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.

    Budget fully used. Anything you would change?

    Sanchez
    TAA / Shaw / Semedo
    Salah / Jota / Raphinha / Traore
    Ronaldo (C) / DCL / Antonio

    Steele // White / Bissouma / Livramento

      Looks great

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

        Think you're 0.1m off but I'd rather have Tierney and Coady instead of White and Semedo though

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

          Livramento to Williams would enable that

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

            The move I'd make is Bissouma > 4.5 mid.

            I've looked at it but I'm not too positive on the Wolves CB situation. Coady isn't nailed if they go to a back four. I'd actually prefer Kilman but similar risk. Tierney also loves to get injured.

            Have a 'spare' FT so if Tierney goes mental I can shift Semedo and still take now hits even with GW7 Chelsea players (providing everything else went smoothly)

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

            Probably got Livra in for 4.0m so would guess not and reckon Livra is a genuine starter for some games while Williams will just be a 1 point player with Norwich's defense!

            Could do Biss to 4.4m Mendy but it means giving up a playing player, but maybe that's ok with 14 other starters.

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

              Got Livra at 4.1m actually. Bissouma is new on WC. Got at 4.6m so can easily move to 4.5m.

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

              Also - Williams isn't even nailed. I've been reading Norwich forums and he's not even in every starting XI prediction. (Funnily enough, the same is true for Gilmour.)

    2. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same exact team
      G2G

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

      Cheers.

      - Did want Torres. But Leicester had more time to prepare (Vest, Bertrand back, usually do OK vs. City)
      - Still not really sure about Ben White, but fixtures I guess
      - Still not sure about Bissouma over a 4.5m MID. But more likely for CS point. Most advanced thus far, etc.
      - I don't really like playing Raphinha this week. Could have a 1 GW punt instead, but probably wiser to stick...

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

      Jota won't start few games, not too sure about Traore as well, not much FPL potential if you compare with the likes of Harrison and Sarr. Rest looks good

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

        Jota will last a few games before I need to worry about him. Can become Mount (etc) very easily. I'm also not too sure on Traore but I'll give it a whirl with those stats, those fixtures & the teams he got them against. Again - there's other options at 6.0m I can shift to if it all goes up in smoke.

    5. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      nice team G2G for me

  2. FPL-(VAR)dy
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Play TAA or -8 to get Ronaldo(C)?

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      play TAA

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

      Hold

  3. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    SARR OR RAPHINHA

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

      Raph from next week

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

    Best under 6.4m defender to buy?

    1. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Cancelo

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      How long for timeframe?

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

        Next 4 weeks. I am on Tierney now.

  5. Miami Monkey
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA Shaw White (Livramento Amartey)
    Salah Bruno Greenwood Benrahma (Brownhill)
    DCL Antonio Toney

    1.4m ITB, 1 FT.

    A) Save FT
    B) Toney/Bruno --> CR7/Torres (-4)
    C) Toney/Bruno/Shaw --> CR7/Jota/Christensen (-8)
    D) Only Bruno --> Jota to catch price rise, take -4 next week for Ronaldo and taking out Shaw or Greenwood to afford

    Am I crazy for wanting to just save the transfer, to learn more info after this GW?

    1. storr84
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You basically have my team.

      I've subbed Bruno/Ings for CR7 & Torres.

      Now I'm concerned about White and Arsenal keeping a CS against Norwich.

      B or D.

  6. storr84
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone?

    A, Play Ben White
    B, Play Luke Ayling
    C, Sell Tsimikas and -4 for a starting 4.5 DEF

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Easy. A.

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years

      A

    3. AlphaTeam
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A defo, good fixtures. 50 mil defender. I wonder why Arsenal didn't buy two with that sort of money though, both Ronaldo and Varane are cheaper than him

      1. AlphaTeam
        • 5 Years

    Mahrez owners, what are you doing? I have a feeling he's going to punish me if I still him but he's about to drop and I use that logic to keep him every week. With Jesus cleared to play (so I heard) a start seems unlikely again right?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Right, you are one stubborn manager!

      1. fish&chips
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        OK, he's gone. 20 pointer incoming

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Upgraded him to Allan. Feels good.

  10. FPL Virgin

    Updated - Ronaldo starts!

    https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/team-news/

    Neale's done a Theresa May style 180 U-turn since this afternoon.

  11. tc93

    2 years, 6 months ago

    Welllllll I’m top 50k… and I’ve made my first pissed drunk transfers for the season haha!

    Template is the way to go this season a I think a front 3 of DCL Ronaldo and Antonio is sick - feel like my current team has a fantastic balance and has a really good balance to it in general

    I feel like a lot of people are WCing to get a V similar team- defo not worth it

    Opinions on the team?

    Sanchez
    TAA / Veltman / Shaw
    Salah / Jota / Raphinha / Benhrama /
    Antonio / Toney / Ronaldo (c)

    Foster, Ayling, Livramento, Gilmour

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

      If your that pissed captain Trent like a boss lol

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

        And when he says Trent he means Veltman

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

    Mason Greenwood or Ferran Torres?

    1. storr84
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Greenwood.

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

        Who will warm the bench then? Ronaldo/Pogba/Bruno will definitely play - It's between Sancho/Greenwood & to some extent Lingard for 1 spot

  13. Carrick Doesn't Deserv…
    • 11 Years

    Jota to rise tonight or is that just wildcard traffic?

    Just catching up from the news today. Are we thinking Ronaldo starts after solskjaers comments?

  23. Seekers of Glory
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    -4 to do
    Bruno, Ings to Ronaldo, Sarr/Traore/Greenwood worth it? If so for who
    Many thank

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes but I can't decide who to replace Bruno with

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

      No … hold Bruno … not worth a -4

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

    A) Jiminez and gray (leaves 1.7ITB)
    B) Adama DCL

    Or other combinations around similar price ranges ??

  25. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Do I get DCL?
    I have 1 FT this gw, but I'm afraid to get him and watch him getting rested this gw

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

      same here. Bamford might be the safer bet if you don't have him already

      1. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        don't want him in front of liverpool, would prefer a hit for cr7 or lukaku

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

      No hints in Benitez conference, I am in the same boat. Long term DCL looking good

  26. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Son, Tsimikas to Jota, Tierney (-4)? Today Jota will rise in price.

    Sanchez foster

  28. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) Jota, Sissoko
    B) Benrahma, Traore

    Which pair would you go for on a WC?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Do both need to be in your 11 each GW?

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This. Much easier A if you can bench Sissoko. Tough decision otherwise.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

          Much different if all 15 counted.

      Don't really like C but can see why.
      More about how much you want Ronaldo or Jota or both.

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

    Imagine telling someone last season you were removing Bruno for a hit before Newcastle at home. They would have been in hysterics laughing at you !

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

      Lol true but they'd have said who you getting Messi or Ronaldo.

    2. Bennerman
      • 5 Years

      Careful, two of the worst ever blokes on here used to kick off with that social media trope of a phrase.
