All other fantasy prospects in that team are overpriced for the points they return. <br />vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669928024054522852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-8223447384448568182012-11-02T10:48:27.665-04:002012-11-02T10:48:27.665-04:00so you mention Kagawa (dicey prospects), Silva (a ...so you mention Kagawa (dicey prospects), Silva (a smokescreen'd enigma this season) and Yaya (more Mancini formation madness)... too difficult to justify owning a non-defense player from either team. One player catches my eye whenever I see United, however: Antonio Valencia. SAF loves playing him whenever possible, and he's effective: 4 goals, 14 assists (!), and 17 bonus points last season. From just 2100 minutes.. i believe injured kept him from playing more. No, he is not cheap at 8.6m, but what a differentiator he might make. <br />Your thoughts, gents?vanillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06669928024054522852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-89014666040524098732012-11-02T08:22:25.680-04:002012-11-02T08:22:25.680-04:00Great analysis again Chris.

I'm also wary of Tevez' playing time, but still want some City cover. <br /> The problem I've found is that , if one considers attacking players from both Manc clubs to be mandatory, and the lack of solid choices in both midfields means you need to hold forwards instead,you don't actually save any money with either combination. They offset each other. Rooney + Aguero is great point differential (for now) ,but adds up to 22.9 in cost ,and RVP + Tevez is 22.9 as well. I could go Rooney+Tevez, but I still think Tevez is more prone to rotation than Aguero in the long run, especially if City fall out of the CL. I'm waiting for a midfielder on either team to start to perform consistently, so I can possibly get out of the RVP/Rooney/Aguero/Tevez? conundrum and free up some funds to beef up another part of my squad...<br />cheers !mischtyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12704527183315178428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-84971855003268129342012-11-02T00:28:23.338-04:002012-11-02T00:28:23.338-04:00Excellent analysis Chris!

The first time I read it, all I could say was Thank God, someone actually took a fair approach to the Rooney vs RVP debate. <br />I have a question for you though-what would you prefer-Rooney and Aguero, or RVP and Suarez(who in my opinion is better than Tevez and will probably outscore him this season). I can afford both pairs, but am very very confused. Any help will be appreciated!Gauravhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833245495145455262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-10886717173957475492012-11-01T22:40:09.036-04:002012-11-01T22:40:09.036-04:00Excellent as always chris.

This just gave me more confidence in my decision to not break my defence to get RVP and go with Rooney.<br /><br />I suspected the data is right about Tev vs Aguero but I just can't see a way to own both him and Rooney right now so I'll just hope that Tevez continues to deliever until my team value is high enough to get Aguero. Also you prob won't feel as bad when Tevez gets rotated as you would if Aguero gets rotated as he is likely to be your pointman/cap.CDIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842499368517317846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-48900487024244426362012-11-01T21:39:31.654-04:002012-11-01T21:39:31.654-04:00I am looking at using my wildcard in the next week...I am looking at using my wildcard in the next week or two and this article is excellent.<br /><br />I think the tide will start to turn and Aguero will outperform Tevez from december onwards<br /><br />And Rooney is offering the value as well as having good numbers its very interesting.gurkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13906343955201678435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-88898705825697055122012-11-01T20:44:41.225-04:002012-11-01T20:44:41.225-04:00And I also agree with you on United probably scori...And I also agree with you on United probably scoring a bit less going forward. RVP especially has slightly overperformed IMO looking at his historical conversion rate.

As I will go for him this week over RVP. And I agree with you totally on RVP being the better option mainly BC of being a good C pick every week. But some people dont like to have it always on the safe option- like me. Pulmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09959874483484651566noreply@blogger.com
