Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 4 preview and latest team plans

Fantasy Football Scout founder Mark Sutherns is back ahead of Gameweek 4 to offer his latest musings and reveal his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) line-up over on our YouTube channel.

This video 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 this latest episode, the FPL BlackBox co-host is joined, as always, by Andy North.

Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) is, inevitably, the big talking point although with Andy’s Wildcard in play, there’s plenty more to cover.

Mark offers a review of Andy’s re-work, though he’s reluctant to offer any form of persuasion when it comes to the one final dilemma remaining: whether to opt for Ronaldo or Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m).

Find out why Mark has his own agenda on that matter and which way Andy is leaning by taking in this latest video offering for members.

    On a wildcard. Thoughts would be great

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Duffy
    Salah, Jota, Torres, Sarr
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Dennis

    Bench; Steer, Livramento, Amartey, Raphinha

    1. Schliegs
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Amartey may have lost his spot, I’d look elsewhere.

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Downgrade Dennis, upgrade Raphina to Greenwood
      Bachmann is surely superior to Sanchez with those fixtures and save points?

  2. Amartey Partey
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    It's one of those weeks where you sell Bruno and he hauls, or you don't get Ronaldo and then Ronaldo hauls. Tomorrow is going to be rough for some of us.

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Going to be toughest on the likes of me who has neither!

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        My condolensces.

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Get both

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I wish. The problem with doing that is you either get rid of Salah or have a threadbare team. Do you have them both?

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Quite possibly will do, with no Salah

          1. Amartey Partey
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I'm seriously debating it too, but not until after Salah has played Palace at Anfield. And it also depends on how Bruno and Ronaldo fare.

    3. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      or....Man Utd 0 - 1 Newcastle (Joelinton) FT

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        A million to one?

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Both staying quiet in a frustrating 0-0 match while king Mo bangs a hattrick would be nice

      1. H.E. Pennypacker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        aye, and if If Son is definitely out, I am thinking of a -4 and get Mane in with Mo.

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I agree that Salah could do well against Leeds, but it's so unlikely that there won't be United goals against Newcastle at Old Trafford. Who will score them is another matter altogether.

    5. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno is having a party and is very disappointed lots of people were coming but have cancelled on him this week to go to some older kids party instead. He says more cake for the faithful. He says the faithful will feast.

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I hope so. One last chance he does have. Don't let us down, Bruno.

  3. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best mid option under 8.3 that's not Greenwood, Jota or Benrahma?

    1. tbos83
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Torres

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yep

      2. Amartey Partey
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Torres for his next two games is worth the risk. Leicester and Southampton both with dodgy defences.

  4. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Will Son fall in price tonight?

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Difficult. So many WCders

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He’s 10.1 so drop shouldn’t matter

  5. james 101
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed

    WC. How does she look?

    Sanchez (Steele)

    TAA Christensen Coady (Williams Livra)

    Salah Jota Benrahma Greenwood (Allan)

    Ronaldo Antonio DCL

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The more i think about the more pointless getting Christensen this week is, awful fixtures, Silva back and might be dropped by GW7, would rather White for his next two

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah. He’s the one I’m most nervous about!

    2. Golden Company
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nice - I can’t even get this team 0.5 short

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate

  6. FPL Brains
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who would you go for? The Watford or Brighton keepers?

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bachmann out of the 2

    3. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Watford

      Save points. More exciting

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bachmann Duffy

    5. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Brighton. Better defence.

  7. Warby84
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any wild captain picks? Shaw vs a Wilson-less Newcastle could be viable…. (not saying I’m doing it)

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio?

      Greenwood?

      Jota?

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not for me, but Auba!

      1. Warby84
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sort of game he’ll get a brace

    3. TomSaints
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      TAA

      1. Blueberg
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You're welcome

    4. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Well, lots of people are putting the armband on a pensioner … that’s pretty wild

    5. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I've been debating giving it to Alonso.

  8. Golden Company
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    WC A or B - cheers!

    1. hotine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A but I’d take W x 4.5 def over Chris at this point coady and dier perhaps?

      1. hotine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        2*

  9. Simon69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Play

    A) Coady

    or

    B) Dier

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. hotine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  10. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Does anybody know is there any chance Lukaku is on pens for Chelsea?

    1. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably, as Jorginho's style has been predictable lately.

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Trying to decide between DCL or Lukaku.

        1. bOttOmEdpOstrEpliEr.
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Very tough decision, i got them both, good luck.

          1. Collie01
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks!

    2. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes there is a chance

  11. Schliegs
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who scored more points in the next 3 weeks?

    A. Tierney
    B. Semedo
    C. Saiss

    1. Schliegs
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Scores*

      1. Kim Kimani
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Tierney

      2. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        B. 2 CS and an assist.

