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.

        Thanks all - 0.2 off my draft with Cancelo in it LOL

        Alonso expected to be dropped then?

        1. Il Capitano
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Might have one more game in him, but Chilwell's back in contention now

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

            Where’s he been? Seen loads of plaundits for Alonso this season

    4. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo

  2. Khark

    What time in the UK do the price rises happen? Isit like 2.30am? can't remember

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2.30 - 3.00am

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

        Cheers thought so! Can't okay my team coz im potentially making 0.1 on gray this wildcard ... thats the highlight of my international break.

        1. Riders of Yohan
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Haha definitely bank that! Only piece of positive news from this IB

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

          How are you going to make 0.1?

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

    I think Fernandes to Ronaldo for a hit isn't worth it. I'd rather wait till GW7 for Lukaku... however, I would have to hold Ings for 3 awful fixtures so think I'm going to do it

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Both kaku and CR7 May price raise so be mindful if looking far in advance

    2. HD7
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ings to DCL?

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

        Have him and Antonio. I don't want to bring in anyone else and waste a transfer.

  4. @Bryan
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hi - quick sense check please. I own Wilson and intend to likely replace him with one of DCL or Jimenez. I used my FT already and have no other squad issues. Therefore I plan on benching Wilson, playing White instead and taking the likely price drop on Wilson tonight.

    My logic is that I have a good bench player to come on, therefore don’t need to take the -4pts except to save team value. I think the extra week of information and saving the hit is worth it.

    Sensible approach or should I take the -4pts?

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

      Don't be scared of price drops. -4 for a 0.1 price drop is stupid. White is a perfect replacement this week

      1. @Bryan
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, White coming in likely does seal the deal for me. Always knew with Antonio and Wilson in my squad this was a risk I’d have to cover at some stage with some squad depth! The pro of taking the hit now though would not only be to save the 0.1, but also covers the problem long term. But yeah I think holding is the sensible play here.

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

          It's home to Norwich you can't ask for a better fixture. If arsenal don't win and win comfortably, most likely to nil, arteta is going to get crucified!

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

      Sense check? Logic? Sensible approach?
      You must be thinking of somewhere else, rational thought is a rare concept round here.

      (Personally would just get Jimenez in now)

      1. @Bryan
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks!

    3. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah a hit for -0.1 does not make sense

      1. @Bryan
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        True true, cheers

    4. Swahealy
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Take the -4 for DCL especially with they're next 3. Just dont buy the way overpriced has been ronaldo. #shouldawentformessi

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

    How long till price changes?

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

      2:30 so 2.5 hours

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

      Who is changing in price tonight? No-one as usual

  6. Nando7
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    RMT please, any advice appreciated!
    On a wc
    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw marcal
    Jota Traore Ben Salah
    Antonio CR7 DCL

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wolves dbl up is risky but not bad

      1. Nando7
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers and yep, have 0.5 ITB would you suggest any upgrades ?

  7. sully29
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) Raphina + Jiminez
    B) Traore + Bamford

    Same teams, same price. Which do you prefer over their run of fixtures.

    1. Ashleyajolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      B

    2. Mr-Inbetween

      A

    3. OneArseneWenger32

      A prob gets more fpl points

  8. HD7
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1FT

    Ings to DCL or if you have something better in mind?

    Sanchez
    Shaw Trent White
    Salah Bruno Madders Grealish Benrahma
    Antonio Ings

    Steele Tsimikas Amartey Bissouma

    1. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes from me

      1. HD7
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        or maybe Jimenez?

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

    On WC with no Ronaldo:

    Pickford
    TAA Semedo Dier
    Salah Jota Greenwood Benrahma
    Lukaku (c) DCL Antonio

    4.0GK - Allan Ayling B.Williams

    Feels a bit light in the backups area :/

    1. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I have Ronaldo and Rom in mine but that looks good. Bench is fine

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

        Cheers!

