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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Any chance Aguero will rise tonight (casuals)?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      No, falling too fast

    2. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      People already selling him in droves. No way he rises.

    One more Sergio goal I'm a happy man

    1. diesel001

    Which Liverpool midfielder to get for a hit for next GW? If you have no Liv players?

    1. Cry Me A River
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Mane / Firm / Cout

      Don't bother with Alli.

      1. Cry Me A River
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        *in that order

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years

      Mane is your man.

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Mane

    3. James101
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Why not wij?

    4. Messiah Hazard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Thanks all

    Can someone clarify?

    When I looked earlier this week their were only 4 fixtures for GW28 now there is 9?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Are you looking on the FPL app?

      1. tommo123
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah?

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          It's buggy, use the main website

      1. tommo123
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        App must be wrong! Big struggle next week for me then 🙁

    2. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Still 4..

    3. Alan_T
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The app is a disgrace

    4. tommo123

      Cheers guys

    Even one goal feels like massive relief.

    1. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely. The absolute minimum has been achieved. Hoping for at least 2 more involvements over the 2 games.

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

        I had 2 goals as an absolute minimum.

    2. Hobolicious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Agreed. Considering how this game week has been going for me I was sure this was going to be another failure.

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

      Scenes if he sneaks another on a counter!

    4. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yup. Would have been hell to wait until Wednesday... even if had ended up with the same score!

    5. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. Especially with full bonus.

      Are you streaming later Andy or not until Weds?

      1. Bezzer
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Andy busy drinking beer!

      2. andy85wsm
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure. Probably tomorrow or tonight + Weds as well.

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

          Nice. Hopefully tonight 😉

          Well done with Crouch by the way.

    6. greghammer95
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      This.

    7. Sif
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra showed even the big hitters blank so it's a big relief.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Streaming via a link on this site??

  6. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Can Segio get one more? Hell yeah he can!

  7. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years

    A goal for sterling would be lovely having sterling (c)

  8. Bezzer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    My gameweek just went up 200k places with that one goal!

    1. Egyptian Giza
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Howd you know blud

    2. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Same pretty much, couple more goals over the next few days would be lovely

  9. F4L
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Well one thing for sure, Aguero TC has already beaten Carroll TC 😆

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

      I'm happy with Aguero(c), his EO is only 108% (top 10k) so the more the merrier. 🙂

      Good day for me thus far with Alli and Sterling also.

  10. James101
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So now kun seems to be coming into some form, do we care about squad value again?

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      he's gone after the double

    2. FPL_Hazards
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Look at Citys fixtures. You'd have Kane before Kun surely.

      1. James101
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Why not both?

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez aswell?

    3. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      To have Kane and Sanchez and Kun is too much for me.. Think a City mid when the fixtures turn is a safe bet for covering assists and maybe get a few goals

      1. James101
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        What's your squad value mate?

        1. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          103.5ish sell I think.

          1. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Looking at Kane Lukaku and a midfield of Siggy Pedro Sanchez Coutinho and Alli if if I WC

  11. greghammer95
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    1 goal every 45 minutes in this GW from Aguero. Keep it up bud.

    Russian politician Igor Lebedev proposes legalising football hooliganism - http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39172314

    😮 😆 wtf

    1. Pep says
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That's nothing new. It's bigger than the actual soccer game in those parts. Think they have a fantasy league for it actually

    2. Gnu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Maybe The Donald has a point!!!

    3. Business Cat

      Just bought the fantasydraka.com domain 😉

  13. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Are you keeping any City players GW29+? Tough fixtures...

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe Sterling

  14. greghammer95
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Them bps right now are what dreams are made of.

    Aguero - 3
    Kolarov - 2
    Sterling - 1

    That'd be 13 points for me.

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

      Kola will get 3 if 1-0

      1. greghammer95
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Aguero winning goal though?

    2. Hobolicious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How? Agüero (TC) + owning the other two would be 9+2+1=12 points.

      1. greghammer95
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yep yep. Thought I had Sterling captain too....

        Ok just awful Maths.

    3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It really wouldn't

    4. Kevin Malone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      How?

    5. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yawn

      1. greghammer95
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        ?

  15. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    We still need another one today Kun!!!

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Agree. But still time.

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Agree. 😎

  16. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sane, please grab a goal lad.

  17. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero or Ibra out for Llorente in GW28?

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

      Wait for news on Ibra.

    2. El-Kloppico
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra will be suspended anyway

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Can't see Ibra not being pounded by the ban hammer

  18. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    one more sterling goal please and no more aguero involement

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Less likely to happen if you keep posting about it.

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

      Needs a downvote button.

  19. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Remember all that chat about Aguero's injury - shows how much trolling there is (and people say Lukaku is a troll)

  20. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Alright Kun nine more please

  21. vickyz r3d d3vil$ !!!
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sane..go and get a goal..justify the hit

  22. walkman666
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling should have more aggressively cut to the goal.

  23. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sunderland's going for it...

    ...good 🙂

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't really have a choice given where they are in the table

  24. Mic
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    If a shot deflects off a defender and the rebound falls to offside attacker, is it offside?

  25. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Caballero clearance must have driven Pep insane. Probably already asked Bravo to warm up.

  26. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling > Kdb to better the service for Kun please.

  27. Pep says
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I'm still mad that I fell asleep right before confirming the Ibra to Arnie transfer for a -4. As Andy said in the Pre Match article, that one will linger....

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

      Ibra to Arnie..?

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

      what?

    3. Hobolicious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra to Arnie?

    4. BadgersBoys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What?

    5. Back on the horse
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      That doesn't make sense for many reasons

  28. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Would 1 goal and 3BPS be a return you're happy with for those TC Aguero?

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      One more goal then I would be happy

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

      If he does it again on Wednesday, yes

  29. djenzio
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sunderland gonna have to push up can see another City goal

  30. diesel001
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling's crossing is not that good
