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

    Aguero captain looks bad all of a sudden

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

      He's played about a ninth of his possible gameweek time.

    2. fiveyears

      To be fair if there's a team who could bring about a big loss despite looking decent its Sunderland.

      Even some kind of return + bonus from Kun gives hope for Weds

  14. Game of Throw_ins
    • 10 Years

    A Sunderland goal is reqd for City to wake up

    1. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      10 other players plus Harry Kane for me.

  16. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos

    Triple gone with the wind........

  17. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Knew my gut instinct was right, Kun was a bad TC choice. Gut instinct almost always beats logic.

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      It's only 20 minutes into the game.

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

      20mins in

    3. FALCAO & MOU
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      My gut was the opposite. I think I should take your gut out.

    4. Give Me the Mane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Okay

    5. vardys party
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Haha, still a long time to go

    6. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Sure the only logical conclusion was to TC Kun. There was never any doubt. No logical reasons not to. Sure.

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

    Defoe from GW29 onwards anyone? Fixtures are certainly welcoming

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

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

        True. GW28 or 29 to bring him in?

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

          Im thinking after spurs match. GW29 striker line up thinking lukaku/kane/costa then sell luk for gabbiadinni

    2. walkman666

      I've still got him. Annoyed at that post. He's a steady affordable third forward.

  21. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Leroy's the only lively one so far

  22. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Pass the damn ball Sane

  23. Shultan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Did defoe & lukaku to aguero & crouch for a hit...so put a bet on defoe first scorer after lukaku scored in the earlier game

  24. Mark-O
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Triple captain is for Sanchez and I own Kun too

  25. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 1 month ago

    Haven't seen Sunderland this pumped all season.

  26. fedolefan

      Half the world's population are below average intelligence...

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

      Careful about suggesting that there are idiots on here. You could become invisible for a while.

    5. Lawrø

      0%?

  29. Lav

    No worries Aguero will put 4 past Stoke.
