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.

    Aguero TC's chillax! Its not even the end of the 1st half of the 1st match!

    1. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

    2. rivercityransom

      might not start against stoke

    Thing about a lower quality team matching a higher quality team is it usually takes a disproportionate amount of energy.

    I mean, they make up what they lack in quality with effort.

    That's usually good enough for a while, but not long. I'd be surprised if they can maintain.

    City to score 3.

    1. Shultan
      • 10 Years

      They'll get tired in the 2nd half...too many people on here panicking so quickly into the match

      "The pleasure of rooting for Goliath is that you expect to win. The pleasure of rooting for David is that, while you don't know what to expect, you stand at least a chance of being inspired''

      The longer this wears on the more Sunderland's fans will be up for it --> players will be more confident... please score before half time City! 😀

      1. James101
        • 12 Years

        Thing is David was a more mobile (lighter) guy who was armed with a projectile weapon.

        Goliath was totally (literally) outgunned. He had no chance unless they were fighting in a phone box.

        Never got why that wasn't obvious to people.

      2. Qubit

    Aguero anxiety aside, Niall Quinn is the pits

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      Quinn is the last voice you would want to here if you have butterflies in your little tummy.

      • 14 Years
      9 years, 1 month ago

    2. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

  15. Somalion

    Someone needs to remind City what the offside rule is.

  16. Game of Throw_ins

    Any chance I'm going to make up the Kane points? It never felt right selling a player in blistering form.

    Did this last year, sold Tottenham assets for DGW assets and got spanked when they ran riot at Stoke. Never learn.

    2. FPL_Hazards

      Try selling both alli and kane last week. 5 goals and 2 assists

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
