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.

    Right I’m finally settled, plan would be Torres > Raph next week I think, got 0.2m in the bank!

    Would you prefer shaw over Rudiger?

    Sanchez
    Trent - Rudiger - Coady
    Salah - Jota - Torres - Traore
    DCL - CR7 - Antonio

    Bench: Steele - Sissoko - Livramento - Williams

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

      I would hold Torres for 2 GW imo

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

        Yeah was a gameweek or two, probably hold for 2!

    2. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      if you have 0.2 just get Chilwell now

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

        For Rudiger?

      2. OneArseneWenger32
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Ballzy!! So that’s the end of Alonso?

    3. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Kaku instead of CR7 or Mount instead of Jota..Chelsea gonna maul villa

      We're on near identical teams but you've gone;

      DCL + Jota + Torres
      Vs my
      Lukaku + Sarr + Gray

      Looks good imo.

  2. Ligdon

    Does Jota and Ronaldo (-4) outscore Bruno and Bamford over the next 3 weeks ?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No

      1. Ligdon
        • 8 Years

        Thanks, Im thinking of just getting bam bam

      Are you captaining either from either options?

      1. Ligdon
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        No probably not !

  3. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Tsimikas, Son, Ings > Varane, Jota, DCL -8?

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

      yes

  4. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    A) Digne
    B) Tierney
    C) Semedo

    1. Fantasyfreakstephen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Semedo

  5. Gideons Rolling Another One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on latest draft?

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA, Shaw, Cancelo, James (Livramento)
    Salah, Torres, Greenwood, Jots (Allan)
    Lukaku, Antonio (4.5)

    0.3 left in the bank

    Debating wether to change Cancelo + Torres for DCL + Gray? Would mean changing to 3,4,3

    Thoughts?

  6. roghippo
    • 9 Years

    Captain Ronaldo or Lukaku

    Ings Antonio Scarlett

    2FT & 0.4ITB

    Ings > CR7

    Scarlett > ?

    Any ideas?

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

      Son + Ings to Ronaldo + Traore

  8. Il Capitano
    • 3 Years

    DCL + Bruno or Jota + Ronaldo (-4)?

    1. HODGE

      Jota ron

  9. School of Poch

    Sorry for repost - bottomed!

    Would appreciate any thoughts on the below moves, happy to try and offer any help in return

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Shaw Dier White Amartey
    Salah Bruno Son Benrahma Gilmour
    Antonio Ings Obafemi
    1FT 0.5ITB

    A: Son > Jota/Torres
    B: Ings Son > Ronaldo Sarr/Traore (-4)
    C: WC to team below or something similar

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA Semedo Dier White Livramento
    Salah Jota Torres Benrahma Allan
    Ronaldo DCL Antonio

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

      A

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Who do you prefer out of Jota/Torres?

    2. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      or D: Ings > DCL

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Def not C. I’d go with B - in similar position but the way team set up can only afford Gray. Not ideal but may work out

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks I am moving further away from the WC the more I think about it. Annoyingly I'm 0.1 off Son Ings > Torres Lukaku that would have been perfect.

        Just thought of Son Ings > Torres/Jota DCL as another potential option

  10. Daniyal
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    seems they have scraped the scout picks article this week ? or just unusually delayed ?

  11. Sid07
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    1) ings to DCL
    2) ings + bruno + ronaldo + Torres(-4)
    3) ings + bruno + ronaldo + sarr (-4)

    1. toonstar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      1 seems safe - 2 could haul

  12. Super John McGinn-
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez, Foster
    TAA, Shaw, Ayling, Livramento, Tsimikas
    Salah, Bruno, Son, Raphinia, Gilmour
    Ings, Antonio, 4.5

    2 FT 0.5 ITB

    A) Wildcard
    B) Son + 4.5 > Traore + DCL
    C) Son + Ings > Traore + Ronaldo
    D) Tsimikas + Son + Ings > Coady + Jota + DCL (-4)
    E) Tsimikas + Son > Coady + Jota

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      C with Sarr imo

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

      C

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

        Actually D. Jota is a very good option now

  13. Lingard’s Shin Guards
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Jota or Greenwood?

    1. _Gunner
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Jota

    2. School of Poch
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Jota

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

      Jota

  14. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Best 4.5 Keeper on WC?

