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:

    OK here we go then. Team is ready for the off. Taking a gamble on no Man utd coverage for first few weeks, and have dispensed with the Torres to Rooney gambit to upgrade elsewhere, he'll probably still get moved on for the Jellyman/Giroud or bent.

    Davis - Green
    Verminator - Ivanovic - Zabaleta - Cuellar - S Taylor
    Santi Caz - Lamps - Taarabt - Piennar - Michu
    Torres - Tevez - Graham

    Any opinions welcome!

        Got the sweetest looking fixtures for the first 10 weeks or so, at home in GW2&3, if it doesnt work out I can easily get Lambert once the saints fixtures improve. I think Michu's a stayer for the season, at 6.5m playing in Siggy's old position.

    Front of tev aguero torres. No money in bank. But decided i wont be able to pick between roo and rvp untill ive seen a few games. Wheras i think tev and ag compliment each other. And silva not being ready means i dont want him yet.

        I'm going Carlito's Way.

            If Tevez was nailed on to start every week, it would be a no brainer. Imo the statistical evidence is irrelevant as it does not make up 2.5M. The only question is .....Will Tevez significant get minutes?
