We can reveal that Mark Sutherns has played his Wildcard for Gameweek 3 of the 2018/19 Fantasy Premier League season.

Joe spoke to him in the latest episode of ScoutCast Extra Time on Friday afternoon to find out his reasons for hitting the button and making a raft of changes.

You can watch that video below or on our YouTube channel.

Mark explained that a lot of his decision revolved around how volatile the transfer market has been since Sergio Aguero‘s (£11.2m) hat-trick in Gameweek 2.

With managers all over the world chopping and changing Mark was faced with a situation where several of his original assets were facing price falls, and those he wanted to replace them with were going in the opposite direction.

Joe made the case for sticking with Mark’s original Gameweek 2 team but it will definitely be an all-new line-up in Gameweek 3.

In our latest edition of ScoutCast Extra Time, Mark takes us through two different teams he is considering before Saturday’s 11:30am deadline – one with Eden Hazard (£10.5m) and one without.

    Is Hennessy best 4.5m keeper ?

    1. Davemc23
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      No

      1. Fpl-king
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        I would think so

        Who else is there? Maybe Hart?

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Possibly, even if CRY's defenders offer more value.

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

      In contention.

    4. Ozzyy
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah and he has more favorable fixtures than the others.

    5. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      "I wouldn’t hesitate to put any of those into the team, and the same applied to Vicente Guaita." Hodgson. That would scare me a little bit.

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

        Oh crap. I just bought him not knowing this... I had heard recently that he had said that there was no reason why Hennessey shouldn't play

        1. FPL.team
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          He was referencing Meyler, Ayew and Kouyate but then extended it to Guaita at the end. Could be nothing, no reason to bench Hennesey at this moment in my opinion.

  2. Gazpilicueta
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Jota and Firmino for....

    Hazard and 5.0 eg Joselu
    OR
    Mane and 6.0 eg Deeney, Ings, Ihenacho

    whadya think??

    1. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mane and ings

      1. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        this

      2. Davemc23
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        +1

    2. R3D-D3V1L
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Keep Firmino for at least GW3.

    3. Gazpilicueta
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      or maybe just Jota to Fraser for now?

      1. R3D-D3V1L
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        This!

  3. JAC THE CAT
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone going Aguero as captain?

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

      My mate at work, it is his 1st year playing

      1. FPL.team
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Probably doing well after last week then.

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I guess the ManUtd players' teams have captained Spurs players.

  4. barracuda
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    When Jose get a sack, will he ever return to EPL? And if so, what sort of team would be able to lure him?

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      We won’t see him in the EPL again when he goes.

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

        Jac, he is still relatively young to be fair.

        1. JAC THE CAT
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          My apologies, I get confused with the grey hair.

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

            He has got 15 yonks left on his tic if he won't stop taking his pills.

    2. barracuda
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Btw I think he is done at OT.

    3. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Whoever has deep pockets

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Spurs?

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

        That would kill their identity, unless he can knuckle down and follow the "youth". Aka Pep, Klopp, Poch...maybe Unai.

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Was a tad tongue in cheek 😆 hic! 😉

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

            Ah, you youngsters 😀

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        please no

    5. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Wolves
      Jorge Mendes

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

        That's a good shout, actually. But the Q was in the EPL 🙂

    6. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I see him going back to Inter

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

      Chelsea Ladies.

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

        He hates ladies, ask Eva.

  5. R3D-D3V1L
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Who to start in goal for GW3?
    A. Ederson
    B. Foster

    TiA

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Tough call
      Probably a, Vardy is out

      1. Davemc23
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Clearly ederson

        1. yanks250125
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          wouldn't say it's clear at all

      2. R3D-D3V1L
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks!

        B. is Foster (at home against Palace) and not Forster (of Soton)

        Ederson's away to Wolves. Anyone fancy 'em scoring against City?

      3. yanks250125
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        if Huddersfield can get one at Etihad, anyone can get one at home

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

          Ridiculous comment.

          1. yanks250125
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 3 months ago

            Ridiculous reply. what do you have to say?

  6. AriseSirGiggsy
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    So is Hamer simply being picked ahead of Lossl or is there another reason he’s played the opening 2 fixtures?

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Think there was mention of Lossl personal problems.

      1. AriseSirGiggsy
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers

  7. SheBangsTheDrums

    Bournemouth v Everton score predictions tomorrow?

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      High scoring, Bournemouth to win

    2. Ohh1454
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      3-3

    3. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      1-2 (late winner for the toffees)

    4. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      2-2

    5. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Unfortunately another Pickford blank..

    6. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      2-2

    7. yanks250125
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I don't fancy Everton to score a lot. 2-1

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

      Everton go 2-0 up, Bournemouth come back late and win it 3-2.

