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.

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

      2 years, 5 months ago

      I try and not captain players in 12:30 game

      So Antonio

      Now watch Ronny score a hattie

    5. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      CR7 being the community's third-choice captain with a decent though not outstanding home fixture, averaging more than 1 xG per match so far, is a bit hard to believe.

      Feel like my GW will either be great or terrible.

  2. iL PiStOlErO

    Sanchez Steele
    TAA* Shaw* Coufal White Livra
    Salah Jota Mahrez Raph Bisso*
    CR7 Antonio Scarlett

    2ft, 0itb

    Keeping Trent for now cause maybe I will wc next week but not 100% sure.

    Would you do Shaw+Coufal+Mahrez to Rudiger+Semedo+Saka for -4?
    P.s. It also leaves me 2.2 itb to deal with Scarlett next gw

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe not Semedo, how about Tierney? Or double Chelsea and Wc next week
      Sarr instead of Saka for a one week punt? I think next week WC is best

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Agree about wc. Also interesting options, cheers.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years

          Just makes so much sense to WC next week if you have it.

  3. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Which set of transfers look the best here? So sorry for long post haha doing my head in

    A) GW7: Jota + Bamford --> Lukaku(c) + Brownhill -4
    GW8: Shaw --> Christensen
    GW9: Omo + Ronaldo --> Cancelo + Toney -4
    B) GW7: Jota + Shaw --> Mbeumo + Rudiger -4
    GW8: Bamford + Traore --> Lukaku + D. Luiz -4
    GW9: Ronaldo --> Toney

  4. Paddy Gooner
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What are chances of Shaw playing?

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Pretty good I would say

  5. R.C
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    is Cancelo going to rise in price or some of the transfers are WCs?

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      You have the same information as us.

        Ugh xD

    2. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He’s might close , check on fpl price changes . Most likely he goes up tonight

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

    Currently on this:

    Sanchez Steele
    Alonso TAA Rudiger Semedo Livramento
    Salah Grealish Raphinha Gallagher Gilmour
    Lukaku Jiminez Antonio

    Worried about Alonso long term and not enough itb to change to Cancelo, Dias or Azpi

    Hold this week but then what? Will only have 1FT

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Can downgrade Semedo to White and upgrade Alonso if needed

  7. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Who to put the armband on lads?

    a. CR7
    b Antonio
    c. Salah.

    Thoughts on:

    Antonio & Smith-Rowe in for Jota & Pukki for -4?

    Will have 0.4 itb left after that. So instead of smith-Rowe I can bring in any 6.0m midfielder…

  10. chaser123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Any way to save £0.1m?

    Ramsdale Foster
    Cancelo Dias Alonso Rudiger Livramento
    Salah Raphinha Saka Benrahma Brownhill
    Lukaku Antonio Jimenez

    1. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      BRownhill to Delph . You already have 2 playing reserves

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        They are both 4.4 unfortunately

    2. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ok I got you . Ramsdale + dias 10.6 -> ederson + white 10.4

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Hmm tempting!

        1. nadman89
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          All then upgrade brownhill to Douglas luiz ( rising tonight ) or bissouma

  12. George James

    Best move here? 1FT 0.2ITB

    A) James >> Rudiger / Christensen

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Not an ideal line up but keeping WC till after IB, what would you do?

    Rudiger Shaw* Digne Ayling* Tsimikas

    A. Play Rudiger Shaw Digne no hit
    B. Play Rudiger Shaw, take hit for Ayling > Alonso/Cresswell, bench Digne

    1. Prison Mike
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

    2. TheTinman

  15. Prison Mike
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who to start?

    A) Digne (mun)

    B) Williams (bur)

    C) Livramento (che)

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Williams

    2. OleBall
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Clean sheet odds/chance: A) 17% B) 22% C) 14%

    3. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Livra

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Digne

    5. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Like how everyone went with different answers.. to clarify on why Digne. See the CS odds. Norwich have a slightly better chance of CS but I think Digne makes up for that in attacking threat.

  16. TheTinman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Triple Brighton defence. Screw you, screw me, screw injuries

  17. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Rudiger (SOU) or Tarkowski (NOR) on a 1 week punt only

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tark

    2. OleBall
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rudi because goes up tonight and might want him

    3. Spoox777
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Rudiger

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Rudiger chance of CS is higher ... BUR def and at home pants

  18. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    If you want to get a midfielder for just this GW as punty move who to get ?

