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.

    Am I gtg? Or do I need to start Livra?

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo James
    Salah(C) Son Foden Mbuemo
    Jesus Antonio Toney

    Foster; Livramento Duffy Brownhill

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’d start Livra over one of Toney/Mbeumo

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

        Same… but I can’t decide which one… and I just know the one that I bench will be the one that scores a hat trick

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

          Would lean playing Toney given he is on penalties, is the better finisher and is higher owned

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

          Toney is a Newcastle reject so he has special motivation this week

    Would you Havertz & Foden to Son(c) & Gallagher for a hit ?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If you think Foden will definitely miss this weekend, and you aren't interested in him long term, then I would. I think I'd focus more on the Havertz to Son move (imagine you'd need a downgrade elsewhere to afford it).

      The armband makes it just a yes

      ….?

      1. Pigeon
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Something went wrong there. Was meant to say those to Kane + 6m or less FWD for a hit and start Livra. Or save transfer and start either Livra or Armstrong

        1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Feels sensible to wait and see on Spurs… Kane only has one goal all season after all. Especially for a hit

          1. Pigeon
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Feel the same way. Plus Vardy still has good fixtures so hoping he can crack on again. Who would you start between Livra and Armstrong?

            1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              Probably Livra if I had to gamble between South clean sheet or Armstrong goal. Assist potential too. And loads of others will have him…

    C) Gallagher

    I'm thinking Benrahma...

    1. Can’t beat em so&hell…

      Yeah, agree unless you have Toney

  15. Can’t beat em so&hell…
    • 12 Years

    So.. do I now have the right starting 11?

    Foster
    TAA, Cancelo, Livra
    Salah, Jota, Raphina, Galla, Mbeumo
    Kane, Antonio

    Ramsdale/ Rudiger/ Hwang/ White

    Would you rather:

    a) Chilwell+Mbeumo

    b) Reguilon+Jota

      a, just.
      although if you already have a Chelsea defender maybe b.

  17. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which move?

    A: Vardy -> Wilson, 5.5 itb
    B: Toney(have Mbeumo) -> Wilson, 1.4 itb

    Future plan is to bring in Foden+Cancelo+Chilly(if I do A), and can't do those moves if I do B.

    1. Can’t beat em so&hell…
      • 12 Years

      B. Long term plans never work out

    2. Sun Jihai

    Which two to bench? (Can't bench both Livra and Chilwell)

    A) Hwang
    B) Toney
    C) ESR
    D) Livra
    E) Chilwell

    Currently benching ESR and Livra...

    Why is everyone eying up wilson, is there something I'm missing?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think nostalgia mainly for his performances at Bournemouth under Howe. Think a lot don't really realise though that Newcastle don't have the same attacking ability around Wilson that Bournemouth did in their better period (apart from ASM). A lot are looking for someone to enable Son too. Surprised next to no-one has been going for ASM though, I suppose not knowing where exactly he'll play doesn't help but he still had a number of games where he was excellent in such a poor team before Newcastle became even more defensive

    B) Havertz& Raph > Son Gallagher

    1. House Frey Wedding Planner

      Probably B to give you Spurs coverage in the next 4

      Tough one though as both are good moves.

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

      Just A.
      Raph to Gallagher is sideways, waste of a transfer

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

        Presuming that transfer is to generate funds for Son, so not really sideways...

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

          Exactly, can't get son with 1transfer unfortunately

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

          Point taken.
          Would still wait on Son, find another way to get him without missing out on Jota.

    3. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      wouldn't trade raph so a.

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

        Just to bring in son for his fixtures and i cant see raph outscoring gallagher for the next 3

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

          difference of opinion, I can see Raphinha outscoring Gallagher personally.

      • 3 Years

      According to City website he trained as normal and wasn't highlighted as having any issues, so hope he'll play

  27. FantasyClub
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Guys this is my last question before I make one of these moves…which one?

    Vardy ➡️ Ronaldo (C) -4

    Vardy & Mount ➡️ Wilson & Son(C) -8

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

      I think I'd hold the transfer rather than take a hit.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn’t do either, already missed out on Sons rise and Vardy has a nice run ahead. Only one I’d consider selling is Mount

    3. NABIL - FPL otai

      Hold your fire

  28. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Ramsdale - Sanchez*
    White - Duffy - Livramento - Lowton - Jansson*
    Salah - Havertz* - Gallagher - ESR - Gray*
    Ronaldo* - Vardy* - Antonio

    1 x FT, 0.7m ITB, * willing to ship

    Any ideas?

    A. Save FT ready for a Ronnie to Kane move next week, whilst also upgrading Havertz/Gray or defender with second FT?
    B. Sanchez > Guiata or McCarthy
    C. Jansson > Spurs def, or wait until next week?

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

      I would say A but trading cr7 before United's favourable run, not sure about that.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Hold and assess if you still like the look of A or C next week. I wouldn’t do B unless I had a FT to burn but I think you’d be best suited saving and going into next week with 2FT’s

    3. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers both and agreed
