Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 9 preview and latest team plans

Mark Sutherns is back alongside Andy North for another Premium Members-only chat to kick off Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 9.

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

Mark is recording for our subscribers every Gameweek throughout the upcoming campaign, so sign up via this link in order to see his regular appearances.

This week’s episode focuses on the biggest development of the week in Romelu Lukaku‘s (£11.6m) injury, discussing the best replacements for the Belgian as well as the points potential of Kai Havertz (£8.1m) when neither Lukaku or Timo Werner (£8.6m) are available.

Additionally, the pair talk about the emotional rollercoaster of owning a Chelsea defender, before they both reveal their Gameweek 9 line-ups.

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

    Guys,

    Bench Jimmy or Livra??

    Thanks.

    1. Letsgo!
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Livra

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

      Surely you have to start Jimenez?

    3. weaver93
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Livra

    4. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Livra

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

      Has to be livra

    6. Breaking FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      as in Jimenez?

      1. Breaking FPL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        if so, it must be a joke question

      2. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yep.
        Not a joke question - I really don't want to bench Livra as I fancy a 0-0 or 1-0, but I've literally no-one to bench for...

        1. Breaking FPL
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Could get a cleanie yeah, but Jimenez Vs Leeds is very tasty and has way more potential for points

  2. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    For upcoming GWS who to get ?
    A- Toney
    B- Auba

    1. weaver93
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Big price difference so depends what you do with the cash

  3. RWB_1991
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who to start between Saka & A Armstrong??

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

      Saka

      1. RWB_1991
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Probably Saka if fit. Might get 1 pointer from Armstrong

      1. RWB_1991
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. I’m just worried AA might start and haul

  4. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Greenwood to havertz for free or save.

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

      Go for Kai

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I’d do that for free

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Defo.

    3. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      For a free take the punt to get rid of Greenwood for sure

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

    Think I'm settled on this WC.
    What do you reckon?
    Raya Foster
    TAA Cancelo Chilwell Duffy Livra
    Salah Foden Raph Mbuemo Normann
    Vardy Antonio Toney
    1.7itb to do Vardy to Kane, or Foden to Son (with a spare FT).
    Or would you just go Kane now?

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good to me. I prefer Kane over Vardy but mostly due to previous experience of owning both! But Vardy in better form so can’t argue with going for him

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah leaning that way, plus I really like nacho and daka so would rather go there later.
        Cheers

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

      Looks good, would rather have Son over Foden.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hmm leaning towards Kane over son, so foden has that shot. Thanks though

  6. smix
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Havertz (c) for a hit or play Gallagher instead ?

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

      Havertz (c) please

    2. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      So you plan on doing Gallagher to Havertz for a hit when Gallagher has Newcastle?

      1. smix
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Gallagher has looked good but hasn’t been able to translate that to FPL points. Havertz (c) I am hoping could be a good differential instead

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Gallagher

    4. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Havertz hype in full swing on here I see! I wouldn’t do it for a hit

  7. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Vardy the best replacement for Lukaku? And why?

    1. HappyMonday
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. Consistency

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Vardy Kane or Toney (and upgrade elsewhere). I’m probably going Kane as think fixtures are great and captain option in future gws - can’t see me captaining Vardy

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is Nacho an option? Has looked good.

  8. HappyMonday
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Raya or Sanchez long term

    1. Pep Roulette
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Raya imo

  9. Origi-nal
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Wildcard. Any changes?

    McCarthy
    Cancelo Azpi Matip
    Salah Son Raphinha Gray
    Vardy Jesus Hwang

    Foster Mbeumo Livramento Jansson

  10. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Decisions…

    A. Sarr + Ronaldo -> Havertz + Toney (-4)
    B. Sarr -> Mbeumo

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

      So you would be banking on Havertz and Toney -4 to outscore Ronnie and Sarr.

      Yeah, not sure I would go this route for a hit.

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B

  11. Reggie Nainggolan
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Play one?

    A) Mbeumo (Lei A)
    B) Livramento (Bur H)
    C) White (Villa H)

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  12. Jones Kusi
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What would you do?
    A. Ronaldo > Kane
    B. Ronaldo > Vardy
    C. Greenwood > Havertz
    D. Ronaldo, Greenwood > Kane, Havertz (-4)
    E. Something else

    1 FT 0.8 ITB
    Sanchez Ward
    Rudiger Cancelo Alonso Livra Semedo
    Rapinha Salah Saka Greenwood Bissouma
    Toney Antonio Ronaldo

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C

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

      B

  13. cruzex
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    KDB (C) captaim anyone?

