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

    57 (-8) with Aguero (TC), Sterling, Sane, Alonso to play

    The rough being transferring Alli instead of Philips for Sane, so could have another 12 on top!

    Win some lose some, happy with the points from that game.

    As long as Kun gets 6+ vs Stoke, i'll be a happy chap

    1. Dreams
      • 9 Years

      Same here. Should have got another goal today. Unlucky.

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

        yeh, one more goal would have been an extra 18 points. Oh well

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

      Should have 15+ in total imo

  3. Weasel Boy

    Hope Kun starts vs Stoke

    1. F4L

      don't see why not?

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        becuase he played 90 and FA cup and Champions league game coming up? Pep seems to be taking FA Cup very seriously, he wont be rested for that game

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

          he wont be rested for any, he doesn't need it

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

      I think he will. Even a weak city team should be enough against Middlseborough

      Kelchi not started for ages. Sane will be hopefully

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

    All things considered, could have been a lot worse for kun tcers, just compare it to those who used in on lukaku and Andy Carroll last season.

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

      exactly, goal was quite lucky as well

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      yeah but it's aguero

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

        The guy who was benched when his owners were relying on him this season. He wasn't even guaranteed a start.

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

      There no chance Aguero can blank now, still a chance any future TC picks can.

      1. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly, I'd still like 50+ pts from him but at least worst case scenario has been avoided.

  5. AA33
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero should have scored more. Some terrible crosses from Sagna, Sterling, Clichy prevented him from scoring more. Also Sane should have passed to Aguero instead of going by himself, in second half (not the goal).

      All in all, I am a proud SAS owner with TC Aguero 😎

      37 points pre-bonus post-hits with Aguero TC, Sterling and Mane is incredibly, incredibly disappointing. Been outscored by all my Aguero-less rivals 😐

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

      It might be a stupid question but I still need to ask to avoid any stupid mistakes due to inexperience (1st season) :

      If I transfer out a double gameweek player before they play the 2nd match, he will still be in my active squad for his 2nd match, right?

      Thinking of doing Sterling->Coutinho

      Any clarification appreciated

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

        Yep. Your team that starts the gwk will finish it no matter what changes ya make

      2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Of course he still plays the second match. Treat it like any other gameweeks.

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

        Gw27 is locked. The transfers take effect from next deadline, not imneduately

      5. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        yes, it's the squad for the gameweek.

      6. Lawrø
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

    • Viper
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      74 (-4) with Grant, Alonso, Sterling & Aguero (TC).

      I'll be honest, if I don't hit 100 I'll be disappointed.

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

        You will. Exact same four here and tç

    • Danno - Emre Canada
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      So Kane and Mane to Sterling and Aguero (TC) a little but meh at the moment, what do we think?

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

        It's alright. Trust City to crush stoke. Iam pretty confident.

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

        Wouldn't be too happy

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

      Sorry if this already have been discussed.

      How much did you gain if you TC this week until now?

      For me is:

      Kane out -13
      Alli out -12
      Hit -4
      Sterlng +6
      Kun +21
      Ibra +1 (I would captain him instead)

      So now on -1, plus i will take another hit before 29 to get Alli & Kane back in. Not so good for now. I hope Kun do the job against Stoke:(

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

        Kane, Mustafi and Eriksen out = -26 - 1 - 2 - 8 = --37
        Kun, Sane, Fernandez in = 21 + 10 + 1 = +32

        So net 5 points down at this stage.

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

        I don't want to go play by play, should have just left at Lukaku 》Aguero for free.

        Lost Alli 12 for Sterling 6 -4 and another -4.*

        Although that -4 may have happened anyway.

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

        Rondon -2
        Philips 0 (but have carroll -6 first bench)
        Hit -8
        Davies 2
        Kun 21
        Ibra +1

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

        OUT
        Eriksen - 2
        Phillips - 0
        Lukaku - 6
        (Hit -8)
        = -16

        IN
        Sterling - 6
        Siggy - 5
        Kun TC - 21

        ????

    • Numb
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't be surprised if FPL somehow make Aguero equal with Sane for the 2 bonus. They tend to favour higher owned players if in doubt.

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

        Not whne it comes to Lukaku scoring

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

          True

    • Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kun wont equal Sane with just winning goal bps added right?

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

        No, they make other post match adjustments though for dispossessions, shots on or off target, etc.

    • Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      3 bonus for Kun?

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

        2 at the absolute most.

        1 the most likely

        1 atm

      3. F4L

        will be 1

      4. Vague88
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        If you have TC on him.

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

      Pep's disappointed that "we forgot to attack" in the last few minutes

      That's what you wanna hear from your manager

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

        Aguero looked even more disappointed tbh

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

        I think that's not exactly what he meant. He tried to say, they just kept control and passed the ball without attacking intent for longer than they should have. He said doing that in the last 10-15 minutes is ok, like they did against Bournemouth, but they did it longer today, pretty much after the second goal.

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

      '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!!!

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Relatively happy with 7 points against the worst team in the league??

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

          That's nuts. The opposition is irrelevant. The only relevant comparison is what others will get with the TC chip. 12-24 is the broad range of expectancy and Aguero's on track to hit that. He might even be towards the high end of it.

    • Qubit
      • 16 Years

      Ill wait until gwk28 is over before judging how things went i think

    • Foozeball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Is Sigurdsson going to rise tonight? Should I transfer him in for Sterling now?

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      baps adjusted slightly

      aguero battling for 1 bap with cabellero. Main adjustment coming later

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Kolarov 43
        Sane 38
        Aguero 33
        Cabellero 31

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

          Aguero 1 max then

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

        Hopefully the winning goal BPS hasn't been added yet.

    • Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sell Sterling or Sane?

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

        Stirling

    • GGMU11
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Think the Chelsea game could help Kun. Draw or loss for Chelsea and He will play vs stoke.

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

      As a non Aguero owner I'm relatively happy with that. Was fearing double hat tricks!

      The fact he played 90 and took a few kicks is also a bit of a relief.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, playing the worst team in the league and only 1 goal

        You got to be very happy

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

        You watch out for him against stoke mate.

    • S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years

      Had TC armand on Caroll last season.

      Won't complain about Kun (TC) now. Happy days 🙂

            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Is a winning goal bonus added when the other team don't score? Makes no sense giving it to the first scorer.

        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hello guys. Little bit of planning for GW28 already with this lot:

        Foster
        Brunt, Baines, ALONSO, Robertson
        STERLING, Sigurdsson, Mane, Antonio
        Lukaku, AGUERO

        subs: Heaton --- Clayton, Holgate, IBRAHIMOVIC --- 0.5 ITB

        A) Sterling -> Coutinho (field 9 with no hits)
        B) Sterling & Clayton -> Coutinho & T.Carroll (-4)
        C) Sterling & Ibrahimovic -> Coutinho & Llorente (-4)
        D) Something else, what?

        1. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Wait on news on Ibra

          1. Jam0sh
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I will of course do that. I'd appreciate still some comments on those possible moves. You can ignore Ibra transfer if you wish

      • Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Tbh I'm not particularly happy with Kun (TC) at the moment but it's only half way through his GW. Hopefully he gets a couple at Stoke (and the linesman doesn't make a bags of disallowing one of his legitimate assists)

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

          that was offside tbh. Sterling went for the ball