  8. LarryDuff
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Jesus Christ there's an article for this.....

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Thank the Lord, just what we need 😉

      1. LarryDuff
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        By Lord you mean Mark? 😉

  9. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Surely if your heavily reliant on the starting 11 surely the bench doesn’t matter so much? As long as you don’t have non players..

    My bench is Awful

    1. AriseSirGiggsy
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who isn’t heavily reliant on the starting 11?

      1. Warby84
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        Everyone should be so the bench should be relatively irrelevant, as long as you get 1-3 points from each player...

        1. AriseSirGiggsy
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 3 months ago

          Until you get an injury, suspension or surprise benching - which happens pretty much every week

    2. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      If you're not wildcarding for awhile you need a bench

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      My weak bench could come to haunt me this week. AWB being suspended has scuppered me somewhat.

    4. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      the fact that you had to use the word "surely" twice in one sentence tells me you know you need a bench. 😉

    5. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      A player is only not a non-player until he's not playing. Just ask Sterling, Walker and co.

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

    A: Frasier
    B: Kante
    C: Iwobi (punt)

    1. Warby84

      A

      1. Davemc23

        C for me

  11. ZLNR
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Doherty out for
    1) Tomkins (have AWB)
    2) Cedric
    3) other 4.5m or less unless I use my other FT

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years

  12. BENOIT
    • 10 Years

    Why no Dilva in the scout picks?

    1. LarryDuff
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ask them

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      You seen that back 3? 😆

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      I believe it’s because he wasn’t picked

    4. BENOIT

    5. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

    6. Point-one short

    4. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Mkhi could be benched if Laca and Auba both start.

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

        Nope mkhi comes in from the right

  19. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    My team for this gw... tempted to Swap Moura for Pedro or Mkhi but not got any FT left... Thoughts?

    Pickford
    Mendy, Alonso, TAA
    Salah, Rich, Fraser, Moura,
    Firminho, Zaha, Kun

    Will look to bring auba or hazard in soon

    1. R3D-D3V1L
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Go for it. Get Mkhi in!

  20. lugalooch
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    For the next couple GW which is best...

    B.Davies + Moura >

    A) PvA + Mhikitariam
    B) Robertson + Pedro

    Already own Auba if that makes a diff

    Thanks

    1. Davemc23
      • 14 Years

  21. #FPLBhuna
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    A) aguero, pva
    B) mane, zaha

    1. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Who scores more this week

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      B, due to Aguero's higher rotation risk.

    3. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Ey?

    4. Davemc23
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      One option is striker and def. The other is striker and mid. I don't get it?

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 3 months ago

        To give it more context

        A) schlupp, mane, zaha
        B) pva, cairney, aguero

        Shlupp and cairney are bench fodder

  22. nedfoo
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 3 months ago

    Mendy or Alonso?

    Already got Ederson

    1. Duffy Dunk

    3. Dynamic Duos

    TAA, Mendy, Pereira
    Salah, Richarlison, Mane, Mkhi
    Zaha, Aguero, Wilson

    Bench: Hamer, Kante, Bennett, AWB

    Difficult yet easy decision to make:

    Start

    1) Shaw or
    2) Jota

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years

    Stupid to keep 0.5 in bank to do Robertson to Alonso next week if on WC? Really want Auba

    Hamer Hennesey

    Mendy Robertson Zanka 4.0 4.0

    Neves Rich Salah Mane 4.5

    Aguero Auba Ings

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      It's 0.6

    2. Duffy Dunk
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      There is a big chance Alonso's price goes up and you miss that 0.1.
      If you want him, get him now.

      Don’t like planning transfers when on a WC. Much can change, injuries etc etc.

    Any chance of Fraser rising tonight? He's been hovering on that first page all week.

    1. yanks250125
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      yeah I'm surprised his ownership hasn't gone up that much

    WC team
    Hennessey Hamer
    Schlupp Mendy TAA pereira Bennett(4.0)
    Neves rich Keita Fraser mane
    Kun Kane Kamara
    G2g? £0 ib

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 12 Years

      Keita isn’t a very good pick.
      Schlupp COULD be ousted soon with Meyer ready to start. Just get AWB and pocket the change.
      Not certain Bennet will keep his spot, but not sure on this.
      No Salah, but you know that by betting on Kane instead.

  28. Gazpilicueta

    Hazard or Mane?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Haz

    2. Zladan
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard

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

    I got nothing in MNF only Shaw 2nd on bench

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      Get yer balls out mate 😆

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years

        Who do I drop to play him?

    If Firmino goes off this week, y’all bringing him back ?

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

      I don't like him this season. Daniel lurking too.

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

      If my toast lands butter side down on the cat litter tray I'm binning it.

    3. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 3 months ago

      the only way I keep him for one more week is if Auba, Laca, Morata, Arnie, Zaha, Mitro and Ings all don't score 😀
