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.

        five years ago FPL managers would exchange ideas and ask for 'A or B' advice at most once per gameweek, it's now descended into page after page of repetitive passive-aggressive 'rate my team', 'tell me what to do', 'need to know NOW, guys'; 'need help', 'soooo confused, lads!', 'what's the consensus?' neediness

          Welcome to the world of the Mellenials. It’s probably their mum depending they get what they want.

    What's the longest roadtrip you have ever done?

    Having a unrealistic yearning to drive across the world?
    Through every major city on Europe Asia and beyond.

    Has it been done? Don't see much online..

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years

      I once drove to Tesco

      1. camarozz

        Ha - ha, HA

      There was a lad from Hull who started walking home from Chile, through South and Central America, Mexico, US, before waiting in Canada for the ice to freeze in the Bering Strait so he could walk to Russia. He left in 1998, still walking somewhere. Karl Bushby.

      Not a road trip as such, but a bloody long adventure all the same. I guess growing up in Hull will do that to you.

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anyone else feel that Bernardo Silva is either going to play RW or get benched this week? Gundogan and David Silva will be the preferred pair in CM imo.

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Based on what?

      1. Gianfranco Zola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Just think Bernardo and David are both advanced midfielders and you need someone with them to sit a little deeper like KDB/Gundogan. Also from Pep's comments, he really seems to like Gundogan.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      They might drop Jesus this week.

      I'm guessing they go:

      Stones Kompany Laporte
      Gundogan Fernandinho
      Bilva Mendy
      Dilva Sterling
      Aguero

      1. Gianfranco Zola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Don't see Walker being dropped 2 games in a row

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

      May well be benched to allow mahrez and or sterling and or sane starting imo.

      But if isn’t and plays RW are you saying that’s bad?

      1. Gianfranco Zola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Playing RW would be the ideal scenario and I'm an owner (for now). I just think he's not as nailed on as the general consensus seems to be

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

          Oh no he def isn’t imo

    4. ManofKent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think he'll play on the right where he'll do a good job for the team but be less exciting fpl ponts wise than in the middle.

    5. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You'd think the ff Guru's would be licking their lips with the KDB injury with a more structured guess into the Citeh m/f conundrum.

      Not a bit of it__It's tough . Walker benched ! Sterling benched!

      It's the walk of shame really...We have to stick our necks out in an orderly fashion.

    6. Clintymints
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Fernandinho D silva and Gundogan make up the core 3 midfield

      B silva can end up andwhere

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

    PVA & King > Alonso & Ings for a -4 hit? Will look like this: (Will have 0.1m ITB).

    Foster
    Mendy Robertson Alonso
    Salah Mane Richarlison Mhkitaryan
    Aguero Zaha Ings

    Fabianski Peltier Stephens Wan-Bissaka

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

      Aye.

    2. A La Pelle
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not for me. Would save.

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

      I wouldn’t do it, especially for a hit. Pva is a good pick, and with a decent fixture also so why lose points to get rid of a player who could easily score more than the player your getting in!

      King for Ings sounds decent, but he could score this gw. Why not just hold and then do it for free next gw?

    4. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Keep pva

    5. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No. King transfer out next week he might come good but no guarantee (no one ever), PVA nice fixture, I actually thinking Shaw > PVA myself.

  6. MrPeabody7
    • 11 Years

    Am i crazy to go without salah in my WC?
    Mane captain this week

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

      Yes, I think so.

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

      not crazy. there is more than one way to skin a cat
      what you will have to accept though is rank volatility due to high ownership and captaincy

    3. Rosey Palmer
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Half of my ML doesn't own Salah, including the current leader, but they have 9 of the other template players and it has not hurt them too much. Until this GW maybe...

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

        if you subtract away base prices, salah consumers a quarter of the teams budget
        he also cant increase in price from here (no more buyers at the margin) so he is easy to bring back in and if he blanks a couple of weeks could be done at a discount as well.
        having said that watching the first 2 games id be worried not to own him
        you just have to have confidence and resolve that your 2 premium players (and captaincy choice) will be not worse than salah plus a cheapie

      Do what you can with the free hit this week, wildcard next week, shouldn’t cost you more than 10 points, no biggie, free hit is pretty bad anyway

      Nice one. I love cruises.

