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.

    Team 1:
    Foster (Fabianski)
    Alonso Mendy TAA (S Cook,WB)
    Salah, Richarlison Pedro Fraser (Arsenal kid)
    Aguero Auba Mitrovic

    Team 2
    Ederson (Hamer)
    Alonso Mendy Robertson (Duffy WB)
    Salah Miki Hazard Richarlison Fraser
    Aguero Ings (Kamara)

    1. Amsterhammer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Team 2

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Team 1 for me

    3. Valencia137
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1

      1. Davemc23
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Team 1 but with fab > hamer, mitro > ings and Fraser > mkhi

        1. Davemc23
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Also, I would swap cook for cedric

  2. On The Up
    8 years, 1 month ago

    salah and arnie

    or

    hazard and auba?

    1. Sweetboi
      8 years, 1 month ago

      The latter imo, but as you know, not owning Salah is a huge risk.

    2. OShaughnessy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard and Auba
      Both are captain's options.

  3. yakirh
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone planning to do Salah to Hazard GW5?

    I think Mane & Robbo should be enough for GW 5-8

    1. Sweetboi
      8 years, 1 month ago

      It's a possibility for sure, gotta see how Haz/Salah are looking.

    2. I Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Rather do Mane to Hazard.

      1. yakirh
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Mane seems amazaing value
        He will probably be 10.2 by then
        I will lose so much..
        Salah to Hazard gives me 2.5M to upgrade elsewhere, that's huge!!

    3. pitstop1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Was just about to post this - I think it’s a good way to get Haz given the fixtures and Salah’s price not likely to move up much across that period.

      1. yakirh
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly.
        Also Hazard should be fully fit by then, ready to bag his hattrick vs Cardiff

        1. fantasyfog
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I think hazard will play right up top as well, instead of morata

  4. Sweetboi
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Am I right in thinking that despite their high ownership, if they score points, simply owning Mendy/Aguero/Mane/Salah etc means we get a rank increase?

    1. AriseSirGiggsy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No your not

      1. Sweetboi
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You're*

        Is the effective ownership really that high atm?

    2. Lallana_
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Captain is key IMO

      Aguero vs Salah last week swinged it a lot

    3. Gazpilicueta
      8 years, 1 month ago

      depends where you are overall, i dont think its that simple.

    4. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      that’s the opposite of what you should be thinking

      low ownership = high rank increase
      high ownership = low rank increase

      1. Sweetboi
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Of course...but I'm gonna get low ownership players for the sake of it. I have the aforementioned players, and a high rank...and I was curious.

        1. Fitzy.
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Looks like you missed a word there, hope no-one picks you up on a typing mistake...

    5. Ragabolly
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not that simple, depends on your current rank actually.

  5. Lallana_
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Pickford
    Mendy Alonso Robertson
    Fraser Pedro Salah (C) Mane Mkhitaryan
    Tosun Aguero

    When your starting XI is too similar to the Scout Picks 🙁

    Chose Tosun over Ings/Mitrovic so I hope that works out

  6. JohnnyMagrinho
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fantasy Draft Question:

    1) Sane (wol)
    2) Ings (LEI)
    3) Alli (mun)
    4) Arnie (ars)

    Start two?

    1. Ha.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      13

    2. AriseSirGiggsy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Tough call
      4321
      But luck / intuition will play a part there

  7. On The Up
    8 years, 1 month ago

    bench ings, arnie or bernado?

    1. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ings.
      Arnie will score.
      Bernardo higher ceiling, but a slightly riskier pick

    2. Sweetboi
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie

    3. AriseSirGiggsy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Arnie has highest ceiling

      1. On The Up
        8 years, 1 month ago

        currently on ings

  8. grooveymatt65
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Patricio Boruc

    Mendy Bailly Coleman Wan-B Malone

    Salah Mane Cairny Richarlison Stephens

    Aguero Zaha Firmino 

    I want to get Alonso and an Arsenal player in and realise i have abit of dross in my team. What do you guys think of the below? Thanks guys! 🙂

    1. Firmino and Coleman to Wilson and Alonso for free
    2. Firmino and Cairny to Ings and Mkhityryan for free
    3. Firmino and Zaha to Aubameyang and Ings for free
    4. Wildcard
    5. Other

    1. Jamin
      8 years, 1 month ago

      3 but getting rid of Bobby b4 the next game is v risky!

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Prefer 1. from your options.

      Don't get rid of Zaha to finance Auba.
      Don't bring in Ings _you're better off bringing in the plague.
      Do get rid of Firm_Agree. .....imo

    3. grooveymatt65
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ok thanks guys!

  9. tim
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Best MID 4.5 and best FWD for 4.5?

    Or 4.0 and 5.0...

    Cheers!

