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.

    Monreal looking like a decent option with Arsenal's fixtures?

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I'm going to wait and see how good they look defensively, but could be yes

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      He sure is 😉

    3. Typo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Yess

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        He nailed?

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Could be great. But just can't see Arsenal with a lot of clean sheets so he's not an option for me.

  2. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Is cairney on pens for Fulham?

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

      im guessing Mitro

  3. Evasivo
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    All GTG?

    Pickford
    Mendy Robertson Alonso
    Ralls Mane(vc) Salah(C) Mkhi
    King Aguero Tosun

    Stekelenburg Tomkins Peltier Stephens
    £0.5 & 0FT.

  4. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Pva or fraser?

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

      Fraser

    2. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Could easily argue a case for both, but probably give the nod to Fraser

    3. Long ball Larry
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Pva

    4. Evasivo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Have to vote for PVA, only cos I'm loyal to his league

  5. El Lobito 10
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Who will score more this season?

    A. Robertson
    B. Alonso

    1. Long ball Larry
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Robertson

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Interesting. Tough one to call.

        1. Long ball Larry
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          It’s very close. Think pool will do better defensively and edge it even if slightly less attacking returns

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

      Alonso

    3. Evasivo
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      B for me, though I have both 😉

      1. El Lobito 10
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Cheers

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Tough one. Alonso.

  6. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Joes questions to Mark are a bit pointless. "What will you do when Kane scores a hat trick?" What will we do? Wildcard? So we get Kane, we'll be leaving out another big hitter. There are too many top players this season, you can't have them all.

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Agreed

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

      Yeah. Mark made him look silly there. WC available or not, you won't be able to have Salah, Aguero, Kane and a strong supporting cast.

    3. si
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      And a captain migraine each week.

    4. Typo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Agree. kane burned us all last season x times. Salah was the deal

    5. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      It's simple, you go without Kane until Aguero gets injured. Even then, you probably go with Jesus.

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

        This

  7. SADIO SANÉ
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    looks like fplstats has given up hope ... be good if there are no risers tonight after talk of triple-risers earlier this week

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

      Looks like Mendy and maybe Pereira up tonight but drops a lot more again with Sanchez/Vardy/Jota/Doherty and a few more going down.

  8. kijsberg
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    With Lloris drink driving, is he likely to not play on monday? Considering taking a -4 to replace him with Kepa. Not really keen on Lloris anyway, not sure why I included him in my team in the first place.

    1. Chenku╰☆╮
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Doubt he plays..who knows though

    2. camarozz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Probably sobered up now after his brush with the law

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

    I started a 4-5-1 WC draft and I really like it. Before this season I knew the value was in defense/midfield like most year.

    Ederson | Hamer
    Alonso | Mendy | Robertson | PVA | Wan-Bissaka
    Salah | Hazard | Mane | Mkhi | Richarlison
    Ings | Jimenez | Kamara

    Ings/Jimenez is the perfect duo for the 4-5-1...

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      You know Aguero just scored a hat trick, got an assist and hit the post twice in one game?

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

        And he can be benched tomorrow...

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Wow, going 4-5-0. Brave.

    3. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Lol at the frontline embarassing

      (Now watch you have a stonking week - thank me later)

    4. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Downgrade a mid and get at least 1 reliable premium forward who can score any given gameweek..

    5. Coys96
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I like it, although I'd probably go Salah > Fraser/Hughes, Kamara > Kun and Jimenez > Wilson/Mitrovic.

      Up to you though 😀

  10. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Play Betrand or Cook?

    1. Typo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Bert

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

      Cook in form

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

    Ings' injury history is more one of just being unlucky, rather recurring muscle problems right?

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

      Had like 3 torn ACL’s sounds unlucky to me

    2. Typo
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      He is injury free now

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

      Bad injury, long recovery...a tough attacking line at Liverpool to get into. He left as needed first time football....he’ll do well at Saints and earn a starting spot. Shame no Tadic there to make some magic for him.

  12. All de Gea no iDier
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    I had planned to WC around GW8 or 9 but felt that I had to hit the button this GW for exactly the same reasons that Mark Sutherns did. I feel better for reading this LOL

    Seriously, I have made around £0.7m - £0.8m this GW taking into account the ones who have dropped before I intended to transfer them out, and the ones who have increased in price this GW.

    I was shy of Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd players at the start because of various reasons, but now feel confident enough to add Alonso and Pedro into the squad and also Mkhi. I probably wouldn't have been able to do that if I had waited.

    Currently on 168 points and £100.7m + (£0.4m ITB)

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      they are handy to have but single rises don't mean all that much, what if Ozil & Willian play instead of Mkhi & Pedro? you haven't gained anything at all 😉 look at Bilva as a prime example

      1. All de Gea no iDier
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        That's where decision making comes in. Do the research and make the choice. Or ask on here and get three different answers for a simple A or B question LOL

        Single price rises / falls mean everything if you are trying to fit players into a team on a budget.

        1. SADIO SANÉ
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          falls I agree with! good luck

    2. Four Hit Wonder
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      It's definitely better to WC early when it comes to building value, as 5.000.000 managers make transfers. My team value is 101.4m, or 101.5m if Mendy rises tonight.

      I haven't been priced out of any player yet, and many can't afford the risers already without disrupting the team.

      Money will start producing points really soon.

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

        I used to chase money, never did manage to convert it into points

  13. PaulParker
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Thoughts on B.Silva game time? Can’t decide between him and Mkhi

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

      I personally think his starts look fairly secure. Others believe otherwise.

      Couldn't decide between him and Mkhi either so I have both.

    2. willl
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Neither are 100% nailed, City are better than Arsenal, Mkhi is slightly cheaper than Bernardo

      That sums it up really

    3. Jerry Big Balls
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Mkhi all day

      Bilva could right wing back ffs

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

        his average position playing 'right wing back' was 2nd furthest up the pitch, only player further forward was Aguero

  14. Bolasie
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Bench Cook(EVE) or Kamara(BUR)?

    Thanks

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

      AK

    2. Danstoke82
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Kamara. Cook could score against the weak Everton defence.

    3. Mr. Funny Name
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Kam

  15. Danstoke82
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Which one to captain?

    A) Aguero
    B) Salah

    1. Danstoke82
      • 12 Years

      Foster as he usually hauls now and then

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Ye Foster for me

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Yes from me

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

      one of those where it could easily backfire

      1. Jerry Big Balls
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Really?

        Or do you just say that to every suggested move?

        Need some arsenal action

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

          you're taking out to players with PL pedigree with good fixtures this GW. Yes, i'd prefer the to have Mkhi Zaha, but you know the risk

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

    “It’s the question that drives us, Neo...”

    ....which one to play?

    A) Neves

    Am I mad starting Hamer over De Gea? Huds have an odds on better chance of a cleani, but I guess De Gea will be getting more save points?????

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Nope think it’s a good shout

    2. El Lobito 10

      8 years, 2 days ago

      Cairney

  27. Rock Papiss Cissès
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    would you do Eriksen, Mahrez and King to Hazard, Mkhi and Ings for -4?

    Simple right?

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

      On paper....

      I would, looks like good moves.

      Pedro has looked good to me. Think he's more nailed than Willian atm and obviously has the advantage of not having played in the world cup

      Would love Pedro but had to downgrade begrudgingly to Fraser to strengthen my bench.
