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

    The better way to go about it.

    A:
    28: Sterling -> Carroll
    29: Phillips -> Sanchez

    B:
    28: Sterling > Coutinho
    29: Phillips, Coutinho -> Carroll, Sanchez

    So basically Cout vs Carroll + 4.

      You may be better off taking the hit this GW

      Sterling and Phillips (assuming he's not fit) to Coutinho and Carroll
      then Coutinho -> Sanchez for free next GW.

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

        Doing Ibra to Kaku for a hit already.

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          so it's either one hit this GW and one next GW, or two hit this GW and none the week after. It's works out the same and you'd have Carroll instead of Phillips who's a doubtful starter in GW28.

  2. KUNingas

    9 years, 1 month ago

    Kun + Ibra -> Lukaku + Llorente (-4)? If Ibra will get suspensed..

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

      Who is 3rd forward?

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

        Anichebe 😀

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Kun or Ibra -> Lukaku for an FT IMO

      I wouldn't want a front three of Lukaku, Llorente and Anichebe after the blank GW.

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

        After blank probably Anichebe -> Gabbiadini / Kane

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

    Worth a -4:
    Phillips & Sterling -> King & Firmino

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

      I would say yes. Reckon you cant do Sterling -> Firmino only?

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

      Think Phillips likely to be OK next week so don't rush it if I were you

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

        The only thing is Everton away is a tough fixture an WBA were woeful yesterday, and King has so much going for him

  4. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Kun[TC] people... how we feeling?

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

      Fine

    2. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        I'll take it vs earlier bricking it.

      • Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Good...but having Sane/Sterling get points too were a big part of that.

      • KUNingas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Second goal would have been lovely

      • Pocky
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        So so...we're off the mark, so that's a relief...a brace on Weds night will do the trick.

      • F4L
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        happy

      • Hooky
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Decent start

      • Jeremy Corbyn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        very good. my brother tced ibrahimovic

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

          😆

      • potatoace
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Could be a bit happier. He did his 90mins in this match. Now we need to sweat how many mins he'll get next one.

      • Chris_H
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Imagine the alternate reality where you ask how are Ibra(c) feeling...

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          True! Or the alternative reality again but with Kane(c)!

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

            Without the dgw would you have captained Kane or Ibra?

            We'd all have captained Ibra...

            1. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Most of my league rivals have gone Kane!

            2. RAFA THE GAFFA
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              And my head to head

      • RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Hopefully a couple Wed and few babs and we're laughing!

    3. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Aguero, ibra and Sterling to Lukaku, Llorente and Mane.

      Worth the -8 ?

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Id say so. All three could do well in 28.

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

        Im thinking first two one

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

        Probably, yeah.

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

        I would expect around 15 points-8 so yes.

      5. 404_FC
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        looks good

      6. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    4. Feloh
      • 9 Years

      44pts with kun(c), hazard and big Andy.........it can't get any worse.

      1. MTPockets
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Average is 33.

      2. mr messi
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 1 month ago

        Coutinho or Firmino in for Eriksen? Already have Mane.

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

          Flip a coin

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

          Firm

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

          Coutinho due

        4. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Coutinho's turn next

        5. 404_FC
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          firmino

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

        Kun to Llorente tonight?

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

          I did

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

          I am thinking of this and see no reason why not

        3. MTPockets
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Probably doing Ibra > Llorente.

          • Ravager
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Thinking Ibra > Llorente if he gets banned.

          • WVA
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I wondered why he was going to rise already! Gonna have to do the same, 3 great fixtures coming up.

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

          What do you ppl make of chances of Aguero starting against Stoke?

          1. Yank Revolution
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            No reason he doesnt start....they need wins.

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

            starting but will be subbed early imo

          3. Vinyl78LP
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Well today was his first PL start in 4 so chances are someone else is in line for bench time - KDB's turn today.

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

            A) Kun,Sterling,Eriksen->Llorente,Firmino,Coutinho-8
            B) Similar but get King instead of Cout to afford Diomande to Kane the week after...
            C) Dont do -8, max 1 hit

        5. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Good to be back after a day

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

          Sorry bottomed....

          Got 0.9 itb.

          Is there any reason for me not to kick off up to 3 transfers this week with stanislas to King tonight?

