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:

    Afternoon 🙂

    Would really appreciate replies, this is the first chance I've had to check my team in 2 weeks, and the last before the deadline. Is this team all set to go?

    Federici (Friedel)

    Cole - Clichy - Gunter (Fabio - Fonte)

    Hazard (C) - Kagawa - Sinclair - Noble (Pienaar)

    Aguero - Torres - Pog

    Main concerns are Hazard / Gunter playing both games, and Kagawa and Clichy starting. Any other problems, please let me know! I haven't been keeping up with any news lately. Money for Torres - Roo GW2, HAVE heard about RVP - Man U but presumably Roo will still be playing.
