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.

      For anybody who is interested,

    • Khark
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      On my wildcard and have 5m for my 5th midfielder. Such a trivial decision and I really can’t decide...

      A. Kante
      B. Brooks
      C. Hughes

      What’s the general consensus ?

      1. FPL Joker
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        A

        1. Chi not God
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          I'd go Hughes .

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

        A. Haz_ a set and forget Chelsk asset and to have a 5th of Kante's calibre means you forgo their defence this season if you can swat the Alonso bandwagon as it's a given Chelsk will be "we score more than you team" this year.

    • Gubbins94.

      Play Arnie or Kante this week? Gotta be Arnie right?

      Hello evening folks

      On a wildcard, would you do this

      Foster / Fab / Arnie ------> to ------> Ederson Hamer and Ings/Mitro?

      I don't like Arnie's fixtures. Also Ings or Mitro?

      Any help much appreciated

      Thanks

      1. Chilli Heatwave
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Yes and mitro if can affford it

        1. Fiona B
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Thanks - might pull the trigger!

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

      Is David Silva seriously going under the radar? Three things happened since Pep said he wouldn't play as much this year.
      1. He retired from international football
      2. KdB got injured
      3. He ran the show v Hudds

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

        Will play a decent amount. Still get rotated like all city mids though. And wouldn't say he's under the radar at all. Just more pricey than Bilva so less popular

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

          Rotation will be limited for him imo

    • Naboo
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Seems there are only about 25 players being considered by everyone here. Think outside the box guys!!! Where are the differentials at?

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        lukaku!

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

        Why don't you name some and quit pontificating then?

      3. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I like my box.

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

        I'm keeping an eye on Alli & Morata

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

          As are many. But you're not choosing them yet. I hazard a guess you have transferred in one or more of these 25 players.

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

            U OK hun? I bought in Mkhi this week but only because my differential of Ramsey to start the season fell flat

        2. Oven Glover
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Same. Already got Morata. Might go Sterling and Shaw to Alli and Alonso if Sterling let’s me down once again.

          1. Oven Glover
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            *lets...

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

            He won't

      5. FPL Joker
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Come Sunday it will all change. It’s part of this fickle society in which we live.

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

          Agree. And if I point out again that everyone has the blinkers on Lobito will still jump

    • FPL Ultras
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who to captain?

      A) Aubameyang
      B) Aguero
      C) Mane
      D) Eriksen
      E) B. Silva
      F) Mendy
      G) Alonso
      H) Richarlison

      Currently backing Auba!

      Thanks guys!

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

        Hamer ftw

      2. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        The in form striker from that list.

      3. 404_FC
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        B or C

    • Francescoli
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Any mention of Luke Shaw in the Man Utd presser?

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        no

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

          Don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing...

      2. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Hardly any mention of anything, and nothing on Shaw.

    • Coys96
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Worth a WC or stick:

      Moves I'm considering:

      Begovic > Ederson
      Fabianski > Hamer
      TAA > Alonso
      Salah > Hazard
      Eriksen > Mane

      Taken a hit this week so that'll be cancelled too.

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

        I wouldn't do it!

    • Whats the Mata?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Quick one.

      A. Laporte + King + 4points
      Or
      B. Alonso + Ings

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

        B all day

    • bbleinebo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Bennett or Stankovik ?

    • Thiga
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      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

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

          Cheers

        2. Thiga
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          While I have you, do you think there's any chance that Lamela starts ahead of him?

    • gers23
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Robertson v Taa? Have Robertson but thinking of switching on Wildcard

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

        Depends on how you use the extra mil. If it's a straight shootout between the two, Robbo all day.

      2. Torres76
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Clyne could start tomorrow

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

          so could moreno

      3. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Would be mad to switch

      4. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        No way.

    • LABILLEPOGBATHEGOAT
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      use FT on firmino > auba, or keep firmino for this weekend?

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

        Keep firmino

      2. FPL Joker
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        He could score a hat trick at Home to Brighton. Why get rid? Because Mane has scored more in the last two weeks and that means he will always do that and Firmino will never score again.

      3. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        As Internal Error said.
        When we play a low block system Firmino drops a bit deeper to structure a diamond formation and has less attacking output. He helps out the midfield to help the team as a whole. I’d make the move.

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          You´re spot on, but what we cannot foresee is how the game will pan out, if it´s an early goal it could be a goalfest and then Firmino will albeit being positioned lower in the field most likely participate in the goals as well. Fantastic footballer but not always the one you want in your fantasy team, just the team you support in real life (YNWA)

    • Torres76
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Best 3rd striker option

      1. Wilson
      2. Ings
      3. Mitrovic

      1. FPL Jogger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        1

      2. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Mitro for me

      3. Bullet Eder
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        1

    • ChickenTikkaMoSalah
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Worth the hit?
      Tosun —-> Wilson

      Shaw —-> Alonso

      Thanks

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

        Nah not this week

    • 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
        7 years, 3 months ago

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

      2. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Over thinking

      3. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

    • Torres76
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Best option please

      1. Alonso, Robertson, Wilson, Kante

      2. Alonso, Daniels, Wilson, Mikitarian

      Two questions for anyone that has a minute.

      A. Start PVA or Cook?

      B. Start Foster or Hamer?

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Pva and Hamer

    • Mrs.whittlebury
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      disagree with mark for once about not being able to have kane salah and aguero and still have a good team. I have alle 3 and are around 30k place. my team:
      foster and ryan
      robertson mendy wan bissaka schlup 4.0
      salah mkhi richarlison pereyra 4.5
      wilson kane aguero.

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

        Not sure- I’m going without Kane at the moment- will flip if Salah let’s me down

      2. Vamos
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Nice team

        1. Mrs.whittlebury
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          thx. could be just me but it feels weird without having kane salah and aguero on my team as i think those 3 will score big over the season and got 2 premium defenders, but still got my wc if something unecpected happens.

      3. bench boost for every gamew…
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        yes you have a good team but having all three makes you less flexible, if say a 8-10m mid arises, you will have problems, and you can´t without selling one of them do anything in defence if say a new 6m defender is wanted. Every time you will want a pl ayer above the bracket you have you will be forced to get that difference from either one of the big hitters. What if you want a 5m defender, what do you do? If you want Arnie or Zaha?

      or
      B) Mkhitaryan

      I already own Kun, Mendy & Aubameyang.

      Cheers.

        I should add I already own Bilva, would be a free hit to bring in Mkhitaryan

        Bilva, for the below reason on Mkhi.

        Leaning towards B
        Concerned that BSilva might play deep, not get full 90 or just not keep up early points

      So my team required major surgery with Sanchez, no premium defs (who have been scary to watch), Bobby F., King and Jota. My WC is below. Any comments most welcome. I had Mkhi but am unsure given some of the line ups posted by Arsenal fans on their forum, nobody seems that bothered by him. I've never had much joy owning in the past either, so have upgraded my bench instead.

      Hennessey

      Robbo Mendy Alonso

      Salah Mane Richarlison Hughes (Derby soft spot!!)

      Arnie Aguero Wilson

      Bench: Stek PVA Kante AWB

      Moves I'm considering:

      Begovic > Ederson
      Fabianski > Hamer
      TAA > Alonso
      Salah > Hazard
      Eriksen > Mane

      Taken a hit this week so that'll be cancelled too 🙂

        Should I WC?

          Don't like Hamer move or loosing Salah so swings and roundabouts and wouldn't use WC

        Salah certain to score a hat trick if you sell him.

    • De Gea Van Dijk. 10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Just about to make the switch.

      Kane > Auba.

      This will no doubt all end in tears again.
