After Spurs edged past Everton thanks to two more goals from Harry Kane at the Lane, itโ€™s now time for Sundayโ€™s main event.

Manchester City travel to Wearside in the first of their double Gameweek fixtures, with Pep Guardiolaโ€™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 yesterdayโ€™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 โ€“ 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.

    Is he back up and walking?

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

      Yeah. Looks sexy too

  2. โญ Bemba_Da โญ

    Only 1 goal v Sunderland

    Poor stuff, not happly

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

      I did TC, and im happy enough.

      No blank guaranteed. Anything on top is a bonus. That was the tough fixture of the two.

    2. The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      18 pts isn't terrible, he still has one more game you know?

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

      Agree

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

      Imagine if he blanked. We go again with confidence on Wed!

    5. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      You were obviously not one of the many who had Lukaku TC last season.

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Better than a blank.

    7. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm happy enough. Possibility of a blank gone, the more attractive of the two fixtures still to come.

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

        This. He's done decent so far. Now for a brace on Wednesday ๐Ÿ™‚

  3. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kolarov max baps...Sane and Silva easily the best players on the pitch, this is probably why I don't do very well.

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

      BPs not updated yet

  4. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero looked fine at the end. Smiling and walking without treatment

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

      I read that as 'booked' fml im jumpy tonight.

  5. CloudSky
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Where is Pickfords 6th save?

    1. Kevin Malone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think the last one counted as a save as it was a cross not a shot.

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

    How are SA3S people feeling at "half time"?

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

      Good ๐Ÿ™‚

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

        Decent returns so far

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

      If it's another single goal and bap against Stoke then Sanchez Ibra Kane could potentially destroy that total in their dgws for those that held TC

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

        or could blank ๐Ÿ™‚

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

          If we are talking worst case scenario then Kun could blank against Stoke ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    TC fail so far;
    Kane:13 + 8 transfer hit: 21pts
    Aguero:7 + Sane:10 + Sterling 6: 23 pts

    1. InSaneMan-e
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Except you have these 3 to still play again

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Or, you're already ahead without any of the second games played.

  8. Neto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kolarov you beauty!

  9. Fantasytom
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    What are people doing with ibra?

    Already have kun and lukaku.

    Llorente in for a week and then Kane in for lukaku the week after?

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

      Selling for Llorente

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

        Thinkin the same. Was planning to get Gabbi in GW29, but maybe I'll jus stick with Kane & Costa/Lukaku with Llorente instead.

    2. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      you'll want Lukaku vs. Hull GW29 though

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Lukaku

    4. Business Cat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Selling for Llorente...it's causing me an unexpected hit for next week...so I'm softening the blow by bringing in two blank players

  10. Ninja Škrtel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kolarov with 3 BAPS???? ffs...

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

      Jonty called it on the scoutcast

  11. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Chelsea CS and Hazard double digit score needed

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

      I'll take 1-1: Alonso and Carroll to score.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Told you to sell Hazard over Alli ๐Ÿ˜‰

  12. crikeybruce
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    I felt like Man City really controlled that game superbly. If anything they've conserved energy for Wednesday night. I'm happy enough with the return from my City players. Bring on Wednesday!

  13. Jayv807
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Frustrating to watch the endless back passes. I'll take the Kun/Sterling points and pray the both start at stoke.

  14. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero will surely start next game?

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

      Turmoil if not. He should!

  15. 1zverGGademN
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    This attitude from city is frustrating.. This game they had to score 4+ goals and build a momentum before the game with Monaco next week, which is the real deal. Look what Barca did last evening to Celta to lift the spirits at Camp Nou for the miracle they had to make on Wed... Now I really hope Monaco to crash and burn this side :@

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

    A rested KDB to play false 9 on Wednesday night?

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

      Nope.

  17. Egyptian Giza
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    how certain is kun only getting 1 bonus point?

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

      He gets 3 BPS for winning goal. It wouldn't shock me if FPL make him somehow equal with Sane for the 2. They tend to favour the high owned players if in doubt.

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

        Kun is 4 points behind Sane so even with those 3 added he is still on 1 BP

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

          I know but they make other adjustments for dispossessions, shots on or off target, etc

    2. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Winning goal is +3 I think. Will be close but I think he stays on 1.

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

        How does he get winning goal BPS when the score was 2-0!?

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

          Because he scored the first one which was the winning goal.

        2. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          So 10-0 equals last goal bonus?

  18. JÆKS โญ
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Got 0.0 itb for this plan:

    Gw 28: Sterling to Snodgrass
    Gw 29: Phillips + Aguero to Sanchez + Kane

    I'm going to be priced out by then probably right?

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

    Any chance Kun recovers the 2 BAP?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      no

  20. Liastro โญ๏ธ
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think Ibra will get banned?

    1. Belsunz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      He will

  21. The Bandit
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Jeez, people complaining already? It's only half time ๐Ÿ™„

  22. Zlat-man
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    72 with 4 to go.

    1. Zlat-man
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Such a fool.. Totally forgot abt Che game.
      72 with 6 to go

    2. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Smug.

  23. Jay_
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aside from Aguero and how you captained, the big diffs were the other players you had. I only had Sterling and disappointed

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Sterling, Kane, Mane, Grant, Siggy did ok ๐Ÿ™‚

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

        Agreed - I sold Alli for Sterling and Phillips for Sane, so happy overall. Also kept Kane and Lukaku, sold Costa for Aguero.

      3. Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Very happy with Sterling, Stones and Aguero TC.

      4. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Only had Sterling too ...sold Alli for him though. Doh!

    • C_G
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Score check?

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

        71.

        Alonso, Grant, Sterling, Aguero (TC)

      2. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Some
        Should have been more

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

        59
        Alonso costa sane sterling kun (tc)

        ๐Ÿ™

      4. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        66-8 (if Sane 2baps and Kun 1)

      5. Firminooooo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        80(-8) with bonus. Alonso, Lanzini, Sterling, Stones and Aguero x3 to go.

        1. Point-one short
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Wow, nice score! Well done.

          66 (-4) with kun (tc) and sterling here.

      6. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        91 w/ Aguero (C), Sterling, Grant and Pieters left.

    • TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Very disaplointing

    • Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      The Stoke game is the one that really tempted to TC him so hopefully he does the business.

      He was very close to a 2nd though so I can't help but feel slightly disappointed

    • HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Meh
      City just passing it about instead of attacking was really annoying

    • A Betting Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      What a load of rubbish, pass the ball around the back 4 for half the game.

    • The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Who gets the bps for winning goal in a 2-0? Anyone?

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

        The first scorer

        1. Colonel Shoe ่‚ๆฑ 
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          this

        2. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Fingers crossed that bumps him up to two bonus points then!

      2. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Aguero

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

          Is this correct? Would it not only apply if it was 1-0 or 2-1?!

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

            No. Think about it, if Aguero doesn't score, for all we know it stays 0-0. Aguero scoring the first goal is the goal that won the game. If Sunderland had scored, then Sané's goal would have won the game.

    • Baked baines
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I'm relatively happy with 21 points for Aguero.
      Stoke at home was the easier fixture of the two. Hope he can get a goal and assist and that would be a good TC.
      Just gutted I got Alli on the bench!!!
