Fantasy Football Scout’s very own Mark Sutherns has been discussing Gameweek 2 thoughts and his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team over on our YouTube channel.

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.

In his latest video, the FPL BlackBox co-host is joined by video regular Andy.

Manchester City are on the agenda, as the pair discuss their line-up thoughts and ponder what to do with Ilkay Gundogan (£7.5m).

The arrival of Martin Odegaard (£5.5m) at Arsenal, and the potential impact on Emile Smith Rowe (£5.5m), is also cause for discussion.

Mark and Andy chat about price rises and their approach to them before captaincy and next week’s plans comes under the spotlight

        Yes, I'm cool with that. I set up my GW1 squad to BB in GW2. That means I have 2 keepers and a Brighton defender, plus Tsimi. I want to lose the keeper in my next 2FT, and Tsimi will be redundant. If I don't BB now, with 2x4m defenders with a good chance of CS, and 2 operating goalkeepers, I won't get a chance in the future.

          Good point re: the BB - the other school of thought is to BB for a DGW of course, but that tends to be a damp squib so you're probably onto something

      Why not make your preferred changes and bus team on Friday evening after pressers. Nothing really changes much by Saturday deadline apart from Friday night deadlines and a few rumors and whispers of who might start in the early kickoff. That way even if you forget the Saturday deadline you should be good.
