FPL Gameweek 34 Q&A and Mark Sutherns’ Free Hit draft

It’s the day before another deadline, so it’s time for the one and only Mark Sutherns’ take on the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) landscape.

Mark is once again joined by Andy North but in a slight deviation from the usual format, the pair step in for Az and Sam to host our weekly Q&A video.

It’s a charity special, too, as all the money raised from the Super Chats is going to Street Child United.

Our co-hosts will also be discussing their own team and transfer plans for Gameweek 34, with Mark revealing his Free Hit draft.

Technical issues (would you expect anything less?) means that the video is cut into two parts, both of which are below.

    If no Spurs (going for KDB instead of Son)

    B. Kulu

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Has to be Saka against woeful United

        Nketiah is value

    2. GE

      B

  2. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    A. Ronaldo + Kulu + Ramsey + Laporte + Tsimi
    B. Mateta + Mane (have Salah) + KDH + Laporte + Emerson Royal (have Davies)

    Start Ramsdale or Sar?

      Sa.

    Thinking of doing Kane/Raph -> Werner/Mount -4
    Is Tierney to Cancelo worth another -4? (bench KWP)

    Dubravka
    James TAA KWP
    Salah Son Saka Martinelli Raph
    Kane Mateta

    Sa Hwang Doherty Tierney

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Tierney to Cancelo is worth the hit imo.

      Yes it is

    New crowd, what do you think guys:

    On FH, what set up would you rather have double attack / double defence:

    1. Liverpool
    A. Trent Jota Salah
    B. Trent Matip Salah

    2. City
    A. Laporte KDB Sterling
    B. Laporte Cancelo Sterling

        Oh, sorry think I’ve misunderstood - one has to be double attack and the other double defence? If so, 1A and 2B

        1. Weak Become Heros
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 days ago

          No you’re fine, I have both options options open to me. Just want to make sure I nail highest ceiling whilst getting all players on the pitch to start.

    6. Cheeky Onion
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      1B2A for me - both options should work however

  6. AllyS
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 days ago

    WC team:

    Schmeichel Foster
    TAA Robertson Cancelo Laporte Alonso
    Salah Mount Havertz KDB KDH
    Pukki Nketiah Mateta

    Is the lack of spurs cover an issue?

    1. GE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Very similar to mine, have Kulusevski and Dennis and money itb instead of Havertz and Nketiah.
      Very afraid of Son though, but that means KDB -> Son or Salah -> Mane and other downgrades

      1. AllyS
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 days ago

        Thanks.

        Yes Son worries me but fancy KDB against Watford. Equally Havertz feels better than Kulu for this week

  7. glufs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Will Fofana be first choice for Leiceser?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Yes, classy defender.

    2. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Yes but probably saved for European games

  8. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 days ago

    Play Sa away at Burnley or Schmeichel home to Aston Villa?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Schmeichel

    2. AllyS
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Schmeichel

  9. RAFA THE GAFFA

    Scout picks tonight?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Lets hope so.

      Thoughts on Wood as sole striker on my FH Rafa?

      Looking at Norwich stats I think Wood could get some good return as a one week punt on FH.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 days ago

        I think he’s the only flop we’ve bought tbh. Looks dreadful. You never know against Norwich but I wouldn’t personally advise. Also watch out for a little rotation this week after so many games and safety now assured

        1. Weak Become Heros
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 7 days ago

          Yeah I read between the lines in what Howe said in his presser but who would the alternative be to Wood?

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 7 days ago

            Yeah we have nothing else that’s whys he’s played haha. Very few points in him though, Mayaswel go pukki?

            1. Weak Become Heros
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 7 days ago

              I like your defence, fancy you to hold off Norwich.

    2. Claudio555

      Seems like they post Scout Picks very late on Fridays nowadays

  10. DV8R

    Is this worth a -4?

    Weghorst + Raph -> Mateta + Mount

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      dont like mateta

  11. Cheeky Onion
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 days ago

    How's the transfer plan looking?

