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.

      C - Leeds earlier fixtures look rough, come back to Raphinha when they turn.

  2. AD2110

    Ings or Antonio?

  3. smash

    Havertz as a 1 week punt too risky we think? might not play etc

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

      Too risky

      1. smash
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah was all set now I'm not sure
        cheers.

    Is this GTG ?

    Raya ( Gunnarson )

    Shaw - Tsimikas - Amartey ( Webster, White )

    Bruno (C) - Salah - Mahrez - Jota (Gilmour )

    Martial - Antonio - Richarlison

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

      You got some big issues:

      No TAA
      Too many cheap defenders
      Why Martial & Richy? will they even start.
      Jota rotation risk

  5. Manani
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    who is the 4.5m forward to go for?

    1. Marty McFly
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Probably Obafemi

    2. Wild Card this!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      None

    3. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Scarlett Johannson.

  6. Obi-1 Kenobi-0

    Repost (no replies, I’m sad)

    Sanchez Steer
    Trent Shaw Tsimiskas X X
    Salah Bruno Havertz Barnes X
    Ings Antonio Obafemi
    £0.5 ITB

    A) 4-4-2: Targett, Ayling, Brownhill (better bench).
    B) 3-5-2: Fofana, Omobamidele, Benrahma (v weak bench)

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

      No one really knows. Whatever leaves you a little wiggle room. GW1 is a toss up. Many will be transferring in the guy that no one expected. Give yourself some room to jump on an early riser.

  7. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Anyone else slightly put off ESR now with the Odegaard rumours?

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      mbeuno the best 5.5mid longterm yes..still with ESR week 1 for me

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah, that is probably true- would you double up with Toney though?

    2. Pariße
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Slightly, but there’s still time.

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      The Odegaard rumors have been around for a while, we’ve seen last season though that they can play together but ESR was never that great of a pick imo

      1. Hart-ake
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Rumours seem to have got stronger today though- but yes ESR could play on the left, although becomes more of a rotation risk.

  8. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Coufal or Cash??

  9. Jòse
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Got this. Thoughts?

    Sanchez - 4.0
    Digne - TAA - Tsimikas - Amartey - 4.0
    Grealish - Buendia - Salah - Fernandes - Barnes
    DCL - Ings - 4.5

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Having 3 x 4m defenders is not the right way to go. Okay for this week but it's too risky.

  10. Joey Tribbiani
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Vestergaard just signed, but is it too late for him to start tomorrow?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      You would have thought so

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Don't think so

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

      Nah apparently he is eligible to play

      1. Joey Tribbiani
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        really?

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

    Gundogan my only starter under 10% ownership, wanted a few more differentials but will end up with about 8 picks that everyone else on here already owns

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

    Team 1 or 2? Thanks and good luck this season people.

    1
    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Coufal Tsimi
    Mo Son Bruno Raphina
    Toney Antonio
    (Steele White Gilmour Perico)

    2
    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Tsimi
    Mo Son Bruno Raphina Benrahma
    Toney Antonio
    (Steele *Veltman *Ayling Perico)

  13. Jdpz

    Best 4.0 gk? I don't want Foster.

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

      Gunn?

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      None will have any chance of playing really so pick the back up from a team you won’t have to worry about tripling up with and has the nicest shirt

  14. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Surprised I'm not seeing many punting on Grealish to be honest

    1. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Going with a wild prediction for the season.....Grealish will start less than 15 games.

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

        Bloody hell 🙂

    Why are people posting their teams here 😆

    Are they expecting some sort of profound insight that they haven’t thought of for the last 4-6 weeks??

    All you’re doing is confusing yourselves & making impulse knee jerks guys

    Cut out the RMT’s & A or B’s & be at peace with your own decisions 1 hour before deadline

    1. NotsoSpursy
      • 7 Years

      Ha we have only just started organising our teams! 🙂

    4. Life_Ban
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Fully agree

      Absolutely spot on for "serious players"

  16. Zimo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I feel like spreading seeds of doubt about whether players are starting or not. Who wants to be evil with me

    1. Life_Ban
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I would except I have been banned 2x

      Quite bored of making accounts using VPN etc

      I am playing nicely nowadays

  18. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Is Veltman, Omobamidele, Perica bench good enough? Or should I downgrade Coufal to Ayling and upgrade Omo to White?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      N/N ?!?

  19. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    With OGS saying Sancho will be involved does this put you off Greenwood?

    A Greenwood
    B Grealish

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Gundo or Mahrez

        I have no idea what this means!

    3. bring_on _the_fantasy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Greenwood needs to start transitioning into a number 9 now. Better than Martial.

    4. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      am going Greenwood mate!

      What's your team?

      Mine is
      Sanchez Steele
      TAA Shaw Tsimikas
      Salah Bruno Barnes Greenwood
      Ings Antonio Toney
      Steele White Ayling Briwing

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

        Similar here but Barnes over Raphinha in my mind!

        Sanchez
        TAA Shaw Tsimikas
        Salah Bruno Raphinha Greenwood
        Ings Toney Antonio

        Foster Coufal Ayling Brownhill

        1. Rinseboy
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Good luck I prefer Barnes and White for sure!

  20. CornerTakenQuicklyOrigi
    • 4 Years

    Mason Mount:
    Under Lampard - Overall 53rd xFPL points
    Under Tuchel - Overall 8th xFPL points

    Hi Everyone, last minute RMT as I've just returned from hols and did not have much time to tinker. At the moment I'm on:

    Schmeichel
    TAA - Tsimikas - Shaw
    Bruno - Salah - Gundo - Buendia
    Antonio - Ings - Toney

    Steele - White - Veltman - Brownhill
    ITB = 0

    Other alternative could be: Gundo & Buendia to Raphina & Barnes.

    What do you think?

    Thanks and good luck to all.

    Hey Guys i am thinking of punting Sterling over all of Gundo, Mahrez and Grealish for game week 1-3.

    Is this a great punt in your opinion?

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      it is the definition of a punt so why not

  26. LLoris

      He’ll be in your team at 12.2 for GW2

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

      So are you signing him now for 12.0 or end of the week for 12.2?

      Wildcard maybe??
