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.

    Will Pedro start?

    1. barracuda
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Essential

  2. Agger
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'm captaining Özil and he's not even on the GW3 Captain poll!

    1. F_Ivanovic
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Have you seen him play this season?

      1. Agger
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah he's looked really dangerous. Should've had a few goals and a couple assists.

        Even though people will say he's played bad. I disagree.

        1. F_Ivanovic
          8 years, 1 month ago

          To be fair I'm only going off what I have heard... they were 2 tough fixtures so maybe he finds some form. But I mean I would have to not have Salah, Mane or a better Arsenal option to consider this. How do you still have him in your team?

          1. Agger
            8 years, 1 month ago

            No risk no reward my son

        2. Naboo
          8 years, 1 month ago

          You can't be serious. Did you see the game against chelsea??

          1. Agger
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I'm being deadly serious!
            Noble and Wilshere Vs Mesut Özil.

            1. Naboo
              8 years, 1 month ago

              If he keeps his place (likely but not certain)

    2. La Roja
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Do you really like football?

    3. barracuda
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Hope he gets dropped. Not because of you- I wish you well- but he sucks ass.

      1. Agger
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Ha!

    4. Dank Squid
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I had a dream last night: Arsenal-West Ham 5-1, Özil scored twice. Just a dream, though - can't remember the last time Özil scored more than once in a game.

      1. Agger
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Dream again for me please.. make sure he gets a hattrick!!

  3. mosmof
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fabianski or Ryan? Or does it matter?

  4. #FPLBhuna
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else wildcarded and left out mane and now slightly worried or just me? Lol

    1. La Roja
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I bought Mane for -4 this GW

      Make of that what you will

      1. #FPLBhuna
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Damn lol

        1. La Roja
          8 years, 1 month ago

          That’s what WC does. Maximize your option and gives you headache afterwards

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mane is awesome.

    3. Critical Observer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He was entirely anonymous & invisible vs. the mighty Palace, far from being essential.

  5. Dr. Rog
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Hi DZ'ers

    Finishing touches to the WC team

    xxx xxx
    Alonso Mendy Taa/awb 4
    Mo Mkhi Richi Pedro xxx
    Aguero Auba Ings

    A) Foster/Patricio + Kante
    B) Ederson/Hamer + Westwood

    1. F_Ivanovic
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B

      1. Davemc23
        8 years, 1 month ago

        B with guendouzi

  6. F_Ivanovic
    8 years, 1 month ago

    bottomed...

    Pick 2 to play out of these please?

    Sane
    Lacazette
    Arnie
    PVA
    Maddison

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

      PVA Maddison for GW3. Onwards... I don't know!

      1. F_Ivanovic
        8 years, 1 month ago

        that was my initial thinking but I have a feeling Sane might finally get a start - it just kills me to play him after Pep has brought him on as a late sub twice.

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

      Lacazette & Maddison

    3. Dr. Rog
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Laca Sane
      have a gut feeling about both this week, but that wont be the concensus opinion

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

    Which would you rather? Main thing swaying me to A is Hazard and less money spread on my bench. On a WC obviously 🙂 (caps are changes)

    A) McCarthy | GUAITA
    Alonso Robertson Mendy | WanBiss BENNETT
    Mkhitaryan Salah Richarlison HAZARD | GUENDOUZI
    Aguero Mitrovic INGS

    B) Foster | McCarthy
    Alonso Robertson Mendy PEREIRA | AWB
    Mkhitaryan Salah Richarlison PEDRO | FRASER
    Aguero ZAHA Mitrovic

    1. noahzark22
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I like B but Ings over zaha

  8. bitars
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Start Shaw (Tottenham home) or Pereira (Southampton away)?

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

      Pereira

  9. aussiepundit
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Ville Ronka's team as far as I can tell...

    Ederson (5.6) | Hamer (4.0)

    Alonso (6.6) Mendy (6.2) Robertson (6.0) | Cook (4.6) AWB (4.1)

    Mkhi (7.1) Mane (9.8) Richarlison (6.8) Fraser (5.5) | Kante (5.0)

    Aguero (11.2) Kane (12.5) Ings (5.5)

    ITB 1.0

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      8 years, 1 month ago

      no salah is interesting but I like the kane pick

      1. aussiepundit
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He can always bring Salah back in with his wildcard active.

        In which case you're essentially looking at something like (remembering 1.0 ITB)

        Kane (12.5) & Mkhi (7.1) > Pedro (6.6) & Salah (13.0)

        Kane & Mkhi look the strongest no matter what combinations I look at.

