Lampard and Nasri for what seemed to be an eternity, but somehow ended up with A Hole, Mata and Yaya in my team.

😯 Started Larsson vs his beloved Arsenal over Michu....
Open Controls-

Guy probably thought Larsson would exploit Arsenal's vulnerability on set pieces. Not a bad shout, just didn't work out.
