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.

    New on here. Does anyone think Chilwell will start over Alonso this weekend?
    I think he might play with the internationals next up and him not in the England squad.
    A bit of gametime before the break

    1. Scholes Out For Summer

      your info is as good as ours honestly. 50/50

      1. Onceatim
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Just a gut feeling after the presser today

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Welcome. I think Alonso will play. In coming to this view I consulted my gut and I heard it growl loonnssooo. Good enough for me.

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Likely I think

    4. McGurn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Alonso clearly his favourite , and on this basis is a bargain. However Chilwell is too good a player to never feature so there will be rotation at some point, its all about guessing when.

    Rudiger or Alonso?? Reasons?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      rudiger more nailed

    2. Onceatim
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I am going Rudiger for the very reason I posted.
      More nailed on I think

    3. bombonera
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yep Rudiger for his security of starts - bringing him in myself

  3. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Captain?

    1. Cr7
    2. Antonio

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      antonio for me

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2

    3. sulldaddy
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Antonio

  4. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    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

    1. Onceatim
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’d go for A mate

      Get Lukaku in this week. Especially if you are fancying him for captain.

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

    I have TAA, Shaw and Coufal - which one is best to remove to bring in Rudiger for a hit? Long term move
    Leaning towards Shaw but Coufal isn't doing much good either

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      depends if you have WC or not

      1. bombonera
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Have WC but not planning on using for a while

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw and coufal both need to go, remove Shaw first as he costs more

    3. Onceatim
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw for me. Shaw is defo out

      1. bombonera
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Shaw might start tomorrow, he's with the squad. Tricky one though as he might face some competition from Telles in the near future

        1. Onceatim
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Any doubt and you should do it. Rudiger should do well the next 3 or 4

    4. sulldaddy
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Shaw should go

  6. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jota+Coufal > Raph+Cancelo -4?

    Not planning to wildcard until around gw13, and got Raph cover if doesn’t play gw8.

    Or any better ideas?

    Current team is:

    Sanchez
    Alonso Coufal* Marcal
    Salah Jota* Benrahma Gray Brownhill
    (C)R7 Antonio

    4.5 Liv TAA Bamford

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      that looks good tbh

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tis a wizard! Nice moves.

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Does thou serve thine lordship?

  7. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Nope, couldn’t hold off any hits guys in the end, daring to do the following moves got the better of me haha!

    Foster
    Rudiger - Tierney - Alonso
    Benrahma - Sarr - Salah - Raphinha - Allan
    Lukaku - Ronaldo
    _____________________________________
    Sanchez: Williams: Livramento: Scarlett

    Did TAA + Jota >> Raphinha + Rudiger for -8

    Feel a tad guilty but hope it works out, GTG?

    Cheers gents, and for the help I’ve received this GW

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gw8 raph plan?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not yet bud, but just gonna see where the next transfer takes me, or could jsit play Livramento against Leeds in his place? Seems wiser I guess?

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      3 mil in the bank also for future moves, so could easily afford TAA back or bring Cancelo/Dias in for example

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You reckon Alonso starts?

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I do yes, brought him in with the free

          1. FPL Brains
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I'm considering bringing him in on a -4 hit. Bit worried about Chilwell though.

  8. Muscout
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Should I change anything on this WC?
    Sanchez
    Alonso Cancelo Duffy
    Salah Raph Benrahma Gallagher
    Lukaku Ronaldo Antonio

    Foster DougLuiz Livra 4.0Def

    1. Norco
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Worried about having to play two off Duffy/Livra/Gallagher each week?

    2. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good for a 3 premium team. The mid price players you can go for whoever so up to you there. Good structure though for a 3 premium team

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Alonso to Christensen and upgrade the 4.0 DEF

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

    Last decision: Bench: Jota or White

    Jota has higher ceiling potential, but I think White is more likely to get a clean sheet.

    Current lineup:
    Sanchez
    Rudiger - Alonso - White - Marcal
    Salah - Starr - Benrahma
    Ronaldo - Antonio - Toney

    Bench: Steele - Jota - Brownhill - TAA

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota as white is more nailed this GW, right?

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

        White is more nailed but can be undone with a goal from BHA (even though BHA haven’t been particularly prolific in front of goal)

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bench White, Brighton will score

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Eh, don't know about that.

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

          BHA haven’t been so prolific in front of goal, but they have scored at least one goal in all but one game.

    3. McGurn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      jota too expensive to bench in my opinion

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

        I generally agree if I were considering selecting a team in a WC. But all I am trying to do is maximize this GW’s points.

        1. McGurn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          True, for one week maybe bench given the opponents. I have sold Jota this week to avoid the issue!

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

            Ha! That is nice! Good luck this GW

  10. Drogba Legend
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I had too many injuries and doubts so activated my WC. 20k OR. Thoughts:

    Ramsdale
    Rudiger - Azpi - Cancelo
    Salah - Grealish - Raph - Saka
    Lukaku (C) - Toney - Antonio

    Foster - Dias - Livra - Brownhill

    G2G? Changes to WC??

