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.

    On WC, keep Ronaldo one more gw and possibly take hits next gw or set and forget?

    A) Ronaldo ESR Christensen Manquillo
    B) Jimenez Saka Alonso Dias

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      B looks much better.

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks

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

      Jiminiez and Saka? No.

    Anyone else captaining Raphinha? Watford are very poor and can see Leeds destroying them. Llorente and Struijk back will help the whole side. Not confident at all on Ronaldo. Think Everton will frustrate United and it’s a very quick turn around from midweek. Brentford are very solid too and I think West Ham will struggle especially with them playing on Thursday. Maybe I’m just overthinking it…

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Good option but I’d just worry about him not being 100% and picking up a knock and coming off early

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

      Raphina would need to explode which he has not done yet.

      Not one double digit haul.

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

        Fixtures have been tough though

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

          Did he have many double digit hauls last season?

          Not cap material IMO.

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Own him and love him, but no.

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

      No.

    5. Don Van Vliet
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Overthinking things a little, maybe.

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

      I am all over Antonio. He explodes when you least expect it 🙂

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Filth.

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

          Yeah, that did not read very well.

    Next 5 weeks: ASM or Toney?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Toney

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Toney

    3. Don Van Vliet
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Toney

    4. moogmcd
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I've gone with ASM so I hope the other three are wrong!

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

    Price changes

  5. Ragabolly
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Risers: Raphinha (6.6) Alonso (6.0) de Gea (5.1)

    Fallers: Lacazette (8.3) Jota (7.6) Alexander-Arnold (7.5) Pépé (7.1) Bergwijn (5.9) van de Beek (5.7) Cantwell (5.3) Gosling (4.8) Klaesson (4.4) Stephens (4.4) Sessegnon (4.3)

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      De Gea, wut?!

    3. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cheers Raga
      Less than I expected. WCs, although De Gea, interesting.

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

        Welp I ended up taking the hit for nothing 🙁

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yes! Cancelo didn't rise!

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

        Almost certain he would with the amount of TAA sellers.

        1. Amartey Partey
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah, must be all the wildcarders.

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

            I thought generally, even those not WC it would be a common trade, I myself made it.

            1. Amartey Partey
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 5 months ago

              He will probably rise tomorrow.

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

                yes, likely a lot more will do this transfer up until the deadline.

      2. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Glad for this too!

    5. Salan
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      De Gea is a surprise to me.

    6. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      1 up. (Would've also been 2 down if I hadn't just sold Jota/TAA - Already took losses on Shaw and Bamford this week!).

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

      Degea was at 91.1?

      1. Sun Jihai
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yep and Ramsdale 103
        Though not sure who is using FTs to change GK to an unconvincing MUN defence who face EVE, LEI, LIV, TOT, MCI…

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

        Bit inaccurate, isn't it.

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

      Oh Jota. My dog, we gotta sit down and discuss your future with my organization.

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

        Here’s to hoping he surprises us all with a return vs City and wipes those cs

      Hooray, Bachmann has survived until I can hit that WC button right after the deadline!

    Best 4.1 or below nailed defender?

    1. Bruno Commando

      Manquilo

      1. moogmcd
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Agreed

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

        +1.

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

          Plus twos

    2. Lucky Z

      Livramento

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

        He’s 4.2

  7. tinear
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you keep Jota, or ship for free? Thinking of getting Raphina but extra FT might come in handy after IB.

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Sell!

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

    3. Gunneryank

      Just finished watching it. Count me out of LMS then.
      Actually, just noticed I didn’t even sign in yet. 🙂

      1. sminkypinky
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Done. Cheers once again TM!

    Sanchez
    Cancelo Rudiger Coady
    Salah ESR Torres Raphina
    Lukaku C Antonio Jiminez

    Allan Livra TAA Steele

    GTG?

  10. noahzark22
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    TAA, Shaw, Tierney, Tsimikas, Digne

    0.2 ITB.

    Spend -4 to make any changes?

