Easy things first.. Yaya isn't getting as far forward at the moment so he's way over-priced this season. Moreno looked dodgy (first match granted).

Yaya was very far forward for the last 10 minutes, just like last season. With the addition of Fernando it actually makes it easier for City to push him up.

Last season he'd have had a goal and assist in those last 10 minutes

Yaya did get higher up the pitch late on. I'll give you that.

He's not worth 11.0 though unless his form of last season returns and practically everybody left playing the game has him.

Moved from 17th to 7th in our private league, one week of following this thread

Plenty of questions though..
Is Aguero ready to start matches?
Is Jovetic the no. 2 striker now?
How about getting Silva in? (He only played 64 mins tonight but they were 2-0 up when he came off)

Dzeko is still definitely no.2 imo. Pellegrini rates him very highly. Made a point of that when he came to the club last season, tied him down to a long term contract and apparently turned down Cavani because he preferred Dzeko.

Tbf I think Dzeko gets slightly underrated in general because he's not as flashy as other strikers. He's a top quality player. A good preseason and 2 goals against liverpool, Jovetic needs to do a lot more to earn his place.

Having said that, with Europe the 2 will still be rotated a lot and neither are worth paying for as it's not worth the heartache of seeing them benched in the long run.

Aguero is just lethal and will be a cert in my team after GW6. Even though he's prone to injury I'll take his points while he's fit and transfer him out if he's injured if needs be.

Two bonus points for Gerrard, even though he wasn't involved in the Liverpool goal and just got beaten 3-1.

Wow.

No players involved. What a ridiculously good result for me. For a game with 4 goals, no one of importance got points and 2 of city's main defenders got yellows or ogs.

Will take it and run.

Onwards to gw3...

Well said... Great result really.

OneColdHand

Will finish on 53. Happy enough with that.

Yeah its times like this the flaws in the BP system are highlighted.

Jamie Redknapp must be running the BP system.

Bit of a moot point anyway, as anyone with half a brain wouldn't have Gerrard.

2 from Sterling brings me to 54 for the week, 132 overall. Solid start.

IanOBo

Jovetic's peformance really capped off a nice week. 65pts

100k? That should be well within the top 50k. I'm on 125 and currently at 22k. Expecting to drop a bit tonight but hopefully won't be worse than the 65k I started the week at.

FrClintPower

70 this week, 139 overall, sweet.

As a bonus, this week's necessary transfer of Jovetic out doesn't seem so necessary anymore.

GillespieRoad

57 points. I'm happy.

wonski

59 points - Silva leaving the pitch early gave me an extra clean sheet point.

134 total points, very good start. Aguero did some damage in the H2H league, though.

zarquon

60 points but still lost both my H2H games

Iused2likebusts

62 pts on 128 overall.

Ziegler1988

70 points good for 35k this GW. Overall rank hasn't updated but should be top 50k with 127 total
EDIT: 40k. Great start!

Scorpion Sting

65 points for the week and 139 points overall. Couldn't have dreamed of a start like this. Captaining Mata worked a treat and I'm glad I followed my instincts on that one.

Mr.Prodston

Scores and ranking updated:

GW rank of 73k and 67 points.
Overall 103k and 121 points.

Considering I was 1.25M last week it's a good GW2. Again rankings mean little so early but I'm a happy camper.

GLaDOS

61 points brings me up to 113, 270k ranking. Solid start, very happy.

wonski

Overall ranking updated. 3 points today caused a little "fall" down to 12k.
I am actually surprised to see green arrows after such an excellent GW1.
Great start so far, time to stay away from this for few days:D

PARlance

70 points brings me up to 126 (this is the new thing is it? ) and 50k overall.

A lovely little jump..., and that included what may be seen as a major transfer mistake!
RAMSEY -> Sterling needed to save cash for future moves that may mean the WC will be up my sleeve, Ramsey got the chop of Mata & Fab.
One of them had to go and I'm still happy with that move.
