Mark Sutherns’ Gameweek 2 thoughts: City, price rises, Gundogan and Odegaard

Fantasy Football Scout’s very own Mark Sutherns has been discussing Gameweek 2 thoughts and his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) team over on our YouTube channel.

This is an exclusive for Premium Members – and there’ll be plenty more to come in 2021/22.

Mark will be filming one video just for subscribers every week throughout the upcoming campaign, so sign up via this link in order to see them.

In his latest video, the FPL BlackBox co-host is joined by video regular Andy.

Manchester City are on the agenda, as the pair discuss their line-up thoughts and ponder what to do with Ilkay Gundogan (£7.5m).

The arrival of Martin Odegaard (£5.5m) at Arsenal, and the potential impact on Emile Smith Rowe (£5.5m), is also cause for discussion.

Mark and Andy chat about price rises and their approach to them before captaincy and next week’s plans comes under the spotlight

    Currently on Salah captain, but like most I guess, thinking of switching to Bruno. Both can haul, both performed well last week, but what swings it for me is I have 3 pool and 2 United. Salah cap I’d have 4 United, whereas if I have Bruno cap I’d have 3 pool and 3 United.

    Is this sound logic or an over complication??

              I mean he should, and he's likely to be on pens. But a 1 pointer would really hurt this week if he doesn't start and comes on. Salah and Bruno will probably both score.

      I guess that if City didn't have Norwich as there second fixture most of us wouldn't have started out with him in the first place. He's a perfectly reasonable differential to the other two imo.
