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.

    Play Daniels Or Tomkins?

    1. mir
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Tomkins for me

    2. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Tomkins just a gut feel

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Either

    4. Bragazeti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Tomkins

    5. ted mcnure
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      fwiw it could be Daniels last game before Rico is available-
      cue testimonial hattrick, or red card..

  2. mir
    • 17 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Allison and 4.0 keeper, Fraser and Auba

    Or

    2 rotating 4.5 keepers (Not sure who), Mane and Zaha

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Tough I do prefer 2x4.5m keeper rotation I feel as a strategy it has a higher success rate over last 10 years of FPL... For every de gea season there is a foster or Heaton season

      1. mir
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Cheers. Not sure which combination. I'm thinking palace and Southampton.

    2. Chilli Heatwave
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      B

      1. mir
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Yeah looks like going that way but as on wildcard something is telling me get players (or a player) not many have yet.. I.e Auba.

  3. Erez Avni
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    whats about Cheh? is he naled or Leno is a risk?

  4. Skalla
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Looks like Ings will go up with Mendy&Pereira tonight and Sane might drop again.

    1. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Double rise for me fingers crossed

    2. Bragazeti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      The love that Sane had before the season began was immense

  5. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    I know its early days but thought on the following moves for a a (-4) in GW5

    Firmino+ King+ Hughes -> Zaha + Kamara + Hazard

    Leaves me with the following for GW5

    Foster
    Mendy Azpilicueta Robertson
    B.Silva Richarlison Mkhitaryan Hazard Mane
    Aguero Zaha

    Patricio Tomkins Wan- Bissaka Kamara

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Ooof, let's get gw3 done 1st eh

    Pep talking up Sane but also making it impossible to predict who will play tomorrow....

    1. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      He won’t challenge Mendy. Watching that programme on Amazon Pep’s whole strategy seemed to be based on how Mendy plays.

      Sane/Sterling/Mahrez seem to be the left side forward rotation pairing maybe. But not sure how that fits with Jesus and Kun both on the pitch. Both Mahrez and Sterling could rotate with Silva on the right maybe?

  7. Somar
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    A credible Man City source predicts Sane returns to the squad against Wolves and B.Silva is dropped.

      name said sauce

        1. Khark
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          Haha

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      And this is why we hate citeh milfs atm

      1. barracuda
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Are you soaked Mr? 😀

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          Nah just swigging away, you? hic! 😆

          1. barracuda
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 2 days ago

            I like to reach the target as often as possible 🙂 .... top 10k...Ah, what was the question again? 😀

            1. Netley Lucas
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 2 days ago

              That's the spirit! 😆

              1. barracuda
                • 9 Years
                8 years, 2 days ago

                😀 the nightcap is looming

    3. n-doggg
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Not surprised about sane. Slightly more surprised about bsilva. Although just done him to Mkhi so...

    4. DJDave1979
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Won't really surprise me whenever anyone is benched by Pep. His squad is insanely strong.

    5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Remember you're a Womble and clunk click every Trip.

    6. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Who said it tho? Sane plays left, Silva plays middle or right. Can't see how it works. Unless Sterling goes RWB or CAM

      1. Somar
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Aguero flanked by Sane and Mahrez or Sterling .Silva Ilkay and Fernandinho in the middle

    7. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Source? Hp or brown

    8. Richd
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Not too late to wildcard lads

      1. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        not even close to considering

    9. MTPockets
      8 years, 2 days ago

      They probably just watched the released embargoed part of the press conference that talked about him:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xioN9sP_VqY

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Its an educated guess, nothing more

        1. DJDave1979
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          True but it is also a reminder just how unsure we are that anyone plays for City. Walker being benched really surprised me last week. I think I will go for Ederson after WC.

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 2 days ago

            Be like this every week 😆 Only Ederson safe

      2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Ta. But it is just someone's opinion

      3. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        so an opinion piece rather than a source - filed under J for Jamie Jackson

        1. I Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          8/11 starters correct and a completely different formation. It's clear they're just guessing.

    10. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      back to 4-3-3?

    11. Bragazeti
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Link?

    12. Somar
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Read my post again folks. I said " predicting". Not "will".

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        You said "source" which is wrong

        1. I Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          Exactly. There's no source. It's some guy giving his predicted lineup. I could've written that article, wouldn't make me a credible source. I thought people would've learned from the Aguero story last week.

      2. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        you can’t throw credible source in there though...

    13. I Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      A credible source? Reading the article he's clearly guessing.

  8. Flaps

    Marks alive then

    1. Flaps

    3. Richd

      Damn the original flaps

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

    5. Somar

      8 years, 2 days ago

      Someone link me his profile

  9. Bring the Cavalry
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Chances of Kamara starting v Burnley? Or is it back to the bench for him?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Shirley maybe back so 50/50 I guess?

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      He’ll be benched

    3. Bring the Cavalry
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Yeah thought he might be benched, Cedric it is then. Cheers

  10. Giles G
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Is Mitro worth the extra 1 mil over Ings???

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      yes

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Yes

    3. Kryten
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Possibly question is Zaha and Arnie worth..5m over mitro

      1. Giles G
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Zaha yes probably but haven't got it so oh well

    4. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Yes, Soton are awful.

