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.

    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
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Should have 15+ in total imo

  3. Weasel Boy

    Hope Kun starts vs Stoke

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      don't see why not?

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

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

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

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

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

        They not playing boro

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

          FA cup match after Stoke.

    3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kelchi not started for ages. Sane will be hopefully

  4. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

      exactly, goal was quite lucky as well

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      yeah but it's aguero

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

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

  5. AA33
    9 years, 6 months 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 😎

  6. A Betting Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

  7. Duffy Dunk
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

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

    3. Webbinho
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Odikostar
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        ^

    4. Duffy Dunk

      Nice
      Thank you 🙂

    5. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      yes, it's the squad for the gameweek.

    6. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  8. Viper
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      You will. Exact same four here and tç

  9. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

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

    2. Odikostar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't be too happy

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

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

      IN
      Sterling - 6
      Siggy - 5
      Kun TC - 21

      ????

      PROFIT

    Started today at 26k

    44 points today. ..15k possible?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      nope

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      try fantasy football fix

  12. Numb
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

      Not whne it comes to Lukaku scoring

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

        True

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

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

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

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

  14. Make United Great Again
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    3 bonus for Kun?

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

      2 at the absolute most.

      1 the most likely

    2. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      1 atm

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      will be 1

    4. Vague88
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      If you have TC on him.

  15. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

      Aguero looked even more disappointed tbh

    2. fedolefan
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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.

  16. Baked baines
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months 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.

  17. Qubit
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

  18. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

  19. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    baps adjusted slightly

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

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Kolarov 43
      Sane 38
      Aguero 33
      Cabellero 31

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

        Aguero 1 max then

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

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

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

    Sell Sterling or Sane?

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Stirling

  21. GGMU11
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

  22. Begbie.
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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 ⭐
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

      You watch out for him against stoke mate.

  23. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Had TC armand on Caroll last season.

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

    1. EDEN THE MAN
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I TC DeBruyne last season and he got 1 assist.

  24. Ridcully

    Updated bonus points:

    Kolarov— 43
    Sané— 38

  25. Shawcus
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    85(-4) with alonso aguero(TC) sterling and grant still to come. Absolutely delighted, hopeful to break the 100 point mark this week. Sorry for the brag, but I really am delighted!!

  26. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years

    Congrats to Sané(TC)

    1. EDEN THE MAN

      Did U?!

      1. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        No, I have Sterling(C)

        But I know some did Sané(TC)

        I will play (TC) on Sanchez or Kane DGW

  27. I Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Providing Big Andy is fit who would you prefer for the next two?

    A) Carroll (bou, LEI)
    B) Llorente (hul, bou)

    1. Speédy
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Andy

    2. Alexis Nonsense
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Llorente

      Is on fire, as is Siggy

  28. AA33

    Aguero's winning goal bonus yet to be added, right?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 17 Years

      Close to final now.

      1. Jethrik
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. ***00tennis***
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Perfect sense if you think about it logically>>

          1-0 Aguero winning goal bonus if SUN don't score

    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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Wait on news on Ibra

      1. Jam0sh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months 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

  30. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

      that was offside tbh. Sterling went for the ball