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Seems okay. You'd think it's only a matter of time before both of Jota and Greenwood are droppable, which is a risk but also means you'll be able to free up funds fairly easily with a switch to a 6.5/6m mid.

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

        Exactly my plans, there are Rapinha, Traore, and Sarr. Also would consider Mount comes GW7. Cheers!

  10. chilli con kone

    A. Saka and Pukki
    B. Dele and Pukki

    Any chance Son plays tomorrow? Or can I just do Son > Jota and go to bed?

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

      Jota and Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    2. chilli con kone

      100% out

    3. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Apparently not looking likely! I would go to Jota

    4. R.C
      • 6 Years

      Sell

    5. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years

      sell

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

    0.2 off this and fuming

    Sanchez
    Trent | Cancelo | Shaw
    Bruno | Greenwood | Jota | Torres | Sarr
    Kane | Antonio

    Steele | Livramento | Williams | Scarlett

    Any ideas please?

    Thanks

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

      Cancelo to any number of cheaper defenders... Scarlett to Dennis.

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

        Thinking Cancelo to Alonso

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

      Kane to Lukaku 😉

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

        Don’t swear at me

    3. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You’ll be further away when Bruno prices drops and u own him

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

        But he’ll increase 0.2 back up by next week 😉

    4. chilli con kone
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Kane to Lukaku has to be

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

        Agreed, but if not...

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

        It’s a 14 player game for me

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

      I know the Shaw love for United and there next 4. But i argue Digne for 0.1 less is just as good for the next 3. You'll be getting rid of shaw for a chelsea defender no doubt anyway? Theres 0.1 saving for you.

      Livramento down to another 4.0?

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

        Thanks, still believe Shaw will be one of the bargains of the season at his price.
        And many will change their opinions once the inevitable attacking returns start accumulating.

        Don’t think there’s any other 4.0 defenders other than Williams who are likely to start.

        Think I’ll go Cancelo to Alonso and 0.1ITB.
        Most predicted lineups have Alonso starting, except FFS for some reason

    6. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Kane to Lukaku, would be an upgrade too

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

        Can’t say that after what Kane has done in the prem over the years.
        Plus he’s top of the table with Spurs atm with fixtures turning..

    7. R.C
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sell TAA and Cancelo. Not worth the $$

      No Ronaldo or Lukaku is going to destroy you this GW

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

        Trent at 7.5 will be better VFM than both of those imo.
        Captain points I know but I have Kane/Bruno for that

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

      Sarr to Gray

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

        Maybe an option, really like Sarr though

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

      I like it except Cancelo, very tempted on something similar.

      Sanchez
      TAA Shaw White (has better fixtures than Cancelo and Alonso)
      Salah Greenwood Jota Torres Gray/Sarr is a tough one!
      Ronaldo Antonio
      Steele Liv Williams Scarlett

      Leaves 1.3m ITB?

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

    I've seen people debating DCL fitness after that rafa comment but the way I saw it -

    - He did have pain before this break and was playing through it
    - But now has recovered well over break, hence Rafa saying he expects a higher level, as he now has less pain playing games
    - Different to what people have been saying that he now is injury risk, as he played through that, but now is in better shape is how I saw it

    Thoughts?

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

      People watching the training have some theories https://twitter.com/FPL_Will/status/1436001999175176193

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

      See it the same way, but that Rondon signing last minute has to mean he will be rested at some point, maybe this GW?

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

      Seems ok on this follow-up Benitez comment?

      Benitez: "The majority of the players are fine, we have 2/3 issues. Yerry Mina is training, Ben [Godfrey] is training. Seamus, I think he will be available. Delph has a problem with his shoulder, that's the longest [absence] we maybe have. Davies is very close."

  14. Nightf0x

    4.5 mid whom? Allan or sisoko

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years

      Prefer sissoko

  15. FantasyClub
    • 3 Years

    When you play your WC you can chop n change up until deadline with no hits right?

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah you can just be careful of losing value on a player you sell and then get back in (if their price changes)
