FPL team reveals: Mark Sutherns reveals his final draft for Gameweek 1

Fantasy Football Scout’s very own Mark Sutherns has been discussing his final Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team over on our YouTube channel – subject to any last-minute tinkering of course.

This is an exclusive for Premium Members – and there’ll be plenty more to come in 2021/22.

Mark will be filming one video just for subscribers every week throughout the upcoming campaign, so sign up via this link in order to see them.

FPL pre-season: Trossard hits hat-trick from wing-back role 1

In his latest video, the FPL BlackBox co-host discusses Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m), Kostas Tsimikas (£4.0m) and a couple of intriguing mid-price midfielders.

Mark explains his 3-5-2 set-up, premium midfielder choices and the omission of Danny Ings (£8.0m), plus lots more.

One thing to note, since the team reveal was recorded, Mark has switched Ben White (£4.5m) to Luke Ayling (£4.5m), something he touched on in the video.

    How do people generally find head to head leagues? It's my first time in one this year

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      never liked them

      1. BoomXhakaLaca1
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        My league has nice few casuals in it so we thought it'd be fairer this year

        1. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          ya it's good to keep them interested alright i just dont find it fun

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Fun distraction.

    3. JohnnyRev7
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It's a lottery to be honest. Anyone can beat anyone on any given day. But isn't that part of the fun?

      A few years back I ran a Classic and H2H together (12 teams). The guy who finished last in the classic... won the H2H!

      If it's your first year, give it a go. You've got nothing to lose. 🙂

    Is there a link for members to renew at today's discount?

    Suicide to go with Bruno(c) over Salah?

    1. thepeen555
      • 7 Years

      Ballsy

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        He who dares..

    2. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not really. No reason why Bruno can't outscore him. Leeds were still poor defensively away even in the second half of the season

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Not at all - Bruno is the man for this week - this Utd Leeds derby can be a bonkers goal fest

    4. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No. Moves like that could pay off at the start of a season, and gives you lots of time to catch up if the risk doesn't pay off.

      1. Burger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thank you, confirmed my thinking

  8. cruzex
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    pulisic or mount?

    1. Mongreloid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Mount, but fixtures are dreadful and better value at that price elsewhere

  9. Jealous Viper
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Any thoughts will be appreciated. I know the bench is a bit weak but might be willing to take the risk

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Nice front but think the bench is too risky with COVID

    2. mrmojorisin8
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Covid is still a thing, I wouldn’t risk having such a weak bench

    3. Bedok
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Your bench is long in syllables. You'll be fine.

  11. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years

    Barnes or Gündogan??

    1. thepeen555
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Barnes

  12. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Antonio or Bamford?

    1. Gizzachance
      • 9 Years

      Antonio until injured !

    2. thepeen555
      • 7 Years

      A for now then B imo

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Bamford on pens in a better attacking unit & not made of sugar-glass

  13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Looks like they might struggle to get 7.0m managers this year from 8.5m last year

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Already broken the record. Was less than 6m players last year before GW1

      8.5m was after GW1

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Will creep up

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      There are never that many active managers

      I’d imagine half of the 8m are bots

    4. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      wait til lads start doing the 1 week teams & it'll be well past last years

    5. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Don't believe it was 8.5, wow! I think it'll be 7m before the deadline

    Sanchez
    Trent - Tsim - Shaw
    Salah (c) - Bruno - Grealish - Barnes - Buendia
    Ings - Antonio

    Bench: Steele - Ayling - Amartey - Obafemi

  17. Scout15
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is benching Shaw with this ownership crazy?

    1. Igz08
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      i mean even without seems crazy

    2. BoomXhakaLaca1
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes

    3. altan8797
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      why have him if you are gonna bench him when he has a home fixture?

    4. Scout15
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Cheers, needed that 😀

  18. Igz08
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    would you rather have Raphinha or Buendia?

    Kostas currently starting ahead of Raph for me; if I get Buendia i'll probably pop him in

    1. Scout15
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’d try with Buendia

    2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Raphinha purely because I’ve seen what he can do for an extended period of time

      Buendia should be good as well, but Raphinha is bullet proof - he will feast this year

      1. Igz08
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        That’s my thinking mate. Would you start Raph over Kostas?

  19. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Play Tsimi or Coufal?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Tsimikas

    2. JohnnyRev7
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Tsimikas. Plus you don't need Coufal until GW3.

  20. FPL ElasticO
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Who should you start?

    A. Coufal
    B. Raphinha

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      Solid

    3. vova
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      good team. I think you should start Tsimikas because you are getting him for the first 3 gameweeks or so and then he will drop to the bench when Robertson comes back so it doesn't make sense to bench him.

  25. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 7 Years