    2. JoeSoap
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C
      clean sheets and by far the biggest attacking threat despite being the only CB which says a lot for the other two

    4. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tierney easily.

    5. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A I think

  12. tbos83
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pick the bones out of this WC squad:

    Sanchez Steele
    Livra TAA Shaw White Coady
    Sarr Salah Jota Gray Torres
    Antonio Toney Ronaldo

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      All decent except Toney, wouldn't bother getting him on WC. I'd downgrade a mid.

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

        Agree, no Toney on WC. Find money for DCL, Bamford, or Jiminez or downgrade to the Watford lad seeing as you're least expensive mid is 5.6

  13. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A. Ings>DCL
    B. Bruno/Ings>Torres/Ronaldo
    C. Bruno/Ings/Tsim>Jota/Ronaldo/Semedo (-4)
    D. Tsim>wolves defender

    Thinking A and monitor Utd situation.

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Almost same options here. Tough call to make. Utd fixtures aren't that good after Castle

      1. JoeSoap
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah not sure DCL plays & I already have RaphIna. Torres/Ronaldo starting risks. Tempted to do Ings>Jimmy.

  14. Etihader
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which transfer would you rather do:
    a) Toney -> Jimenez or
    b) Mbeumo -> Torres

    Until GW8. Jimenez has better fixtures and might score more but Torres could rise in price massively

    1. Roonster
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jiminez will start every game and find his form

    2. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The game is about scoring points not collecting price rises. If you think Jimenez scores more then get him

  15. Hutchiniho
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Put the money into Cancelo or Grealish?

    1. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo

  16. Roonster
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ronald & Traore
    or
    Jota & Jiminez
    ??
    Wild card planned for gw7

    1. StingRay
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Or Jota and CR7

      Jot A’s going up in price tonight.

  17. MikeLowrey
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Can’t bring myself to hit out Bruno in such a good fixture. Leaves me with the below options

    A) Tsimikas to Williams - free up Livepool spot
    B) Ings to Bamford
    C) Ings to Jimenez
    D) Roll FT

    Will aim to WC around GW7

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Roll it
      Tsimi might even play

  18. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pick a -4….
    Son, Ings, Barnes
    To
    A. Ronaldo, Trincao, Jota
    B. Ronaldo, Torres, Traore
    C. DCL, Torres, Mount
    D. Lukaku, Jota, Gray

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      E. Auba, Torres, Jota

    2. H.E. Pennypacker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A. I think Trincão is a great player

  19. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    For the first time ever, the Scout Picks are identical 2 gameweeks in a row! :O

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Either that or we get to play GW3 again, which I wouldn’t mind considering I only scored 43…

      1. Bennerman
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Can I add my weight to this? Crappy 50.

        Plus, I know who scores now

        1. Big boy Bowen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Hehe it’s the worst right before a break as well!

    2. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      As I say that it updates lol

  20. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A- Auba + Lukaku
    B- CR7 + Bamford

    Cheers

    1. Etihader
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like A a lot.

    2. Jontharon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Going for Lukaku this gw just to switch to ronaldo for the next

  21. JoeSoap
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Tempted on A myself, could be a nice differential

  22. Ligdon
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    No Ronaldo in the scout picks !!!

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

      Mark still in charge it seems 😉

  23. toonstar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which 2 from these 7 would you go with on WC? Cheers

    A) Raphinha
    B) Dan James
    C) Maddison
    D) Fornals
    E) Trossard
    F) Gross
    G) Lucas Moura

  24. gooberman

    'Locked in' is such a stupid term. It's all I see on twitter especially on Friday's. Gonna have to mute those words I think.

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      One of a few. Wildcard in back pocket is another one.

  25. Kielty
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who should I get for my 4th mid, Traore or Fornals?

    1. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Traore, Sarr

  26. damiang2233
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best replacement for Mahrez?

    1. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota

  27. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Evening.....good to go with these moves? With a late captaincy decision...

    bruno ings and tsimikas to ronaldo (c) jota and livramento - 4

    Sanchez
    Taa shaw ayling white tsimikas
    Salah bruno greenwood benrahma gilmour
    Ings antonio toney

  28. 11SPECIALONE11

    Would you wildcard for this team?

    Sanchez
    Trent, Duffy, Cedric
    Salah, Torres, Jota, Greenwood
    DCL, Ronaldo, Antonio

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years

      Wc to get that defence??

      Nooooooo

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If that’s your starting defence then nope …

  29. Jo72
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    WC

    Sanchez
    Reguilion - Jansson - Laporte
    Torres - Benrahma - Greenwood - Salah
    DCL - Ronaldo - Antonio

    Carson - Bissouma - Manquillo - James

  30. Chris_White
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    No clarity on Raphinha, am I right?

    Having both Wilson and Raphinha is painful. Could go Jimenez, but then he's not 100% either. Gah.
