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.

      Are you me? This is my exact team

    Think this may be my final draft. Thoughts?

    Ward

    Salah, Mount, Martinelli
    Jesus, Nunez, Haaland

    Iversen, Bailey, Andreas, N Williams

    Thoughts?

    Mendy
    TAA - Cancelo - Robertson
    Salah - Mount - Martinelli - Neto - Bailey
    Kane - Jesus

    Ward - Neco - Greenwood - Patterson

    GW 2 - Kane + Mount ➡ Haaland + City mid of choice

    This way I get desired City attack for gw 2 and haul potential games of Kane and Mount in gw 1 at the cost of 4. Points.

    No compromises elsewhere as well.

    Worth it?

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Dont like planned transfers, you know the risk.

      1. pundit of punts
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Maybe start with Haaland and just do Mount > Foden/Mahrez

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Not worth it.

    3. Spoox777

      Why would you be taking a -4 hit for GW2?

    If anybody suggests a change to your team, it's just their opinion vs yours and I wouldn't pay much attention to it. Good luck

  6. Feed tha Sheep

    Really can’t make up my mind on Kane v Haaland so need you lot to make it up for me… first to 5 votes wins it…

    A - Kane

      I can see it's going to be a long stressful season for you

      1. boroie
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Is that an A or a B?

        1. Klopp's Kids
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Sounds like a A

    4. Feed tha Sheep
      • 11 Years

      B

    5. Desange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I was A but now moving to B

    6. Wolfman180

      B

    8. jp99
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A

  8. Jason M
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    so after a few tweaks this evening I'm on

    Meslier, Ward
    TAA, Días, Dalot, Collins (Wolves), N Williams
    Salah, KDB, Neto, Bailey, Aaronson
    Kane, Jesus, Archer

    Wolves mate speaks highly of Collins during pre season and should be nailed so he's my differential, this squad takes me through to GW7 with Dalot out after GW2 and no doubt one of the 3 £5m-£5.5m mids will be moved on too.

    thoughts welcome, cheers

    1. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      2 goals, 4 assists and 1200 mins between Bailey and Neto last season, both to start in your 442 - not enough firepower IMO.

  9. Big Ronnie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Was fairly settled on A but B looks better now. Get the best players for the team i.e Saka over Martinelli. What do you think? Or C?

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, ***
    Salah, ***, ***, ***
    Kane, Jesus

    Ward, Neco, Andreas, Greenwood

    A) Digne, Sancho, Martinelli, Neto
    B) Perisic, Saka, Bailey, Neto
    C) Digne(any 5m Tripper?), Mount, Martinelli, Bailey

      B

    2. jp99

      C with Gabriel in the place of Digne

  10. Desange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    A) Ederson, Odegard/Marteneli, Neto
    B) Sanchez, Saka, Bailey

      B

    2. jp99
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A, picking martinelli and probably upgrading Neto with Benrahma or Rashford if possible

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Would avoid Benrahma, West Han look dire and Cornet should be replacing him soon

  11. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on Rashford with Martial injury? Good placeholder while waiting to see who does well out of Aaronson, Neto, Bailey?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Martial injury = Ronaldo = Utd rubbish again

  12. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Final questions:

    A) Robertson Perisic

    Or

    B) Trent Dier

    1) Mount

    Or

    2) Mahrez

    1. Desange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      B and 1

      How much ITB? Feels like with such a cheap mid + 2x4.0 defenders you must have something left over

    Not a popular opinion but if your happy with your 11 .Why the need to make sure you spend any extra funds within that 11 . Just because your 1m , 2m or whatever the amt is short of filling 11 plus the usual bench fodder doesn't mean your 11 is incorrect. I'm happy with 11 and I have a strong 12th man who can cover when one of my 11 has a sticky away fixture and of course be able to slot in if any last min shock drops or injuries. I'm a noob in FF but have a background in poker , hedging bets online etc and I'm shocked to see nobody else coming remotely close to this type of system and if anybody has anyone over 4.5 m on bench their shot in flames . So please explain . Bear in mind A)I believe my 11 it's the strongest it can be . B) When my 11 it's not as its strongest my 12th man make my 11 the strongest it can be my 11th man is not just benchwarming he has specific matches he will play Again I'm a noob to Ff and I understand this isn't a popular (to say the least )but what I don't understand is why it's shot down in flames or never even given any credit by even the same guys who's expertise has help me with my picks .Thanks alm be gentle my 50th yesterday!!!

      I’m intruiged what’s your team

      1. conrad10
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Ward / iverson
        Defence
        Tta / robertson / James/ kristenesen ( big on this guy ) rotate with salibu /0degard as not big on leeds defence .

        Bailey / martinellei / salah / Kdb

        Wilson / Bamford (rotate with Odegard / salba )
        Will use toney as transfer in on GW3 and play it by ear with these 3 like all equally .

    Draft league query ~ buendia McGinn I own.
    However available is

    Bailey
    Moura
    Pulisic
    Ramsey
    Neto
    Elanga

    Would you switch

    1. FCRS BGD
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yes, for Bailey and Neto

      1. Johnny too hotty
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Why Bailey he’s so cheap but that isn’t important in draft. Am I missing something

  20. JohnnyBGoode
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    I’ve decided to focus on defence and midfield as I don’t think premium forwards offer good value. Thoughts?

    Ramsdale (Ward)
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Perisic (Nico)
    Salah, Kula, Diaz, Mahrez (Andreas)
    Jesus, Toney (Greenwood)

    Idea is to rotate 8m midfielder depending on fixtures and form (e.g. Mount, Saka) and possibly Mitrovic instead of Toney if it looks like he can transfer his form from last season to the premier league…

  21. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Is Jesus an Arsenal shaped trap? Discuss!

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I’m going without

  22. One Man
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    A. Son/KDB & Neto

    Or

    B. Kane/Haaland & Martinelli. ?

    1. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      close but b

    2. artvandelay316
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      B

  23. Tonyp
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Bailey on for sure! High attacking threat against a possibly very poor defence. And if he scores points he’ll be semi high demand for being a 15th player in your squad.

    1. Tonyp
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

  24. mcflyjohn
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    So no Robbo, no Salah, would need to downgrade for an extra 0.5 for Son to Salah.

    Is Martinelli >>> Saka a decent trade?

    Ward (Iversen)

    Cancelo | TAA | Trippier | Zinny (Neco)

    Son | Diaz | Saka | Rashford (Andreas)

    Jesus | Haaland (Taylor)

    £0.5itb

  25. OShaughnessy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Sanchez - Ward
    TAA - Robertson - Cancelo - James - Doherty
    Sterling - Rashford - Martinelli (2 x 4.5)
    Haaland - Kane (1 x 4.5)

    Armband - Rotating City & Spurs' next 6 GWs are: SOU, BOU, WOL, NFO, NFO, FUL
    Contingency - Sterling & Kane can easily become Salah & Jesus if things go sideways

    Consider this a reasonable risk to see about a good start.

    1. mcflyjohn
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I'm not sure on Sterling (or Chelseas first few weeks), but could pay big dividends as he's got something to prove

  26. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Team News Predicted lineups updated today have Doherty and Perisic benched for spurs. Any news that would prevent them from starting?

    1. OShaughnessy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      IMO - Wait for the press conferences.
      Also, if they are benched, I'll suck it up for a week & not have to worry about the FT later on.
      Want Conte wing backs & will accept the risk.

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years

      Injured

    3. Steve Stiffler
      • 7 Years

      this is the start of it lol

    4. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

      It’s ok, I have the mighty Archer 1st sub

  27. Stranger Mings
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Anyone going both neco & Patterson?

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Someone will be for sure

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        You think too risky ?

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      No, but with double Lei GK that’s bargains

  28. artvandelay316
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Currently on this:
    Ward
    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, Cash, Trippier
    Salah, Saka, Martinelli
    Kane, Jesus
    (Iversen, Bailey, Andreas, Greenwood)

    My main concern is triple Arsenal attack but this is necessary to facilitate my back line. My only other alternative is Robbo > Perisic, Bailey > 4.5 (benched), Martinelli > Mount/Diaz.
    Any suggestions? Leave as is or make these changes?
    Cheers.

    1. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years

      Martinelli to JLingz

  29. Steve Stiffler
    • 7 Years

    Really hope Sterling does well for Chelsea this year

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm

      Cool story bro

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 7 Years

        your breath stinks

  30. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Maddison too risky, especially since I have Mahrez?
    Mount or Saka otherwise, and have no other Arse cover until GW3 planned