    GW 34 - Royal > Alonso
    GW 35 - Roll
    GW36 - De Gea > Mendy/Schmeichel
    GW36 - Edouard > Pukki
    GW36 -
    Broja > Dennis/Nketiah (-4)
    OR
    Bachmann > Foster (-4)

  12. Jon Snow
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 days ago

    Thoughts on Kulu + Maddison >>> KDH + Mount?

    martinely, wood , sancho

  15. JoeSoap

    Anything better than Rudiger>Laporte?

    1FT (zero in bank) & not sure I want a Chelsea defender plus playing BB GW36. Any suggestions appreciated.

    Ramsdale
    White, Trent, Cancelo
    Saka, Kulu, Salah, Raphina
    Kane, Wegworst, Toney
    Foster, Doherty, Rudiger, Ramsey

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Assume you would play him instead of White. I have brought in Laporte. He is a threat and City have decent defence so why not.

      1. JoeSoap
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 days ago

        Thanks

  16. Tmel

    Worth losing any of the following to fund Havertz, Mount or Werner?

    a) TAA
    b) Robertson
    c) Kane (would allow me to afford two Chelsea attackers)
    d) No

    I'm FHing in GW36 so can bring whichever player I lose back in for that GW

    Salah or havertz for cap?

    1. AllyS
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Havertz

    2. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Risk the doubler

    3. Akeem

      Hav...Salah is fasting and it shows

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 days ago

        Wasn’t evident in his performance v United

        1. Akeem
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 7 days ago

          The United game was after sunset...so he wasn't fasting then

          1. artvandelay316
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 7 days ago

            He hasn't suffered drops in performance previous years during this time. And if he wasn't fasting against United then how can you have seen him to say that "it shows"?

            1. Akeem
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 7 days ago

              He's played 3 games this ramadan while fasting: Watford, City and City (FA Cup) blanked in all three and performed poorly in general in all three IMO.
              Also the Everton game kicks in a really bad time for a fasting person: the game will be played fully before sunset so he won't be able to break the fast, but is also so late that he'd have been fasting the whole day still

          2. Grande Tubarão
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 7 days ago

            I think the Utd game was more about the quality of the opposition rather than when he’d last eaten

    4. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      I think I’m going for Havertz

    1. AnfieldLad

      Probably B

  20. The Big Fella
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 days ago

    Within the myriad of similar posts showcasing our FH/WC teams to the world, I will contribute also:
    Schmeichel / Foster
    James; Cancelo; TAA; Robbo; Amartey
    Salah; Son; Havertz; Kulusevski; KDH
    Mateta; Pukki; Dennis

    So, I am unsure about James and Havertz. The latter may now not play up front or if he does, may not play every game because Lukaku is back. I also wonder if I can/should somehow squeeze Saka into the team, possibly at the expense of Kulusevski. Pretty much all my players will play a double in GW36 and I will BB. I will save FTs for that week and bring in three DGW players for 37.

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      I don’t think it’s so much that Lukaku’s ‘back’. He was always available as far as I know - just rotated in for a game and flopped again. Havertz should continue up front imo

      1. Grande Tubarão
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 7 days ago

        I’d slightly favour Saka over Kulu I think but don’t think there’s much in it

        1. The Big Fella
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 7 days ago

          Yeah but I have to find another 400k that I don't have which means selling people. I could downgrade Schmeichel I suppose...... The thing is, when Arsenal play well they play very nice football and look like they can beat anybody and Saka is one of the best players plus he is on pens. The problem is they are still Arsenal and can't seem to sustain it. What do you think about James?

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      i'm thinking of losing Saka for Hav

      Lukaku was awful last game

      1. The Big Fella
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 7 days ago

        Lukaku has been awful since he arrived but Tuchel's comments appear to suggest he will give him a (yet another) shot at playing over the next few GWs. Surely this is at Havertz's expense?

  21. kennethrhcp