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Do I need Ronaldo - if so I have to drop double City/Chelsea defense + Grealish.

    2. Onceatim
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      G2G too many changes to get Ronaldo in there.
      Have faith in 2 Tonys

    3. Jackie Moon
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Almost identical to my WC! So I like it!

      I just went Alonso over Azpi for a risk with obvious upside, and have kept Benrahma instead of Grealish for now, but have money left to upgrade someone or even get TAA back.

      I am tempted by Gallagher as well, but not sure where to fit him in.

  11. LLoris
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best 2 Chelsea defenders?
    Rudiger and ........

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi for security, Alonso for fun, Christensen if you need money

    2. Norco
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Azpi

  12. pakornk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you do Gray to Raphinha?

    1. bombonera
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      For free yes, for hit no

    2. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I did for a hit

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

  13. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How is this move looking:

    Jota & Pukki out for
    ESR & Antonio (-4).

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Almost worth it. Dunno. Arse have a stout defense to break down. Might wait a week.

    2. bombonera
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah go for it

    3. McGurn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      ESR and Antonio are season keepers so good moves. Just need to consider the timing.

  14. smash
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Think Chris Wood is worth -4 if it allows me to field 11 (will be replacing Scarlet) Man city next but fixtures after look ok'ish

    Cheers

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He could do well v Canaries.

      1. smash
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes I'm thinking it's a punt maybe worth going with, decent placeholder for Tony too

        Cheers

    Remember when we used to say... just stick in two 4.0 defenders, you never need to dig that deep down your brench anyway.

    They were great days weren't they.

    1. McGurn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      still true for me with two 4.0 and one 4.5. Should i be worried, ha.

  16. ball c
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who is the best 6m or below midfielder for next few gameweeks.
    I already have Gallagher & Sissoko

    1. bombonera
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Smith Rowe definitely in with a shout

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      That's enough.

    3. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years

      ESR Gray

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      ESR + Mbeumo

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

      Everton...
      ESR

    6. McGurn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Its taken a while but ESR looking the real deal now in my opinion.

    2. Hits from the Bong

      Rudiger

    3. Nomar

      Alonso

    4. FOO FIGHTER

      A) James
      B) Rudiger

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just go Rudiger though. The rest are a rotation hell hole. Would be great if James was nailed though.

  19. Norco
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is a Saka and ESR double up too scary?

    1. bombonera
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If relying on them both in your starting 11 most weeks, yes. Otherwise could work out

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Well Halloween is just around the corner!

    3. Dušan Citizen
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes, as I see their fixtures to be very tricky. People only judge by the name of the opponent, but those are very organized teams and I can see old Arsenal back again (bad Arsenal). They played against 3 teams with the worst form in last 3 and people are blinded by that.

    4. McGurn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      With those fixtures that combo is exciting and one i am trying to get to. No denying it is a risk though

  20. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on my wc team?

    Raya Gunn
    Cancelo Dias Rudiger Coady Livramento
    Salah Mount Raphinha Sarr Luiz
    Lukaku Antonio Jimenez

    1.1 itb

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Like it but I'd be downgrading Coady to Duffy perhaps and using those extra funds to upgrade mids. This would be a great wc if you could sneak Son in. Frontline is perfect.

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, I just don't rate Spurs with Nuno, don't think he is worth that price.

        Tbh, it was pretty hard to find mids I like, that's why I got Mount to have some balance. Otherwise, I would go with Ronaldo instead of Jimi and 3 4.5 mids, but I think there are a few cheap strikers who could match him over next 5 gws.

    2. Onceatim
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Bold

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks 🙂 Do you think that because I went without Ronaldo and TAA?

        1. Onceatim
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah and also because of Mount. Maybe go Raphinia as he has better form.

          1. Onceatim
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Just saw him already there

            1. Onceatim
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Saka would be a better shout than Mount

    3. Hits from the Bong
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure about Mount or Sarr after this week, Ramsdale over Raya?

      1. Dušan Citizen
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Will probably sell Sarr for a Soton mid after this gw.

        I still don't trust Arsenal, but Ramsdale is still a solid pick. Anyhow, Raya is my favourite keeper and I wanted to fix my mistake to not start the season with him. 🙂

  21. Lignja
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How is my team looking, done 2 free transfers.

    Sanchez
    Rudiger, White, Coady
    Salah, Grealish, Raphina, Benrahma, Sarr
    Ronaldo, Antonio

    Taa, Amartey, Scarlett

    1. The Knights Template

    Anyone fancy Havertz this GW?

    1. The Knights Template

      Pundit of Punts was thinking about it.

    Pull the trigger on this?
    TAA+Bissouma-> Rudiger+Raphinha (-4) ?

    It is a long term move and should pay back the hit in max 2 weeks I believe

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes
