Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 4 preview and latest team plans

Fantasy Football Scout founder Mark Sutherns is back ahead of Gameweek 4 to offer his latest musings and reveal his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) line-up over on our YouTube channel.

This video 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 this latest episode, the FPL BlackBox co-host is joined, as always, by Andy North.

Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) is, inevitably, the big talking point although with Andy’s Wildcard in play, there’s plenty more to cover.

Mark offers a review of Andy’s re-work, though he’s reluctant to offer any form of persuasion when it comes to the one final dilemma remaining: whether to opt for Ronaldo or Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m).

Find out why Mark has his own agenda on that matter and which way Andy is leaning by taking in this latest video offering for members.

    Assuming I go with this team:

    Sanchez
    TAA / Shaw / Semedo
    Salah / Jota / Raphinha* / Traore
    Ronaldo / Antonio / DCL

    Steele // White / Bissouma / Livramento

    I am not planning any transfers apart from Ronaldo/Shaw > Lukaku/James in GW7. This would leave me 'wasting' a FT before then hypothetically. Given that is the case - who at 6.5m or under would be the best punt (or should I not go with the punt?)

    Also, Bissouma (4.6m) or an alternative 4.5M mid? Triple Brighton given the GKs!

    Many thanks.

        You are right. It feels like the boring play though - especially when I could let Benrahma have one final crack of the whip for example. Toughie.

      Problem with A is you simply cannot get Raphinha, for example, without selling Ronaldo/Shaw/Christensen (assuming you keep Lukaku/Salah/TAA etc.)

      If going for A I would downgrade Christensen to a 4.5m DEF.

      I've done Bruno, Wilson, Ings to Jota, Ronaldo & DCL for minus 8. So I'd say yes.
      Ings next 4 fixtures, Bruno losing pens to Ronaldo, DCL form, fixtures, penalties makes it a viable justification. Over the next 3 or 4 games I'm expecting to be in profit. I'm also captaining Ronaldo at least once in the next 3.

      Jota likely to go up tonight.
