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.

    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
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Doing Ibra to Kaku for a hit already.

        1. bitm2007
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 6 months 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
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Who is 3rd forward?

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

        Anichebe 😀

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

        After blank probably Anichebe -> Gabbiadini / Kane

  3. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

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

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

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

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Fine

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I'll take it vs earlier bricking it.

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

    4. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Second goal would have been lovely

    5. Pocky
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      happy

    7. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Decent start

    8. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      very good. my brother tced ibrahimovic

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

        😆

    9. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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.

    10. Chris_H
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Chris_H
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

            Most of my league rivals have gone Kane!

          2. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            And my head to head

    11. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  5. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    Worth the -8 ?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

    2. KUNingas
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Im thinking first two one

    3. Pocky
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Probably, yeah.

    4. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I would expect around 15 points-8 so yes.

    5. 404_FC
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      looks good

    6. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Cheers all

  6. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Average is 33.

  7. mr messi
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Coutinho or Firmino in for Eriksen? Already have Mane.

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

      Flip a coin

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

      Firm

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Coutinho due

    4. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Coutinho's turn next

    5. 404_FC
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      firmino

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

    Kun to Llorente tonight?

    1. thep025
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I did

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I am thinking of this and see no reason why not

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Probably doing Ibra > Llorente.

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

      Thinking Ibra > Llorente if he gets banned.

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

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

  9. thep025
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      starting but will be subbed early imo

    3. Vinyl78LP
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months 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

  10. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Good to be back after a day

  11. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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

  12. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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.

  13. VFORVANDETA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ibra Sterling> Llorente King/Firmino -4?

  14. Pep says
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

      Good moves

  15. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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?

  16. Partick Bateman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Heaton
    Baines Brunt Amat*
    Phillips* Coutinho Sigurdsson

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

  17. 404_FC
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      I would go -4 to get Mane and Llorente

  18. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    A) sanchezless team, 3-4 7-9

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

      definitely

  19. Budweiser
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Ibra to Llorente?

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

      Yep

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

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

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

    Sterling ➡ Coutinho for a hit?

    1. Old Wulfrunian
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      yes i think its worth

  21. The Overthinker
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

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

  22. Pep says
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

      well casuals wont be

      1. Pep says
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I mean on this forum

    2. The Overthinker
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. Pep says
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months 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
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months 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
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 6 months ago

            Jaku
            Coleman Brunt McAuley
            Coutinho Siggy Mane Carroll
            Lukaku Llorente.

            West Ham probably the only team that can sting me.

  23. TooDifficuIt
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

  24. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    If kane gets a DGW who are the likely oponents

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Palace + GW37 opponent.

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      Man U and Palace maybe

    3. Pep says
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      If he got one in 34 you'd be set

  25. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Which West Ham midfielder would you get for next week assuming all fit after Chelsea game ?

    A Antonio
    B Snodgrass
    C Lanzini

  26. Stupendous
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    When are winning goal BAPS coming???

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

      Probably added already.

      1. Stupendous
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        Hope not (Aguero TC)

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          9 years, 6 months ago

          Looks like 1 bap.

  27. GoonerByron
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    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

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

    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.

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

      It's likely however this is the fa we are talking about

      I'd wait it our

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

        Out

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

      Certain

    3. Pep says
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

  29. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      That's very good.

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

      Meant Baines instead of the second Mawson

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

    Choose one for the foreseeable future:

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