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.

    Gtg? Going Walcott over Pedro might come back to haunt me but on the flipside at least I’ve got some Arsenal coverage.

    Ederson (Boruc)
    Robertson Mendy Tomkins / (Daniels, AWB)
    Salah Mané Richarlison Walcott (AMN)
    Aguero Zaha Arnautovic

    1. FPL Pillars

        Which one is template and which is risk?

  6. twoplustwo

    Is Bellerin a rotation risk this weekend? Monreal and Licht would be a pretty soft attacking force....

    1. Giles G
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't be surprised to see Licht starting. Emery might want to send a message

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

    I like how Joe attack Mark team. This is the purpose of RMT, someone attack your decision, and you need to defend it.

    However, I do agree with Joe abou 2 magic bean "Cairney", "Guendouzi" are not gonna go anywhere. Mark failed to defend his pick but overall nice defend by Mark. That why he is such a legendary

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

      He should drop Wilson to ings and put cairney up to Fraser

  8. grooveymatt65

    Hi guys this is my team got £0.5 itb

    Patricio Boruc

    Mendy Bailly Coleman Wan-B Malone

    Salah Mane Cairny Richarlison Stephens

    Aguero Zaha Firmino 

    I want to get Alonso and an Arsenal player in and realise i have abit of dross in my team. What do you guys think of the below? Thanks  

    1. Firmino and Coleman to Wilson and Alonso for free
    2. Firmino and Cairny to Ings and Mkhityryan for free
    3. Firmino and Zaha to Aubameyang and Ings for free
    4. Wildcard
    5. Other

    🙂 🙂

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

      3

    2. Team Bobcat
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Firmino has been quiet so far this season but I still think it is too early to just ged rid especially if you own and a home game game against brighton.

      I wouldn't get him in on current form but wouldnt sell him either.

      For those reasons (other) my vote

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

      1

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

      Possible suggestion for -4 :

      Coleman to Alonso
      Cairney to Mkhi
      Firmino to Wilson/Ings/Deeney

  9. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    By GW5 I hope to have the following midfield:

    B.Silva Mane Richarlison Mkhitaryan Hazard

    1. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cool

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

      Salah hat-trick tomorrow might change that

    3. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      is your fwd line any good ??

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Would be Aguero Wilson Ings probably

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

      Wheres Salah

  10. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    All set for the week with a -4.
    Good luck lads.

    Foster
    Alonso - Mendy - Robertson
    Salah(C) - Mane(vC) - Richarlison - Mkhitaryan
    Kun - Zaha - Ings

    Patricio - Peltier - Stephens - WanBissaka

      Gl to you! Mint.

      Have you seen the Brighton Bus though?

  11. Erez Avni
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Please help...
    in order to upgrade Jota to Miki I need to choose one of these downgrades:

    A. De Gea to schmeichel.
    B. King to Ings.

    cheers!

    1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A

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

      You should done ab before price rise. But now, A might be nice move.

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

        I mean should done B, but now A nice move

    3. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Not a huge amount to choose between the 2. A would probably edge it for me.

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

      Why Schmeichel?

      1. Erez Avni
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I want a 5 mil keeper set and forget. good fixtures. you'd say pickford a better choice?

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

          I'm not sure, depends on your other keeper. Pickford might be better, but why not a 4.5? Don't think there's a big difference between those price options - I guess set and forget because your other GK is 4.0 bench fodder?

          1. Erez Avni
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            yes you naled it... its Stekelenburg...

            I want a decent set and forget keeper, I hate that position!

  12. MindlessFreak2
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    @Buyaksha - re post on last page - I can only do one or the other as have to use b Silva in any of the moves...

  13. Qubit
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Struggling to decide between these 2 options
    A) Arnie + Boly to Mitrovic +Trippier
    B) Arnie + Boly + Bilva to Ings, Alonso and Mkhi

    (Can't do Alonso in without a hit.). Any comments appreciated.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B

      1. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Think a lot will pick B! Cheers

      1. Galza
        • 8 Years

        😆

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

      Aguero, Wilson, Kamara. Focus on mid for me

    7. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Aguero Aubameyang Kamara

  15. Twisted Saltergater
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Evening all

    Would you prefer Pedro or Mitrovic?