      Not pissed, just a bit narked over someone I like being jumped on Twitter. I think the FPL cameraderie is a little fraught for some reason at the moment.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I think the comment was due to confusion over UK vs. US definitions of 'pissed'.

    3. Four Hit Wonder

      I'm hungry.

    Keep Lucas Moura or transfer out for Richarlison (-4)? Leaning towards getting rid because other than the really well-taken goal, I haven't been impressed with his general involvement in Spurs' play. Thoughts?

    1. El Lobito 10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not for a hit imo

    if I get info on here and it turns out to be false, I only have myself to blame as no one forced me to use that piece of info. Mods need to chill and let us make an assessment by our own selves.

    1. Tommytour
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      What was the info?

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      • 16 Years

      Fake news is obvious.

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

        you could have at least let him link up the Twitter account so that we could verify for ourselves.

        1. Brehmeren
          • 15 Years

          He had the chance?

      The site obviously wants to stay credible. Read the tabloids for speculation etc.

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

        if he linked up the tweet then the blame wouldn't be on FFS in case the info was false.

        1. Brehmeren

          But he didnt!?

    5. Warblers
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Violently disagree. I am thankful that the mods have the good sense to keep the patently ridiculous and, as in this case, childish efforts to get attention out of here so the rest of us can have reasonably decent discussion and share thoughtful insight.

      You want rumors? Go to the gossips section of the tabloids.

        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        same was said for an field express when it started out. Powell, the guy who leaked Chelsea's the sheets in advance was written off as a fraud and a gossiper, yet in both these instances they turned out to be correct.

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

          BS. The idiot original poster should have included a link, not simply rely on "my Liverpool friend." C'mon man, use your noodle.

      So you want these boards to be full of random garbage fake news and it's up to the community to decide for themselves which one is true and which one isn't? You don't deserve the benefit of doubt just because you post some crap. Back it up with a source the first time round or prove your credibility by getting it right 2-3 times in a row and then you shall be believed.

      Could pay off

        With Hazard being given 50-60 according to Sarri could do with getting for free next week

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

    Do you think either Mahrez or Sterling could start as strikers Vs Wolves seeing as they were both rested last week? And that Aguero could start from the bench?
    Or am I over thinking my captain choice?

    Thanks.

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years

      I sold sterling but if I had him still I’d captain him

  19. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months 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
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

    3. Gazpilicueta

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

    4. shotgunnufc - MANIAC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      that’s the opposite of what you should be thinking

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

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

      Not that simple, depends on your current rank actually.

  20. The Finnisher

    This is it then;

    Ederson
    Alonso TAA Mendy
    Salah (c) Mkhi Richarlison Mane
    Aguero Zaha Ings

    Hamer Anguissa/Guendouzi Wan-B Bennett

    0.8 for Mane > Hazard next week.

    Good luck all!

    Wildcard team done.

    Ryan;
    Mendy, Alexander-Arnold, Dummett;
    Salah, Mané, Richarlison, Pedro, Diakhaby;
    Agüero, Aubameyang.

    Button; Kamara, Bennett, Wan-Bissaka.

    £1.1m in the bank for future moves.

    Let's go champ.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Can't spend my Hazard money on 7th attackers. 😉

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

          Yeah fair enough ! I just valued a stronger bench with my WC. But can see kamaras appeal to enable.

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

            There is that risk of going with a weaker bench to be able to an extra top player. That is the problem I am seeing with a lot of these WC teams with balance across the board, are people mentally strong to keep the power three of Mendy-Alonso-Robertson when Aubameyang/Hazard are scoring along with Salah/Agüero/Mané? Knees will jerk.

        2. Snikii
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Just get Hazard then.

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

            Mané vs Brighton and then he's out.

        3. Podge
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Mane to hazard now ?

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

            Nah, Newcastle only conceded 5 goals at home to the top six last season and Hazard isn't ready for 90 minutes, too risky.

  22. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Do you think it was worth taking 2 hits to bring in Rich, Miki and Alonso for Eriksen, Ralls and Bailly?

    1. Like an Egyptian Magician
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      -8 seems too much. Bailly and Eriksen will do well after this gw.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Bailly might be dropped after his last performance. And Eriksen was playing too deep and also he didn't take the set-pieces. For 9.5, no thanks.

    3. Frucke
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe. If you have more pushing transfers, wc? My best fpl season i wcd before gw 3

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Only Mane and Zaha missing from the dangerous ones. Plan is to WC around GW 5 or 6 as my team looks really good for GW 4.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think so yes. Great upgrades for all positions and hopefully you got good price rises on all 3.

  24. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    The team you can build with Kane Auba Aguero Salah is better than what I thought it would be tbh (no premium DEF though)... can be something along the lines of:

    Fabianski Hamer
    Mee TAA Cook (AWB Bennett)
    Salah Richarlison Fraser Kante (Stephens)
    Kane Aguero Aubameyang

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

      Kante every week
      Cook every week
      What if TAA gets a rest

      Don't like it at all tbh

      1. Licious Lizard
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        AWB would play quite a few games over the next weeks.
        And if (IF) Bennet retains his sport GW 5 and 7 are excellent for him as well.

        Not saying it’s worth it, but better than what I actually imagined

    2. Licious Lizard
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Actually an interesting take.
      Sometimes you would play 4-3-3 I’d imagine with AWB’s fixtures

    3. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I think it looks half decent.

  25. TOBY1
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months 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
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Can't see mendy not starting either way

    2. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months 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
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months 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

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

      would love to see pep to prove just how good they really are and play himself in the middle of the park

  26. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone going Aguero as captain?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      My mate at work, it is his 1st year playing

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

        Probably doing well after last week then.

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I guess the ManUtd players' teams have captained Spurs players.

  27. AYEW KI-EDEN MEE
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Timely price drop for Rambo. Will be watching closely later

    1. Bad Kompany

  28. Scout Picks Challenge GW3
    @ocprodigy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    SCOUT PICKS CHALLENGE - GAMEWEEK 3

    Sorry, on holiday with my family but GW2 results will be available tomorrow!

    For this week, let's go...!

    ****** WHAT IS IT? ******

    For those of you who haven't been around or aren't aware, every evening prior to the start of the gameweek FFS releases their picks of players for the gameweek, "Scout Picks", as well as 3 differentials before the first games to separate yourself from the crowd.

    This is your way to have a bit of fun and challenge those scout picks with a set of your own (read instructions below). This will always open the day before the gameweek starts around 8pm, and whilst you don't have to play weekly, the more you play the better chance you have of winning!

    Gameweek winners will also be awarded a spot in the Community Roundup article.

    ****** INSTRUCTIONS ******

    Everyone can have their own scout picks (there is no limit on team value) but with one simple rule,

    YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE PLAYER FROM EACH TEAM
    (yes, two of your players at least will be on opposing teams).

    You can only have ONE submission, and your FIRST submission will be what is accepted. You also must respond DIRECTLY to this post (not to a reply on this post). FFS Scout Picks are automatically enrolled. Teams must comply with FPL formation rules and be submitted in an easy to read format, e.g.

    GK
    DEF DEF DEF
    MID MID MID MID
    FOR FOR FOR

    Deadline for this gameweek is Sunday 13th May, 2pm.

    ****** SCORING ******

    Regardless of number of applicants, scoring will be done by the following:

    1st place: 3 points
    Top 4% of the population will rank "second" and score 2 points.
    Top 10% of the population will rank "third" and score 1 point.

    There is also a bonus point which everyone is eligible for. If you score higher than FFS' Scout Picks AND Differential Picks (i.e. 14 players), you will be awarded with a bonus point regardless of whether you were in the top 10% scoring positions or not.

    Welcome to the game, and good luck.

      Keep Firmino for at least GW3.

    3. Gazpilicueta

      or maybe just Jota to Fraser for now?

    Backline security? I have VVD, Mendy, Shaw, BedNOrek, Banned-Wissaka.

    1 mill in the bank. Do I transfer Bednarek out or save the FT? I'm worried that 3 won't play.

    Considering Tomkins, Keane, Chambers and Cedric.
    Or are Stankovic, Bennett or Peltier viable options?
    Anyone looking at Lichtsteiner?

      The 4.0m are not worth it, all huge rotation risks and won't play. Chambers is not nailed on, tomkins is the best 4.5m
