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.

    Koulibaly or Bailly?

    1. JariL
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Neither?

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Agree Neither for me

    3. Jock Grealish

    Keep going back to my threemium draft 🙁

    1. LarsV
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      How does it look? I got

      Ward (Sanchez)
      TAA - James - Walker - Dalot (Neco)
      Salah - Son - Martinelli - Bailey (Andreas)
      Haaland - Kane (Greenwood)

      1. Biggsy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You sneaking some extra funds there? Haaland, Kane, Salah and Son?

        1. LarsV
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fourium? 😀
          Haha, Jesus instead of Kane, thanks!

          1. Biggsy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I mean, it's not impossible. But you would be playing a fair few 4.0m and 4.5m players each week

            1. LarsV
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Yup, Neco or Andreas will probably rotate in some gameweeks

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The one with budget midfielders right?

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Don't want any 8m mids

        City mids are rotation risks
        Maddison - transfer speculation
        Kulu - rotation risk
        Diaz - Robertson/Darwin better
        Mount - only option but willing to wait till gw 3

  3. PScholes18
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I normally go with a heavy midfield, but not this year. Still, feeling a bit too weak. Any obvious changes needed? Pretty template.

    Ward - Iversen
    TAA - Robbo - Cancelo - James - Neco
    Salah - Saka - Bailey - Neto - Andreas
    Haaland - Jesus - 4,5

    0,5 ITB.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not necessarily needed but I'd maybe do Robbo to a £5m to upgrade Neto or Bailey

      1. PScholes18
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Bailey is gone after a few weeks if he doesn't deliver. Promising pre season though.

    2. Halftime Lemon
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Strong team but Baileys minutes would worry me. Maybe use the 0.5 to upgrade Neco to better sub cover.

      1. PScholes18
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. Considering White for Neco. Want some arsenal cover in the back.

  4. WibblesTeam
    • 9 Years

    A) Ederson Gabriel Diaz

    B) Ramsdale Robbo Rashford,.

    TAA Robbo Cancelo Perisic X
    Salah Martinelli Bailey X (Pereira)

    1) James & Neto

    3) Doherty & Rashford

  6. Flynny

    Not sure at all what to do with perisic. Any views on this squad? Thanks

    Ramsdale (ward)
    Taa robbo cancelo perisic james
    Salah martinelli bailey (neto andreas)
    Haaland jesus (archer)

    1. rjcv177

      Play him lolol
      He will be awesome. If u trust him go before others

    2. Desange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Is this the template? Bit weak in midfield for me

    3. mvtaylor
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Spurs fan here and I'm not picking him. He is *just* below the "have to play him every week" valuation for a defender imo and we've got Chelsea away GW2.

    4. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That certainly is BATB but lacks balance. I would probably want a 4.0m defender in there. Also start with a 5.0/5.5m defender and switch to Perisic as and when his game time is confirmed.

      Once he does though he's a must have. I used to pick him in Champions League games as a Midfielder.

      1. Flynny
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        More than happy with the big at the back structure

        Just need to decided on perisic

  7. balint84
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A) 4-3-3 with Cash
    B) 3-4-3 with Bailey

    1. rjcv177
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Long term cash
      Bailey can be good or loose his spot 50/50. (Bailey owner)

    2. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I think Digne is better than Cash. If he can stay injury free Digne's points per minute are better than Cash.

  8. rjcv177
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Where can i upgrade with 0.5?

    Raya
    TAA, cancelo, trippier, zinch
    Salah, mount, saka, Bailey
    Kane/halaand, Jesus

    Ward, Neco, Andreas, archer

    2. LarsV
      • 4 Years

      Perisic for zinch or ramsdale for raya

    3. Tony Soprano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Zinch to Perisic would give you the same team as me

      1. rjcv177
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lets see whos up on gw1 lol good luck

    4. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Save it for Trips to Perisic if needed

      1. rjcv177
        • 11 Years

        Thkx. Good punt

    5. Assisting the assister
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ramsdale if you did drop Zinchenko as third gunner

      1. rjcv177
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Ramsdale and digne?

  9. Meme2011
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Is owning greenwood for Leeds just gonna be a case of sitting there dropping in value??

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He is the highest owned so likely will be the first one to drop

  10. Feed tha Sheep
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Rashford at 6.5..yes or no?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years

  11. Mainoo Magic

    Current squad/GW1 team, how's it looking?

    Ramsdale

    TAA Cancelo James

    Salah (c) Diaz bailey Rashford martinelli

    Haaland Jesus

    Bench: ward, greenwood, Williams, patterson

      Looking good Billy-Ray

  12. Desange

    Which do you prefer

    A) Ederson Martinelli Bruno G
    B) Sanchez Saka Almiron

      B

  13. Hey_Arnold
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at potential whoopings and oop players for week 1. Can't look past Chelsea v Everton. Everton were bad enough now they have no forwards and a makeshift defence. Sterling potentially oop as centre forward. Rashford potentially up top with Ron and Martial missing.
    Also fancy West ham to give city a game so not heavy there until week 2 onwards.
    Given all that here we go ...
    Ward
    TAA van Dijk Trippier James
    Salah Sterling Rashford Bailey
    Kane Jesus

    Iverson Neco Andreas Taylor

    Let's ride!

  14. Matty172

    Anyone for Zaha and Palace to spoil the Arsenal party?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Very capable

    2. Hey_Arnold
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, Defence will be tested!

    3. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I've had Zaha for over a week now and he's staying there. Season keeper I think

    4. Matty172
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Gut is saying to go with him too… could be a great differential!
      Thoughts on this?

      Ward
      Trips, Walker, Jonny, TAA, Robbo
      Zaha, Salah, KdB, Martinelli
      Kane
      (4.0/4.5s)

    5. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years

      Is A 343?

      1. mvtaylor
        • 15 Years

        Yep

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          It's tricky. Not a fan of 3mium squads, but I like it. Swap Saliba for White and I'd probably go A

          1. mvtaylor
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Hahaha I've just told someone else to swap White for Saliba! Thank you though

            1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
              • 15 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Ha class! I think White slots back into CB when Tomi is back

              1. mvtaylor
                • 15 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                I think Saliba keeps him out, AAARGGHH!!!

    3. Desange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      I actually like A
      But would want a 8 million mid or two

  16. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Boring question; At 4.5

    A) White
    B) Ait Nouri

    1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Ady87
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      On A

    3. mvtaylor
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A you're basically going to have to be making a transfer once Tomiyasu is fully fit, B you're making it after GW6.

      Neither and Saliba?

    4. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    5. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B. Wolves very solid defensive team.

  17. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best combo?

    1. Robertson and Mahrez
    2. Cancelo and Saka

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1

    2. Ady87
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Coin flip IMO but possibly B.

      1. Ady87
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Of course I mean 2.

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Even tho you have Robbo and Mahrez in your squad below....!?!

          1. Ady87
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Extra dynamic : Martinelli I prefer at that price point and wouldn’t want Saka too.

    3. Tony Soprano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2

    4. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Robbo is first on my team sheet

  18. Ady87
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Done it. Took a punt on Mahrez with Sterling gone. Locked and loaded, logging off for the night, unless you tear this apart.

    Ward
    TAA Robbo Walker White
    Salah Mahrez Mount Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus

    Subs Sanchez + Template

    If you think Walker/Robbo should be Cancelo/Tripp reply A or forever hold your peace.

    Ty.

  19. Devos
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one
    a) Cancelo + Son + Darwin
    b) Walker + Son + Haaland
    c) Walker + KDB + Kane

    Thanks and good luck this season!

    1. Ady87
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      BCA that order until Darwin starts consistently. Big differential though.

      1. Devos
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Is Haaland going to play each game? I feel like KDB + Kane gives more certainty.

    2. Visionaries

      C all day for me

  20. Salah_Fingers
    • 12 Years

    Final cog in my puzzle is mount or saka for my £8m mid. Any thoughts? Own Ramsdale and jesus but no Chelsea

    1. Herger
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’d go Mount. You don’t want all your baskets in one egg

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lol

      2. Salah_Fingers
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Love it

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve got both Mount and Saka. Saka is going to be scoring big and most won’t have him and Jesus

  21. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wolves have had an excellent pre-season. Sure the Jimenez injury is a big blow but am surprised the only Wolf in the conversation is Neto.

    Podence on fire and some excellent 4.5m defenders, including attacking full backs.

    1. mvtaylor
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I am potentially putting two Wolves players in my team but the alarm bells are the absolutely abysmal end they had to last season, the fact they've not really done any business to make the squad stronger, and the "it's only pre-season" reminder.

  22. conrad10
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    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!!!

    1. Visionaries
      • 10 Years

      Not sure whose advised you otherwise, but having a good rounded squad is strongly advised. Although I'd argue it's more important in the latter stages of the season

      1. conrad10
        • 4 Years

        Just general comments .
        Got it
        Thanks

    2. mvtaylor
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Depends if you actually plan to change your team from gameweek to gameweek much via your bench options. If so then playing the fixtures and spending a little extra cash there makes sense. If you just want the strongest XI possible then unless you've got an absolute gut feeling that Bailey is going to score more than Coutinho, Martinelli than Saka, Kulusevki than Son, Diaz than Salah etc etc then almost everyone would probably pick the more expensive option if money isn't an issue. Yes it's also nice to have some money in the bank to upgrade a player or two but most people will have wildcarded within the first few weeks.

      1. conrad10
        • 4 Years

        Got it
        Thanks

    A. 0.5 itb worth saving, or use on
    B. Trippier to Peresic
    C. Martinelli to Rashford

    Cheers

    1. Paddy Gooner
      • 10 Years

      I would save it. Anything could happen GW1.

  24. Visionaries
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Having a last minute change of heart, leaning towards Diaz over Robbo now. Need two attackers for those juicy games

    1. Herger
      • 4 Years
