And it’s live active! Mark Sutherns has hit the ‘Play Wildcard’ button and he’s discussing it with Andy North tonight on the latest live stream for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

The Wildcard talk dominates but there is plenty of room for other hot topics as Andy and Mark chat about all things Fantasy Premier League (FPL) in the run-up to Saturday’s Gameweek 4 deadline.

Mark, a four-time top 1k finisher, collected 35 points in Gameweek 3 but was unfortunate enough to remove Brennan Johnson (£5.9m) in a four-point hit, just before he bagged nine points at Everton.

‘Sutherns Comfort’ was still without Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) and Gabriel Jesus (£8.2m) last weekend, so Son Heung-min (£11.9m) was handed the captaincy for his blank against Wolves.

How many of his original side have survived the cull?

As well as revealing their Gameweek 4 teams and transfers, Mark and Andy will also answer some questions from those tuning into the stream live.

And if you’ve missed the live broadcast, you can of course still watch the whole thing back from the start.

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 not just this stream but also exclusive YouTube content from Mark throughout the 2022/23 campaign.

      C out of those

    Any ideas much appreciated. 2 FT. 0.3ITB.

    Sanchez (Ward)
    TAA Trippier Dias Saliba (Neco)
    Salah Son Martinelli Dasilva (Andreas)
    Jesus Haaland (Archer)

    Thinking Son & Andreas/Dasilva to Gundogan & Rodrigo but im not bold enough to pull it off!

    1. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Can you afford son to KdB?

      1. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Just realised I've got exact cash to swop for KDB but thinking Son & one of 4.5 mids to Gundo & 9m mid so i dont have to play a 4.5 mid every week.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Hmm maybe a boring Archer and Stansfield and be aggressive next week with 2 FTs

      1. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry what?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Boring move Archer to Stansfield and be aggressive next GW with the 2FTs*

          1. AC Yew
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            This makes more sense. Thanks, thats a good shout as would like to give Son another week so i'll mull it over. Assuming Stansfield likely to get more minutes over Archer?

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Yeah difficult moving a player with favourable fixtures. Boring move can delay that. Possibly yes as Archer is linked with a loan move away

              1. AC Yew
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 7 months ago

                Great thank you for your help! Take care

        2. Robe Wan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Hes saying to archer to stansfield

          1. AC Yew
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Yes I got that thanks

    3. Up the tics
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      The fact you have to play a 4.6m mid everyweek isn't ideal. Can you not downgrade someone and upgrade Dasilva?

      1. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Was thinking of Son & one of 4.5 mids to Gundo & 9m.

  3. AC/DC AFC

    commercial media claiming

    "Chelsea reach agreement with Leicester to sign defender Wesley Fofana"

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'll buy James now then.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        yep, the fpl upside in that deal.

  4. Egg noodle
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What rank would make you rage quit this season at this point?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'm rank 3.99m...

      4m and I'm out.

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Stay strong egg noodle.

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        4 weeks in?

        A bit brittle

      3. Drexl Spivey
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        It's not that bad. A couple of decent results sorts that out.

      4. Optimus.
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I was 3.8m starting last gw, hit the WC and moved up to 800k. All it takes is one good gw to move you up the ranks. Hang in there

        1. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Good News - well done

      5. Gold Monster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Those are rookie numbers

    2. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Lol. No rank. It’s been 3 gws. Rank means nothing.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      None. Plenty of time to make gains with all chips to play

    4. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No particular rank will do that to me as I feel you can always recover to a relatively respectable rank over the course of the season.
      What might make me rage quit is if I go through a long series of bad lucks, things totally out of my hands.

    5. Up the tics
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Really so soon? Only about 100pts away from number 1. Top 10k finish is easily possible. Or just focus on your mini league who cares about rank

    6. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Plenty of opportunity to make up ground.

    7. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Log off halfway with a good bench 😉

      And autocap Salah.

  5. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Oh hi Mark

  6. M2.0
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    WC needs tinkering after todays news…who is the best Zaha replacement?

    a) Groß
    b) James
    c) Harrison (have Rodrigo)
    d) Perisic
    e) Rashford

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      how do B or D work out overall?

      1. M2.0
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Allows me to bring in Andreas who’s a better bench option than Patterson

    3. gellinmagellan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      b

  7. beninho07
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Is salah esstential , have kdb and kane ?

