Edin Dzeko starts up front for City, with Mario Balotelli dropping to the bench as Adam Johnson takes his place in the first XI. And no, Aleksander Kolarov doesn’t start.

Man City: Hart, Richards, Kompany, Lescott, Clichy, Toure Yaya, De Jong, Barry, Silva, Dzeko, Johnson. Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Milner, Kolarov, Savic, Aguero, Balotelli.

Swansea: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Tate, Britton, Dobbie, Agustien, Dyer, Graham, Sinclair. Subs: Moreira, Orlandi, Routledge, Lita, Moore, Allen, Gower.

    Let's not get carried away guys.
    Rooney and Young where away to West Brom
    Silva and Aguero are home to Swansea.

    BIG DIFFERENCE..teamwork sometimes works better than skill. Silva and Aguero will do well, but let's just wait and see.

      re: aguero, its not really a knee jerk. everyone had him in their team up until his omission for the charity shield. lack of a certain start against swansea is pretty much the reason why he was taken out of most teams.

      i think we all knew he is silly good.

    What did I tell you guys over and over, Kompany is not the player to own it's Richards!! Zab is no real threat to that place and Richards is basically playing like a mid and much bigger threat on set pieces!

      I hear you. I also tried to drum up some support for Richards over Kompany but no one was listening...If he is a constant starter, he is a much, much better investment than Kompany.

      Pretty much, best strategy is to not pick any player that the majority of people will be discussing on here all week, pick completely different players. Occasionaly you can post about the players you do pick. All the "experts" on here will tell you you are an idiot. Don't worry about this. You will score more points than them.

    Damn FPL, my intended changes on Friday evening Silva & Carroll instead of Drogba and Nzogbia would have brought me at least 6 exta points (up to 9). Not the end of the world, but still that's a pity. I guess I'll remember them in May if I make it till then
