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.

    Worth a -4 to get in any of?

    Firm / Couts for Sterling
    Llorente for Carroll

    (Already have Mane & Siggy)

  2. Mic

    Ibra dropping tonight?

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

      Elbow drop maybe

  3. bobbysmith76
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Aguero and Sterling > Llorente + Mane (-4)?

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

      Yes

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

      Guess this will be the trend

  4. boc610

    so far TC kun not a complete waste ...but near enough to it .

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

      u joking?

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Only half time and he scored, chill! I'd be more worried if he had no extra points at all. Other DGWs don't look that attractive.

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

      We'll only know this after Wednesday. As it stands would rather have 14 points and my TC chip than 21 without.

    4. matiakez
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Try using it on Carroll last year - that was a waste.

  5. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think Ibra will be band then?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      banned

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

      Probably

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

    People keeping Lukaku after Hull in 29? Juicy fixtures in 32 and 33 might make me want to keep him but idk

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

      Kinda depends what he does in 28/29

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

        ik, but hypothetically? Say he gets 12 and 6

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

          Keep probably in that case.

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

      Expect i will keep

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

      Will be preparing for dgw34, which he won't feature in

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

        simple FT of Lukaku to Gabs tho?

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

          You'll likely need funds itb before that thought. Unless you plan a lot of hits in gw33.
          Lukaku to gab is the enabler

    4. MTPockets
        9 years, 1 month ago

        no

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

          any reason why?

          1. MTPockets
              9 years, 1 month ago

              Away to liv/mun, alternatives, no dgw & historic disdain.

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

          It's a good sign he scored against Spurs away. I think I hold up until the double begin. Maybe even hold through them depending on form

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

            thinking along the same lines

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

        A or B?

        A : Ibra & Phillips out Lukaku & Antonio IN? -4

        B : Ibra & De Roon out Lukaku & King IN? -4

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

          B

          • 11 Years

          • 16 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          I got him in already for Crouch no point in waiting.

          Might even take a 12 point hit like the hotshots do by the end of the week.

          1. TorresMagic™

            Where are the hotshots?

        3. MTPockets
            9 years, 1 month ago

            Already on for Ibra.

          • DA Minnion (Former great)
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

          • 10 Years
          9 years, 1 month ago

          Ibra & Sterling -> Llorente & Firmino (-4)

          Yay or Nay?

          1. WVA

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 1 month ago

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years

              • 16 Years
              9 years, 1 month ago

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

              I think the Jaku/Pickford combo is the best from here on in...want to get that in place myself (have Heaton/Pickford)

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

            Lukaku, Llorente, Anichebe too light for next week?

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

              well u have the 2 best strikers for next week, so.....

                • 10 Years
                9 years, 1 month ago

                Yep, but is Kane the man to choose week after

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

                  im getting him for Kun probably. Going Llorente Kane Kaku, looking at Llorente to Gabs in a few gws time

          4. rdamjan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years

              Jaku
              Baines Coleman Brunt

              Coutinho Siggy Firmino Mane (C)

              Lukaku Llorente Barnes?

                9 years, 1 month ago

                Excellent! I have 11 posted above but not close to as good as this. Then again I have 35m on bench

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

                  I would have loads itb with Alli Alonso Chambers on the bench. Your team looks perfectly fine as well

              2. Guvnor
                • 9 Years

                De Roon->Carroll for a hit? ... Looks like a decent hit as Carroll won't be a liability later on...

              6. The Overthinker

                9 years, 1 month ago

                Would it be worth adding a further -4 to get Llorente in for Aguero, it would mean i would have 11 not 10 players, and i was already going to do Aguero to Kane the week after, it would be Llorente to Kane now.

                  It's essentially a -2.. I'd do it!

                How many points are we on? What will the average be? I don't feel it has been a good week - Sanchez 45 mins and Ibra captain. Alonso, Grant and Sterling to play and I have 41 points.

                  63 with Alonso, Grant, Allen, Sane and Kun (TC) left. Was hoping for more TBH

                Held my nerve and kept Alli & Mane this week despite the temptation of Sane/Sterling.

                  might still be the wrong decision 😉

                Got these 6 playing next week (hopefully)
                Coleman McAuley
                Mane King Philips
                Kaku

                Got these not:
                Grant Pickford Holebas Eriksen Amat Pieters Capoue Ibra Kun

                Do Grant to Jaku and Ibra to Llorente to give me 8 playing for -4?

                  Now's primtime to ditch Amat and Capoue

                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.

                Is Ibra going to get a ban or what?
