Did you replace Aguero before or after he tore Munich apart last night?

Done a mad -8 to bring in Costa, Rooney and Yun

Replacing Clyne, Aguero and Pellé

Immediately regret it

My thinking was Southampton have a horrible set of fixtures, Costa I cannot do with out, Ageuro is on fire one week and freezing the next and United\Rooney hitting a bit of form with some nice fixtures to follow

Selling Aguero might bite me in the bum bum

Three Chelsea and no City is not ideal. You probably should have sold either Cesc/Haz and Welbeck and got Costa and kept Aguero.

Arbitrary

Boyd in, Moses out as he's confirmed injured and will miss up to 8 weeks. Sitting on -8 and I have to sweat Chadli, Downing and Rose.

Ace2007

bit late now, but havin 3 Chelsea guys it a bit much imo, we saw at the weekend that chelsea when they went 2-0 didnt' seem to bothered to get 4/5/6 goals against a 10 man team.

excluding the everton game, the average for chelsea is about 2 goals a game. is it worth having all 3, - imo no, if it means that you can't have Aguero, there are a few players that shouldnt' really be sold, i would probably put the them in the order below in terms off keep at all costs.

Aguero,
Costa,
Sanchez
either Hazard/Fab
ADM
Baines

Most teams will probably have 5/6 of them. I have Baines down near bottom because everton do leak goals and is expensive and i get the arguemnts against. ADM would be higher up if United were firing in all cylinders, and maybe you could exclude him if Rooney played further forward.

I think selling Welbeck instead of Aguero would have been the smarter choice.

and get the funds to bring in Costa and Rooney how? Call Abramovich? I'm not selling Fab or Hazard

I think many (myself included) would suggest that Aguero is more 'essential' than any of those 4.....

But that's the beauty of the game, each to their own and good luck with it!!

Coming up to Christmas I think Rooney will become more essential.

Aguero will miss a couple of games (rested) and Rooney will play every minute.

My head (without any stats) is telling me that Rooney (when he plays) always scores well at Christmas time. is this a myth or just in my head?

Anger due to the few times he's given me 2 or 4 points as captain and City firing.... but you're right thats the beauty of the game! I'd rather have Fab and Costa and an in form Rooney

You've your mind made up but it seems to me that you are making a huge mistake. Fabregas is fine, he wouldn't be a player that I am interested in at that price, but you are preferring Rooney to Aguero. I think that's gonna hurt you. How are you getting on so far?

I agree having Rooney over Christmas could be a good call, tho i'd be more inclined to ditch Costa over Ageuro, Aguero seems to have put his injury troubles behind him, whereas there's still a shadow over Costa in that regard. Also GW17-20 is just delicious for City, even if Aguero were to miss one of those 4 matches, he could still bring in massive points

Yeah, I could see bringing in Rooney for Costa especially if he gets the Yellow.

But for me Aguero is crucial, he could score 15 points in pretty much any game against any opposition. Even against Swansea his shooting stats etc. were still very very good. I've had 2 x 2 pointers from him as C now, but I also had a 38 pointer so can't really fault the lad!!

I can see more 2 pointers from Rooney. I'm more keeping an eye out for Falcao finally getting a run in the team as he has potential to be an explosive scorer too.

Im on 686 points, top of my work league by 20. I'm preferring Rooney fab costa and hazard to Aguero pelle and two cheaper Midfielders

Are people forgetting how deep Rooney is with falcao and rvp on the pitch? Di maria gets further forward, is cheaper and doesn't hog a forward spot where there are many cheap players doing well.

I had rooney from the start but he plays too deep. He's likely to get more assists than goals and less bonuses than if he was more advanced. Aguero is a far better captain choice given he's guaranteed pens and frequently is getting braces whereas Rooney isn't

No united attackers for me...yet

Wouldn't Rooney and Costa be a lot more expensive than Pelle and Aguero?

I cannot stress enough what a mistake you are making by going with Rooney over Aguero at the moment, that 20 point lead could be wiped out in 10 minutes.

Rooney has regularly missed games over Xmas and hasn't done much scoring wise in the last few years when he has played. Not that it's too relevant to what will happen this year I do think he would be one of the safer options to go with if your looking at game time due to him being captain.

Based on upcoming fixtures and overall personal and team form: Siggy.

Aguero will be rested a max of one game at Xmas IMO. City need him on the pitch and he's the most essential player in the game for me.

People talk about injury problems but last season was the first in eight or nine years that he didn't play 30 games.

He's also the one player IMO capable of some near 20 point scores this season.

Thanks, prob right plus hes cheaper

Very similar points per minute at the moment. 'd say if Eriksen can play regular 90 minutes he'll be well ahead of Siggy at seasons end.

Eriksens returns the last couple of games mean he's much more likely to play full games. I fancy him for a run and would like him in my team if I had space. Which I don't

Swiper the fox

Siggy has better fixtures for now and I May bring him in myself this week but I think Eriksen plays for a better team and will out score him over the season. Will it justify the extra million? I don't know.
However people who have said it isn't éven close should look at the stats and think back to last year.

If were the same price or if eriksen was able to shoot straight then he might be better value than siggy but his shot accuracy is just shocking. Siggys goal involvement is almost double eriksens for the season and with their good fixtures he will surely be getting involved in the goals if Swansea are scoring them. Maybe I'm just looking at the stats biastly but just isn't close to me!

He would need to drastically improve his shooting accuracy too which is incredibly bad right now. If he can get regular 90 minutes and starts to be more accurate then he will be great value but based on what we actually have to go on siggy has to be the one right now.

Swiper the fox

When you say Eriksen can't shoot straight are you basing that purely on some stats, I wouldn't agree with that at all, admittedly I haven't seen a lot of 90 minutes of Spurs matches this year so far but Eriksen and can't shoot straight don't seem to fit.

I haven't watched all their matches but the numbers are shocking 7.7% shooting accuracy over the last four compared to 28% for siggy. I can't believe eriksen will continue to be hitting the target so rarely but it is something to keep an eye on. Siggy had 50% more touches in the box over that period so I would assume is shooting from closer in general maybe Eriksen just likes an optimistic pop at goal the odd time! I think Eriksen will no doubt improve his shooting but I can't see him reaching the potential to become better value than siggy rorbthe next 10 gws or however long it is to the Jan WC.

Siggy shoots straight at the keeper though. I'd rather have a player trying to hit corners and a lower % than one who always puts it down the middle. That being said, I would go for Siggy over Eriksen due to the 1m difference and I don't think Spurs players can be trusted.
