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, 6 months ago

      Elbow drop maybe

  3. bobbysmith76
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      Yes

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

      Guess this will be the trend

  4. boc610
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

      u joking?

    2. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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, 6 months 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, 6 months ago

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

  5. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Do we think Ibra will be band then?

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      banned

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

      Probably

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

      Kinda depends what he does in 28/29

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

        ik, but hypothetically? Say he gets 12 and 6

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

          Keep probably in that case.

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

      Expect i will keep

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

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

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

        simple FT of Lukaku to Gabs tho?

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

      no

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

        any reason why?

        1. MTPockets
          9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

        thinking along the same lines

  7. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    A or B?

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

    1. WVA
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months 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™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Already on for Ibra.

    4. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Must get him in tonight then.

  9. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

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

    Yay or Nay?

    Other strikers are Aguero and Lukaku

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

      Yep

      1. Prison Mike

    3. Pep says
      • 11 Years

  12. simvik91
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Looks like Llorente will have a price rice tonight. Aguero -> Llorente a good swap then I guess?

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

      Yeah seems to be the move of the day

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

    11 in for next week..

    Boruc
    Baines Coleman McAuley Mee

    Pickford Aguero Alli Alonso

    1. Stupendous

    2. TorresMagic™

  14. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Stoke's fixtures getting trickier, shall I do Grant to Jak? Pickford other keeper.

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

      Helps with 28 at least.

    2. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      Pickford will get save points I wouldn't bother

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

        Not in 28.

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

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

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

    Lukaku, Llorente, Anichebe too light for next week?

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

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

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

        Yep, but is Kane the man to choose week after

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

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

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

    Ibra to Llorente before rise?

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

      Just did that

      1. MTPockets
        9 years, 6 months ago

        ditto

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

    How does this look for next week?

    Jaku
    Baines Coleman Brunt

    Coutinho Siggy Firmino Mane (C)

    Lukaku Llorente Barnes?

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

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

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

      Beastly triple up on Liverpool mids

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

        love at good triple up

    3. MTPockets
      9 years, 6 months ago

      A bit hopeful for gw29?

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

      Wow you got XI playing ah

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

    What Leicester players are people looking at now that they're back in the goals?

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

      Fuchs

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

      None

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

      Vardy

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

      Schmeichel

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

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

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

    Good for a hit?

    Azpi to Mawson
    Sterling to snoddy

  21. FirminoIsBetterThanYou
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months 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.

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

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

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

        Cheers!

  22. Ridcully
    • 9 Years

    Bonus points have been added.

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

      Agüero got one bonus point.

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 6 months ago

        I got 3 for him.

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

        No more than he deserved tbh

  23. mir
    • 17 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Bonus added. As expected.

  24. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Bonus given. 3 + 1 (x3) here

  25. The Big Fella
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    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.

  26. lasmons
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    60 points with Costa, Alonso, Carroll, Pieters, Silva, Sterling and Kun(TC) left.
    Have to be my first green arrow in weeks!

    1. Uncle Gamst
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 6 months ago

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

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

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

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

      might still be the wrong decision 😉

  28. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    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?

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

      Now's primtime to ditch Amat and Capoue

  29. 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.

  30. PvA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 6 months ago

    Is Ibra going to get a ban or what?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      9 years, 6 months ago

      Patients young McGregor. We'll know by midweek
