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.

    Sa, (steer)
    TAA, Shaw, White (duffy, wiliams)
    Salah, Jota, Greenwood, Sarr (allan)
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Jimenez

    please feel free to point any issues/improvements you can see...

    1. Lord Flashheart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      next week probably greenwood to raphinia

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

        Same move incoming probably

        1. Lord Flashheart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          anything you would change in the WC?

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good, hopefully Wolves decide to start scoring this week.

  3. V-2 Schneiderlin
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    choose:
    A. Greenwood
    B. Jota

    (medium term)

    What is a decent return for triple captain? Would a Ronaldo debut double or Lukaku haul against Villa B’s be worth triple captain for 30plus?

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

      Id take a 15point capt pick for tc if you offered it right now!

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

      15 minimum for me
      Got a KDB 17 last season and probably my best ever, usually a massive fail

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

        Have had 2 glorious ones, Alexis with his 75 will be a tough one to beat, and salah, I think popped up with a 66 couple seasons ago.

    3. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Double gws are best for triple captain

    4. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Well I’ve always used in a DGW but never got more than 8.

      1. bassline1234
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I've always used in DGW and it's worked out more often than not, deffo remember Aguero getting some big points!

    5. V-2 Schneiderlin
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      usually would save for a DGW - neither option seems that certain tbh

  5. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Taking until 11pm the day before ko to confirm the players are allowed to play is a complete piss take tbf. Should have been sorted days ago.

  6. Zogzeg
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A. Ron (C) + Jim
    B. Rom (C) + Dom

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

    Anyone know how long Firminio is out for? Jota worth getting in?

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

      No ones sure
      Just bought him back in after selling LW 🙄

  9. HuttonDressedasLahm

    No WC

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years

      Bruno is the outstanding captain pick this week for me.

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

        Haven’t owned this season

    2. G00LI0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bruno to bust the traitors this week.

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

        Never owned him
        Went Greenwood instead

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

    a) Bruno & Ings > Torres & Ronaldo (-4)
    b) Tsimikas, Bruno & Ings > Marcal, Jota & Ronaldo (-8)

    Hi folks

    Who to bench? A) Raphina (LIV) or B) Semedo (wat)

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

      B. Play the attacking upside.

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

        What is this 'upside' I hear a lot about? Juts sounds like potential points, a basic concept that has existed since the dawn of sentient thought.

    2. Lav
      • 7 Years

      A

      1. Lav

        Wrong person

  12. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed

    A) Tsimikas -> Digne, play Ings
    B) Tsimikas -> Christensen, play Ings
    C) Tsimikas -> Tierney, play Ings
    D) Ings -> DCL, play Ayling

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

      B

  13. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Ings > DCL
    Bruno (c)

    There I said it

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

      Wow

  14. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would love some help please guys the dilemma is killing me… essentially between:

    1. Raphinha
    2. Jota (-4)

    With the news Raph is cleared to play, what is the best option:

    1. Fernandes Ings >> Raphinha Ronaldo [then Toney >> DCL next week]
    2. Tsimikas Fernandes Ings >> Livramento Jota Ronaldo (-4) [then Benrahma >> Raphinha next week]

    Thanks guys

    What are the odds CR7 starts?

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      110%

      1. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        impossible.

    2. Firminooooo

      89%

    3. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

      20% or less

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

        What makes you so pessimistic about him starting?

        1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Realistic not pessimistic.
          He's going to want the big stage to himself. Standing ovation all to himself with 30 minutes to go with United 2 up sounds about right. Ole basically said it aswell

          1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            He'll score a brace then

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

      1-4 imo
      Pretty sure his contract will say “he plays”
      Ole is trying to look like he’s in charge, but he’s not

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

      %age is not odds

    6. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Simple 100%

    7. waldo666

  16. Purse83
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    The energy on this group convinced me to Wildcard.

    I had taken a -4 to bring in Ronnie before Son and Raph clipped my heels!

