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

    Do we think Jota will start?
    Possible to play firmino as a 10 and both play?

    1. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Thats what Im thinking. Keita and Milner in holding mid and all four playing

    2. Maeki2

      Jota better to shoot from outside box since burnley will back home

    Having second thoughts on playing Coufal ahead of Ayling. Which would you play?

    1. Sim Simma
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Ayling for me

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Coufal

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Coufal

    4. Skorr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I have Coufal ahead of Ayling, although both are on the bench.

        Shiz is about to hit the fan!

  4. Whats the Mata?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Start Ayling or Coufal???

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      See above

    2. Skorr

    Any news if KDB starts?

    1. Thewoodyhorse
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Very unlikely

  6. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Will Salah continue his non-scoring form against Burnely or will this be the day he banishes that terrible statistic ?

    1. dark91
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      + not scoring in GW2

      I feel he will return something today

    2. JT11fc
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      1 goal methinks

    3. Conor1
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I think he gets a hat trick today. He will earn me and many other captainers 40 plus points

    4. Sᴄʜᴜ̈RRʟᴇ ⓝ
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      B

  7. Kun Tozser
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Salah needs 2 goals today to match Henry's 100 goals in 160 games

    Can he do it?

    1. Skorr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Probably not, tbf
      Hope so though, he is my captain for this week.

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    3. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Can one of the greatest goal scorers in premier league history score 2 goals at home against Burnley ?

      1. Union_Jacks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Lol

    4. Conor1
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      He will do it.

  8. Merlinho
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Start Ayling or Smith Rowe lads?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Ayling

  9. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    I do see Salah scoring today but I feel Bruno has the potential to get a goal and more.

    1. The Final Boss
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      More means yellow?

      1. TKC07
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Pen miss

  10. Orion
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Play Alonso or Benrahma?
    Cheers

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Ben

    2. Conor1
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I’d play Alonso

  11. Mr_Barbs
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Bench all set?

    Sanchez
    Taa, tsimikas, Shaw
    Salah(c), greenwood, Barnes, grealish, Buendia
    Ings, Antonio

    Foster, Toney, coufal, ayling

    1. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I’d play Toney ahead of Barnes/Buendia

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Oh dear

  12. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Obafemi still likely to go on loan?

  13. Arvin-ation
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Just found this. Idk how reliable...

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Why would Milner be captain when Henderson starts?

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        good spot

      2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Not only that why would Jota be benched after scoring match winning goal last week?

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Silly comment tbh. He could very realistically be benched. Good scoring record vs. Burnley.

          1. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            I know, I was tongue in cheek typing that lol

            1. Hazz
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

              My bad, whooshed right over me.

      3. Arvin-ation
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Good spot! No tsimikas makes no sense to me just sharing

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 8 months ago

            He was vulnerable on the crosses against norwich and Burnley have caused Liverpool big issues with them before, even though this is clearly fake don't be surprised if Tsmi doesn't start

      4. Guru Mediation
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        As per comments, seems fake - Milner captain with Hendo starting

      5. Thomas Magnum
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Gudmundsson misspelled as well

      6. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Looks very fake to me

      7. The Red Devil
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Spion HQ or some account is much more reliable

      8. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Teamsheets don't exist until 90 minutes prematch

        Both clubs will submit their teams 90 minutes before the match, and then the match centre prints the combined teamsheet after that 90-minute deadline

        That's why the FPL deadline was shifted to 90 minutes. No real teamsheet can EXIST until then, killing trustworthy team news leaks as an advantage 🙂

        1. Podge
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          But they exist just not submitted

      9. Sᴄʜᴜ̈RRʟᴇ ⓝ
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        No Tsimi?

    2. Klip Klopp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Can I get some help. I'm already bottom of my league:

      Martinez
      Shaw, Tsmikas, Tierney
      Son, Havertz, Salah, Mahrez, Raphina,
      Antonio, Ings

      Bench: foster, Coufal, Obafemi, Veltman

      1FT 0itb

      A. Havertz --> Pogba
      B. Havertz + Mahrez --> Bruno + 5.3 mid
      C. Havertz --> Grealish
      D Havertz --> Greenwood
      E. Anything else?

      1. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Keep Havertz and reassess again next week.

        1. Walter White (WW)
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          Or this since it’s Arsenal

      2. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Prefer C

    3. marcos11
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Go Digne over Tsimikas incase hes benched? Or is it unlikely he comes on anyway?

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Think it’s fake- stick with Tsimikas-

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        The probably fake leak soesnt even have Tsimikas on the bench, so if true won't sub on. Just start Tsimikas if that was the plan.

    4. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Mods are really active today. Way less FUD than usual before deadline. Well done!