    1. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No, far from essential

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No

    3. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      KDB preferential
      Kane optional
      Salah essential

      (ish)

    5. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      There's only one thing that's essential, and that's having Jesus in our hearts. And fantasy team ofc.

  8. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on Fofana at Chelsea. 4.5m good? Or just a 6 point limit?

    1. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      If he goes then 4.5 is bargain regardless of his limit.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Could be the best 4.5 def option if Chelsea turn their defence around and get CS. 6 point ceiling in a top 4 defence is a good option to consider

    3. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Absolute bargain

    4. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Please sell fofana now.
      4.4 m is a tasty

  9. Stamford B
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What do you think of Neil Maupay?

    1. Up the tics
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn't touch

      1. Stamford B
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I mean in general. I’ve not really seen him play much.

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He looks like a decent lad but just not my type.

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not a lot tbh. Very good 8n The Championship but can't see him being much value. Would prefer to spend the extra on Toney.

    4. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He may give some space to the mids, good striker and experienced in PL. Everton look lost but feels like its the first good transfer for Lampard. Fantasy wise, i d stay away until i see him play.

  10. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Gtg right?

    0TFs and 1.6 ITB

    Sanchez
    TAA - Cancelo - Robbo - James
    Salah (C) - Ødegaard - Martinelli - Andreas
    Haaland - Jesus

    (Ward, Dasilva, Neco, Archer)

    1. Up the tics
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Gtg

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

  11. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Did the scout miss Foo Fighter's comments on Mitro's xg? Saliba in scout picks, @Foo Fighter you best tell them

  12. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Team looking alright? Anything need changing? 0FT and 0.8m ITB.

    Sanchez
    TAA Cancelo Robertson Trippier
    Salah(c) Gundogan Martinelli Bailey
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward; Andreas, N.Williams, Archer

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      GTG

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks tony

  13. Mid budget coach
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    If i take a -8 hit then reconsider and just do a wildcard instead, will the wildcard revert back the -8 hit I'd taken?

    1. Stamford B
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes it’ll cancel out all hits for that gw.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes it will cancel the - 8

    3. Mid budget coach
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Thanks guys, i had a terrible team and the -8 doesn't seem to cut it, ill just wilcard

    4. Veni Vidi Vialli
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes.

  14. Sid07
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Have 2 ft and 0.4 ITB. Any suggestions??

    Ramsdale
    TAA cancelo james trippier
    salah diaz martinelli gross
    haaland jesus

    Ward Neco andreas archer

    1. squ1rrel
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn’t change tbh, maybe Ramsdale to Sanchez for the extra 0.5

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Archer to Stansfield and roll the 2nd FT

  15. squ1rrel
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Play Walker or Saliba?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Both

      1. squ1rrel
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Have to pick one

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Surely bench someone else. What the rest of the team

          1. squ1rrel
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Below

    2. Kun Tozser
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Both teams to concede

    3. skodaole2
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I d bench Walker of the two

    4. AC Yew
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ideally I'd start both but need to see rest of the team

    5. squ1rrel
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Rest is

      Sanchez
      TAA Walker James Saliba
      Salah Rodrigo Martinelli Gundo
      Toney Haaland Jesus

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Bench Saliba. City are still the best defence and Fulham put two past pool (but I guess United did too) and Zaha is out

      2. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        James

      3. AC Yew
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I'd also say Saliba with Zaha being out.

  16. Bullet Eder
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I've got a big dilemma this week and I am looking for some advice. Current team is:

    Ward Iverson
    TAA Robertson Cancelo James Neco
    Salah Mount Martinelli Bailey Andreas
    Haaland Jesus Archer

    I've got two free transfers. The obvious underperformers are Mount and Robbo but I am reluctant to take either out before LEI and BOU at home, so they both get one last chance.

    The other notable weak points are Ward (big error) and Bailey. I have 0.0 in the bank so can't upgrade the goalkeeper without making a transfer somewhere else.

    Currently considering doing Haaland > Kane to get ahead of the curve before a potential resting and then reassessing next week when I've got more data on both Mount and Robbo and which one is more deserving of a downgrade.

    Any thoughts?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      So Bailey is an over performer when Mount and Robbo are proven assets?

      You can't fix your problem without dealing with your problems.

      1. Bullet Eder
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        What? Bailey isn't an overperformer. But there aren't many better replacements at his price. And I can't downgrade him to get a decent keeper because I'd be replacing him with a 4.4 non-playing mid...