    2. La Roja
      8 years, 1 month ago

      How did you exactly work this out?

      1. aussiepundit
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Largely around team value and price rises.

        1. La Roja
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Blimey. Put that effort and time to your team lad 🙂

          1. aussiepundit
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Well I'm ahead of him with relatively similar decisions to make, so I have a vested interest in what someone as well known as him does.

    3. Dr. Rog
      8 years, 1 month ago

      if he wildcarded he should have got many of those players 0.1 cheaper

      1. aussiepundit
        8 years, 1 month ago

        He did - Ederson, Cook, Alonso & Mkhi

    4. Dr. Rog
      8 years, 1 month ago

      my wildcard team is full of players I have no intention of keeping and wont switch until after tonights price rises

    5. korbendallas82
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He is on wild card.

  10. Teahupo'o
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Did Coleman Jota Tosun ➡ Alonso Mkhitaryan Ings -4 on Sunday night.

    Bench is in tatters but think I'll ride it out. G2G?

    Begovic
    Robetson Mendy Alonso
    Salah Bernardo Richarlison Mkhitaryan
    Firmino Aguero Ings

    (Patricio, Stephens AWB Peltier)
    0FT 0ITB

    1. enrico.palazzo

      1. Teahupo'o
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers 🙂

  11. Mr Dave
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A) Salah zaha TAA bennett (4.0)
    B) Kane mkhi/Keita TAA Schlupp (or other 4.5 def)
    C) auba mkhi/Keita robbo Schlupp (or other 4.5 def)
    Wc team for long haul

    1. Mr Dave
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Other option is
      Kane hazard TAA but downgrade of Ederson to Hennessey and Alonso to 4.0 def

  12. enrico.palazzo
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Team looking solid?

    Hamer (Patricio)
    Mendy - alonso - Robertson
    Salah (C) - Pedro - richarlison - maddison
    Aubameyang- Aguero- Ings

    Peltier, WBA, Hudson Odoi

    0.3 ITB 0FT

    1. Pea Soup
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No Mane! Ouch.

    2. bitars
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Week bench and goalkeepers, besides that, good team.

      1. bitars
        8 years, 1 month ago

        *weak

    3. enrico.palazzo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers lads.

      No mane indeed, but everyone else is firing

  13. Liastro ⭐️
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts on this?

    Bailly + Eriksen -> Alonso + Mkhitaryan (2FTs)

    1. enrico.palazzo
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good imo

      1. Davemc23
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Do it

  14. WannabeScout
    8 years, 1 month ago

    G2G?

    Mccarthy
    Mendy Alonso VVD
    Dilva Mane Mhiki Richarlison Milner
    Auba Kun

    Hennessy Hobleas Kamara AWB

  15. Pea Soup
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Bilva & Ake to Alonso & Pedro worth a -4?

    1. semiconductor
      8 years, 1 month ago

      but I think both fixtures are good for bilva and ake

      1. Pea Soup
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but it’s Alonsooooo

  16. Richd
    8 years, 1 month ago

    God one final WC decision. I was set with this backline

    Mendy. Alonso. TAA. PVA. AWB.

    Now thinking maybe Bellerin over PVA. Both cracking fixtures.

    1. Joyce1998
      8 years, 1 month ago

      whats your team like??

      1. Richd
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Ederson Hamer
        PVA. Mendy. TAA. Alonso. AWB.
        Salah. Mkhi. Richarlison. Kante. 4.5
        Auba Aguero Ings

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

      I don't think you need double Palace def although I understand PVA is a attacking threat. Who is your GK(s)?

      1. Richd
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Just posted above. Yeah PVA would be my attacking coverage as I can’t afford Zaha.

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

          Why not downgrade PVA to a 4.5/4 option and upgrade Ings? Zaha, Arnie, Mitrovic or Wilson all look decent.

          1. Richd
            8 years, 1 month ago

            I only prefer Zaha to Ings and I’d be 0.5 short tho! I’m a big fan having gone through Ings stats

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

              Even if you have a 4.0? I know there's only really Bennett right now but how often will you need to play them really.

