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.

        • 10 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Good point on the £1m

  2. Footieboot
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Play Coufal or White?

    1. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Coufal probably. Who knows what to expect out of Brentford and this Arsenal side.

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      White

    3. Super John McGinn-
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Coufal

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

    What's with the Buendia hype? He only scored 1 goal in the PL 2 seasons ago.

    1. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I said this before, obviously people are closer to the detail than me but I’m passing.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      He's in the hole man...

      1. AnyoneButLiverpool
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        what hole?

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

      Too late to answer now

    4. PartyTime
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Is he playing for Norwich?

    5. Jarnathan
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      It's funny when people just start 'researching' 2 days prior.

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

    Need to trim 0.5m from this lot - any ideas?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Tsimikas
    Salah, Bruno, Greenwood, Barnes
    Ings, Antonio, Wilson

    Steele, White, Amartey, Bissouma
    Bank 0.0m

    1. Over Midwicket
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Barnes to any of the 6.5 milfs.

      1. The Overthinker
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I like milfs

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

          They like to play out of position.

          1. The Overthinker
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            But do they score?

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

        I fancy Barnes to do well though - best of the 6.5s?

        1. The Overthinker
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Consider saka? Or bailley?

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

      Wilson-> Toney then you also have 0.5 ITB to swap Greenwood -> Grealish or Barnes -> Gundogan GW2. My plan (same team)

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

    ESR or Benrahma

    1. ManUtdFan977
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Benrahma

      1. bring_on _the_fantasy

    Anyone playing TC Salah or BB?

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

      Some are playing BB, TC this early is crazy imo

    2. Gabistuta
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      BB

    3. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Tc Salah tempting

  7. SMOOTH
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A. Barnes Toney
    B. ESR ings

    I know A seems more attractive but is it worth losing ings?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Same question for B but my A is Benrahma Wilson ... currently B

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

        I’ve gone b and ESR likely to Willock next week as .5 itb

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

        In your case prefer B

  8. Blue Moon Rising
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Amartey or Ayling?

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Ayling

  9. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Pepe on corners, free-kicks and penalties tonight, really hoping he thrives as a differential!

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

      will you C though!!

      1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Not brave enough to Captain but hopeful of a double-digit haul!

    2. The Overthinker
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Honestly, not a bad shout

    3. Michelle Davin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Bargain at 7.5

    4. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I’d love to see it but I highly doubt it.

  10. Datchelseaguy
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which of these 3

    a. Sterling
    b. Gundo
    c. Mahrez

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Gundo, best value

  11. nolard
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Am I good to go?

    Sanchez
    TAA, Dias, Shaw, Dunk
    Havertz, Salah (c), Raphinia, Barnes
    Watkins, Vardy
    --
    Steele, Brownhill, Tsimikas, Obafemi

    Vardy to Lukaku and Dias to Chilwell planned moves.
    Dunk could be Coufal, but evens out I think.

    Thanks!

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Looks good, very well thought out! I wish I had your clarity

      1. nolard
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks!

  12. chaser123

    Any Arsenal team news?

    1. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      No Auba or Laca, likely XI:

      Leno
      Bellerin White Holding Tierney
      Elneny Xhaka
      Saka ESR Martinelli
      Pepe

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

        This starting XI dosen't fill me with any confidence, Toney could fill his boots tonight!

    2. Mr Bird
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Only that Auba, Laca are both ill.

    3. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Balo starts!

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        And ESR?

  13. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Wow. Tsimikas 23% ownership. News surely gets spread faster these days.

    1. Kun Tozser
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      3.9 GW4

      1. FPLtfs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thats fine if after his 20 points

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Do Liverpool do clean sheets at the start of a season?

  14. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Really struggling....How's this look?
    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw White Tsimikas
    Salah Bruno Barnes Greenwood
    Wilson Bamford
    Dias-Gilmour-Perica
    0.5 TSB

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Looks good to me. Not much of a struggle.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Anything you'd change? It just doesnt feel like a strong team to me

        1. nolard
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          Maybe consider upgrading Wilson.
          Also wouldn't go with two from United in midfield, looking to get some Chelsea cover.
          Also remember, you got Dias on the bench to come in.

