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.

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years

      Same - given the way Sunderland have started.

    3. fedolefan

      All depends on the first goal. Can be a totally different game after that.

    My first TC was Carroll

    Prediction

    City will win 2-0 and the goals will come from the defenders.

    Anyone else's sold Alli and Kane for a hit?

    1. Game of Throw_ins
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yup for 2 hits.

    2. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. I stuck with Kane

      I was going to get aguero but i chickened out

  20. Syd.
    • 16 Years

    Kolarov just took one on the balls

    Ouch

  21. Lizard Lips

    My gut feeling was that Aguero would not deliver. My gut instinct is usually right but I TC'ed anyway. I would be susprised if Kun delivered a goal let alone anything else 🙁

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

      Your gut feeling was not to sell Eriksen though. So you don't call it all the time.

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Gut instinct was to sell I couldn't work out the logic behind my future moves.

    Pre-interview with Pep

    Journalist: Pep, it's the start of a busy period, 5 games in 14 days. Did you take that into account when you made your team selection for today?
    Pep: A little bit... a little bit. I think in the next games we will think more than today, but of course it's a lot of games in short period. But on the other side, it's nice and of course... [have no idea what he says here]
    Journalist: So, for instance, it's that why Kevin De Bruyne is on the bench? Not tactics or form?
    Pep: No no no... but in three days we play another game, in three days another game...[can't really tell what he says here] and he play a lot of games. In the last game for example Yaya and Silva didn't play, so... except the strikers, the last players played a lot of games, especially [can't tell what he says]. Bacary didn't play the last game, so.... Kolarov didn't play the last game, we'll try to make it [something]

    Sorry, but his English is quite bad and you can't always tell what he says. I also wrote this live when his interview was on, so make it what you will.