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

      I'd say so

      1. noahzark22
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        But what?!

        Nothing stands out as positive. Digne to Semedo?

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

          I'd defo get rid of Digne.

          Semedo is a good option.

          Tsimikas for livramento

          Or TAA for Cancelo or Rudiger

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

            Tsimikas to Livramento for a hit? What a stupid piece of advice.

        2. sulldaddy
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I dumped Digne a while back and havent regretted. Semedo is a good switch and saves you a little $ too

  11. moogmcd

    On a wc
    Gray or Smith Rowe?

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

      Gray is SM even a certain starter?

    2. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Smith Rowe.

      (But really Saka lol 😀 )

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

      Gray. Arsenal have played well for 45 minutes this season.

  12. 420king
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Got 0 FT and I'm WCing next round.

    This is my defense:

    TAA**, Shaw*, White, Amartey, Livramento

    Should I take a hit to bring in a defender for one round? If yes, which one?

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      TAA to Chelsea DEF is a no brainier if WCing

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah. But it's for a -4. Which one?

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Rudi as you want nailedness

  13. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Do people think Trent will drop to 7.4 i.e. casual sellers seeing him having not played or not, one drop to 7.5 the most?

    1. Freshy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      He would have to be in a cast for me to take him out

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

      Only if he is still a doubt the day before the next deadline.

    3. Zebras
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It took a lot previously for him to finally go up. I think given it’s an international break and a lot of Wc active there may be just enough hasty casuals and wcs getting rid for him to drop

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

        Yes I'm not quite sure either, hence my question.

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

        WCs don’t count… so not likely

    4. Harry the Hack
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      people moving towards double chelsea double city defence are not casual 🙂

  14. Drogba Legend
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 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. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Pretty sexy if I'm honest.

      But Trent and Ronnie may haunt you in the future, like ghosts and ghouls of goals that could have been scored....

      1. Drogba Legend
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers, I definitely could keep/get Ronnie back but would have to drop 1/2 my midfielders and probably 1-2 of my Chelsea/city backs. Not sure its worth it. I plan on just downgrading someone to get TAA back by GW10

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

      Still want more than 45 mins out of any Arsenal asset tbh

      1. Drogba Legend
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Saka and Rams should be good to go

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

    Would you rather:

    1. Vardy
    2. Jimenez+2.9m?

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Jim plus cash easy.

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

      Vardy. But it really depends on the rest of the team.

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

      Jimenez. matchups are good for a bit and that cash will be handy

  16. Muscout
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Wc team thoughts any changes needed?
    Sanchez
    Rudiger Cancelo Duffy
    Salah Raph Benrahma Gallagher
    Lukaku Ronaldo Antonio

    Foster DougLuiz Livra Manquillo 0.1itb

  17. ZTF

    Schmeichel [Ward]
    Livr Tomiyasu Coady [TAA*, James*]
    Raph Salah Pogba Benr [Gilmour]
    Antonio Ronaldo [C] Saint-Maximin

    This look ok for this week?

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      That's uh....different. Interesting.

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

        Is it? Not sure it looks so different with Trent back next week 🙂

    2. Puntillimon

      Gtg

  18. Letsgo!
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Antonio or luk for captain?

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

      Luk imo

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

      Antonio here

  19. MakaveliTheDon
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Toney or Jimenez?
    Which do you think?

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

      b

  20. Corn Eto'o
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Play Shaw or Cancelo?

    HELP!

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Cancelo.

    2. ZTF
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I’d play Shaw. Everton look really poor going forward and surely come to shut up shop.

      Can’t imagine he comes on if not fit personally

    3. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Can you not play both?

      1. Harry the Hack
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I think he'd prefer to field neither, given Cancelo plays Liverpool and United against Ev have been ordinary, but has to play one

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

    One thing about having Salah, Antonio, Ronaldo and Lukaku, it does not matter which one you cap if all 4 of them haul.

