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.

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Chilwell
    Salah Son Foden Raphinha
    Jimenez Antonio

    Foster Mbeumo Livramento Davis

    Is this lineup good to go please?

    I’m unsure whether to start Jimenez or Mbeumo, just in the basis of Lages comments and a chance he Jimenez could be rested / benched. Livramento could sting me on the bench, but hopefully Norwich get a new manager bounce and at least score.

    Thoughts appreciated?!

    Thanks

      gtg or start a benchie. West Ham quite decent in defence.

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

        Thanks mate, and a risk Jim is possibly benched

        I think I’m leaning towards Mbeumo now

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

      I’d probably start Mbeumo over Jimi

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

        I think I’m leaning that way now, thank you mate

  2. Bruno Commando

    Rudiger or Raphinha first sub?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo James Livra
    (S)alah Foden Mbeumo
    Kane Antonio Toney

    Foster Rudiger Raphinha Brownhill

    1. Goodfeathers
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Raph. I’d go with Raph to start though and Livra first sub

    Thinking of doing Azpi to James, but not sure who to bench and play.

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Cancelo, Chilly, Azpi (James)
    Salah, Foden, Raph, Mbeumo,
    Vardy, Armstrong

    Foster, Livra, Antonio, Brownhill

    Ronaldo or Salah for (c)?

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

      Salah

    2. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Why do you own Ronaldo if you can’t captain against Watford? And don’t captain Mo against the Arsenal 😉

    Please guys help me decide
    A) Vardy and Havertz>Kane and B Silva
    B) Havertz and Toney>Son and 4.4 (switch to 442)

    Bit scared of getting rid of Vardy when he has Watford next week

    1. mash
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think Tielemans being out is a big impact to Leicester's attack in general, which makes me feel less fearful of selling Vardy, despite the Watford fixture. I'd pick A out of those two options.

    Salah, Raphinha, Smith Rowe, Mbeumo, Gilmour

    1. Yank Revolution

      Just improve Saint Max Id say - or address keeper situation.

    1. WVA

      Could take this opportunity to sell Benrahma or Gray for Gallagher

      1. Cali
        • 3 Years

        Good point. 0.1 short to make that happen with Gray. Thoughts on dropping Saka instead?

        1. Make United Great Again

    • 7 Years

    2FT

    Vardy & Havertz to…

    A) Kane & Gallagher

    B) Wilson & Son

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

      I did B but already have Gallagher. Surely Son is better value than Kane?

      1. Ghost86
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Struggling to pick one. Kane on pens,

        Only other option is keep vardy and go Havertz to Jota and decide next week about the spurs assets

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Why you sell both Vardy & Havertz

      1. Ghost86
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Vardy never does anything for me, feel like it’s time to move on

    3. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I did A

  22. WVA
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Everyone on here voted that I captain Ronaldo over Salah but I just can't do it, look at Salah's points v the top teams!

    Who to captain?

    A. Salah
    B. Ronaldo

    1. Gabbiadini
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I have the same choice :/
      On Salah atm. And yes, not sure I can do Ronaldo. But still not decided.

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

        I've come round to thinking just owning Ronaldo is enough at the moment?

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

          Same

        2. Gabbiadini
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          the other way to look at it is what will make you more annoyed,
          if salah hauls and ronaldo doesn't or if ronaldo hauls and salah doesn't?

          1. Gabbiadini
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            i.e. what scenario when you captain the one that blanks.

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

      Salah all the way!

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

      Salah if leading, Ronaldo if chasing

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

      Have the same situation
      Was on Ronaldo in my bus team, but will probably switch to Salah
      CR7 not particularly owned (17.7% in the top 100k) and looking at transfer trends that's unlikely to change much this week, so owning is probably enough
      Although I like the opponent, not keen on Ronaldo only having 1 xG and 1 big chance in the last 6 PL matches

    5. Alli's Dele
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      A

  23. smix

    Havertz & Foden to Son(c) & Gallagher fof a hit ? Is Foden unlikely to start today ?

  24. The White Pele

    is Jimenez to Wilson worth a -4?

    1. OleBall
      • 3 Years

      Naa you seen their 2 games after this

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I agree with this, I don't love Wilson's fixtures and I wouldn't trade Jimenez until gw15.

  25. Eightball

    Bench 2:

    My current thinking is A + B

  26. FPL Alaska
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Which option? Squad below. 2FT, 1.2 ITB

    A) Vardy + Hwang > Kane + 4.4
    B) Vardy + Brownhill > Son + 4.4
    C) Foden + Hwang > Son + 4.4

      Foden + Vardy to Kane + Jota?

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

        Oh man, thats not a bad idea at all. Was thinking I would get Jota last week, but that was before potential Foden injury.

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

    Will not be surprised if Vardy gets double digits tomorrow. Most sold player and price drop. Lots of double Chelsea defence teams out there. It's the Vardy way!

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It would be surprising considering the way Leicester are playing to be honest. They have been pretty shocking since Rodgers started getting linked. But vardy does perform against big teams so who knows

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Leicester's record against the "big" teams is also fairly strong.
        I've held Vardy.

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

        Mainly in my experience of him as an FPL troll more than how Leicester are actually playing!

        Last season bandwagoned in in GW2 for a 2 pointer vs. Burnley, mass sold for a 17 pointer vs. Man City before being bandwagoned back in for a 2 and 0 pointer for West Ham and Villa. The injury meant he was mass sold again only for him to return the next two GWs with 7 and 14 points!

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

      I'm happy to be shot of him either way. Blanked every game i've had him this season and blanked for the 10 games i had him last season, lesson learnt

  28. Alli's Dele
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    A: vardy + mount -> kane + gallagher (-4)
    B: Sanchez-> guaita (play foster otherwise)
    C: hold

    Thanks all!

  29. boroie
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Right... I've finally decided to go against all the advice I've received on here and transfer in DDG for Mendy as makeweight to get Son in...

    Everything says DDG is a bad option... but my gut is telling me to go for it... or maybe it's the fact that in United's next 10 games they play 9 teams (out of 13 in total) who have scored 15 or less goals this season.

    1. JoeJitzu +42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Fair play,good analysis and the way the game (IMO) should be played. The very best of luck to you.