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I've gone for Sanchez

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Guaita maybe

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Still probably Sanchez IMO

      1. _Gunner
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I was thinking Bachmann because of the fixtures

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Thing about this is, most will play their next wildcard in about 30 weeks time and it's rare you ever have a 'spare' transfer to swap a keeper, so (short-term) fixtures shouldn't really matter.

          Sanchez doesn't really do the bonus and saves, but Brighton are decent defensively. Don't think there will be another Martinez or Pope this season, but if there is I'd say Raya has a decent chance at that price.

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Could be an ok shout, just have to think long-term

          Brighton are a decent defense (so far the 3rd fewest SoT conceded, level with Liverpool) so would say has the best clean sheet prospects long-term

          Ideally you want a good GK that makes a lot of saves and hence racks up a lot of bonus. Not sure who that is this season. Ramsdale could be interesting at 4.5m if he becomes first choice, he had been improved at his time during Sheff Utd despite a poor start.

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

      Sanchez

  15. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Am I wrong c Bruno over Salah?

    Feel more goals in United’s game?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      No, perfectly sound

  16. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Does Chilwell start this week?

    1. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Doubt it

  17. Muscout
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    A) Greenwood
    B) Jota
    C) Mount
    D) Torres

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

      Not C. Take your pick from the other 3.

    2. toonstar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Jota for me on fixtures too also with Firmino being out

  18. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Best 4.5m defender?

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

      Dier

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Hes 4.6 now

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Ayling could be ok if you can bench this week

    3. toonstar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Marcal, Wolves fixtures excellent

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Is he pretty nailed?

        1. toonstar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

          Wey he started all 3 games so as nailed as you can get I suppose

  19. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Thoughts on Ben White?

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

      Ben Shiite

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Hes in my team now. Minimal Arsenal investment.

      1. cravencottage
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Mine as well

  21. ididnt
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Jota or mount?

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

      Jota

    2. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Mount more long term 5-7 weeks,jota out scores him over next 3

  22. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    a) Alonso
    b) Tierney

    1. toonstar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      B Tierney for fixtures and price also less rotation risk

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

    Any suggestions on where I can shave off 0.1 to do Rudiger > R.James?

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA, Coady, Rudiger (Duffy, Livra)
    Salah, Jota, Torres, Benrahma (Sissoko)
    Ronaldo, Antonio, DCL

    1. Kaz77
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Williams rather than Livra

    2. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Sissoko -> Mendy

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      James banned this week though
      Duffy to Williams?

    4. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Lirva to 4.0

    5. Purse83
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Coady to White

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

      Thanks all!

  24. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Will Ings drop tonight?

  25. nerd_is_the_werd
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Who to bench:

    1) Benrahma
    2) Gray
    3) Torres
    4) Reguilon

    It's currently on Torres, but he might get a random haul and with Jesus out may play 90 mins in ST / CF position.
    Leicester (away) is hard fixture though.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      4

    2. Kaz77
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure Lei have been that tight at the moment, and City have been scoring for fun! I would rather play Torres than Reg

    3. toonstar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Gray for me

    4. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Jesus is not out

  26. Kaz77
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Getting myself confused, as we all are no doubt! Help would be appreciated with the final decision:
    1. Digne and Traore
    or
    2. Marcal and Mount

    Many thanks all

  29. toonstar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC Squad?

    Sanchez, Meslier
    TAA, Digne, Tierney, Coufal, Marcal
    Salah, Raphinha, Fornals, Odegaard, Sissoko
    Ronaldo, Richarlison, Jimenez

    Any changes recommended?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty differential!
      Think too much spent in defence
      Not convinced on Odegaard
      DCL over Rich if possible

      1. toonstar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I'm thinking 5 ATB tomorrow haha. Can't get to DCL. And was thinking either Odegaard or Smith Rowe (flagged)?

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Bachmann or Guaita in goal

  30. Daniyal
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    A) Torres + Christensen + Coady
    B) Sarr + Shaw/Rudiger + Semedo

    A seems more exciting bcz of Torres
    B seems the safer option
