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.

    Wildcarders - No love for Bellerin/Monreal over here?

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Arsenal’s defence is to be avoided until we seen some defensive resolve they look disjointed so far cech looks poor, sokratis old and can be got at and Bellerin has no defensive ability only agility;)

    2. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I’m surprised Arsenal defenders have been overlooked... they might become great value now their horrible opening fixtures are out the way!

    3. noahzark22
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I need to see them defend before I select them

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think they are potentially decent options - problem is no room for a 5.5 in a lot of teams when the template is Robertson, Mendy + Alonso. Could be worth swapping Robertson out for one of them in a few GWs when Liverpools fixtures turn.

    5. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      In short- no.

  2. tabby98
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Will Pedro start?

    1. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Essential

  3. Agger
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Have you seen him play this season?

      1. Agger
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months 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
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months 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
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            No risk no reward my son

        2. Naboo
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

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

          1. Agger
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

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

            1. Naboo
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 3 months ago

              If he keeps his place (likely but not certain)

    2. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Do you really like football?

    3. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Agger
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Ha!

    4. Dank Squid
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months 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
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

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

  4. mosmof
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Fabianski or Ryan? Or does it matter?

  5. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I bought Mane for -4 this GW

      Make of that what you will

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Damn lol

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mane is awesome.

    3. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

  6. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months 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
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

      1. Davemc23
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        B with guendouzi

  7. F_Ivanovic
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    bottomed...

    Pick 2 to play out of these please?

    Sane
    Lacazette
    Arnie
    PVA
    Maddison

    1. Roosey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months 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
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Lacazette & Maddison

    3. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

  8. Roosey
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months 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
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I like B but Ings over zaha

  9. bitars
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Roosey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pereira

  10. aussiepundit
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months 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 ⭐
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      no salah is interesting but I like the kane pick

      1. aussiepundit
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months 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
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      How did you exactly work this out?

      1. aussiepundit
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Largely around team value and price rises.

        1. La Roja
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

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

          1. aussiepundit
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 3 months 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
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. aussiepundit
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He did - Ederson, Cook, Alonso & Mkhi

    4. Dr. Rog
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

    5. korbendallas82
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      He is on wild card.

  11. Teahupo'o
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months 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

        Cheers 🙂

  12. Mr Dave
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months 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
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

  13. enrico.palazzo
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months 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

      7 years, 3 months ago

      No Mane! Ouch.

    2. bitars
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Week bench and goalkeepers, besides that, good team.

      1. bitars
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        *weak

    3. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cheers lads.

      No mane indeed, but everyone else is firing

  14. Liastro ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this?

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

    1. enrico.palazzo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Good imo

      1. Davemc23
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Do it

  15. WannabeScout
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    G2G?

    Mccarthy
    Mendy Alonso VVD
    Dilva Mane Mhiki Richarlison Milner
    Auba Kun

    Hennessy Hobleas Kamara AWB

  16. Pea Soup
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. semiconductor
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      but I think both fixtures are good for bilva and ake

      1. Pea Soup
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah but it’s Alonsooooo

  17. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months 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
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      whats your team like??

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. DeadStarComing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months 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
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

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

        1. DeadStarComing
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

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

          1. Richd
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 3 months 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
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 3 months 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

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

    On a WC:

    1. Pedro, Kamara, R.Bennett (last 2 for bench)

    4. Marvin.
      • 9 Years

      No Chance. None.

      1. Pea Soup
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Of course there’s a chance

    5. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Vamos Los Celeste
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I have Bissaka & Peltier

    6. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Zero

  20. Danno - Emre Canada
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Pea Soup
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      So will a Cech and Fabianski brace!

      1. barracuda
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

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

      2. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Still people wouldnt buy!

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Danno - Emre Canada
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

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

    3. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

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

    For anybody who heard the scoutcast,

    What's Mark's plan to get Auba?

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months 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.

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

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Might as well sell DDG

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months 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
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months 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.

    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
      • 9 Years

      Where on earth did you hear about robbo notnolaying lol

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        This.

        Completely baffling

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months 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.
