    Annoying that Torres is playing well. He's currently owned by 20% of managers - with the DGW this will prob rise considerably before next Saturday.

    Does Ivanovic's ban carry on to the PL?

    Tevez with a brilliant goal. Another one to look out for. Could be a steal at 9 million if he starts.

    He'll start.

    City looking very good here.

    Another goal Nasri.

    I have Nasri, Tevez and Torres (c) in my team!

    I have a garbage team at the moment. Gonna change it later on.

    Where is David Silva today?

    Just getting a rest but based on the formation City are using it looks like Nasri and Silva are going to be going for the same spot in the team.

    There's going to be a lot of rotation I'd say.... Balo/Dzeko/Tevez/Aguero/Ade (?) and Nasri/Silva

    Well if I was Mancini I'd have Aguero and Tevez up front for every game. Probably not gonna end up being like that though.

    I have Silva in my team at the moment. Thinking of getting rid of him though. Tevez and a City defender strikes me as the better option.

    Here comes Silva. We'll see how he fits in.

    Thought he was fairly mediocre myself, didn't really get into the game much.

    Torres played well enough. He had on chance and took it well.

    Nasri did play well but it looks like he could be competing for Silva for on spot behind two strikers so there is a big rotation risk there.

    Lamps played well in terms of passion and leadership but RDM will be playing him as a deeplying midfielder as part of the 2 in a 4-2-3-1 formation so I'm not sure about his fantasy football potential. But i'm confident he is still the senior penalty taker on top of free kicks and corners so he is one to consider

    He didn't really do much from what I saw of him late in the first half and all of the second. This piece of skill kinda sums up his performance imo.

    Or a large influx of extra cash!!!!..after today it would be silly to spend the xrta on Kun when it looks like the two argies will be first choice,i was in the Kun camp but the smell of extra cash is tempting.............
    Also Yaya too........though 3 City players,overkill?:confused:

    Right, after seeing City v Chelsea and Arsenal looking really good today, I'm totally confused as to where to go. Had Cazorla, Hazard, Torres, Aguero and Clichy. Not really sure which of them to change, and for who.

    i would keep cazorla as he looks very very lively. i wouldn't start with 3 chelsea players so if you have a chelsea defender and torres i would go hazard > yaya/larrson. aguero > tevez will give you cash to go clichy > kompany just to be on the safe side until we know what citys defence looks like in a few weeks, otherwise take the gamble on clichy/zabaleta

    Richards is out for a month or so. I assume that means Zab is basically nailed on to start for City, even if they play 3 or 4 at the back. Thinking of getting him myself. Had Lescott before today.

    So I've kept Hazard, Torres and Cazorla and gone Clichy-->Zabaleta and Aguero-->Tevez. With the money I save I was able to upgrade Maloney to Yaya.

    So my starting 11 for next week looks like this:
    Green

    Fabio A.Cole Zabaleta

    Yaya Hazard Cazorla Pienaar

    Tevez Torres Pog


    I wont post a pic as it takes too long. Subs are Krul, Clyne, Cuellar and Noble. Happy enough with that, I still have £2.5m in the bank also.

    Cazorla may be a risk, with EH cos they're new to the EPL. 2.5 in the bank, what about Graham? Saving it for Wazza? :cool:

    Might upgrade/sidegrade to Graham after Pog has his DGW. I'll be giving Rooney a couple of weeks.

    Why are people buying Yaya Toure? Is he no longer being played in a defensive role?

    What about Scholes guys? €5.5m. I wonder will he get enough game time? Took in a fair few points last season when u look at how late in the season he was introduced.

    Just looking for peoples opinion on the Torres to Rooney transfer in GW2. I notice a lot of people holding back £2m to make this transfer, something I'm seriously considering myself. It does create a bit of an issue that is outside our control though.

    Logic would dictate that we wait until Torres and Rooney have played to see how they get on before making the transfer (Torres could be on fire, Rooney could get injured etc). However, to do this we probably need to hold back more than £2m, due to the knee jerk nature of a significant number who play this game.

    There is nothing more sure than 'geniuses' will transfer Torres out for Rooney at 11.31am on Saturday which means by the time Rooney plays on Monday, the price gap could be as much as £2.4m.

    It makes sense to go with Torres over Rooney in GW1 - an extra game, Rooney not having a great record at Goodison etc, but to do this we have to either hold back €2.5m and take the 'hit' of loss of team value or make the transfer on Saturday and hope.

    How are people playing this?
