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.

    The more I watch the highlights, the more I like Traore. He has been phenomenal in those 3 games. Even the finishes in the big chances he wasted weren't necessarily bad. A bit unfortunate.

        Yeah, that's what I wanted to write too actually. Another thing is that his pace was great against teams that play higher, if some team like Watford gonna defend deep, then he could struggle a bit.

          I think at 7.1m he’s amazing value, even if he gets the odd benching. He’s City’s first choice striker imo. Of course you run the risk of him being benched though. Greenwood is a great option too but might not be as effective with Ronaldo on the pitch

            There’s also Man Utd’s fixtures turning soon, players returning and potentially turning Greenwood into a rotation risk. I prefer the gamble on Torres personally

          My personal belief is that Ronny indeed takes them - he comes with an immediate seniority, I can't see anyone could really question it. Bruno the obvious competition, and Bruno is in absolute awe of him, a hero and inspiration growing up.

          Suppose Ole's words cast a little doubt, but for me I think Ronny will be no.1 choice for sure.

          Good chance we might find out tomorrow, the roof will be coming off OT and United will be all over Newcastle like a rash from the start, I'm convinced.

    Feels like a really pivotal week.

    Ronaldo will get a 1 point cameo or 13+ point haul.

    I can get him with a -8 and Son being injured makes -4 pretty inevitable….

    Kane > Ronaldo or Lukaku for a -4?

    Thinking with Son & Bergwyn out there will be a lack of service to Kane so a hit could be worth it.

    I prefer Lukaku for this fixture but Ronaldo over the next 3... Help me decide please

      Subbing Kane before good fixture is asking for pain!

    Sanchez (Steele)

    TAA Christensen Coady (Williams Livra)

    Salah Jota Benrahma Greenwood (Allan)

    Ronaldo Antonio DCL

    Is Christensen the right 5m defender?

    If we know the Man Utd squad and there’s no Fred of Cavani, do we know the Man City squad?

    Thinking of doing Ings to Jiminez

    Then have 2FT next week to rectify things if Ronaldo goes crazy

    Fair approach right given the ambiguity for GW4

      Not a bad move

      He could do great over the next few

        Yep I think reasonable one off approach. Not stupid enough to ignore Ronaldo but I think will let the brave/foolish go first

        Would kick myself if Bruno does well and I ditch him...

      Yeah … it was jimi or DCL or Bamford for me …. Down to Jimi or Bamford now and I’m going to wards Jimi in the hope that his stats suddenly turn into actual reruns this week.

    For any Members interested I've made a quick table to compare midfield fodder (4.7m and under)

    https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/53223/

    Not a huge dataset currently, but maybe it'll help your decision. Ears peeled for recommendations on alternative stats to include.
