We can reveal that Mark Sutherns has played his Wildcard for Gameweek 3 of the 2018/19 Fantasy Premier League season.

Joe spoke to him in the latest episode of ScoutCast Extra Time on Friday afternoon to find out his reasons for hitting the button and making a raft of changes.

You can watch that video below or on our YouTube channel.

Mark explained that a lot of his decision revolved around how volatile the transfer market has been since Sergio Aguero‘s (£11.2m) hat-trick in Gameweek 2.

With managers all over the world chopping and changing Mark was faced with a situation where several of his original assets were facing price falls, and those he wanted to replace them with were going in the opposite direction.

Joe made the case for sticking with Mark’s original Gameweek 2 team but it will definitely be an all-new line-up in Gameweek 3.

In our latest edition of ScoutCast Extra Time, Mark takes us through two different teams he is considering before Saturday’s 11:30am deadline – one with Eden Hazard (£10.5m) and one without.

    Doing Salah triple captain today. I felt underwhelmed by last year's dgw options and them not playing both games. Ridiculously short odds on Ladbrokes for him to score and Liverpool are even money to get 3 or more.

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Despite the fixture I think that’s brave. Best of luck. Hope it works as he’s my captain.

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Probably best fixture for it, Liverpool utterly violated Brighton last season

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Fair point. I have an eye on Aguero at home to Newcastle in a couple of GWs time.

        1. JayJ
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Why Salah and not Mané?

  2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    As a Robertson owner I am still not really convinded that he is worth 1M more than Alexander-Arnold.

    What are you folks thoughts about this? I know most people have Robertson aswell as me but I'd like to hear how you are arguing.

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Clyne is a good player & will see gametime… more so than moreno imo

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        That is the reason for me too. Still not sure it's worth 1M.

    2. MTPockets
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Last 2 articles here have a good approach to it - no real answer yet though:
      http://www.plfantasy.com/

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Thanx!

    3. MillsAU
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      As a TAA owner on the WC, I'm thinking about getting rid of him for Pereira or Chillwell since TAA is hard to play in 4 of the next 6 if you want a CS. Robbo is at least a better shot of attacking returns.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I'm not so sure he is a better pick for attacking returns. I mean TAA is on corners and FK's

      2. MTPockets
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Same. Don't want to spend 6m on Robertson/VVD given the fixtures, so shouldn't really spend 5m either. Just worried about getting it wrong and liv def ownership.

    4. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Me too. Might switch to TAA soon to free up some funds but worried about rotation

    5. Boglander
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      So far he is. An assist and bonus points each game as compared to TAA's two yellow cards and multiple wayward crosses. Maybe he won't be later in the season, but anyone claiming to have a clue one way or the other at this stage is bullshitting.

  3. MillsAU
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Would you rather Pereira, Chillwell or TAA in your team going forward (assuming all at 5.0)? I'm leaning against TAA with the draw.

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Pereira is an interesting one for me - bought him in this week.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I guess it kind of depends on the rest of your squad but I've gone for Pereira

    3. Boglander
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Also Pereira

  4. Boglander
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    No response, trying again.

    Bench one of
    A) King
    B) Ings
    C) Pereira (Lei).

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Ings. Just.

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      C

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Ha yes this makes sense. I still had the fact I’d just bought Pereira in on my mind. The least attacking of the 3 is the right way to go about it.

        1. Boglander
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah, you'd expect attacking returns to be more likely from the forwards, but King has nothing yet and is apparently playing relatively deep, not getting many opportunities. Pereira has attacking returns in each of the last two, and could potentially be played OOP on the wing again. Plus bookies aren't rating Leicester's chances of a clean sheet as much lower than either King or Ings scoring, so combined I think that makes him the best choice of the three.

          I'll still probably end up benching him though 🙂

    3. TorresMagic™

      7 years, 11 months ago

      What score Leicester vs S'ton? There's your answer.

      1. Boglander
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Southampton are at home, and Ings has been looking very dangerous. However Leicester are a better team and have started well. However Leicester's away record last season was poor, three clean sheets I think. So I've no idea how it'll go. What do you reckon?

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Pereira can't keep getting attacking returns. You either bet on S'ton to score or not.

          1. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            I think that he will get attacking returns occasionally throughout the season. His initial rate though will not be sustained.

            1. Boglander
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Yeah, that's what you'd expect - same goes for all the attacking full-backs, none of them will sustain their initial rates consistently. If you don't play them consistently though, you'll probably miss the returns when they come. I'm rocking an Alonso-Robertson-Mendy-Pereira-WB backline at the moment and intend to usually play 4 or 5 atb. Think I've been convinced to go 3 this week though.

