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

    Aguero 90 minutes, does that mean Nacho starts the newt one

    3. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      No...but probably less minutes on Wednesday...maybe an hour

    4. Royal5

      🙄

    Pickford killing my green arrow

  3. fedolefan

    Sane subbed. Well played lad. Do the same on Wednesday again.

    Pickford deserves more than just 2 points from this game

    1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      He might get 3.

  5. BALOOO
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Rage transferring Pickford out from my team.

  6. PvA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Aguero 90

  7. FPL Puppy
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    3 extra minutes

  8. Richd

    How other TC'ers feeling about Aguero?

    I'm actually very satisfied. It's not a blank, so cannot complain 🙂

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, happy for the first game

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      7 points isn't great but as you say, it's not a blank.

    3. Yome
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not satisfied, wanted 3 bonus and one more goal or assist

    4. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      7 is good. He could've been on the bench instead of De Bruyne.

    5. Leaf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yep I'm satisfied

    6. Sif
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Didn't do an Ibra, happy.

    7. The Tinkerman
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not bad, would have been better if not for Pickford.

    8. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Stoke at home was always going to be the one. 7 here isn't bad

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

      Hopeful! If KDB starts ahead of Yaya on Wednesday in the same set up we could all go big!

    10. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah that'll do.

    11. BALOOO
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      1 more goal would be perfect. With only 1 im not mad but not to happy either, just hope he scores at least 2 vs Stoke.

    12. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not over the moon but satisfied!

      Couple of goals Wednesday and he gets 60 points as TC pretty much, which isn't quite GW34 levels last year but I'd take it given the other options for sure

    13. Conk
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A blank would've made the stoke game unwatchable, at least it settles the nerves

    14. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      2 goals was absolute minimum from this DGW.

      At the top end 3+ I'd be THRILLED.

    15. Celt Abroad
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      If he can 5 more points I'll be glad I triple captained him instead of Andre Gray.

    16. The Enlightener
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Frustrated. You would expect more chances than he got. Sure, points are nice, but not nice enough considering fixture. Put it this way. If I had not TCapped him, I would think I would be happier with the result. That knock on last play of game didn't help either.

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

    Nacho ain't match fit, settle down!

  10. Fred54
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    3 added mins.

  11. red forever

    Kun mid week rest incoming

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      No don't think so.

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I agree

    3. Richd
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I think his rest comes for the FA cup game which is days before the Monaco game.

  12. Revival
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Coutinho my only mid not to get any attacking returns this week despite being at the heart of every good Liverpool move

  13. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    1 goal from Aguero is so disappointing

    1. HazardAGuess
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Still mid-week game to go, lad.

  14. Danstoke82
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    I'll take Kun's TC return today, could of been worse.

    Sterling owner too but unfortunately not Sane.

    1. Guru Mediation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Not blanking is all that is important. Happy

  15. Lizard Lips
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    millimetres away from Kun tap in, can't catch a break.

  16. Rainer
    • 10 Years

    KEV 🙁

  17. diesel001
    • 9 Years

  19. Lav

    Omfg

  20. Hobolicious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Why do you not pass that to Agüero, KdB?!

  21. CloudSky
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    That was Pickfords 6th save, right?

  22. Danstoke82
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Just hope that Kun isn't benched in the week for Nacho considering he's played the full 90?

    1. Halftime
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      De Bruyne could start instead of him too, was rested today

  23. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    With Sané's CS locked in Kolarov will now score an OG.

  24. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Incredible that Aguero only has one. F you Pickford

  25. Laurel and Vardy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Pickford is class. No doubt about it.

  26. Rainer
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    PEN? 😛

  27. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    Aguero hurt

  28. joescores
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Yaya was horrendous in this match ... Hopefully he won't play on Wednesday

    1. bigwig
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I disagree, I thought he was good

  29. Richd
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    kun down!!

  30. Conk
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago
