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

    Phew.....thought it was going to hit post and end up a tap in for Sterling there for a second

    Damn

  12. Rawslang

    Sane reminds me of Alli, just with bigger hair!!

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

      And better finishing

      1. Make United Great Again

    Sunderland supporters leaving. What were they expecting?

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

    I got Sane and not Sterling

    Okay so far 😉

  15. diesel001
    • 9 Years

    One more Aguero goal would be perfect here.

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

    Non-Defoe Sunderland goal would be splendid.

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

      Agreed.

  17. S.Kuqi

  19. Lav

  20. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    One more Aguero goal from Sane/Sterling would be great. Stoke home is the real golden fixture.

    1. KingNidge
      • 10 Years

      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, Kane and Mane points need to be clawed back for me 🙂

  24. fedolefan

    9 years, 1 month ago

    I can never understand the people supporting smaller clubs leaving early against City. What are they expecting? A 3-0 tonking City? Surely you need to support your team for the full 90 against the bigger teams.

    1. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Well said.

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I agree. Also I Think Sunderland has put in a great efffort... Poor form from the fans in my book

    3. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Its weird. Not real fans imo - tickets arent cheap either.

    4. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      And no matter how proud a small club supporter may be, they still don't mind the money they've paid to watch some world class footballers too

  25. pundit of punts