    3. rjcv177
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pva. Arsenal are not good def yet...maybe in a month

      1. Davemc23
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Go with bellerin. Palace are covered by Awb. Nice team

  17. Blue Gaffer
    8 years, 1 month ago

    On a WC:

    1. Pedro, Kamara, R.Bennett (last 2 for bench)
    2. Pereira, Ings, 4.5 mid

    1. rjcv177
      8 years, 1 month ago

    3. HavertzHero

  18. Vamos Los Celeste
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Chances of TAA benched vs Brighton ?

    1. La Roja
      8 years, 1 month ago

      50-50

    2. #FPLBhuna
      8 years, 1 month ago

      40:60

    3. Pea Soup

      1. Joyce1998
        8 years, 1 month ago

        he best start hahah

    4. Marvin.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      No Chance. None.

      1. Pea Soup
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Of course there’s a chance

    5. F_Ivanovic
      8 years, 1 month ago

      If he is benched, I assume chance of sub on is slim?

      1. Vamos Los Celeste
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I have Bissaka & Peltier

    6. barracuda
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Zero

  19. Danno - Emre Canada
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Not meaning to state the obvious but a Kane and Hazard brace this weekend will make the game interesting!

    1. Pea Soup
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So will a Cech and Fabianski brace!

      1. barracuda
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Don't be like that. The man above could be on something 😉

      2. Danno - Emre Canada
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Still people wouldnt buy!

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      8 years, 1 month ago

      But then could blank the following 3-4 GW's, the joys of football

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Be good for the game. Teams very similar at the moment, a lot earlier than usual!

    3. Critical Observer
      8 years, 1 month ago

      So will Camarasa hat-trick and De Gea shipped on loan to Plymouth!

  20. rjcv177
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Fill the spot

    Mane (c), mkhy, b.silva, richarlison
    Kun, king, ______

    A) firmino
    B) auba
    C) better option ?

    Thkx in advance

    1. Pea Soup
      8 years, 1 month ago

    3. Teahupo'o
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B.

      1. rjcv177
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Also have A but 1ft and selling on gw4 anyway i might try the west ham game also 😉

      1. rjcv177

        All rather doubling on arsenal then liverpool. Food for thought in the future

    5. barracuda
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Don't C Mane is all I am going to say. I am blessed. Trust me

      1. Davemc23
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Auba

  21. Delhidynamo
    8 years, 1 month ago

    For anybody who heard the scoutcast,

    What's Mark's plan to get Auba?

    1. F_Ivanovic
      8 years, 1 month ago

      He didn't have a plan (well he didn't for Kane, not sure Auba is too different) - think only way is getting rid of Salah or Aguero.

    2. mosmof
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Free hit chip.

  22. barracuda
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Nothing like a leaky pipe.. 😉

  23. Kane Toads
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Any thoughts?

    a) PVA > Alonso
    b) Bilva > Mkhi
    c) save my FT ?

    cheers!

    How many hours until price changes?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      8 years, 1 month ago

      About an hour and half

    2. #FPLBhuna
      8 years, 1 month ago

      1 hr 21-36mins

    3. foreverton
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ty guys

  25. Kno
    8 years, 1 month ago

    this is probably silly but would you start hamer over ddg?

    1. La Roja
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Might as well sell DDG

      1. F_Ivanovic
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Why? It's like the only time you would consider Hamer when they have a plum home fixture AND United have a difficult fixture. I do think it should still be DDG, but it's close.

    2. F_Ivanovic
      8 years, 1 month ago

      been asked a million times already but no I wouldn't. Hamer is more likely to get a CS assuming he keeps his place (otherwise it doesn't matter) but I think IF DDG keeps a CS it could be a super haul with saves + bonus points.

  26. F_Ivanovic
    8 years, 1 month ago

    I'm starting to really worry about my bench this week with talks of Robertson and BSilva (not sure I believe this one but it is Pep so anything is possible) potentially not playing... only have Boly who can come on.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Where on earth did you hear about robbo notnolaying lol

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        8 years, 1 month ago

        This.

        Completely baffling

      2. F_Ivanovic
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Last year he rotated his FBs in the 3rd fixture - heard Klopp didn't rate their performance that much vs CP (although not sure that's too relevant) - think it's 90% he starts still and AA might lose his place only so probably i'm worried for no reason.

    Put Cairney Tomkins Kamara in order:

      8 years, 1 month ago

      Tomkins, Cairney, Kamara

  30. tabby98

    Captain Salah, Mane or Aguero?

    1. Marvin.
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Salah for me but I've a sneaking suspicion that Mane may outscore him.

      1. Critical Observer
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Mane was invisible last time around.

        1. Marvin.
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Could be our top scorer this year.

          1. Critical Observer
