Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 1 preview and team reveal: No Salah?

Not got your Mark Sutherns fix this week after his enforced no-show on FPL BlackBox?

Well, you can still catch the Godfather of FPL before Friday’s Gameweek 1 deadline on our live stream this evening.

It all gets underway at 21:15 BST.

The four-time top 1k finisher will be joining Andy North for a chinwag and a team reveal on the eve of the new Fantasy Premier League season. Is he really going to go without Mohamed Salah (£13.0m)…?

Only Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout will be able to watch the video below, so make sure you sign up today to get access to tonight’s stream and exclusive YouTube content from Mark throughout the 2022/23 campaign.

    Final. This has overall balance and manouverability in transfermarket. Kane, Håland, Salah, Jesus kombo was tempting, but it's so risky. This has also two playing subs.

    Sanchez /Ward
    TAA, Robbo, Dias, Botman (Neco)
    Salah, Saka, Mount, Bailey (Andreas)
    Kane, Jesus (Archer)

      Lovely structure, I've gone for one 8m mid

    2. Raiser153
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Looks good

    3. luk46
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      reckon Dias + Botman come close to Cancelo + Gabriel/Trippier?

      1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Cant afford

      2. luk46
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        ye, Martinelli closer to Saka than these two to the ones I mentioned imo

  2. King Kun Ta
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Bailey or Rashford? Ta lads!

    1. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Obviously Rashford, but its not as simple as that. There is a 1.5m difference.

      1. Hinchcliffe Thumper
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        That difference is why i have Bailey

        1. King Kun Ta
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Besides three defenders our team are the same

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Lol clearly rash

    3. King Kun Ta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      And if it comes to Mount or Rashford?

  3. Bob B

    Ward & Iverson
    TAA Cancelo James
    Salah Diaz Saka Neto Bailey

    Bench: Neco Patterson Archer

    Weighing up:

      1. WVA

        Wasn't expecting this, how come?

        1. luk46
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Ramsdale will definitely score as much as Ederson if not more, Robertson is really consistent and you kinda need 3 Liverpool players! Also, theres some uncertainty over Perisic…

          1. WVA
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Arsenal won't keep as many clean sheets as City bru but yeah desperately want Robbo

            1. luk46
              • 5 Years
              1 year, 9 months ago

              well, probably not, but Ramsdale loves some bonus points and will get more saves too

      B will get more points per game, and will also play more games.

      Expected ppg:
      ------
      Ederson 4.2

      Perisic 5.4
      ------
      Ramsdale 4.0

  5. N00B

    1. WVA

      Do you want money or points?

      I'd be on this team but feel an 8m mid is too important

  9. Inspector Norse

    • 5 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    I'm tinkering...

    Been on Martinelli, but Rashford worth a punt first 2 GWs given Martial situation?

    Ward - Iversen
    James - TAA - Walker - Trippier - Neco
    Rash/Martinelli - Salah - Kulu - Mount - Bailey
    Haaland - Jesus - 4.5

    Not given who I'll bench in GW1 though, ahhhhh FPL is back!

  10. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    I've got 1m itb and was looking at get Sterling.
    A are my current picks, are either of the other two options worth it?

    A. Ederson/ward, Robbo & Martinelli +1m
    B. Iversen/Ward, Perisic & Sterling
    C. Raya/Ward, Zinchencko & Sterling

    Saka or mount?

    1. luk46

      Mount if you have Martinelli

  12. Aye
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Mahrez or Maddison?

    Or other (not Diaz)

    1. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mahrez

    2. The Pesci challenge

      Mahrez

    3. ebb2sparky
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Maddison has been in all my drafts but now considering changing to a 433 and getting Wilson instead. I’ve been burnt by city mids (not kdb) too many times.

  13. cravencottage

    Not the most exciting question, but

    A) Aronson
    B) Bailey

  15. cmj23

    1 year, 9 months ago

    Need help deciding

    Current team
    Team A
    Ward - Henderson
    Trent - Walker - zinchenko- dalot - Williams
    Martenelli- salah- baily- pereria- Bruno.g
    Kane- Haaland- Jesus

    Thinking to change to

    Team B
    Ward - Henderson
    Trent - Jansson - white - dalot - Williams
    Saka- salah- baily- pereria- son
    Taylor - Haaland- Jesus

    Which team you guys thinks the best ?

  16. Devos
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    a) Cancelo + Darwin + 0.5
    b) Walker/Trippier + Haaland

    1. Takamba
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I have this dilemma too. Assuming you have Salah, and no Man City attackers, think B might be better. Also a risk Darwin doesn’t start, and you’ll prob want to captain Haaland GW2.

      1. Devos
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I don't have any City attackers because I don't trust pep roulette. I also don't like premium attackers. Darwin is my compromise. But then again, Klopp and his press conferences also make me doubt my decisions. The real questions is, will Darwin be first choice in the near future or is he going to be rotated with Firmino and Jota through the whole season?

        Salah cap against Palace should do though, so that's not an argument here.

        Not sure he’ll get the mins / score Saka will.

        Did think about it

    2. goriuanx
      • 13 Years

      Ramsdale over Mendy surely?

      Also keep R and N. Good luck

        Easy decision for me.

        Can use Neto on occasion if I need to

  20. Drip Doctor

    Is anyone gambling on Fofana? Seems likely he'll get his move to Chelsea. 4.5m Chelsea CB, save a transfer down the line.

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years

      Not yet at least

      Other more exciting options

    2. goriuanx

      Perisic

  23. WVA

    A. Mount

      Robertson easily

        Thank you, very interesting, means 532 over 442

    2. Eisjh

      Very good, I would be tempted to sacrifice Cancelo to upgrade Dalot and White

      1. Gareth M
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Thanks. Could be James, 5.0, 5.0 yeah

      2. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        I agree maybe bring in Matip or James for cancello which will allow you upgrade both to digne/zinc or other 5m defenders

    2. rocrocodile
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Nice team, and interesting to see Son as a part of a threemium. I like it as a, eh, punt (as many seem to go Kane).

      I would also consider dropping Cancelo if your'e going for it. Cancelo + 4,5 equals James + Perisic, right? I'd rather have them both than Cancelo.

  25. shirtless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    My 12 year olds team. A little bit different.

    Reya/Ward
    Trent James Dias Perisic
    Salah Son(c) Rashford Bailey
    Nunez Jesus

    Andreas Wiliams Greenwood

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      The sort of team to get 100 points in GW1

    2. rocrocodile

      He's gonna beat us all.

        Sorry he is a she!

  26. rocrocodile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    I've been on a threemium since launch, but are starting to get cold feet.

    A) Raya / Jonny / Walker / Kane
    or
    B) Ramsdale / Cancelo / Perisic / Diaz

    4.5 mid in A, 4.5 striker in B.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      This is a very easy answer

      Ramsdale outscores Raya
      Cancelo outscores Jonny
      Perisic outscores Walker
      Does Kane (C) outscore more than the above 3 combined?

      1. rocrocodile
