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:

    Any comments, I'm out this evening and site will crash tomorrow morning...

    Jaas/Fed
    Cole, Vertonghen, Tiernay, Hughes, Clyne (play 1 of the 3 x 4.0′s each week)
    McClean, Kagawa, Mata, Valencia, McAnuff (bench after GW1)
    Tevez, Torres, Pog

    Early changes – get in a ManU and Man City Defender as positions become clear
    Pog out to Graham
    Tevez > Aguero if Tevez keeps missing the target.