          Stanis about to drop and needs to go..

          Heaton pickford
          Alonso Coleman brunt Pieters Robertson
          Mane sterling Phillips snoddy stanis
          Kun ibra lukaku

          Thanks

        7. Old Wulfrunian
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I hope Stanislas get a start and a goal so i can regret it less that i didn't ditch him for Sane.Propably waiting for a miracle.But it's not bad to dream.

        8. VFORVANDETA
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ibra Sterling> Llorente King/Firmino -4?

        9. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ibra Kun Stan - Lukaku Llorente Mane (-8). 6 pts 'should' hopefully be a given, maybe a clean sheet pt for Mané

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

            Good moves

        10. Ravager
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Foster (Jaku)
          Funes Mori Fernandez Nyom
          Mane Sterling Phillips Stan
          Aguero Lukaku Ibra

          (Alonso Walker Allen)

          1.1 ITB 1 FT

          Sterling+ Stan > Siggy + Tom Carrol?

        11. Partick Bateman
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Heaton
          Baines Brunt Amat*
          Phillips* Coutinho Sigurdsson

          Who would you add to this for GW28?
          Lukaku & Mane (-4)

        12. 404_FC
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          for gw28

          a) play 10

          sterling to firmino

          b) play 11 (-4)

          sterling + kun to mane + Llorente

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

            I would go -4 to get Mane and Llorente

        13. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          A) sanchezless team, 3-4 7-9

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

            definitely

        14. Budweiser
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ibra to Llorente?

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

            Yep

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

              Yes....but wait for confirmation ibra is suspended surely??

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

          Sterling ➡ Coutinho for a hit?

          1. Old Wulfrunian
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            yes i think its worth

        16. The Overthinker
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          A) sanchezless team,with 3 7-9 midfielders and kane-lukaku-costa attack
          B) sanchez and 2 7-9 midfielders and 2 of lukaku -costa- Kane

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

            Sanchez for me, so consistent and i don't know how necessary owning Costa is.

        17. Pep says
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I think the fact everyone is looking at similar - 4 and -8 pt hits for next week is reason enough to pull the trigger

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

            well casuals wont be

            1. Pep says
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              I mean on this forum

          2. The Overthinker
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            I won't. This is the time to use the ft and save those 4,8 points

            1. Pep says
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Hits will effectively be halved. Bringing in Mane Kaku and Llorente for a suspended Ibra, a Kun I don't want anymore and a Stanislas that doesn't play given me 3 good chances at point returns is a no brainer really

              1. The Overthinker
                • 9 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                I agree.
                But if you are doing it to get 11 playing players, then I don't think it's a good move.
                I am pretty happy with 7-9 players

                1. Pep says
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  I'll have 10. Mane/Coutinho to Sanchez in GW29, Llorente to Gabbi (maybe) GW30. Only player I want out then is Brunt, maybe a Leicester defender.

                2. Pep says
                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 1 month ago

                  Jaku
                  Coleman Brunt McAuley
                  Coutinho Siggy Mane Carroll
                  Lukaku Llorente.

                  West Ham probably the only team that can sting me.

        18. TooDifficuIt
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          hazard to cout for -4 hit ? and i think i will do kelly to mawson now or wait ?

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 16 Years

              • 10 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Thanks TM was considering TC on kane but that looks like a crap move

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

            Man U and Palace maybe

          3. Pep says
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

            If he got one in 34 you'd be set

          Going to take a -8 for Ibra, Sane, De Roon -> Llorente, Firmino, Siggy.. Will give me the below team, does that look OK?

          Foster
          Baines - Coleman - Nyom
          Coutinho - Firmino - Siggy - Lanzini - Philips
          Llorente - Lukaku

          Heaton - Aguero - Jones - Alonso

          How likely is it that Ibra gets banned? Haven't seen the incident.

          Was going to do Kun to Llorente tonight to catch the price rise but would rather sell Ibra instead if he gets suspended.

            I'm of the opinion he'll have to be banned

          Would this be decent next week:
          Jaku/Randolph
          Mawson Coleman Brunt Mawson
          Firmino Mane(C) Siggy King
          Lukaku

            Meant Baines instead of the second Mawson

          Choose one for the foreseeable future:

          A - 3-4-3
          or
          B - 3-5-2?