    Lunchtime session start so enjoy your weekend guys knowing I’ll be either toasting you all or drowning my sorrows!

    Good luck!

    Bryan Gil for punt if u have WC ?
    Yaaay
    Nope not fit play

  18. The_FF_King
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I really don’t want to lose Fernandes and really want Ronaldo. So shall I do:

    Shaw, Trent, Ings
    to
    Livramento, Reguilón, Ronaldo

    for -4

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

      Those moves are fomo.

    2. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      God no. The betting market doesn't even think Ronaldo will start.

      1. tommo1989
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        What from the betting market makes you think Ronaldo won’t start?

      2. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Bookies are guessing, just like the rest of us.

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      No. Drop BruNO Penaldes

    4. The_FF_King

      Thanks for taking me out of that madness!

  19. Bartowski

    Sky Team enforced wildcard team:

    Sa
    Trent Shaw Semedo
    Raph Gray Torres Benrahma
    Salah Ron Antonio

    Thoughts and Prayers?

      I'd prefer Calvert to Jimi

  21. AnyoneButLiverpool
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any idea if Ramsdale will start tomorrow?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lol

      1. AnyoneButLiverpool
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        what's so funny?

        1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ramsdale tickles me

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

            This ain't that kind of site (etc etc)

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

      The idea of signing Ramsdale was that he’ll be the future number 1 and to give Leno competition. The idea of competition goes out the window if Ramsdale starts, when Leno has done nothing wrong to be dropped.

  22. Jdpz

    Sanchez foster
    TAA Ayling Reguilon Cash Tsimikas
    Salah Bruno Son Raphinha Benrahma
    Antonio Toney perica

    0m itb. 1 FT, What to do?? c?

    a) Cash to Tierney
    b) Son to Torres
    c) Son, Tsimikas to Jota, Tierney (-4)
    d) Son, Perica to Torres, Jimenez (-4)
    e) Son, Perica to Traore, DCL (-4)

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

      Quite like C

  23. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    RP - Is TAA out too big of a void to fill? Currently on this.

    Sanchez
    VVD, Christensen, Coady
    Salah, Torres, Benrahma, Gray
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Lukaku

    (Steele, White, Gilmour, Livramento)

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      nearly everyone will say yes, but for my own team if someone were to ask this A or B question i know what my answer would be every time

      A) TAA, Odegaard
      B) Shaw, Greenwood

      TL;DR other players can score points too

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

        Thanks for replying. Yeah I might just risk it. Have VVD to soak up any clean sheets regardless and if TAA is on fire for whatever reason, it’s easy to downgrade one of Ronaldo/Lukaku to fund him.

  24. C-Dawgg
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    If money is no object who is the best pick of the Wolves defenders?

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

      Semedo

    2. *Reformed-Character*
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      saiss comfortably

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Coady

    4. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Semedo

    5. C-Dawgg
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Haha thanks guys... really clears that up

  25. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    G2G?

    So many risks! Luckily they are nullified by the templateyness of the team

  26. Stormbringer22
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Guys, please help me, I've been out all day and am back home really inebriated and need to do my transfers. 2FTs

    A. Mahrez + Ings > DCL + Jota
    B. Bruno + Ings > Ronaldo(C) + Jota

    Thank you all

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

      Hahaha, love this wild inebriation.

      I'd just leave it personally, look at it over a bacon sandwich tomorrow.

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

      B is slightly riskier given we don’t know if Ronaldo starts but I think it might be worth it.

  27. AnyoneButLiverpool
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is it stupid to go for Robertson instead of TAA?

    1. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It is

  28. You've got red on you.

  29. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    In your opinion Does Ronnie start or no?

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

      I’m guessing no but he doesn’t need the full game.

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

    DCL or Jimi?

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

      DCL easy

    2. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Currently same dilemma... Have DCL at the moment
