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

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

          Livramento to Williams would enable that

            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)

            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.

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

              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.)

      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...

      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

        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.

    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?