      1. Giles G
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        good point. forgot about that

  11. Thomas M.
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    BSilva for Miki for a hit?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Definitely not

    2. Essem
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I’m not even considering doing it for free.

    3. Giles G
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      nah

    4. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Nope noob

  12. barracuda
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Fellas, is New Zealand worth travelling so many miles, hours, bottles to be downed on a plane? Something tells me I should go there one day. I am getting too old too fast so need to decide. Molto gentile

    1. Rostah
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Lived there for a few years, little slice of heaven over there, do it!

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS

      Admin is Zio. controlled __Head to the tribes off the beaten tourist routes.

      Amazing country.

    3. barracuda
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Oooh. It is just so far...I presume both islands got something specific and genuine to offer. Shame the summers are not a bit warmer, I am cold beer..ehm..Cold blooded 🙂 The nature looks incredibly surreal and the lambs and wine are so tasty here in UK.

  13. ididnt
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Someone talk me out of Tomkins > Alonso and Bilva > Mkhitaryan for -8

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Not worth -8 at all

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      It’s -8 hit, think about it

    3. Giles G
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      yeah it's a shite move

      1. ididnt
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Fair. Which one for a -4 then?

    4. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Stop drinking.

    5. MTPockets
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Put your id into gargatron.com and see what -8pts amounts to in rank difference.

  14. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Quite surprised Robertson hasn’t risen yet

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Arguably the best defender who can attack, problem is the field of good returns in that 6-6.5 market has turned heads and TAA splits his market too

  15. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Only concern I have in getting Ings is that if unfortunate enough to get an injury who else is there in that price range- either Jimenez or go 2 up front with Kamara as third striker

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      That and Soton are horrendous.

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I’m contemplating whether to go Ings & mkhi but because of Ings I’m thinking if Ings doesn’t do the business the where do you go with Ings. It could mean Jimenez or Joselu when fixtures change but I’m still sitting on the fence with Ings

  16. The Pesci challenge
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Mkhitaryan & Ings
    Or
    Zaha & Fraser?

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Zaha and Fraser definitely

      1. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Ok nice one, currently on this

  17. Cebolinha
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Play De Gea vs Spurs or Hamer vs Cardiff?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      DDG

    2. rambo.
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      De gea

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Hamer

  18. pstokes2010
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    How does this team look -4? I have 2.3m in the bank. Plan to get rid of Jorginho next week.

    Pickford

    Mendy Alonso VVD

    Hazard Mane(c) Jorginho Richarlison

    Aguero Arnie Mitrovic

    Speroni Neves Duffy Wilson

    1. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      You sold Salah for a hit? Assume Mane & Haz were the ones to come in?

      1. pstokes2010
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        No Richarlison and Hazard for Sane and Erikson. Don’t fancy so much funds on Salah yet

        1. Lazarus Star
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          Assuned the 2.3 itb was from a Salah edit.

  19. milanista10
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    On WC:

    A) Robertson, Mane, Zaha
    B) TAA, Pedro, Aubameyang

    A or B lads?

    1. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      A for me

  20. yer old da
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Best midfielder for 6.8 or less?

    1. yer old da
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Already have Richarlison

    2. Galza
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Pedro or Maddison

      1. yer old da
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Not Fraser?

        1. Galza
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          He’s a good cheaper option.

    3. Numb
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Walcott maybe?

    4. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Based on from you could go with Pedro, Maddison, Sessengnon, Fraser or Preyera.

      Maddison looks like a good punt.
      Pedro gives you Chelsea cover....and instant trolling.

      1. Lazarus Star
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        *form

    5. yakirh
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Pedro

  21. TOBY1
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    If Sane returns quite possible Mendy is rested or doesn’t start... it didn’t seem to work that well when they played together - unless same goes over to the other side which we haven’t seen too much.

    1. Ninjaa
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Can't see mendy not starting either way

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Not true. Mendy plays very wide which allows sane to play more narrow and gives more space to Mendy to send in crosses.

      1. TOBY1
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        When sane came on with Mendy on pitch in last game - it really didn’t work that great. Sane ended up going over to the right

    On WC: Which team looks to be the better option? With two 4.0 defenders I can squeeze in Pedro in the midfield, along with Salah, Mkhi and Richarlison:

    Foster (Fabianski)
    Robertson - Mendy - Alonso - PvA (Wan-Bissaka)
    Fraser - Mkhitaryan - Richarlison - Salah (4.5)
    Aubameyang - Agüero (Kamara)

    Foster (Fabianski)
    Robertson - Mendy - Alonso - PELTIER (Wan-Bissaka)
    PEDRO - Mkhitaryan - Richarlison - Salah (4.5)
    Aubameyang - Agüero (Kamara)

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years

      Definitely the first one.
      Playing Peltier/4.5/Kamara seems like a bad idea

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        You would of course play AWB after his ban for the next weeks.
        Nah still A for me

        1. TAT
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          That was my thought, yes; AWB most weeks. Guess Fraser is good enough value to make me choose between Pedro and Mkhi.

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Your mids/fwds only setup for A, unless risking Peltier/Kamara/4.5 this week and Peltier/AWB/Kamara every week.

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        That was the idea; playing either Peltier/4.5 this week - and WB most weeks after the ban.