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Think it has to be C

  5. Azathoth
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Who to play : Hamer or Hennessey?

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hamer. If he’s dropped you have good cover.

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      henny

    3. QuintonFortune25
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Hamer. Cardiff are yet to score and Huddersfield are usually pretty solid at home.

  6. drughi
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    if mane goes up tonight i can do him to hazard for free, tempting for gw 4-7

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      If he scores points today do you really want rid?

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Even if he scores a 20pointer 😛

      2. drughi
        • 16 Years

        thats the tricky part

      What did he say, or at least about what player/team did he say it?

      1. kennethrhcp

        pool, salah, firmino, shaq & studge… pure trolling it seemed

        He's got a friend from Liverpool who's been winding him up.

          Maybe you are right, am not sure. I was thinking of captaining Mo and changed it to Pierre instead! I am not sure if it’s a prank or it is going to come true!

  8. QuintonFortune25

    Would you play Jota (CITY) or Cairney (BURNLEY) this week?

    1. Mauricios Cappuccino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Cairney

    2. Stockport Hatter

    How do you think Man City will line up?

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Differently. Again!

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        BSilva to start?

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I think he will.

        2. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          We'd all like to know this one

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      A gk, some defenders, some midfielders and probably 1 or 2 forwards

      1. Jafooli
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Wise words from an FPL Expert 😀

    3. Lecky Legs FC

      Ederson
      Walker
      Mendy

      1. Jafooli

        No BSilva 😮

        1. Lecky Legs FC
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Think Bilva will be dropped personally

          1. Tommytour
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            I would pick the same line up

    4. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Actually reckon Sane might get a start, he looked pretty lively last game when he came on.

    5. Waltomade
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      With Jesus up top

    6. QuintonFortune25
      • 10 Years

      Ederson
      Walker Stones Kompany Mendy
      Fernandinho
      Mahrez D.Silva Gundogun Sterling

      1. datamunkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This; not sure we will see Sane & Mendy in the same team yet

    7. ☈☾
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      same as GW1 but with Jesus upfront

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        He won’t rotate Aguero yet.

    8. datamunkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      With Benjikun Menguero smashing it once again 😉

  10. Gianfranco Zola
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Worth taking a hit to replace Shaw?

    Robo, Mendy, Shaw (Peltier, W-B)

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Not for a hit.

  11. Lecky Legs FC
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Best £6m midfielder for -4 hit?

    A) Ritchie

    B) Doucoure

    1. Mauricios Cappuccino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Oh god, do you have to? Go Fraser at 5.5, but reluctant to do that for a hit!

      1. Lecky Legs FC
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I already have King as BOU cover any other £5.5 options is Iwobi a good enough option?

        1. QuintonFortune25
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Hughes?

    2. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Neither of those for a hit

  12. Tommytour
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    What was the deleted tweet?

    1. Brehmeren
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      There was no tweet. Just a guy saying that Firmino and Salah wont start.

      1. Tommytour

    2. The Pesci challenge

      • 12 Years

      Some guy say he has a Liverpool friend (we all have one, there plenty of them) saying he reckons Firmino and Salah are getting benched.

    if I get info on here and it turns out to be false, I only have myself to blame as no one forced me to use that piece of info. Mods need to chill and let us make an assessment by our own selves.

    1. Tommytour
      • 15 Years

      What was the info?

    2. TorresMagic™

      1. Feloh
        • 9 Years

        you could have at least let him link up the Twitter account so that we could verify for ourselves.

        1. Brehmeren
          • 16 Years

      The site obviously wants to stay credible. Read the tabloids for speculation etc.

      1. Feloh
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        if he linked up the tweet then the blame wouldn't be on FFS in case the info was false.

        1. Brehmeren

          But he didnt!?

    5. Warblers
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Violently disagree. I am thankful that the mods have the good sense to keep the patently ridiculous and, as in this case, childish efforts to get attention out of here so the rest of us can have reasonably decent discussion and share thoughtful insight.

      You want rumors? Go to the gossips section of the tabloids.

      2. Feloh
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        same was said for an field express when it started out. Powell, the guy who leaked Chelsea's the sheets in advance was written off as a fraud and a gossiper, yet in both these instances they turned out to be correct.

        1. Warblers
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          BS. The idiot original poster should have included a link, not simply rely on "my Liverpool friend." C'mon man, use your noodle.

    6. fedolefan

      So you want these boards to be full of random garbage fake news and it's up to the community to decide for themselves which one is true and which one isn't? You don't deserve the benefit of doubt just because you post some crap. Back it up with a source the first time round or prove your credibility by getting it right 2-3 times in a row and then you shall be believed.
