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

      Usually when we reference that game we're clutching at straws

  15. Stupendous

    Can I turn back the clock and bring in Kane, save my triple captain, and just captain Kane?

  23. Lizard Lips

    0-0 FT. Almost didn't bother watching it. Wish I trusted my gut more, sensed Aguero failure. Actually think City sneek a 1-0, Sane assist Sterling goal.

  24. Rainer

    Sunderland players definitely have Kane(c) and no Aguero.

    When you bench your best player De Bruyne, thats when you belong in a mental hospital.

    @ lawro

    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.
