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.

    Opinions?

    Sanches, foster
    Taa, digne, shaw, ayling, tsmi
    Bruno, salah, Son, raphinha, gilmour
    Ings, Toney, obafemi

    Or downgrade ings to Antonio?

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio > Ings regardless of price imo. nice team fella!

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Digne to white. Toney to Antonio/Wilson

  2. Neves say Neves
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    A) Toney + Mahrez
    B) Ings + Gundo

    1. DavidHopkin
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Same with Wilson below. Confused. Not sure on Gundo

  3. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Best pick?

    A. Ings, Wilson (Gilmour)
    B. Mahrez, Toney (Perica)

    Sanchez. Foster
    TAA. Shaw. Tsimikas. White. Ayling
    Salah. Bruno. Raph. Barnes. XXX
    Antonio. XXX. XXX

    1. Neves say Neves
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Wilson is a contender for me too (as is Bamford). KDB-less Gundo seems like a no brainer but I'm just concerned as to whether hrealish starting alongside gundo makes him less attacking? Plus the consensus seems to be that Mahrez is on pens... what are you thinking?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Prefer Mahrez much more

        1. Neves say Neves
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          why's that?

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Greedy and more attacking

  4. The Big Larsbowski
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Only question left: Dias vs Spurs or White vs Brentford

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

    Steele, Dias, Bissouma, Scarlett

  5. Gymer11
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Ayling or veltman ?

    Got Sanchez in goal.

    1. DavidHopkin
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I’ve gone for ayling. Didn’t want double Brighton.

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        This

    2. The Mighty One

      Ay.

    3. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Ive gone Ayling, more for long term

  6. AF90
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Play one:

    A) Tsimikas
    B) Raphinha

    1. The Mighty One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Both...sit someone else. Sit Raph if forced.

    2. DavidHopkin
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      B. (If you have TAA). Not sure I trust double Liverpool defence and higher chance of attacking returns from Raph.

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A

    4. Riska
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm on Tsim currently with Raph first bench.

      1. Kobrakai
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Same, i went A with raph first bench

    5. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A

  7. C_G
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    pick one

    Digne Barnes & Antonio

    OR

    TAA Benrahma & Toney

    1. The Mighty One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      b

  8. Gabbiadini
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Sorry for the repost.

    Sanchez | Steele
    TAA | Shaw | Ayling | ... | Tsimikas
    Salah | Bruno | ... | Buendia | Benrahma
    Ings | ... | Toney

    a) Amartey, Son & Scarlett
    b) Veltman, Raphinha & Antonio (Raphinha on bench gw1 rotating with Benrahma gw2 and Toney gw3 (is it too difficult to try and predict))

    Cheers.

        Thanks.

  10. iL PiStOlErO
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    So better to go Mahrez then Grealish? Or even some third city mid?

    1. LLoris
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      mahrez for now

    2. Gabbiadini
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      mahrez

  11. LLoris
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Last Decision. Which One?

    A) Beundia (1M ITB for Mahrez to Son)
    B) Barnes (Upgrade White to Coufal)
    C) DCL (Downgrade Shaw to Coufal)

    1. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A looks a good choice

  12. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Choose one between
    Mahrez & Son

    1. LLoris
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      mahrez first 2 then son

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Riyad

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years

      Cheeers

  13. cjhewitt92
    • 12 Years

    Wonder what people thoughts are early seasons with crowds back. Will boost home team attackers.

  14. mr messi

    Any comments, I've. 5 in the bank and can't see where to spend it

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Tsim
    Raphina Bruno Salah Barnes
    Ings Antonio Toney

    Steele Coufal Gilmour Ayling

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Depends how Toney does. I’m 50:50 on him

  15. Woyofthewovers66

    4 years, 6 months ago

    Hi all. For the first time ever I am going with a GW1 BB. I am usually quite firmly in the camp of DGW usage, however the opportunity of a second Liverpool defender vs Norwich, two Arsenal ‘starters’ vs a newly promoted team and a quality keeper option (to downgrade almost immediately to free up funds) tempted me to use it.