          1. nico05
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 10 months ago

            Cheers I was thinking Greenwood as well as Bruno could be a little heavy.
            Thank you for your input and good luck with your team!

            1. nolard
              • 9 Years
              2 years, 10 months ago

              No worries, and thanks!

  15. ManUtdFan977
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Mahrez or son for the long term

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

      son

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Depends how well Spurs can do.

    3. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Mahrez for now, Son long term!

    4. nolard
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Son, hands down.

  16. Clueless_91
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA - Tsimikas - Shaw
    Bruno - Salah - Barnes - Greenwood - Mbeumo
    Antonio - Ings

    Steele - White - Coufal -Perica

    Thoughts? Gtg?

  17. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Which option? He'll be on my bench until Tsimikas is playing. So need him from around GW4.

    A. White
    B. Ayling
    C. Veltman

    Have Sanchez as well.

    1. LLoris
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A or B

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

      A or B is a toss up.

    3. GROBARI
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I have A and B waiting on the bench

  18. YEAH PITCH!
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A) Antonio
    b) Wilson

    1. nolard
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      A - better team.

      1. YEAH PITCH!
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thank you

  19. Coolboy9191
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Guys why no love for pepe. Now that auba and laca out. He should be the main man.

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

      general lack of trust for gunners that's why

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

      Too shorter term pick for some peoples liking

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

        And probably the fact that those 2 players are out

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      See my post above, will be on all set pieces (corners, free-kicks + pens)

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      And Saka.

      2 tough games in the first 3 and tonight's too...

  20. goOnrobbo
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    White, Ayling or Veltman?

  21. ⭐ ABHISHEK - THE CURIOUS …
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Raphina selected for Brazil miss GW4!

  22. The Overthinker
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Fastest fingers first.

    Pick one to start
    A) white
    B) Toney

  23. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Gündogan/Barnes and Toney or DCL and Benrahma?

  24. C_G
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I feel good about this team!

    Sanchez

    TAA Tsimikas Shaw

    Bruno Son Salah Benrahma Raphina

    Toney Ings

    Foster Veltman Amartey Obafemi

  25. Footieboot
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Raphinha on a 3-5-2 or Toney on a 3-4-3?

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Wk1 Toney, wk2 Ralph

  26. Pedram
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Leicester City have completed the signing of Jannik Vestergaard from Southampton.

    There goes my Amartey punt

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

      Southampton got any players left? Will surely struggle to find any players of even similar quality to the ones they sold.

      1. Gomolon
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        They haven't signed replacements for Ings or Vestegaard right? :/

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

    Barnes or Madisson? And Why?

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Torn between the two. Want to punt on Maddison as he feels more secure for game time but everyone is going Barnes

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

      Barnes because he loves shooting

    3. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Barnes does love shooting. But Rodgers comments the other day hinted that he may ease Barnes back in and with nacho and daka on the bench, I don’t seem why he wouldn’t!

  28. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Had a feeling I had gone pretty template, but seen my exact team every 2 pages or so.

    Bit concerned

  29. Woody01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    With a poor GW1 fixture and likely to miss GW4 due to international duty… is it worth starting with Benrahma over Raphinha?

    Bring in Raph later in GW5…

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

      He doubled returned in that “poor fixture” last year 😆

      Leeds don’t have poor fixtures, they are mental

      1. Woody01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        As a Leeds supporter I will always back Raph 🙂 but Benrahma May out-score him over GW1-GW4

    2. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      The way you wrote that, sounds like Benrahma is the one with poor wk1 and missing wk4. But you actually mean the other way round, right?

      1. Woody01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Certainly!

        Any advice?

  30. Krafty Werks
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Final decision?!!

    A - Barnes & Grealish
    B - Greenwood & Gundogan

    Thanks all and good luck!!
