After Spurs edged past Everton thanks to two more goals from Harry Kane at the Lane, it’s now time for Sunday’s main event.

Manchester City travel to Wearside in the first of their double Gameweek fixtures, with Pep Guardiola’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 yesterday’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 – 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.

    Imagine if every week was Triple Captain pts. Would it be good or bad?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      bad

    2. andy85wsm

      Bad

    3. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years

      It would lose the thrill

    4. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Bad.

    5. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Depends on how good you are at choosing captains.

    6. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      terrible

    7. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Very, very bad.

    8. Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      terrible , although I would prefer a 1 week chip where both VC and C scores double

    9. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      I'm crap at captain picks...so bad

    10. Belsunz

      Bad

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      And a quintuple/ sextuple captain chip? Yikes!

    14. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Awful. Anything can happen in 90 minutes, the regular captaincy is already very luck-based. Ibrahimovic apparently had a lot of chances against Bournemouth, and even took a penalty, but he would have given us -3 due to bad luck.

  4. Oven Glover
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    To quote Ice Cube:

    Today was a good day!

    Kane, Alli, Kaku, Sterling and Kun(C)

    1. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wow!

    2. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane, kaku, sterling and aguero TC myself ☺️

      1. Oven Glover
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        High five!

        1. Shteve
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Indeed, it's been a good day!

      2. Messiah Hazard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Same here

  5. Hobolicious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    To be honest, the call was correct. Sterling was offside and involved in the play. Sterling should probably have had a free kick against him as well (and yes, I have Agüero as TC).

  6. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Gutted I TC'd Barnes 🙁

    1. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ooh I should've done that

  7. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    So, will people be happy with two 1-0 City wins, Aguero scoring both, surely getting 6 bonus in the process?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No

      I want blood

    2. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      As a captainer, yes

    3. Hobolicious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, that would be 18x3 points.

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Want another goal from kun. And want kdb to come on to assist.

    5. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Would like 15 points so yes.

    6. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      MOAR

    7. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    8. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      9 + 9 = 18 x 3 = 54 ?

      I'd be delighted tbh.

    9. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No, I'm greedy.

      Back to back braces please...maybe even a hat-trick!

    10. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No. My rival has Willy.

    11. Ohhh Shola Ameobi
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Think I agree with the majority, I'd love 18 (x3). Beats my Martial TC from last season by miles...

  8. rnrd
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Now That is has been unlocked, I want to see kdb in as an aguero rocket counter attack launcher

  9. AA33
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Clearly Aguero was giving it to Silva, he waited before passing it. Would have been an Aguero assist 🙁

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Sterling impeded the defender though, and he was offside

    • WVA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Please tell me that was a Stirling assist?

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yes.

      2. mcrayeps
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        No.. Sterling did

    • Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Can see Sunderland's high pressing game leaving them gassed in the second half.

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That is the hope.

    • Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I really need a sane goal or assist, got him in for a hit

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Patience

    • Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Andy. Are you streaming tonight or not until Wednesday?

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        If SAS score more he won't stand not streaming to celebrate

        1. Smurf
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Hopefully.

          He can also brag about his Crouch assist too.

    • Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Come on Aguero you have 2 more goals in you before 75'

    • FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      That Jones lad seems to do well from corners!

    • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd gladly take one more plus full baps for Kun, then onwards to Stoke home

    • Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Just a sterling goal now will do me nicely

    • Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I WANT BLOOOOOD 1-6!

    • Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Now I have the quandary of whether or not I sell Kun after this GW to enable me to restrengthen my team with the likes of Mane etc

      1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Think I will sell him for GW29 to get back Kane, Alli and stuff

      2. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Get rid

        Simples

    • Mic
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      hope sterling assist stays..

      1. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Of course it will

        1. Mic
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          without the deflection there is no chance but i hope youre right

    • George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sterling goal and a Sunderland goal would be very welcome.

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Is City defence ownership high?

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I know their owners are, but...

    • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Somebody sack Redknapp & his senseless drivel

      1. ChampChomp
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Surely they can hire people with more of a clue than the likes of him

    • Djerbil
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Unless Kun scores 1 more Kolarov will walk away with 3 BAPS

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        You think it will stay 0-1?

      2. Shteve
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        A long way to go yet

    • Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      WTF how is kolarov on 2 bonus

      1. Ha.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He's got 16bps, which is the second highest

        1. Bruno Bruno!!
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          yeah but he hasnt done an awful lot

    • James101
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Odds on a Sunderland collapse now?

      1. diesel001
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Evens.

      2. Clump
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        They'll have to push for a goal.

      3. The Head-Ake
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Nope

    • Lav
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      2-1 or 3-1 would be brilliant. Aguero scores 2/3 and Sane gets the assists

    • StalkingDwarf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Sitting through a City DGW, hoping for Sterling points while hoping Aguero isn't involved isn't a fun time.

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      KDB last 15 minute brace 😛

    • The Head-Ake
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Is it foolish to hope for a miracle considering I only got Toure and captained him?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        You better hope for it quick cause I'd be surprised if he starts on Wednesday.

    • James101
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Now kun seems to be coming back to some form, do we care about squad value again?
