Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 7 preview and latest team plans

Friday night finds Mark Sutherns back alongside Andy for another members-only chat to ease us into Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 7. You can find this latest video over on our YouTube channel.

The video is an exclusive for Premium Members – and there’ll be plenty more to come in 2021/22.

Mark is recording – just for subscribers – every week throughout the upcoming campaign, so sign up via this link in order to see them.

This week’s episode begins with Mark stepping aside to allow Andy to enjoy the glory of a huge green arrow from Gameweek 6, as a 69-point return put him inside the top 200k.

From then on, the pair embark on their preview of Saturday and Sunday’s fare as they discuss the recent rash of defensive injuries, the lure of the Wildcard and – once again – the appeal of the Chelsea and Manchester City rearguards.

As usual, they also review their own line-ups, with Andy enjoying a purple patch and the luxury of rolling two transfers over the break, while Mark is rather pessimistically bracing himself for another red arrow.

Subscribers can view the embedded video below:

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Settled on this WC:

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo Rudiger Azpi
    Salah Raph Saka Gallagher
    Lukaku Antonio Jimi

    Foster Dias D.Louiz Liv

    1.7itb for Trent

    Thoughts?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      Perfect

    2. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Who will you replace for Trent do you think? One of the city defenders?

      1. Peter O'Hanraha-hanrah…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, Dias if Cancelo keeps starting

        1. Mufc202020
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          If you’re benching Dias anyway is it worth just benching TAA and saving the FT? Just a thought

          1. Peter O'Hanraha-hanrah…
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Have thought about that. I think with the chance he's out for multiple GWs plus a few tricky fixtures for Pool with City's fixtures being so good I am swaying towards Dias.

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      Got Jimi on my freebie. Good luck!

        You too!

    4. Norco
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I like it!

      Will you be benching Gallagher each week? Is ESR worth it to save some extra coin in potential bench spot moving forward?

      1. Peter O'Hanraha-hanrah…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks, yeah other than this week. Have thought about it but don't want the Arsenal triple up. Also not sure who I'd want to bring in with the extra cash. Who'd you have in mind?

        1. Norco
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Maybe Mbeumo that way in a couple weeks they have a nice run too which you could utilise if need be.

    5. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If you're gonna bench Dias then you may as well keep TAA and save a FT down the line

      1. Peter O'Hanraha-hanrah…
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Have thought about that. I think with the chance he's out for multiple GWs plus a few tricky fixtures for Pool with City's fixtures being so good I am swaying towards Dias.

        Would be nice to save the FT in the future though. I am still not 100%

  3. g40steve

    Used my 2FT on Alonso & Saka, but still got problems.

    What would you do?

    Possibly-4 -8?

    Sa
    #Trent, Alonso, Tierney, Semedo
    Salah, Greenwood, Saka, Gray
    Lukaku, Antonio

    4.0, Sissoko, Livramento, #Bamford

    .7

    1. Life_Ban
      • 3 Years

      I wouldn't take a hit

    2. white heart pain
      • 13 Years

      Play sissoko

    3. Peter O'Hanraha-hanrah…

      Leave it as it is

    According to predicted line ups gilmour dropped?

    Need security of starts so keeping Shaw rather than than Chelsea merry go round.

    Don't want Raph as too much uncertainty over next 2 GWs

    Think I will do Toney to Kaku and Bruno to saka

    It's all about nailedness!!!

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gilmore slight doubt

  5. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you start this gw, playing Cancelo as well

    A Dias
    B Brownhill

      A

  6. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is it better to play with 2 defenders rather than take a -4 for Liveramento in order to get 3 defenders out?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think so

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wouldn't take a -4 on a defender unless it's a DGW.

    3. Brehmeren
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would take the hit

  7. Dannyb
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Matip or Reguilon to Christenson? Don't wanna burn a ft.

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Matip

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Both worth it. I'd go reguilon.

  8. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A or B

    A Gallagher and Doucoure (but have to rotate them)
    B Zaha and Brownhill

    Hi all,

    Probs should have pulled trigger on WC this GW rather than limp through to the int. break, but now I'm sitting on this lot, what's my best one-week 'patch' for a -4?

    A: Bamford > Jimmy
    B: Bamford > Wood
    C: Coufal > Semedo
    D: Something else?

    Bachmann/Foster
    Rudiger, Coufal, Liva
    Raph, Salah, Greenwood, Sarr, Gilmour
    Antonio, Ronaldo
    (Bamford, Tsimikas, TAA)

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C or E Trent > Cancelo

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'd ne very tempted to WC. But understandable you want to hold. I guess Bamford to Jimmy for The upside and hope Coufal plays

    3. Life_Ban

      Prob B

    4. _figu

      Trent to Rudiger If you're Set on GW8 wc

  10. Norco
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Quick vote:

    1. Ronaldo White D.Luiz(benched) locked 4-3-3
    2. Vardy Alonso Mbeumo(rotate with Cash when fixtures are good) 4-3-3 or 3-4-3 flexibility.

    GTG not worth a hit to replace TAA?