    1. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on budget?

      1. OptimusBlack
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        9 M

        1. Ray85
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          The better options are in the 6-7m category. I would take a punt on Saka, with Xhaka out it seems like Arteta will go even more attacking and bring in Lokonga. Or Benny but likely you already have him.

          1. OptimusBlack
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            Yes I have Benny Saka would think about him

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Zaha Fornals Havertz Westwood

  19. LABILLETHEGOAT
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    guys my defense is marcal, shaw, white (TAA, tsimikas). 1FT, would you do:
    a. trent > rudiger
    b. shaw > rudiger
    c. save

    1. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

      1. Ray85
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Actually B

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would do Marcal to Rudiger if you can afford it. Otherwise B

  20. Ray85
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this please?

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    Alonso Rudi Cancelo (Livra) (Manq)
    Saka Salah Raphina Gallagher (Luiz)
    Vardy Lukaku Antonio 0.4ITB

    Undecided on Gray v Gallagher and Vardy v Jimmy.

    1. nadman89
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Jimmy > vardy . Saves a lot of money , better sched , no Europe . Get rid of gray + gallagher then and get grealish

      1. Ray85
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Planning to do Vardy to Jimmy in a few games and bring back TAA & maybe Grealish. Want to give Jimmy a couple of games to see if his form is really back.

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

        Gray and Galagher are returning. Grealish is blanking. Blanked 4 on the trot.

        Really bad advice.

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

          Sorry 3 on the trot. 4 in total.

        2. Ray85
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah I'm not sold on Grealish yet and is a rotational risk too. But long-term he is in my thoughts.

          Vardy just always seems to score and up there for points.

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

            I am getting in Vardy for GW8. He is the most consitent premium forward.

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

      I'd go Jimmy. Newcastle at home and gives you an option to get TAA back if you wish too.

      I think Gallagher will be more consistant

  21. nadman89

    Everyone is gonna cry when Adam Armstrong scores a brace tomorrow

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years

      I won't be crying. Nobody relevant has him

      2. nadman89
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah but everyone has the double Chelsea defense , that’s the point

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          If I only have one, I'll want them to lose the CS then?

    -4 for this,

    Antonio C Y or N?

    Sa
    Rudiger, Alonso, Tierney, Semedo
    Salah, Greenwood, Saka, Gray
    Lukaku, Antonio

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Personally this week against Brentford i see one goal for Antonio

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

        No real Stand out Lukaku has the easier game but Sou are setup well & hardly any supply for Kaku

        1. nadman89
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Is Southampton really an easier game ? They conceded 1 goal from united and city. I feel brentfords defense is a bit leakier vs good teams

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

            Southampton kept West Ham to 0-0 too

  23. Maeki2
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Sanchez
    or
    Ramsdale

    and why?

    1. Ray85
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Ramsdale. Better fixtures, looks set as number 1 and Arsenal's back 4 is looking more solid these days.

      1. F_Ivanovic
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Why is anyone basing their GK decision on fixtures? You shouldn't ever want to make a GK change until your next WC (outside another Martinez appearing) which won't be until at least week 25 or so at the earliest depending on where the DGW's fall

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

      Ramsdale, Brighton fixtures changes, and doesn't make many saves

      1. Maeki2
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Sanches NOR(A), NEW (H), LEE (H), AVL(A), ARS (H), MCI (H), LIV (A)
        Ramsdale CRY(H), WAT (H), NEW (H), AVL(H), BHA (A), LEI(A), LIV (A)

        This is up to gw 13 in rank order

        Are you guys baised or does Ramsdale really have that much better fixture?

        1. Ray85
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Well I'm a Gooner so probably biased but the back 4 is looking solid. And Ramsdale will rise quickly if he stays number 1. He could keep 5 clean sheets from those fixtures. But there is a risk of Leno coming back.

      Comparison tool ... or just guts

      Honestly flip a coin
      I looked before and Mee edges it on stats but it’s very close

    Thoughts on the following to play next week:
    A. Livramento
    B. B. Williams
    C. Williams -> Chelsea defender for a -4

      Cancelo - always play the attacker