    1. AriseSirGiggsy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      How 4.0?

    2. Licious Lizard
      8 years, 1 month ago

      There aren’t any mids or forwards below 4.4m
      Kamara best forward. Mids also a bunch of 2 pointers

    3. tim
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Oh yeah, didnt even check, theres no 4.0 MIDs or FWDs, my mistake.

      1. FPL Touches
        8 years, 1 month ago

        You've been playing this game for 9 years pal 😆

  10. barracuda
    8 years, 1 month ago

    1. I Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      On the bench?

      1. AriseSirGiggsy
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Haha this

      2. barracuda
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I think Poll would be better off with him.

    2. Ha.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Imagine all the people

    3. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Imagine Suarez or Torres (im his prime) still there. Firmino who?

      1. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 1 month ago

        that year Suarez scored a hat trick every game was the most boring year of FPL i've played. everyone had him, everyone captained him. lame.

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Ok.

  11. Fantasynørden
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Bilva -> Mikhi
    or
    B) Wait and save one transfer

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

    Alonso mendy alexander (bennet.Wb)
    Mane salah fraser mkhi richarlison
    Aguero zaha (kamara)

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 1 month ago

      nice

    2. AriseSirGiggsy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Kamara gonna get regular minutes?

    3. Warby84
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Same bench but it doesn’t bother me as I’m very reliant on starting 11.. yeah I like it..

  13. The Royal Robin
    8 years, 1 month ago

    GTG?

    Ederson
    TAA Mendy Alonso
    Salah (V) Richarlison Mkhi Fraser
    Ings Kun Auba (C)

    Hamer Duffy Guendouzi AWB

    1. Fantasynørden
      8 years, 1 month ago

      GTG.

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd captain Salah

    3. I Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah good to go. Auba (c) is a risk but I'm sure you already know that.

      1. The Royal Robin
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Of course. But the potential is there. I might bottle it and go with Salah but yeah.

        1. I Member
          8 years, 1 month ago

          For sure. Auba could score huge.

    4. AriseSirGiggsy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hope the hits are worth it

      1. AriseSirGiggsy
        8 years, 1 month ago

        / WC

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes but I would be captaining Salah

  14. Jamin
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Foster
    Robo, Coleman*, Mendy
    Mane, Salah (C), Rich, Miki
    Kun, King*, Mitro
    Fab, Peltier, Neves, Wan

    Your thoughts on these ideas:
    A) King & Coleman > Ings & Alonso (-4)
    B) king > Ings
    C) save FT & review next GW, possibly drop Robo for Alonso coz of pool fix
    Cheers!!!

    1. AriseSirGiggsy
      8 years, 1 month ago

      What about king > Wilson?

      1. Jamin
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not a bad shout! It would block Coleman to Alonso & I think I’d rather hold the FT as sideways-ish

        1. AriseSirGiggsy
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah maybe
          There’s always the spectre of Defoe getting back in also

    2. mosmof
      8 years, 1 month ago

      C) save.

      Sell King next week, then Coleman after Hudd (H) for Alonso. Roll a FT for any Kane/Auba/Hazard wheeling and dealing.

  15. Boholad
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Is mané going up again in price tonight?

    1. FPL Touches
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Probably gonna go close

    2. Ha.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Nah

  16. noahzark22
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Play Gudmundson or King?

    1. OShaughnessy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Feel King has more upside

    2. Ohh1454
      8 years, 1 month ago

      KING

  17. FPL Touches

  19. ♤TeddyBear♤
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Are there any good Man City twitter pages out there that might post the line up even a couple of mins before the deadline?

    Could be handy in my decision to do Bilva > Mkhi

    1. Ramboros
      8 years, 1 month ago

      You are more likely to find the lineup posted on twitter 1 minute before the deadline than anywhere else.

      1. ♤TeddyBear♤
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cool. Hopefully can find it in time

    2. Beto Hall Tzol
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mkhitaryan scored and assisted last game. Bilva was not a key player in last game - his place is trebly under threat: from more attacking mids (Mahrez / Sane); deeper mid (Fernandinho), defender (Walker). Not a tough decision.

  20. RealRedDevil
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone want to give their thoughts on Pogba/Gross vs Guendouzi/Hazard for the next 5-6 weeks?

    1. Jamin
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Haz is the most attractive, of the 4. Mark was very keen on G...

    2. jtreble
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me: I wouldn’t trust the FPL servers to handle last minute changes like this.

  21. Gazpilicueta
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Jota and Firmino for....

    Hazard and 5.0 eg Joselu
    OR
    Mane and 6.0 eg Deeney, Ings, Ihenacho

    whadya think?

    1. Davemc23
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mane and ings for me.

    Has Mkhitaryan crept above Pedro in popularity now?

    1. ♤TeddyBear♤
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Because of fixtures swing and hazard return yes

    2. Ha.

    Bellerin or Monreal? Monreal ownership % is tempting!

  27. Davemc23
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Will auba drop tonight? Want to bring him in and captain him this gw. Anyone with me?

    1. willl