    Sanchez
    Christensen Marcel Williams
    Salah Raphinha Doucouré Gallagher
    Lukaku Antonio Ronaldo

    Steer Sissoko Liva TAA

    1. how now brown cow

    Rudiger White Coufal*
    Raphinha Salah Benrahma Greenwood

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years

        Gut is B.....so I cover both captain bases... Will do it now....thanks

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years

      Hmm. Not sure.

      I'd say A but I'm captaining lukaku so not very convincing.

  14. vova

    Luiz or Brownhill on a WC?

    1. Avery

    Struggling for players this week.
    1FT, 1.4m orb
    Thinking Ayling > Rudinger
    Anything worth a hit?

    Sanchez, Steele
    TAA, Shaw, Ayling, white, livra
    Salah, Jota, Raph, Benny, Brownhill
    Ronaldo, Antonio, ASM

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years

      Good move, no need for hit.

    2. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I did the same move with a similar team, godspeed

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ayling > Rude is good

  16. cemal
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Townsend or Gray, money no issue

    1. FPL-Albion
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Townsend (on pens)

      1. _figu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        If this is corrwct, then Townsend. He did take The previous one, ye

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gray. Neither on WC, would prefer Doucure. Gallagher?

  17. FPL-Albion
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    TAA and Tsmikas to which 2 Chelsea defenders?
    Thinking Azi and Christensen
    Or is Rudiger or Alonso better?

    1. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rudi Azpi

      1. FPL-Albion
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Can’t afford those two. Has to be Christensen with one of the other 3

        1. _figu
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Ah, sorry. Wouldnt get Alonso personally. SO out of those options Azpi Christensen

  18. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Somehow I ended up having Trincao? Do we think he plays vs Newcastle r ship him for a hit?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Might aswell keep one last week but expect him off the bench

  19. Malinwa
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Need some advice here.

    2FT - What would you do?
    Still have WC

    A. Shaw+TAA > Rudiger+Cancelo
    B. Shaw+Greenwood > Rudiger+Jota
    C. Shaw+Ayling > Rudiger+Livramento?
    D. Other?

    Sanchez
    Semedo-shaw*-TAA*
    Salah-Raph-Greenwood-Benrahma
    Ronaldo-Toney-Antonio

    Steele-gilmour-White-ayling*

    1. EffPeeEll
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Shaw probably plays but wait until nearer deadline.

      I'd go a ballsier Alonso at the expense of TAA but with a view of getting Trent back.

    2. _figu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Trent Ayling to Rudi & Azpi

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

        Double chelsea defence?

  20. Life_Ban
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Why is everyone so polite, no one spilling beans on what Mark's team is likely to be???

    I am guessing James has been ditched

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Mark has jumped from the frying pan into the fire.

    2. EffPeeEll
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Has he followed the other talking heads and persuaded the great unwashed to embrace a premium quadruple consisting of 2 chelski and 2 Citeh backliners?

    3. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He was going James to Rudiger I thought??

    4. Life_Ban
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'm too tired. Will sleep on it then make 1 or 2 FT tomos.

    Evening all. Which one please?

    Sanchez
    Rudigar - White - Marcal
    Salah - Raphinha - Jota - Benrahma
    Ronaldo - Antonio - ASM

    B) Save

      Was slightly tempted to go Raphinha but you babe him alrrady. I'm keeping. Might start vs Watford If Mane IS coming from internationals late. 20-30mins should be good vs tired legs.

  22. damiang2233
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Jimenez or ASM instead of Bamford?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years

      ASM

    2. _figu

      Jimi

  23. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I own Alonso at 5.8, with 0.1itb.
    If he rises 0.1 tonight, and I sell tomorrow, will I have 6.0? Or do I need him to rise 0.2?

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You gain 0.1 for every time a player goes up 0.2 mate so if you got him at 5.8 and he goes up to 6.0 you can sell him for 5.9

    2. EffPeeEll
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      you get 5.9, if he rises

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on what you purchased Alonso at.

  24. Bobby_Baggio
    • 12 Years

    In draft League would you take out Gundo and put in Foden?

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gundo is injured so seems a good plan.

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thinking more long term if losing Gundo is bad shout?

      If you think Jota will start, maybe Cancelo. Otherwise, nope

    3. EffPeeEll

      Flip of a coin really.

      Jota, Greenwood and Torres all on trial this week.

  27. More Cowbell
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    Odd question, but is anyone avoiding captaining Ronaldo because of the early kick-off?

    Ramsdale Foster

      Hs this new top-heavy premium defender template look about it but it could pay off obviously.

      I see Saka. grealish, raphina as potential injury prone players but who knows

      If you're WC in 8 then I wouldn't take a hit, so I prefer A

    Can't decide on whether to do Ronaldo to Lukaku to a hit. Based off the models Lukaku should outscore Ronaldo by a point on average (so 2 given you'll captain him) and it allows me to use a transfer the next week on bringing Cancelo in. Comes down to if I'm going to WC in 8 or not because if I am then the hit isn't worth it, but otherwise I think it is.

    Sanchez/Steele
    Shaw/White/Trent/Rudiger/Livra
    Torres/Salah/Raphina/Benhrama/Brownhill
    Ronaldo/Toney/Antonio