    It would be some weekend if that happens.

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

      What does the rest of your team do?

      1. Walter White (WW)
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        They probably just wear face masks

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

          Face mask, ball gag. Much the same

          1. Walter White (WW)
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            😆

  22. Kane Train
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Which one?

    A) TAA & Semedo > Azpi & Duffy allows Sarr > Son next week
    B) TAA > Christensen , Sarr > son next week

  23. ZTF
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Do we reckon Pogba gets dropped tomorrow? Surely the way to go for Ole

    1. Harry the Hack

      Cannot see that at all

    2. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

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

      Nope. Ole doesn’t do tactics, he just puts out the most expensive team.

      1. Harry the Hack
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Geez don't tell me not only is Fred terrible but is expensive too

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

        Ha ha

      3. ZTF

        So true

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

      What?! He's one of their best players. Are you daft? Have you ever played Football Manager?

    It will be an interesting watch this week to see if Bachmann reclaims the no.1 jersey over Foster.
    Does anyone have an opinion on this?

    1. Harry the Hack
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Can't see any reason he wouldn't once fully fit

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

        apart from the goal foster was pretty impressive against Newcastle.

  25. FantasyClub

    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would be hilarious if Alonso got benched with all these transfers in

    1. Harry the Hack
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      It would not.

  26. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Do we think Shaw we start?

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

      Think so yes

    I could do with some advice, plagued by injuries and trying to hold leads in mini-leagues.

    Sanchez

    TAA White Shaw
    Benrahma Salah Gundo Greenwood
    Toney CR7 Antonio

    Steele Tsimikas Brownhill Ayling

    1FT / 0.6 itb

    A - WC to a template
    B - Ayling - Rudiger & risk Shaw (play Brownhill)
    C - Ayling - Rudiger / Shaw - Coady ( -4) (play Brownhill)
    D - Something else

    1. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I'm in a similar situation and with me being at 20k I decided to protect rank and WC. I think you can take a hit for Ayling/Shaw/TAA and be fine actually. Ayling + pick one of these others and call it good.

      1. storr84
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I'm at 100K, but before last week, I was a lot higher, so feel (although not quite) your pain, so I'm tempted with WC, too.

        I think I might go Ayling - Rudiger / Shaw - Marcal and play Brownhill.

        Probably going to WC next week, pray for me.

    My weekend ritual:

    Sleep early. Get up around 4 or 5 in the morning (for us yanks to enjoy the football), plus all the pre-match pagentry: the deadline streams and inherent excitement therein. Andy's subscribers yelling at him because they can't think for themselves. The pages of posts flying on here that no one has time to answer.

    Making coffee in the pre-sun twilight as Peter Drury is waxing philosophic about the West Ham line-up.

    I'll never get tired of it. Football, bloody hell.

      good stuff Gunner, enjoy your weekend 🙂

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years

        Cheers, same to you good sir.

    2. Drogba Legend
      • 6 Years

      I'm also in the US. So difficult to get up for the early game and get ahead of deadline leaks, etc. That's why I've just been sticking to safe players the past few seasons.

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        The early game is a pain in the buttocks for sure! Even more so if my captain is playing in that game. Brits are eating lunch and I'm trying to crawl out of bed and open my laptop to see if Ronaldo blanked or not. Ridiculous lol!

    Just did a -4 from 067 to 001 Captain 456 or 001 this week??

    1. Liberate HK - antichinazi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      001. Experienced player and is the boss

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

        Scard he will be subbed off, mins are a major concern

        1. Harry the Hack
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          take another -4 and bring in 101. You need him captain, he hauls every game

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

      Please give me the lotto numbers.

    3. Harry the Hack
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      001 is too old, shouldn't even be on the field, surely won't do much

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

        Right, but 456 plays too deep. Less attacking threat

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

      I fear you are a robot and as such am very frightened.
