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.

    Repost. Can anyone spare a minute to give me your take on this? Thanks.

    Have Son and Raphina. If neither of them play then Livramento and Ayling come in. So, is Son to Torres or Jota worth a -4?

    A) Bruno & Toney --> CR7 & Gray (free, no playing backup for Son)

      Not looking good for Son - think he had a chance of starting? Otherwise consider potential moves even if -4 to replace him. Not the best fixtures coming up anyway. A not ideal fielding 10 maybe less if surprise benchings

        Yeah also thought that, but couldn't resist going for Lukaku at home to Villa if I'm on WC. Seems like a bit of a waste otherwise. The idea is the rest of my team is pretty set and forget for a lil while since its planned more long term

      Crazy that people are buying Ronaldo like mad but selling Shaw like mad
      Surely if you believe Ronaldo will score a lot, Shaw is pretty great value due to CR7 scoring a lot of headers and Shaw being probably the best crosser in the team!

    Hi gents. Advice appreciated.

    Thinking of doing Tsimikas, Son, Bruno and Toney to Tierney, Torres, Jota and (C)R7 for a -8. Thoughts?

    Other option is to do a -4 and hold Tsimikas but can’t bring in Jota, maybe Greenwood alternative. Thoughts?
