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

    Chances of a Brighton v Watford nil nil?

      Nil

    3. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years

      Well I'm playing both goalkeepers, so it's a 'yes please' from me!

        'all out defense' chip?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Sure, double protection chip.

      2. Von Lipwig

    Look at City's 2nd from bottom. Gundog was basically a striker...

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah I watched the match and was very encouraged. Was in the penalty box a lot.

    2. Pacer.
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Son $$$

    3. Nanoelektronicar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Always has been since Aguero fell out.

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Yep, we should feel a tad unlucky if he blanks vs Norwich.

    5. Our Tiny Windows
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Chelsea are monsters.

  3. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 5 months ago

    Harvey Elliot starting for Pool apparently

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Instead of who?

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      wheres this?

    3. HippY
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Fantastic young talent, hope he takes the chance! Could easily haul today.

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Excellent

    5. @persecuted_by_mods
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Not good news for Jota but hopefully he survives

        1. Scapegoat Salah
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Jota striker position

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            As in there’s where he would normally play

    6. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone else now with 2 free’s and no clue how to use them?

      Already have son, salah, Bruno

      2 x 4.0 defenders but 0 ITB!

      Hopefully something will come up ?

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Just tinkering at the edges then, you have the main men

      2. Tcheco
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Same here. Thinking of nothing g is obvious, could use one transfer & then have 2 again after the IB

        1. Tcheco
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          If nothing is obvious**

      3. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Same position and got White so with nothing pressing might consider changing him before Man City away (if Tsim’s time is up)

      4. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Know what you mean. I don’t have Son, but he’s in my thoughts.

        Might come to it and we just use 1FT to tidy up some smaller isssues, like Veltman potentially for me

      5. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Yep. Might make one trade and keep two for gw4.

        1. Steve The Spud
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Tiz the noble action

      6. Gunners in Haaland
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Ings/Mahrez -> Lukaku/Sarr is my plan

    7. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      That was a good video, I enjoyed that. Interesting thoughts re Arsenal and I think the Sarr option is definitely a goer.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Sarr from game week 4 looks really good, for Raph I think if he looks like missing 4 and 5

    8. Thanos
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      Will be a wierd match for me. Salah and Tsi owner. Capped Bruno.

      Only thing to do now.... Go Burnley 😆

    9. Jdpz
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      How long will the FPL website be operational? Like a season ago?

      1. Podge
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Was much quicker last week

    10. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 5 months ago

      So I've Bench Boosted. Disappointed in Veltman missing out, so I used my FT on Duffy. That allows me to upgrade Tsimikas to Matip next..

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        How long do we expect Duffy to keep on starting?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Probably just this game, but as I say, I'll have one 4m def on the bench until wildcard. My other 4 are good to go.

      2. Utopsis
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 5 months ago

        Won't Veltman go straight back in for Duffy?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Yes, I'm cool with that. I set up my GW1 squad to BB in GW2. That means I have 2 keepers and a Brighton defender, plus Tsimi. I want to lose the keeper in my next 2FT, and Tsimi will be redundant. If I don't BB now, with 2x4m defenders with a good chance of CS, and 2 operating goalkeepers, I won't get a chance in the future.

          1. Utopsis
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Good point re: the BB - the other school of thought is to BB for a DGW of course, but that tends to be a damp squib so you're probably onto something

      Tsimikas & Jota start #ad

      @FPL_Rockstar

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Yesssss

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Took all my nerve to not transfer him for Greenwood

              1. Simon69
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                Same. Phew.

                1. Scapegoat Salah
                  • 9 Years
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  We did it 🙂

                  1. Simon69
                    • 13 Years
                    4 years, 5 months ago

                    Most restraint I've used in FPL I reckon!

              2. Bubz
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                I was tempted

          2. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Lawd have mercy

          3. Holmes
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Yessssssssssss, lets go.............

          4. Thanos
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Tsi was always likely to start this game. Jota was the one at risk.

          5. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Music to my ears.

            Salah and Trent too presumably?

            1. Simon69
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 5 months ago

              He just tweeted those two and that Roberton is on the bench - Knows what the people want 😉

          6. Simon69
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            & Robbo on the bench - Comeback is on.

        • The Son-dance Kid
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Is there a different algorithm for player price rises than drops? The aggregate of price drops each season are greater than the aggregate of price increases (iirc). This GW alone, 10 rises vs 31 drops.

        • ☈☾
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Step 1: Jack Grealish draws foul.
          Step 2: Kevin De Bruyne delivers.
          Step 3: John Stones scores.

          Rinse repeat!

          1. Thanos
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            Yesss!!! Took a hit to get in Stones!

          2. Andy_Social
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 5 months ago

            KDB doesn't start

        • Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 5 months ago

          Salah to Son a reasonable transfer if Salah is likely to miss GW4?

              Just need Tsi to make 60

            3. It’s gonna Ben Mee

              Always was very short term

          Elliott? Who he? Klopp bantering us.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              4 years, 5 months ago

              Very talented young player, think greenwood Neto Saka Martinelli, could be the season he's put on the map

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  4 years, 5 months ago

                  As in future star level

                • 11 Years
                4 years, 5 months ago

                You'll be surprised. I am glad he puts Elliott vs deep defending side.

              3. Hazz
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years

                He's actually really quite decent.

              4. Defcons are for Kinnear
                • 12 Years

                    • 15 Years

                    Had a very impressive season on loan at Blackburn last season. Without him and Adam Armstrong we would have been relegated!

                Our most talked about young player.

              7. Hopefully the one who will be subbed on 59 instead of Jota

            • Drexl Spivey
              • 7 Years

                Likewise, just as well though, it meant I didn't get tempted to switch captaincy from Mahrez.

                    Why not make your preferred changes and bus team on Friday evening after pressers. Nothing really changes much by Saturday deadline apart from Friday night deadlines and a few rumors and whispers of who might start in the early kickoff. That way even if you forget the Saturday deadline you should be good.

                    Hoping for a goal or assist as a parting gift as he probably won't feature any time soon again.

                    like the look of Son or Ings

                      4 years, 5 months ago

                      Mahrez to son would be the transfer I would do probably

                  Site updates very quickly this season, and with the mid-day league ranking updates. FPL investing their time wisely it seems