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pedro for 2 home Chelsea games incoming.

    2. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Pedro to get more ppg

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, I'm on Pedro. Watching Mark's vid made me have a think about it. Cheers lads.

    4. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      pedrow

    5. Qubit
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mitrovic mate

      1. Qubit
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        If Pedro is nailed then maybe. But difficult question to answer just 2 games in!

  16. el polako
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    1st sub Cedric or Kante ?

    Yes I do own Kante, no I dont feel bad about it.

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

      Cedric

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

    Robertson - Stones - AA - PVA - Rudiger
    Mhiki - Salah - Maddison - Milner
    Mitrovic

    Arnie - Lacazette - Sane

    Draft team qn... is benching all 3 of these a good option? I think maybe I should start Arnie over Maddison or a defender.

    I just can't take another week of a 15-30 min cameo from Lacazette or Sane, any chance they actually start?

  18. Maddi Son
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Guendouzi / Stephens best 4.5 mids?

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

      westwood
      billing

      stephens will be best at 4.4

      1. Maddi Son
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Westwood & Billing defo 100% nailed? Tears out my ass if they're not.

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

          can always upgrade to a 4.9/5 I suppose later. kennedy looks great from wk6

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

    A) Kante & Zaha
    B) Pedro & Ings

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

      B

  20. osceola31909
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    My defense:

    VVD - Bailly - PVA - AWB- Peltier

    I made a mistake in getting Bailly. I have .5 in the bank and own three Liverpool players so cannot simply downgrade Bailly to TAA. I have already used my transfer, so I figure I have three options.

    a) Hold Bailly, hope he plays, and then next week do VVD to TAA and Bailly to Mendy for -4.

    b) Bailly to Luiz this week for -4. Then do VVD to Mendy next week.

    C) Bailly to Trippier for -4 this week and wait to get Mendy down the line. Maybe in a few weeks when I wildcard.

    Thoughts?

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I would hold and hope

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

      Davies, Chilwell, Periera all good options, Sakho too

    7 years, 3 months ago

    I can't wait for tomorrow. This game is so much passion, my wife is getting pretty jealous.. She hates FPL 😀 She hates my constant " pick my C pls" questions. But she wants me to do well, she is an awesome wife.

    1. Maddi Son
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I do the exact same thing with my Mrs haha. She just always picks the easy names out of the choices.

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

        Heh, mine is reluctant to make those choices any more 🙂

    2. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      get her involved. topless during the scout cast?

        Now you spoilt you silly old sausage.

  23. Ian Davis

    Play Neves or Cairney?

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Cairney

  24. HP.
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Play Hamer or Hennessey??

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I have the same keepers, but I’m relying on Hennessey, doesn’t feel right with Hamer in goal.. If Cardiff are going to score it’ll be this week, I could see them winning, Huddersfield are so poor

  25. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    What are the odds of Hennessey being dropped for Guaita before gw10?

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

      Pretty low

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

      17.3%

    3. child of God

      Only Roy would know

    4. Dr. Rog

        Hodgson: "Max Meyer is ready to start. Max, Kouyate, Ayew and Guaita are all ready and can probably count themselves unlucky that they haven't yet."

        I think I am the minority who thinks that he is an awful tender.. Hen that is.

    6. ZTF
      • 11 Years

      Pedro > Mkhi?

      1. ⚽️ Barry Chocolate ⚽…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        nope

      2. kalmoffit
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Template says yes. Not for me

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

        both offer the best value in the game (along with Mendy & AWB) if they can stay nailed

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

          You speak sense Doc

      4. Sharpe Shuffle
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I’d want both

        1. Sharpe Shuffle
          • 9 Years

          At the moment, I own Mkhi and waiting to see if Pedro and Hazard start together before deciding on Pedro

          Nah don't want to wild card. Made a good start with two 100+ gameweeks to start and Happy with 3 of them players going forward and Tosun getting subbed out next week.

      If you are taking hits I think it may be a good week to do it if its for mids or forwards. I predict a lot of goals in tomorrows games, a couple of bloodbaths too.