    It hasn’t affected my first choice XI, and I was always going to waste my GW1 transfer, so I will get chance to use that transfer to get a no -playing keeper.

    Also, it is like using two chips in the same week without having to plan it for weeks in advance and inhibit my lineup over that period. What are people’s thoughts on this line up?

    Martinez
    TAA coufal targett
    Salah. Son. Barnes. Raphina
    Ings. Antonio. Toney

    Schmeichel. ESR. Tsimikas. White

    1. Bedok
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      BB is a crap shoot anyway so why not? Only downside is GW1 is usually so nuts with templates disappointing and big points from forgotten players. GW1 is unpredictable for starting lineups but why not. Go for it.

      • 16 Years

      Tbh that's a pretty decent BB Squad

      1. Woyofthewovers66
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, that’s why I thought. As much of a gamble as GW1 can be, most of these players are quite important to their teams so should start. At first I thought it was a big risk, but I’m not relying on key players who have returned from the euros, so GW1 seems the most likely week that this group will have the best chance to all start

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I am going with the same strategy and logic. Going without Bruno unlocks it perfectly. I might even do Salah to Bruno in GW3 as looking to WC very early.

          Here's how I'm setting up:

          Schmeichel Sanchez
          TAA Shaw Tsimikas Coufal Veltman
          Salah Mahrez Greenwood (TBD) Barnes Benrahma
          Antonio Ings Toney

          1. Woyofthewovers66
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

          2. Woyofthewovers66
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Nice set up, hopefully it works out for you (because then it likely will have for me too)

    Remember to get your (c) (vc) and bench in order....

    This basic concept gets overlooked too often with the likes of Xg Xcs etc ...

    Crack this and your rank will easily rise ^^^

    Good Luck all on the new FPL Season ❤

    The last conundrum:
    A) Gundogan, Ings, Toney
    B) Torres, Antonio, Wilson

  18. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Is it madness considering Ferran Torres over benrahma (as I have 1m itb), that gw2 fixture is getting too hard to ignore

    1. FPL_Crisis

      I chickened out

  19. Bubz

    If Grealish so much as gets an assist vs Spurs he will be bought en masse. Might just start with him

    Last spot gundogan or greenwood?

    1. kysersosa

      Gund

    2. Ady87

      Greenwood week 1 then move to Gundo for Norwich

    3. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I’m going Greenwood

  21. Tmel

    Is Brownhill on any set pieces?

    Someone talk me out of Richarlison,please.

    1. Ady87

      I like it

    2. Riska
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      I'm on him too.

      1. Ady87
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Would you have DCL if you had the .5m?

        1. The 12th Man
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I wouldnt.
          No preseason for Dom. Plus Rich more likely to be on pens.

        2. Riska
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          It's a fair question but no, in fact I do have the .5 in the bank but I'd rather keep it right where it is as a contingency. I think Rich has probably had the best pre-season of anyone, has got to be riding a high right now. DCL more or a risk for me Vs a Gold Medal winning, Golden boot winning Olympian who seems well up for jumping straight into the new season

  24. Hughes Your Daddy

    Will Wener start?

  25. sunzip14

  27. Hog Roast Junkie

    • 11 Years
    4 years, 6 months ago

    Last decision
    A) Ings and Digne (343)
    B) Mahrez and Ayling (352)

    1. Gandalf

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Would downgrade

    2. PDM TOP 1,000 any Season rc…
      • 16 Years

      Hammer or Villa DEF maybe

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I’m on Coufal or Cash. With 2 villa in my team already I’m leaning towards Coufal.

    3. Hog Roast Junkie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Why replace Digne?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He may be one of the 5 having to isolate. It’s not known who 2 of the 5 are, others have been named/suggested.