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Bailey will be on your bench anyway if he does not get picked by his delusional manager. Avoid Villa assets.

    2. Mid budget coach
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      For this week maybe just Mount, give Robertson a game against Bournemouth then see

    3. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Sounds fair to me

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      There's nothing much wrong with this apart from the keepers. If you want to upgrade probably one 9f Mount or Robbo would be the fall guy but a very tough choice between the 2

    5. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Looking at your current squad & thought process.

      Sell Robbo 6.9m depending on choice of defenders with possible keeping some ITB for
      following week if decision on Bailey

      & buy a 4.5m or 5.0m keeper

    6. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Got same team and also 2FT. I'm doing Robbo and Bailey to Arse def and Rashford. The way I see it is Bailey is a long-term problem and there are plenty of alternatives to Robbo.

      Mount gets one last chance.

  17. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Best Zaha replacement for up to 7.3 million?

    Bernardo
    Saint Maximin
    Oodegaard
    Xhaka
    Sancho
    Other?

    Cheers.

    1. AC Yew
      • 7 Years

      Gundo?

      1. artvandelay316
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        He's not up to 7.3m.

    Cucurella or Trippier a better option for next few GWs?

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Trippier

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I would not get rid of either. They are value for £'s.

      1. Tmel
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yep, it's which one I bring in that's the question

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Cucu

    3. Bluetiger1

      Trippier

    4. Zilla42

      I've been happy with Trip's attacking potential.

    Well I ended up keeping Mount and losing another 0.1m, but now I have two FTs to use before the deadline on Tuesday.

      Plan is to swap Archer for Toney or Mitro, and then dump Mount for a cheaper mid.

      But if Mount has a great game, I could keep him and get rid of TAA if he has another blank and looks crap again.

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years

        I should be able to afford TAA -> Zinchecko, and Archer to Toney.

      There will be many twists and turns as well as 4.3 mids and 4.4 or 4.3 midfielders plus Ward to Iverson saving 0.1 if you have a 4.5 GK.

      Forget about your bench if you have budget issues.

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry, perhaps 3.9 defenders and 4.3 or 4.4 mids.

    Pope Ward
    TAA James Cancelo (Cash Williams)
    Salah Martinelli Foden Bailey Andreas
    Haaland Jesus (Archer)

    1 FT 0.8 ITB. I know saving is ideal but given the form of Cash, and also Foden being a risk, should I make a move or GTG?

    A) Cash > Zinchenko
    B) Cash > Perisic
    C) Foden > ?
    D) Roll
    E) Anything else

    On 2 FTs so don’t want to lose one...
    Ramsdale
    TAA, Perisic, Cancelo, James, Neco
    Salah (C), Diaz, Martinelli, Aaronson, Andreas
    Haaland, Jesus, Archer

    Maybe Haaland to Kane, Ramsdale to Sanchez or even Archer to Stanafield….?!

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Similar position to me. I’d say Ramsdale to Sanchez

    2. Zilla42
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ramsdale to Sanchez if you're headed that way and have 2 FT next week

  25. PompeyUpNorth!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Can anyone offer some assistance with this please? 2 FT’s Zero ITB.

    Was thinking Ramsdale to a 4.5 such as Sanchez and keep 2 transfers for next week to do mini WC if Pool let me down again? I’m conscious that Bailey is on verge of dropping again though.

    Ramsdale (Ward)

    Trent Robbo Cancelo Perisic James

    Marti Salah Bailey (Neto Andreas)

    Jesus Haaland (Archer)

    Thanks!

      I’m just worried about Spurs coverage… Kane next week?

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yes possibly. I guess I’ll see how things pan out this week with City n Spurs

    TAA Cancelo James Cucurella

    Ward Sanchez

    Saliba TAA Neco Cancelo Trippier

    Martinelli Salah Kuluevski Aaronson Andreas

    Is it me or does pretty much every team on here have TAA and/or James? Feel kinda left out.

    Every team has Haaland and Jesus. Checked by mini league earlier today and every team was so similar. Success will predominantly come down to captain choice and a few differentials.

    1. lugs
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      yeah luckily my best differentials are Zaha & Maddison, doh nevermind, a 20pt haul from Xhaka should cover them for me 😎

      Things will change over time . Do your own thing for now I think

    If Fofana does sign for Chelsea does he go straight into the starting 11?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Doubt it.

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Very likely

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes
