Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 12 preview and latest team plans

Andy North and Mark Sutherns are back after the internationals, with the latter breaking a recent hiatus from Blackbox to chat Fantasy Premier League (FPL) once again.

Mark is recording for our subscribers every Gameweek throughout the upcoming campaign, so sign up via this link in order to see his regular appearances.

With four new manager appointments, a clamour for Spurs attacking assets and the regular flirtation with an alternative to Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) as captain, there’s plenty for Andy and Mark to chew over.

And of course, they dip into their own teams to chat their current thinking ahead of Saturday’s much anticipated deadline.

Subscribers can view the embedded video below:

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    which two should I start?
    a) saka (liv)
    b) mbeumo (new)
    c) veltman (avl)
    d) coady (WHU)

    1. SoulShakinTex

    is Foden fit to play ?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      My guess is 85% chance of starting

  3. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Evening.

    Start Foster or Ramsdale?

    1. Mackans
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Foster, since Liverpool is the only team that has scored in every game this season

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Foster. Big gap in ability between Arsenal and Liverpool. Not so much between Man Utd and Watford.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think I'm leaning Ramsdale
      Better keeper, better team
      If Salah (c) gets a penalty, I don't lose out if it is saved

  4. Mackans
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What would you do and why?

    A. Havertz -> Jota (free)
    B. Havertz & Vardy -> Gallagher & Kane (-4)

    1. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    1. shortbanana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Havertz + Antonio > Son + Hwang makes more sense, but even then I dunno considering you already have Kane.

  8. Il Capitano

    Foster

  9. Rubberducky

    Which team do you reckon will get more points (I’m looking at the midfielders really) Crystal Palace or West Ham both seem to be against easy fixtures?

  11. Galactic_Koopa

    Foden -> Jota so I can afford Kane?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Foden arguably a better option than Jota this week unless you think he doesn't start

  12. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Serious question (ok believe it or not)...
    Play Raphinha or Pukki?

  16. Ajay04

    Havertz > Lucas Moura for free worth it?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      No, too punty I think without seeing another Spurs game

    2. acidicleo

      nooo

  17. Maxwell6
    • 3 Years

    B) Grealish + Saka + Vardy to Gallagher + Cornet + Kane for -4
    C) use WC

    Trying again, sorry. Bench two, please?

    A) Livra
    B) Reguilion

    3. SoulShakinTex

      Thanks! And why do I have such a hard time just benching Pukki?

  20. smash
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would anyone start Broja over Gallagher this week?

    1. SoulShakinTex
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

      1. smash
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Hmmm even if Broja doesn't start you don't fancy him coming on against a tired defence? could be a Norwich new manager bounce tbf

    2. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      no

    3. SoulShakinTex
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I actually somehow think Norwich could go and get something from that game. Which is why I just don’t bench Pukki without a thought, see above.

      1. smash
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah I wouldn't be surprised tbh new manager could inspire them, same with Villa so maybe bench Trossard for that reason?

        1. smash
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I'll resist starting Broja over Gallagher, moment of madness on my part I think

          Cheers guys

        2. SoulShakinTex
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I am benching Trossard and Livra at the moment for that very reason. But I also have Kane/Son/Wilson, and we’re probably not going to have four happily bouncing new managers at a time 😉

          1. smash
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Maybe Eddie Howe will have to wait a week as he has Covid right? (I've got Wilson also) still hopefully the bounce works for them all!

  21. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who to play:

    1. Jimenez (WHU)
    2. Mbeumo (new)

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Jiménez

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Very worried he’s going to be benched

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yes just reading he got back Thursday and Lage saying they will be careful with him so can see appearance from bench so on reflection Mbeumo probably safer option

  22. putana

      Question of the week. I went with all four and might have overdone it.

  24. Coaly
    • 11 Years

    Start Smith-Rowe (liv) or Semedo (WHU)?

  27. Drogba Legend

    Start Livra or Dias?

    1. Hart-ake

      Dias

  28. Hazz

    Gallagher due to rise again wtf?

    1. Bergkamps second touch
      • 5 Years

      Yep, mental. Might get him now. Or Bernardo... Can't decide.

  29. SpaceCadet

    Really can’t figure out what to do here. Any suggestions? 2 fts, 0.6m itb

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would improve bench - perhaps Omo to Mitchell or Sarr to Bowen

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Forget getting Kane/ son?

    3. SoulShakinTex
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You seem ok. Sarr to Bowen/Cornet/Trossard (or Omo to Mitchell/Johnson) instead of burning a FT?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Had thought of getting one of Kane/ son this gw. Wait another gw for that?

        1. SoulShakinTex
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Havertz and/or Vardy would have to go? I’d give it another week.

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks mate. Would have lost havertz and Vardy for Kane and Bernardo. Tempted to pull the trigger

            1. SoulShakinTex
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Understand the temptation. From my experience, Vardy will come back to haunt you if you do it, and he’ll keep blanking if you don’t.

              1. SpaceCadet
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Haha just pulled the trigger mate. Would have been outpriced as Kane and Bernardo both seem be rising.

              2. SpaceCadet
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 5 months ago

                Vardy brace incoming

  30. I Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Play Jimenez (WHU) or Raphinha (tot)?

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Raph

    2. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I really can't figure out the manager's comments about Jimenez. It looks so wrong to have an unflagged Jimenez on the bench, but I hate to go against the team news on here.
