Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 12 preview and latest team plans

Andy North and Mark Sutherns are back after the internationals, with the latter breaking a recent hiatus from Blackbox to chat Fantasy Premier League (FPL) once again.

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.

With four new manager appointments, a clamour for Spurs attacking assets and the regular flirtation with an alternative to Mohamed Salah (£13.0m) as captain, there’s plenty for Andy and Mark to chew over.

And of course, they dip into their own teams to chat their current thinking ahead of Saturday’s much anticipated deadline.

Subscribers can view the embedded video below:

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

    Play Coady at home to West Ham or Williams at home to Southampton?

    Thinking Williams because Southampton are more likely to blank than West Ham...thoughts?

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Williams as he’s FB, not much in it

    I've gone similar on a WC this week with the first team, just Wilson/Foden instead of Antonio/ESR

    You not tempted by Ronaldo for this week, then swap to Kane next with a FT?

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

    Bench Vardy or Livramento? Thinking B, always play the attacker? Norwich such a good fixture though.

    1. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No one else you could bench?

  4. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    A. Save FT & play Foster

    B. Raya to Ederson/Lloris

  5. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bench one or Livramento, Foden or Toney.

    In currently on Toney...

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Livramento

    2. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      probably liv and hope for a new manager bounce for the canaries and pukki!!

    3. TLF
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Livra

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

    Final dilemma… play one:

    1. Jimenez (WHU)
    2. Mbeumo (new)
    3. Livramento (nor) [would be 5 at the back]

    Thanks

    4. FCSB

      Still a dilemma haha

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        yes, i just worry Jiminez will be on bench (i have him) and Livra against Norwich is better than Mbeumo

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

          I’m just reluctant to go 5 at the back mate… I know what you’re saying re Jimi though

  7. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    On WC with Foden currently in the team (was already in team so got like 0.2 tied up in him).

    Worth transferring out for Bowen, which allows me to upgrade Edouard to Wilson. Or keep Foden and play Eduoard this week?

    1. Warby84
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No way

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      look for another way to get funds IMO.

  8. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    which one to bench:

    a) Christensen
    b) Raphina

    1. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      a

    2. Il Capitano
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

  9. FallingDuck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Play 2:

    Vardy, Greenwood, Livramento

  10. Forza Papac
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Start Mbuemo or Jimenez?

    1. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      M

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      M for sure.

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

      Similar dilemma been on Jimenez all week but tempted by Mbeumo now

  11. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    would you rather have...

    A - Raphina
    B - James
    C - Gallagher

    put them in order

    1. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      bca

      1. Kloppen Schloppen
        • 7 Years

        Agree

  12. steven8991
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Which 1 to lose for Son
    A. Mount
    B. Foden
    C. Raph

      A

  13. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Wison or Jesus? The amount Jesus has played surprised me

    1. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      jesus if u can afford

      1. The Count of Monte Cristo
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        this

    2. Wolfman180
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm currently on Jesus and did debate Wilson but I'm sticking with him. I think he'll be good differential

      1. Cheeto__Bandito
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        agree, seems obvious when you think city dont even have another striker

        1. Footieboot
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Jesus is playing on the right not striker.

    3. shortbanana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson for me.

    4. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Huge difference in price and depends what you do with it. Jesus is playing right wing but listed as a striker which isn’t ideal but could maybe get away with it at the moment given how poor the other strikers in the game have been.

  14. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Given the risk that Foden might not be fit and Gray coming off the bench:

    A. Gray > Gallagher (even if 1st sub with Liv and Raph starting)

    B. Roll the FT

    1. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      a

    2. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B

  15. The Count of Monte Cristo
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Best of luck to everyone this GW!

    Green arrows - get another green.

    Fellow reds - let's get back at it after the break!

  16. steven8991
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Which pair?

