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

    This has been an awful match to watch.

    City are so boring with Peps possession football.

    The crossing has being diobolical and they should be destroying Sunderland with the chances they could have gotten.

    Not a great performance at all.

    City playing anti-football. Boring watch.

    Ok, come on now Sane. Grab a goal. Sterling is off too.

      Wow are you going to be going on about Sterling this much all week?

      He has got one assist. One.

      No need to be this upset you didn't get him in for Eriksen.

    3. Differentiator
      • 10 Years

      With Sterling off, would be perfect timing for a Sunderland goal

    4. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years

      I could just get exact money to get Sané and not Sterling. Lucky me.

    5. HazardAGuess

      Kun not being subbed a possible danger for his Stoke minutes?

      1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago
