In case you missed it earlier, Mark Sutherns joined Andy North for another pre-deadline chat about all things Gameweek 2.

Erling Haaland (£11.6m) predictably dominates discussion – has Mark made a move for the Norwegian after going without him on the opening weekend?

The four-time top 1k finisher also discusses Gameweek 1 variance after his two Tottenham Hotspur assets somehow failed to score in a 4-1 win over Southampton.

As well as revealing their Gameweek 2 teams and transfers, Mark and Andy also answer some questions from those tuning into the stream live.

    Fellow Mount owners.. are you keeping or selling?

    Tempted to transfer out for Mahrez or foden for a one week punt.

    1. dshv
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Keeping and maybe will use 2ft next week to do some change

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Keeping

    3. yeahbuddy
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Keeping

    4. The Mighty Hippo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      I'm keeping. He's got a good run of fixtures after this week.

    5. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Keeping. Used free transfer to bring in Haaland.

      I do like the idea of the Foden / Mahrez punt

    6. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Sold for Martinelli. Need the cash and Marty looks like the best value mid in the game.

    7. zdrojo187
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Keep...He may be on penalties

    8. Chris_l25
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Keeping for now. Really good run of fixtures after this week

  2. the german
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Teams so template. Only Trossard matters.

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      True. If template fires today, it will be so boring. Not many permutations tbh

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        whats the template?

        1. the german
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 21 days ago

          What do you have?

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 21 days ago

          I'm new here but I think it's a team that lots of people have selected

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 21 days ago

            🙄

        3. Puntillimon
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 21 days ago

          Trent cancelo Salah haaland Jesus martinelli andreas soon to be Darwin

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 21 days ago

            Darwin 25%
            Martinelli 27% owned

            Similar but still low compared to Jesus

            1. Christina.
              • 16 Years
              4 years, 21 days ago

              The combinations also matter. Very few that own TAA/Mo will have Darwin

              1. the german
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 21 days ago

                Yes I think Darwin and Kane will be most responsible for ranks this weekend.

        4. SADIO SANÉ
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 21 days ago

          your WC team is my idea of the template, maybe Saka over Kulu though depending on what happens this weekend - if that team performs well this week most people will have at least 8/9 of them by GW3

          1. the german
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 21 days ago

            And if you are playing for long term, you cannot not have the template team, especially this early of the season.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Trossard is a good pick.

      Have you got Kulusevski, he's my differential.

      I guess Kane would be a good rank rise too.

      If Spurs beat Chelsea at the Bridge that's a real statement of intent from Conte.

      1. the german
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        Mendy
        TAA Walker Cancelo Gabriel
        Salah Martinelli Trossard Diaz
        Haaland (C) Jesus

        This is my team and only Trossard and Diaz might be responsible for rank changes if any. Most people did Kane to Haaland this week.

    3. out for a goalkick

      All about Bamford and hoping Arsenal don’t fire

  3. Dannyb
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Bench 1
    A Dalot
    B Bailey

    1. dshv
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      A

      1. zdrojo187
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        A

    2. out for a goalkick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      If you’re not playing Bailey at home to Everton what’s the point in owning him?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        People who got him for the GW1 squad were expecting more from Villa.

        1. out for a goalkick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 21 days ago

          It’s 1 game of data - and now they play Everton at home - Everton who were absolutely awful away last year - roll the dice.

  4. Eze Really?
    • 12 Years

    Can someone tell me whu Pope is trending?

    1. Stamford B
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Rumours he’s not playing

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years

        Tnks: Why and from what source?

        1. Stamford B
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 21 days ago

          No idea why he’s trending or if the source is reliable but this what I saw
          https://twitter.com/bendinnery/status/1558205008549711873?s=21&t=KBTGGihGH0lpXRxKEMfh9A

          1. Stamford B
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 21 days ago

            See the team news here. It seems there’s been some hilarious Tom foolery from the geordies

      1. Andy_Social
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        So he's out because he gorged himself on burgers?! 😆

  5. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Will heat impact Haaland today?

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Of course

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Yes but could equally impact Bournemouth defenders chasing around all day without the ball

    3. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      It will impact everyone

    4. out for a goalkick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Probably - heat rises after all

  6. Eze Really?
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Projected winners and losers.
    A 1 1 draw at Chelsea will hurt many.
    Villa could bottle it.
    Pool could let in a goal.
    A Haaland fail.
    United could beat Brentford.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Was with you until the last one

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        I threw it in for all United sheep who want rid of Sanchez, Dalot, Rashford and Ron gets a brace.

    2. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Jesus blank would be massive

      1. Eze Really?
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        True. transfers out will rival Kane. Darwin swap but will cost 2 transfers.
        All set for an epic fail for the template.

    3. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Jesus blank with a Nunez goal would make things interesting

      1. out for a goalkick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        Jesus blank with a Kane double makes things spicy….

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          That went well ...

  7. stokkies
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Have Haaland and did get 69 points but I wanted to try something different and hit that gw 2 wildcard for a three-striker formation due to all the decent striking options this season and to spice it up.

    Sanchez
    TAA-Walker-Cancelo-James
    Salah-Martinelli-Aaronson
    Jesus-Darwin-Haaland

    Subs: Ward, Patterson, Andreas.

    Is anyone seeing any fun transfers while still on the wildcard? Think I can use Andreas or Patterson for Aaronson next week and still want to see how Arsenal line up now that Tierney is fit and Tomiyasu is not injured.

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      you've probably picked the least 'spicy' team possible, bar Aaronson & Darwin it looks like someone else's boring GW1 high ownership team and also looks like every other GW2 WC team - that being said, it's probably a very good team

      1. The Legend Squad
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        Lol saved by the last sentance

    2. out for a goalkick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      69 points and on a WC - didn’t anyone tell you that patience is a virtue?!

  8. Maradona
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Have the Leicester GK double and £0.5m to spend. Iverson to Sanchez or roll the FT?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Roll

    2. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Waste of a transfer

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Keep for SOT then upgrade.

    4. out for a goalkick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Roll

  9. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Start Trippier or Cash?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Trippier. Better team and more routes to points.

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      C

    3. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years

      Cash

      1. out for a goalkick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Both?

  10. Warby84
    • 11 Years

    Tempted to play Neco Williams over Bailey today, home debut and all that..

    1. the german
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Hammers have Bowen.

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Play Bailey

    3. out for a goalkick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Bailey all day everyday given the fixtures

  11. Davido989
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Start Perisic or Andreas Pereira?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Pereira

      1. Davido989
        • 16 Years

        Thanks

    2. The Legend Squad

      Andreas

    3. the german

      Andreas

    4. out for a goalkick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Perisic - more upside imo

  12. Loaves And Fishes
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Hi guys. I’m kinda new to this whole thing. I don’t want to be one of those annoying people that asks “what should I do with my team?”. But I would like some advice!

    Team after Game-week 1 is:

    Ramsdale (Steele)
    TAA-James-Cancelo (Trippier-Williams)
    Bailey-Kulusevski-Salah-Trossard (Andreas)
    Jesus-Vardy-Mbuemo

    I’d love to bring Haaland in but don’t think I can unless I get the -4. I don’t really want to do that. It gives me anxiety!!

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Just stick then mate, can always get Haaland next week

      1. The Legend Squad
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        Captain Salah instead and could even be a differential!

    2. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Your best route is Vardy and Kulu

    3. MYNAMEISBigtopmark.sman
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Only been on here 2 years longer than me 😆

      1. Loaves And Fishes
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        Ha ha I’ve been lurking mate. Just never took it too seriously. But now I’m hooked.

    4. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Get in Haaland for a -4 and captain him. Get rid of Vardy and downgrade another player to afford.

    5. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      You need to do it - every GW you don't own him will hurt you

    6. out for a goalkick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      I suppose it comes down to how scared you are that Haaland hauls against Bournemouth and whether he outscores what you have by more than the 4 point hit. Haaland will be the most captained player this week - therefore if you don’t have him and he hauls - you’ll likely be going down in rank - a Salah haul and a blank from Haaland would be huge for you though…

  13. The Legend Squad
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Struggling with one point.

    Need to take two of Kulu, Cancelo, Jesus.

    Who would you go with?

    1. Davido989
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Cancelo and Jesus

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Cancelo and Kulu

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Kulusevski
      Cancelo

  14. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Ward
    Saliba Cucu Cancelo TAA Dunk
    Salah Kulusevski
    Haaland Darwin Jesus

    1. Jafalad
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Is Cucu going to start - FPL Andy has admitted it was a mistake getting him in.
      I'd get Darwin in when we know he is going to start games.
      Ward - not many cs. Who is your other gk?

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        Iversen....lol
        Up the Boks!

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 21 days ago

          ...Jesus vs James is my issue.
          Managed to get away wk 1 when Jesus blanked. Next couple of fixtures looks nice for Jesus, but I dont rate him.
          Cucu I think will play sooner rather than later.
          James...how long will he stay fit?

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 21 days ago

            My current WC lot:

            Sanchez
            Saliba James Cancelo TAA
            Salah Kulusevski Aaronson Martinelli
            Haaland Darwin

          2. Eze Really?
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 21 days ago

            It will be interesting to see how darwin will do from the start and not come on when everyone is knackered. Jury still out on him atm.

    2. Mambino

      WC?

  15. GoneFishing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    Please help - On wildcard:

    A- KDB - Luis Diaz - Saliba

    B- Salah - Cancelo - Reed

    Who scores more season long?

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Probably A - I'm keeping a close eye on Salah (I have at the moment) I don't think he is going to be the monster hauler he always has been this season. KDB is who I will probably trade him for (as opposed to Son)

      1. GoneFishing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        Trying to convince myself to go without Salah for a change.
        Cheers thank you.

    2. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      Are u intending to play all 3 or just 2. If 2 then B, if 3 then A

      1. GoneFishing
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 21 days ago

        Planning to play 2
        Good one, thank you

    3. out for a goalkick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      It doesn’t matter who scores more season long - only who scores more before the World Cup - as there’s unlimited transfers again to reset teams.

      Going without Salah when not all is known about the Darwin situation seems risky at the minute. I’d rather have Haaland than KDB - in which case I’m not doubling up on City premiums - Son or Salah are the obvious alternatives.

  16. Tstringer1
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 21 days ago

    -4 is nothing in the scheme of things

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      if capping, or bringing in two different starters, it really is; basically -2 per player

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      I have never looked specifically looked at it but I feel as though most times I've taken a hit it has paid off

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 21 days ago

      It's a goal from last week.

    4. out for a goalkick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Depends on the context:

      -4 to sub out an injured or suspended player is fine, as it’s only a 2 point hit (assuming they play 60 minutes) with the upside of further points - but ideally your bench should be able to cover this.

      -4 for a captain option is fine if you think they’ll gain that back.

      -4 in any other case is surely dependant on fixtures etc - but I would normally steer clear.

        -4 for a double game week player can also work!

      Sold for Haaland and a -4 on Sunday.

    Currently have Cancelo, Walker, Mahrez from MC. Any thoughts what to do with Mahrez?

    A) roll FT
    B) switch to Foden
    C) bench him for Bailey

      I’m sticking for now

      Given those 3 I’d hold and start (and cross my fingers!).

      Don’t chase the points in that city midfield (unless it’s KDB) as the starters almost always change!

      C for now, then make 2/3 changes next week if you still want/need to

    3. @persecuted_by_mods

      B or C

    This is how I envision City will line up this week: Bernardo in for Gundogan and no other changes.

    In the off chance there is other rotation, it’ll be either Grealish or Ake losing their place to Mahrez or Stones, but I think this is quite unlikely at this stage. https://t.co/eWlmHAcdzE

    FPL fixing the prices again as and when it suits. Haaland was well over the threshold for a rise last night and shoud be 11.2 now but FPL still have him at 11.1.

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
      4 years, 21 days ago

      The threshold is from a third party website which is doing a best guess based on info they have so it's not always 100% accurate

        The website has been proved to be accurate and even allowing for a slight inaccuracy, Haaland was well over the threshold so should have gone up. FPL have also been known to fix prices as and when it suits before. They did it several times last season. Players blanking 3 games in a row but still mysteriously getting price rises.

          You’re over thinking it. Price change algorithms are always less reliable when the players price has already changed that week. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember.

      Per the FAQ: ‘Both the formula used to calculate this change and the time of the change include variable factors, and won’t be revealed to game players’

      double risers always harder for fplstats to predict at the start

    Good to roll this week's FT? Bit concerned about Perisic and so should I start him or Andreas?

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Robbo - Cancelo - Perisic - Trippier
    Salah - Saka - Bailey
    (H)aaland - Jesus

    Ward - Andreas - Murphy - Plange

    Hi guys
    For draft league, who would you pick out of these 3:
    1) Martial (injured, limited game time if Ronaldo stays ..)
    2) Jimenez (injured )
    3) Che Adams ( possible transfer to Everton) ?
    Thanks!

    Mark is Legend! Love ya
    No Salah but going so far so well. Could have nailed it… if had gone Walker! Over Cancelo

    Why are so many people selling Saliba now?

    1. Old Man

      Shorttermitis. He hasn't suddenly become a bad player - they're trying to be too clever.

      1. One for All
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 19 days ago

        Lol I'll probably swap White for him if he drops to 4.4.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 19 days ago

          He was about to rise to 4.6 when the og occurred. Won't drop, but hopefully won't rise either.

          If you're going to keep an Arsenal defender for the first 7 weeks or so just keep him - don't waste an unnecessary transfer on him. I'm sure that you will have bigger fish to fry. Good luck.

      Same reason as they're flocking to DaSilva - one fluke goal that won't happen again.