    A. Son & Wilson
    B. ESR/Gallagher & Kane

    1. OleBall
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Probably A But B allows for easy route to Ronaldo for fixture swing

  17. Kloppen Schloppen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Starting 11 and bench look G2G?

    Guita
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger Livra
    Salah Gallagher Mbuemo
    Kane Vardy Antonio

    Benrhama Duffy Allan

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yep GTG

    2. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      good..consider benny over rudi maybe.

  18. OleBall
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Best 4.5max defender?

    1. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      lamptey.
      is livra 4.6 now?

  19. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Ramsdale(Foster)
    TAA, Chilwell, Cancelo, Dias, Livramento
    Salah(c) Gallagher, Foden, (Saka, Normann)
    Vardy, Toney (Jimenez)

    A. Vardy/Toney to Kane/Broja (-4)
    B. Vardy/Saka to Son Wilson (-4)
    C. Vardy/Foden to Jota/Kane (-4)
    D. Saka to Jota

    A lets me go to 3-5-2 moving forward, but a worse team this week (Borja V Norwich could be a good gamble)?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Then swap Saka to Jota in 2 weeks if Firminho is still out if i chose A

    2. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Saka to Jota and see how spurs do with another week under Conte. Not sure if they’re worth a hit just yet

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        i just hate Vardy lol

        1. Kloppen Schloppen
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Haha yeah he’s sucked since I got him in. Can’t deny the fixtures coming up tho. Only issue is Youri being out. Really gonna watch Vardy closely this weekend

          1. Crunchie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Yes Youri being out "(the assister) unless vardy assists nacho, killed it for me, but i am getting rid, so he will start scoring, happens every year 🙂

            1. Crunchie
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Plus Jota against Arsenal who will pay for a low-scoring draw is not the best GW IMO..

  20. shortbanana
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Pick two to start?

    A) Livramento
    B) Raphinha
    C) Benrahma
    D) Veltman

    Have 1FT with 1.9m in bank. Also sitting on wildcard so could use FT as a 1/2 GW punt. Antonio > Wilson, and Benrahma > Cornet/Havertz/Jota spring to mind

    1. acidicleo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      AB

  21. acidicleo
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Repost with narrowed-down options..

    Bench one:

    A) Livra (nor) ------------> cs very likely...potential for attacking return too..
    B) Raphinha (tot) -------> likely to score or assist.. but play vs conte's team.
    C) Toney (new) --------> very good fixture.. but has burnt me a lot already..

    3. Salalalalah

      But Jimenez maybe a 1 pointer sub this game, like last time after international break

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I am benching Jiminez i think

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

        True, but he's had an extra day's training. If he's match fit he will play, he's the focal point for Wolves and has passed eye test since GW4 for me. His returns won't dry up, and I definitely see him getting another double digit return before the fixtures swing.

    Sanchez, Livramento, Coady, 4.5 FWD

    2FT. Mane & Reguilon > Son & Cancelo?

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

      Keep Reguilon

      1. Begbie.
        • 10 Years

        Leaning that way tbh so cheers!

    2. shortbanana
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I wouldn't use a transfer on your defence right now. You have 4 defenders who should score well over next 4 weeks at least.

      1. Begbie.
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I probably do agree with that tbf. It's classic fear of missing out re Cancelo.

        Cheers!

          Exactly same as me mate, I’m reluctant to go 5 at the back…

          I’m hanging onto the hope that Norwich have the new manager bounce and score v Southampton

  25. OleBall

      Just a difficult fixture this GW vs Conte

  27. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC, I know it will have potential benching headaches but I feel I can afford a decent bench as the players I want are cheap enough.

    McCarthy
    TAA Cancelo Chilwell James
    Salah(C) Foden Trossard Zaha
    Jesus Antonio

    Foster, Edouard, ESR, Livramento

    1. Kloppen Schloppen
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Nah not a fan of Zaha and trossard. Zaha NEVER gets bonus and trossard is patchy. I’d probably downgrade Eduard to a 4.5 and see what I could do with the cash for those 2 spots

      1. Wolfman180
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I could downgrade Zaha to Gallagher and upgrade Edouard to Wilson

  28. FPL Doctor
