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

    Ah would Ye stop with the Aguero injured bull. He got a kick in the shin, it hurts, he'll be grand

    Well that ensures the random accounts posting rumours will be rife on Weds 😀

  9. Yome

    I hate you Pickford

  10. SirStevieG

    Captain Aguero and Sterling both got returns but somehow I'm unhappy.

    Could have been more...

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

    I'll take this as an Aguero captainer and Sane owner.

  12. KingNidge
    • 10 Years

    Aguero captainers happier than triple captainers... for now...

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

      But the money game is on Wednesday.

  13. Differentiator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Real winners so far are Kane captainers or Aguero single captainers

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

      Agree.

    2. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Or Sanchez triple captainers vs. West Ham 😉

    3. Sif
      • 13 Years

      Not until your TC beats Aguero's final score.

  14. Rainer

    Whats a City game w/o a Kun hobble!

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

    I think it's fair to say Pickford did well on his City tryout

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

    At least Sergio got a hug from Pep

  17. PvA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on that for Aguero TCers?

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

      Bad, one goal, one bonus not enough

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

      Poor to average

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

      Content. Another vs Stoke is minimum. Expecting 2!

    4. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Not bad but not great. It's a start.

  18. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    So..how are SA3S people feeling at "half time"?

    1. Richd
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Good. Despite taking out Alli and Lukaku,

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

      Surely rather good? Aguero goal; Sane goal; Sterling assist.

      TC-ers may be a little worried but that's a nice points haul regardless?

  19. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    He's FINE

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

      Yeah, he's fine now

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

    Limping is Aguero's way of celebrating. He always does it after goals too.

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

    only 21 for Aguero TC'ners

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

    7x3=21 points from the first game. Not too bad. Still hopes for more against Stoke.

    KdB on the pitch looked much better for City. Hopefully he will start against Stoke.

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

      Yeah, just a pity Aguero didn't bag an assist or goal from KDB's contributions.

  23. FootballFanatic365
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    MCI saving grace

  24. DR0GBA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Now we wait for Wednesday to get disappointed some more

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

    Aguero pushes Pep!!!

    Go on Daily Mail, milk it

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

    Aguero flagged 😛

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

    Aguero looks alright again. Ultimately disappointing with Aguero (c) and choosing Sterling over Mané. But still Wed to go. . .

  28. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you want the least from GW29 onwards?

    A) Llorente
    B) Carroll
    C) Defoe

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

      B or C

  29. Richd
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Whats the winning goal worth BPS wise?

    1. Cookie Kid
      • 9 Years

      3

  30. Cookie Kid
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    No Kun and Sane (C) well I survived, in fact rank has gone from 2.1k to 1.7k

    Here's hoping to a Kun rest on Weds
