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.

    WC. Been going round and round on this one!

    Taa -—5M—- Coady (Williams Livra)

    A. Christensen
    B. Coufal
    C. Dier
    D. Semedo (Wolves double up!)
    E. Tierney
    F. Someone else?

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

      I'm currently on Christensen with the same defence

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        I was.

        But I’m not 100% on the fixtures and him keeping the starting spot.

        Tierney isn’t a bad shout

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

      It's between C and A for me

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        A seems popular!

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

      B

  2. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    For the next 3 GWs:

    a) Torres
    b) Jota (-4)

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      a

    2. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      A

  3. waldo666

    2 years, 7 months ago

    Right, thought best to put the whole team up for assessment whilst looking at similar transfers as allot.

    Thinking now that if Ronaldo was in the game from the start I would have had him straight in most likely at the expense of Bruno without waiting to see so leaning more and more towards the switch.

    Appreciate any thoughts, cheers.

    2FT and 0.6 ITB

    Sanchez
    Shaw TAA White
    Bruno Salah Greenwood Raphinha
    Antonio Ings Toney

    (Steele Livramento Gilmour Ayling)

    A) Bruno and Ings to Jota/Benrahma/Torres
    B) Ings to someone and roll other FT
    C) Something else

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

      I think ings to DCL is your best bet

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers.

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

      Greenwood not playing 90mins, not for more than one game in next three

  4. dark91
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Is it still worth bringing in DCL or is there a risk he would be rested?

    I have 1 ft and could save it and just start Ings/Tsimikas

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

    Best combo?

    A. Sa, Duffy, Christensen
    B. Sanchez, Williams, R.James

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

    Thoughts on this WC draft?

    Sánchez (Raya)
    TAA Tierney Semedo (Livra Williams)
    Salah Torres Traoré Sarr (Allan)
    Ronaldo Auba Antonio

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Nice one and good punt for Auba

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Don't like Semedo or Traore.

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

    WC last decision:

    A- Tierney + Sanchez/Bachmann
    B- White + Sa’

    Current backline:
    Steer
    Shaw TAA Williams Livramento

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

      A

    2. Sid07
      • 9 Years

      A

    3. cravencottage

      B

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      EXACTLY THE SAME decision i have, i've optd for A with Tierney

  8. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    scout picks are up but no article?

    1. Alchemist023
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      yeah i want to see the article also. who is there captain and vice

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

        Captain will be Lukaku. Vice will be Salah or Bruno.

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Yes

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

    G2g?

    Raya
    Cancelo Shaw Varane
    Salah(C) Mane Jota Benrahma Gray
    DCL Antonio

    Sanchez Cucho Livramento Taylor

    1. pocalolo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good except doubling up on Man Utd defense with their upcoming fixtures seems risky. I'd probably replace one of Shaw or Varane with Chelsea D (Rudiger or Christensen) or Spurs D (Dier or Reguilon).

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

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

    1. Iceball

    Antonio DCL Ings

    Foster Amartey Tsimikas Gilmour

    Bruno and Ings to Jota and Ronaldo -4? (Can get any other mid up to 7.7m)

    Yes / no?

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

      Yes before the price rise

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

      Long term, looks good. Don't expect it to pay off this week tho.

  12. John78
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    What is the consensus here? Captain Ronaldo or Salah?

    1. AlphaTeam
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Salah

  13. pocalolo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    sorry for repost...

    Schmeichel
    TAA Shaw Digne
    Salah Greenwood Benrahma Barnes Son*
    Wilson* Antonio

    (Ward Veltman Tsimikas Obafemi)

    A) Wilson > DCL
    B) Wilson > Bamford
    C) Wilson & Son > Lukaku & Torres (-4)

  14. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Alright - all done, no more thinking/worrying

    1 move was Ings > Jimenez

    Sanchez (4.0)
    TAA, Shaw, Duffy (Ayling, Livramento)
    Salah, Bruno, Greenwood, Jota, Benrahma
    Antonio, Jimenez (Perica)

    1ft, 1.0 itb

    Good luck all!

