Striker: Sergio Aguero

This selection was the toughest of all for me. I was so torn between Suarez and City’s Sergio Aguero that I almost declared a tie. But that would be nothing but weakness on my part, so I bit the bullet and let the current form of both players make the decision.

Historically, Luis Suarez is much more resistant to injury than Aguero, but both have started off excellently this season for the most part. Suarez has scored eight goals with four assists for Barcelona this season, while Sergio Aguero has scored eleven times in eight appearances for Manchester City so far.

While this choice may be hotly debated by fans on both sides, I made the call based on current form alone. So Barcelona wins the selection process seven to four, in one of the few times all year a team could do that to City. If you agree with me, let me know, and if you disagree, tell me with whom, and why!
