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.

      What they said

  10. andre_c
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    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
    2FT, $0.1ITB

    Should I play Antonio and Livra and if so for who?
    Thanks

  11. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Correct bench and right order? Also, is it too risky to captain Ronaldo over Salah?

    Steele
    TAA Cancelo Reguilon Rudiger
    Salah Son Gallagher Mbeumo
    Ronaldo Antonio

    Sanchez Livra Gilmour Gelhardt

    Thanks!

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

      Yep, cant bench any of those starting XI

      Its risky if you look at EO. Potentially, I dont think its risky.

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        What he said

  12. AbsolutelyNoIdea
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Sa to Guaita
    Coady to Regulion for -4

    or hold

  13. Pranked
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Pick 1 to start:
    Livra, raphinha, mount

    1. NABIL - FPL otai

      R

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

    Which one?
    A. Foden to Bernardo
    B. Foden to Cornet
    C. Foden to Gallagher
    D. Save FT

    Current squad
    Steele
    TAA, Dias, James, Omobamidele
    Salah, Foden, Raphinha, Benrahma
    Ronaldo, Antonio

    Sanchez, Gray, Manquillo, Scarlett

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

    A) ESR, Trossard, Zaha, Edourad
    Or
    B) Son, Gallagher, Norman, Davis

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

      A if all are going to play in starting XI

      B if only first 2

  16. Sz21
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Would really appreciate some direction here.
    1. Bach + Gray -> McCarthy + Gallagher. Safe + the percentage play.
    2. Sanchez + Jimenez-> Guaita + Wilson. Possible WC next GW.
    3. Sanchez + Vardy -> Steele + Kane. 100% WC next week to sort out some issues in my team and jump on players that I feel I need.

    Sanchez.
    TAA, Chilwell, Cancelo, Livramento.
    Salah, Raphinha, Benrahma.
    Vardy, Jimenez, Antonio.
    Bachmann, Rudiger, Gray, Bissouma.
    2ft, 1.1 ITB. WC. OR about 45k.

  17. Areyouthereyet
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Hello lads. Benching headache. Start Livra or Raphinha?

  18. Sheffield Wednesday
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bench one
    a) Foden*(EVE)
    b) Rüdiger (lei)
    c) Mbeumo (new)

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B

      1. Sheffield Wednesday
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        That's what I had chosen.

  19. Out now
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Which spurs defender will be best for next 4 gw?

    1. snow pea in repose
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Royal

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

      Regu

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      One of the wingbacks

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

      Emerson quarter pounder

  20. Mozumbus
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Which player(s) out of these is least likely to start:
    Foster
    TAA Azpi Rudiger Semedo
    Salah KDB Raphinha
    Jimenez Antonio Toney

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

      KDB will not start.

      1. Mozumbus
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yes, just noticed he's red flagged. Thanks.
        Do you think Son is an easy swap using FT. Or shall I take hit for a better move?

  21. Fabreghastly
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I've noticed a lot of people talking about taking hits. Be interesting to gauge what's actually going on this week.

    So what are you doing? C for me

    A. save a transfer for next week
    B. WC
    C. no hits
    D. -4
    E. -8
    F. Other

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A for the first time this season

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

      C. Exciting Sanchez to Krul transfer

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Krul to save a penalty. I'm calling it

    3. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      D

    4. JoeTweaks
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I did D before the end of last gw

  22. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    So many people are considering benching Raph.

    At this rate, he's probably going to score a brace

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

      Its okay, I will somehow convince my mind that it was the right decision (or feel less guilty by saying that at least I didnt sell him)

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Bench points is better than no points at all.

        Time for a change in perspective 😉

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

          😀

        2. JoeTweaks
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Lol...also benching him currently

  23. Daniyal
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    A) Raphinha + Antonio --> Jota + 7.2 fwd 2 FT
    B) Raphinha + Mbeumo --> Jota + 4.5 mid 2 FT

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Ustaz Don?

      C. Mbeumo out

      1. Daniyal
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        best replacement ? 5.8 and under

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Ugh just missed Gallagher eh

          Maybe ESR in preparation for GW13 and easy bench this week so you can play Raph at ease

  24. DARE TO BISCAN
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Morning All

    Which one to bench:
    A) Raphinha
    B) Vardy
    C) Livramento
    D) Toney

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      C unfortunately

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks. It's the one I'm leaning towards

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

      A

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        A & C are my main choices. Ta

    3. FantasyClub
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think B. Definitely not C though

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

      Same dilemma. I am benching C.

    5. DARE TO BISCAN
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Think I'm going for C. Cheers.

  25. RogDog_jimmy
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Alright - made it this late. Still got choices to make.

    Currently set up like this

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo, Azpi, Chillwell, Livramento
    Salah, Jota, Raphinha, Gallagher
    Antonio, Vardy
    (Foster, Duffy, Jimenez, Brownhill)

    1 ft, 3.8itb

    Could do nothing and roll, or any of the following.

    a/ Azpi > TAA
    b/ Duffy > TAA (bench someone…Vardy?)
    c/ Vardy > Kane

    Son rise tonight stops Raphinha > Son, but I’m ok with that.

    Kind of want to wait for another’s weeks info before moving on anyone at the moment.

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

      B and bench Liv

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

        Yeah probably the right bench person.
        Issue with this is using all my funds and not able to get up to Kane next week.
        Azpi > TAA leaves enough for Vardy > Kane if I want.

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

          Has to be A in that case

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Seems like A is the responsible thing to do. Probably will in the end.

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

      A

    5. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      A

    6. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Lol anyone for A?

      Removing a rotation risk defender for the best value defender in the season seems the right thing to do. Especially for free.

      Thanks for the confirmation all!

  26. andre_c
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Which 2 to bench from:

    1. Raph

      Save

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

      Probably save

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

      Cheers guys. Probably the sensible choice, I just don't know if I trust the Brentford boys!

  28. S3