  15. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    my mid. & Fwd. Salah green benrahma ronaldo antonio toney (next gw benrahma toney will be dcl raphinha)

    get jota 4.5 mid. or tarore & sarr

  16. foreverton
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Do I play Raphinha vs Liverpool (H) or Coady vs Watford (A)?

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

      Come on ...

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

    A) Greenwood
    B) Mount
    C) Torres

    Just realised I can’t get Jota due to 3 Lpool players already!

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A

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

      A and C equally risky, I'd go with C
      B is safe but no big returns

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

    Final touches needed on WC

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA. XXX Coady Livr Williams
    Salah Jota Allan XXX Benrahma
    DCL Antonio Ronaldo

    Currently on Torres + Christensen with 0.4 in bank for upgrading Ben--> Raphinha later.
    Or maybe should I go for Sarr instead and put more money in defence ?
    Any advice would be appreciated

    1. pocalolo
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I like it for short term, but for long term, Mount over Torres might be the safer bet.

  19. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I wonder how many hits have been taken this week. Honestly part of the reason I played my WC. Chance to get ahead of most players I want in GW7 anyway, whilst minimizing hits compared to others.

  20. Kevin Twine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Would you wildcard this team? Got 1FT and nothing in the bank

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Veltman, Liv
    Salah, Fernandes, Son, Raph
    Ings, Antonio

    (Steele, Brownhill, Ayling, Onafemi)

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

      If Raphina is banned ,
      And if Son is probably injured .
      Ings is the most obvious transfer out choice otherwise.

      All depends on u otherwise if u want to hold or go for the template wc team or u could just transfer son(if injured)/ or Ings
      Hold on Raphinha as it's only 1 game at most that too vs lpool

  21. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Coufal
    Salah(V) Torres Benrahma Raphinha
    Ronaldo(C) Antonio Ings
    Steele Tsimikas Ayling Brownhill
    0.2 itb. GTG or take the hit now to get rid of Ings?

  22. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Best 1 week midfield punt for 6.9m or below?

    Annoying that ESR isn’t available, planned to go for him initially

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

      Elyounoussi. Dare ya

  23. Utopsis
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Son and Wilson injuries have wrecked my plans.

    Have exact cash to swap out for Lukaku + Sarr (-4) - any reasons why not? Any better options? (I'm holding fire on Ronaldo for now).

  24. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    I think many people are misinterpreting the DCL quote from the press conference.

    Benitez was asked how impressed he had been with DCL to which he replied he has been good but expects more in the future because he had been training in pain and wasnt fully fit. It was essentially a quote about the past not the present.

    Also in a seperate question Rafa was asked about injuries to which he replied they had 3 or 4 and then proceeded to name the players, DCL of course was not on that list.

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards

      Thanks for this

  25. boroie
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    2 FTs… best choice?

    A: Ings -> DCL
    B: Ings & Fernandes -> Ronaldo & Greenwood

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

      B

  26. OptimusBlack
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    For this GW only and then get Raphina Back who to get ?
    A- Fornals
    B- Benrahma
    C- Gallagher
    D- Dele

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Already have Sarr & Traoré

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

      G-Raphinha

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 11 Years

        If he play I would keep

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 7 months ago

  27. steven8991
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Is it worth -4 ?
    A. Tsimi, Bruno, Ings > Christensen, Jota, Ronaldo(C)

    or just
    B. Ings > DCL
    C. Bruno & Ings > Torres & DCL

  28. boroie
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Captain:

    A - Ronaldo
    B - Salah
    C - Greenwood

  29. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Chances Raph gets anything vs Pool?

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

      Liverpool haven't been especially solid at the back, VVD and Alisson have had to bail them out a few times

      it's possible

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        hopefully then I guess, thanks

    2. AlphaTeam
