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:

    Dont understand this VDV bandwagon, had him last season know all about him.He isnt even on corners anymore, Siggy is.
    In my humble opinion,

    Bale > VDV
    Siggy > VDV

    Cant see him scoring more points than Bale or Siggy through out the season.
    Wouldnt be surprised if he goes off inj after 5 mins again, having played in midweek and all.

    I've done an analysis of the pervious scout post to see whhich te4am/players pop up the most (after Aguero of course):

    1st 2nd 3rd
    Top Points: Aguero Rooney/Bale
    Top Bonus: Aguero Rooney
    Differential: Nzogbia Snodgrass/Vertonghen/Gervinho/Gerrard/Baines
    Budget Keeper Schwarzer/Mignolet Given/Federici/Jaas/Foster
    Budget Def: S Taylor Shawcross/Da Silva/Ridgewell/Boyce/Hangeland
    Budget Mid Pienaar Larsson/Michu/McClean
    Budget Fwd: Graham Cisse Lambert
    Most Assists: Mata/Silva Larsson/Valencia/Kagawa/Cazorla
    Most Clean Sheets: City ManU

    A draw is shown by a /

    So the ideal team would include:
    Aguero, NZogbia, Schwarzer/Mignolet, S Taylor, Pienaar, Graham, Mata/Silva with at least 1 ManU and 1 City Defender. According to the Scout team that is.

      Cazorla is a bit of a doubt supposedly, http://www.setanta.com/ie/Articles/2012/08/17/Duo-face-fitness-tests/gnid-151103/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter

      Allen might not get the game time he would have at Swansea

      Kagawa is major risk of rotation in a plethera of midfielders at Utd.

      But all said and done, they might all play and you could be sitting on 80+ points by the end of Wednesday evening.

      Good Luck
