After Spurs edged past Everton thanks to two more goals from Harry Kane at the Lane, itโ€™s now time for Sundayโ€™s main event.

Manchester City travel to Wearside in the first of their double Gameweek fixtures, with Pep Guardiolaโ€™s in-form outfit subject to huge Fantasy Premier League investment over the last few days.

Snapped by over 377,000 FPL managers, Sergio Aguero was the most sought-after asset prior to yesterdayโ€™s deadline after racking up four goals and two assists in his last pair of appearances across all competitions.

Surprisingly second to Zlatan Ibrahimovic in terms of overall armband backers for Gameweek 27, Aguero has, however, been triple captained by a substantial 159,000+ FPL managers, with City also set to entertain Stoke on Wednesday evening.

With a goal or assist in eight of his last ten league outings, Raheem Sterling acquired over 338,000 new owners last week โ€“ over 16,000 have wielded their triple captain chip on the winger.

Four goals and three assists in his last seven starts across all competitions has Leroy Sane shaping up as a differential, with the summer signing sitting in just 3% of squads, but Kevin De Bruyne’s owners are left disappointed as the Belgian surprisingly drops to the bench for the first match of double-header. As many as 6,937 FPL managers have played their Triple Captain chip on De Bruyne for Gameweek 27.

    So ML rival has Mane + Firmino, so I should go with Coutinho to differentiate? And probably double up later on if suitable?

    Any advice !!

      You have 8 playing -- you ok with that? Thats the first question.

    2. George Costanza
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Quit shouting. Aguero+Sterling>Llorente+Coutinho

    3. THFC4LIFE

      Aguero Sterling Kingsley > Llorente firmino mawson?

  4. JÆKS โญ
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you rather have for the next 6 weeks or so:

    A) Fernandez + Snoddy
    B) Olsson + King

    1. Big_Bear
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B by a mile

      1. JÆKS โญ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Snoddy has the better fixtures though, so hence the dilemma

        Can't really say King has the form with 2 pens scored

    2. Foozeball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      B

  5. George Costanza

    Something that is never mentioned. You can see how many transfers your ML rivals make before the new gameweek starts. Surely this is a bug that needs fixing? My ML rival told me he knew I had made 3 this week and I suspect that this is why he also went 3 in the end.

    1. Big_Bear
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I agree. It shold be fog of war until the GW starts.

      1. George Costanza
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Fog of war! ๐Ÿ˜€

    2. Uncle Gamst
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I think that it adds extra dimension to the game; last minute transfers to so your rival hasn't time to react.

      1. Uncle Gamst
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        and of course you have to make an educated guess as to which transfers they've made.

  6. Leaf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero to Llorente (have decided he's a better bet than Carroll , fitness, price rises , covers Siggy)

    Then for a -4 I'm thinking
    Capoue to Grosicki

    Anything wrong with that ?
    The other thought was Snoddy.

  7. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero Sterling Kingsley > Llorente firmino mawson

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Reply fail

  8. Uncle Gamst
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of doing Sane > Siggy tonight as nothing in the bank and Siggy due to rise. Will then wait and see whether Ibra gets charged. If he does then move him for Lorrente for -4 and bench Sergio for time being.

    That will give me 9 for next week.

    Then GW29 probably Sergio > Kane and Lallana > Alli, which leaves 4.8 in the bank for transfers in such as Lorrrente > Gabbiadini, Lallana > Sanchez over next few weeks.

    Does this sound like a plan or not?

    Thanks

  9. EDEN THE MAN
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero to Llorente for a -4?

    I feel he will score pretty big next couple of weeks.

  10. Vinyl78LP
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So no GK for 28 and will likely go without, have Grant and Mannone

    Questions are
    A/ Mannone > Pickford for 29 (BUR) straight swap ?
    B/ Is Butland and closer to fitness and ousting Grant ?

  11. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Heaton
    Baines Brunt Evans Holgate*
    Mane Siggy Carroll Phillips*
    Lukaku

    Pickford Aguero Kane Sterling Alonso

    With Ibra -> Lukaku being the main transfer of choice, is it worth taking a hit to assure 10 starters?

    A) Sterling > Firmino (-4)
    B) Holgate > Olsson/Mawson (-4)
    C) Phillips > Antonio/Snod (-4)
    D) Sterling & Holgate > Firmino & Olsson (-8)

  12. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Have taken a -8 for this lot
    Foster
    Brunt Amat Coleman
    Firmino Coutinho Mané Siggy
    Llorente Lukaku
    Which is 10 players, would it be worth taking another hit for full 11?

  13. New Post
  14. Gatsby

    Not sure what to do at all.

    Have 2ft

    Boruc (Pickford)
    Lovren*, Alonso, McCauley (Gibson, Amat)
    Mane, Siggy, Eriksen, Phillips (Capoue)
    Kane, Costa, (Carroll*)

    3.8 ITB and 2 free transfers.

    What needs fixing most?
    Help much appreciated!

  15. Man Chest Hair United
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Best option
    A firmino already have Mane
    B Antonio

    1. MMN
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Tricky, probably Firmino. Have Firmino Mane Snodgrass myself so may go Antonio but like will just get Siggy only.

  16. MMN
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking Sterling & Defoe > Siggy & Llorente?

    Both may rise tonight, pull the trigger or wait?

    1 FT 0.7m ITB.

    Foster (Pickford)
    Coleman McAuley (Jones Alonso Pieters)
    Snodgrass Mane Firmino Phillips (Sterling)
    Lukaku (Defoe Aguero)

      9 years, 1 month ago

      7 for next week

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Pray they generate enough points to spend on hits.

      1. Z
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Llorente, Lukaku, Mané and another from midfield?

  18. NickBa

    My team for GW 28
    Jaku - cech
    Yoshida Baines Cahill Mcauley rose
    Antonio Phillips Firmino Siggy sane
    Aguero lukaku graban

    Only 7 players playing (jaku, Baines, mcauley, antonio, Firmino, siggy and lukaku) maybe 8 if Phillips get fit.

    1 ft 0itb.

    Please I need help, what should I do now for gw28 and the game weeks coming after?

    Thanks ...

  19. Pigsinblankets

    Sanchez or Hazard/Pedro for GW29?

  20. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Was planning to do Kun > Kane but should I now save and keep Kun for the home game against Arsenal?

    Was also planning to do Carroll > Gabbi next week as I don't want to bring him in this week for Spurs away. No cash ITB

    Heaton - Pickford
    Brunt - McAuley - Coleman - Mawson - Amat
    Sanchez - Siggie - Mane - King - Phillips
    Lukaku - Kun - Carroll.