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

      If i had him, i would but unfortunately I cant fit him i right now

  14. Klopp's Kids
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Captain check?

    On Salah (C), De Bruyne (v). I own Mount instead of Havertz but would probably captain him.

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

      Sensible Salah - I’m on Kai

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Salah but tempted by Kane

  15. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    What order would you get rid?
    1. Jota
    2. Greenwood
    3. Saka
    4. Benrhama

    Have all for. Who should I remove this week for -4 :/

    1. Reggie Nainggolan
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      1 2 4 3

    2. Lukakuna
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      4123

      Only concern is if Jota starts this weekend, but don't know how likely that is?

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

    Bench one?

    A) Saka
    B) Dias
    C) TAA

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

      A

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

      A

  17. R_R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Why does Bernardo Silva seem to get no attention?

    His minutes have been good and he's returned more than any other City mid

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

      Suffers like Mount of never really exploding

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

        Are Grealish/Foden really worth 0.9/1.0 more though?

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

    I really enjoyed this video. Great stuff chaps.

  19. Phlajo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Team is:

    Sanchez
    Livra Laporte TAA
    Salah KdB Mbuemo Benrahma
    Vardy Jimmy ASM
    (Foster White Brownhill Omobamidele)

    Would you play Foster over Sanchez? And/or White over Livra?

  20. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone ballsy enough to captain Alonso?

  21. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Just brought in and captained Havertz

    I will

    A) LOVE to see it oh yes i will

    B) have absolutely NOWHERE to hide

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

      Same here, let the emotional roller coaster commence

  22. Ady87
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Got 2 FT and don’t really want to gamble on starting Alonso again. Rudiger a safer bet? Any better options than Jota?

    Schmeichel
    TAA Alonso Liv (Marcal White)
    Salah Greenwood Jota Gray Raphina
    Ronaldo Antonio (£4.5)

    Not sure what to do. I could do Alsono > Rudiger then roll a FT.

  23. cuppatea78
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thinking of selling Ronaldo for Vardy.

    Worth the punt?

    Plus it will help free up some money so I can move from Jota to Son in 2 weeks.

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

      I wouldn't

  24. steven8991
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Maupay to Toney for -4 now or next week for 1FT?

    1. smix
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would do it now. Maupay has City

  25. Óró Sé…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1. Broja or
    2. Hwang

    ?

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2

    2. Lukakus talking
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd say Hwang, more nailed

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

      1 near term
      2 longer term

  26. Lukakus talking
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Got a bit lost on the previous post:

    How's this as a slightly different WC team?

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA - James - White - Livra - Johnson
    Salah - Havertz - Foden - Raph - Brownhill
    Ronaldo - Toney - Wilson

    0.0 itb

    Thanks in advance

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

      Wouldn't have Ronaldo on a WC team
      Get Kane instead

      1. Lukakus talking
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks, was thinking of that for a few weeks down the line, once Spurs' fixtures turn

  27. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A- Foden > Havertz for free
    B- Ronaldo & Sarr > Auba & Havertz
    C- Ronaldo & Foden > Kane & Havertz
    B & C cost -4 pts

  28. smix
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    GTG?
    Ramsdale
    Azpi Rudiger Cancelo
    Salah(c) Gallagher Raphina Mbeumo
    Vardy (vc) Antonio Jimenez
    Foster Livramento Saka Marcal

    Saka to Havertz(c) for -4 or just play Gallagher instead ?

  29. Root
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Vardy triple rise this week?

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

      What if he blanks and subbed off early for Daka? 😮

  30. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Last piece of the WC team:

    1) Raya, Azpi + bench: Livra, Duffy, Davis and 0.9ITB

    2) McCarthy, TAA + bench: Duffy, Manquilo, Davis and 0.0ITB

    3) Raya, TAA + bench: Duffy, 3.9, Davis and 0.0ITB

    Tempted to go 1) as have pretty strong bench, I take advantage of the immediate Chelsea def fixtures while doubling up Azpi + Chilwell, as well as have that 0.9ITB, which will give me flexibility if needed.

    Thoughts?
