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.

  2. AnyoneButLiverpool

    Is it stupid to go for Robertson instead of TAA??

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

      Yes

    2. Abra
      • 2 Years

      Very

    3. Bleh
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’m considering VVD instead of him lol

    4. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, VVD is a better option than Robbo

    5. Khark
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd probably look elsewhere completley feels like you're just trying to fit someone in coz you cant afford TTA. Not sure id want VVD or Robbo to be honest

  3. cfreel

    A) Ings to Jimenez
    B) Ings and Bruno to Ronaldo and Torres (-4)
    C) Ings, Bruno and Tsimi to Ronaldo, Jota and Tierney/Semedo (-8)

    TC93 3 Years1 day, 15 hours ago
    bviously dependant on team news on Friday but lets say everything turns out to be okay, which of these two options to bring in CR7. (Don’t have enough to just do Bruno and Toney out to bring him in)

    2FT. 0.1 ITB:
    Option A: Bruno/Son/Toney —> CR7 + Torres + Jota (-4) (3-5-2)
    Option B: Bruno/Toney/Son/Pericia —> 4.5 + DCL+ Jota +CR7 (-8) (3-4-3)

    Sanchez
    TAA / Veltman / Shaw
    Salah / Bruno / Raphinha / Benhrama / Son
    Antonio / Toney

    Foster, Ayling, Livramento, Perica...

    1. tc93
      • 5 Years

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ramsdale could be good value if he becomes first choice, but too early to say

      1. Mr-Inbetween
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

  15. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Now that Mexico have allowed Jiminez to play, do we think it’ll be the defunct Super League situation whereby once one caves they all will?

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      There's alrdy been news out that they've all agreed to let them play actually

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      They've already caved. Brazilians can play. Confirmed.

  16. You've got red on you.

    1. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

  17. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any Punty option instead of Raphina for just this GW not Sarr or Gray or Traoré

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Trincao

      1. ilikewud
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This - Looked sharp the games I've watched.

      2. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        The problem is I got Traoré in WC

    2. lugs
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      whoever will take Son's place

    3. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Alli is a cheeky punt

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

        Yeees

    4. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Fornals v Saints?

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

        Yeees am think about him too

    5. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gallagher

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

        Good option too

    6. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      J Lingz?

  18. FourLokoLeipzig
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    So they can all play after all

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

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

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

        Yeah, probably helped that the two worst-affected clubs are two of the most powerful in world football

  19. ilikewud
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    This is the latest (hopefully last draft of my WC)!

    Would you play Raph ahead of White or Coady?

    Sa
    TAA, Shaw, White, Coady
    Salah, Greenwood, Jota
    Lukaku (c), Antonio, Pukki

    Bench: Raph, Sissoko, Williams.

    Anyone up to date on the firmiho/Ronaldo starting/DCL news?

  21. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Why is DCL still flagged?

    1. Saka Rice
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Why wouldn't he be? The manager didn't say he recovered we don't know if he'll start

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

      Carrying an injury

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wasn't a fully clean comment from Benitez, though should be fine especially with the later kick-off

      Benitez on DCL: "He was not fully fit, he was making an effort to be on the pitch, he has been training with pain, so I'm really happy to see him trying in the training sessions even when he's not fully fit. And that is why I'm expecting even more [from him].

  28. GN

    Will DCL start????

    I've read Rafa's comments but I still feel in the dark?

    My move is Ings to DCL or Jiminez. Favouring DCL to spread risk as I have Traore already

    1. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If Rafa didn't say how are any of us supposed to know?

      1. GN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Wasn't sure if I had all the info, but sounds like it's unclear for all of us then

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

      I think it sounded positive. Not going for Ronaldo then?

      1. GN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers. And no, I'll be sitting in the scared camp for now...
