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.

    3:30pm KO is messed up this week, too many players at same time.

    Best replacement for Grealish? 7.8m ITB.

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

      Jota, Gundagon or something different with Trossard?

    2. Going Home
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Gallagher

    Hi All,

    Mendy
    Chilwell, TAA, Regulion, Cancelo
    Salah (c) Son (vc) Raphinha, Havertz,
    Hwang, Pukki

    Bench - Toney, Gallagher, Livra

    Tough to decide if bench should be on first 11.

    Should Raphinha be in against Spurs? Or Chilwell when I have Mendy & Havertz.

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

      Raphinha > Gallagher
      Chilwell > Toney

    Ramsdale
    Taa Cancelo James -- Duffy Liv
    Salah Foden Raph Mbeumo -- Brownhill
    Antonio Kane Toney

    A: Toney >> Wilson
    B: Toney + Brownhill >> Jota + davis (-4)

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

    Which 2 to bench from:

    1. Raph
    2. Antonio
    3. Armstrong
    4. Livra

    Thanks

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

      2 - Antonio plays

      I would bench one of the Southampton players.

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

    Would you do Toney to Wilson for free this week?

    I'm planning to do that move in GW14 btw

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      GW14 would be better

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

        Stick to the plan eh

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

      Yes if doing it anyway.

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

        Another way looking at it, surely

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

          Home against Brentford decent fixture too.

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

            Yeah but Toney has new EVE, while Wilson has BRE ars next two

            Something to consider

    3. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Probably save. Toney about as likely to score this week as Wilson

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

        This

  7. Vici007
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Guaita
    Cancelo Alexander-Arnold James Livramento
    Son Salah Mbeumo Jota
    A.Armstrong Toney
    Steer Havertz Hwang Johnson

    ITB 2.3, 1FT.
    Options -
    A. Save the FT. Do nothing. Wait to see how Conte sets up with Kane, to plan the next move
    B. Havertz to Zaha, play Zaha instead of Livramento
    C. Havertz to Gallagher, play Gallagher instead of Livramento
    D. Havertz to Bowen, play Bowen instead of Livramento
    E. Play Havertz instead of Livramento

    Anything else? Happy to listen to your opinions.

    1. FPL Alaska
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I would play Havertz for sure this week. Save FT and bench one of Armstrong or Liv

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

      A - I would play Havertz, so I would get 2 FT for next week and then possibly invest in Spurs.

  8. Going Home
    • 12 Years

    Start:

    a) Ramsdale

      1. Going Home
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Helpful. Worked well as a cheap pair so far. Just hit a bad week and need to minimise damage. No dramas

  9. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Play one:

    A) Rudiger playing for the best defence in the league travelling to Leicester

    B) The most attacking fullback Matty Lowton against Palace at home

    1. Holmes

    2. NABIL - FPL otai

      Sorry this is too hard for me

    3. FPL Alaska

      Mbeumo for sure.

      The Southampton lads

    5. Obamawang

    6. BT

      Basically all the options covered in the answers, thanks all! It's a tricky one.

    7. JoeTweaks
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think I'd play any defender against Norwich,so A
      Not sure of the second...this is a very difficult decision

    8. Beatle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Play B & D

  12. LLoris

    Who should I start?
    A} Tsimi
    B} Coufal

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tsimikas

    2. George James
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tough one. Prob Coufal

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

      B

      Both might not even play

      2 years, 5 months ago

      Good question! Jimi, just.

    4. Holmes

      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

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

      B as Jiminez could well be benched and come on for a cameo.

  15. Obamawang
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Start Livra or Vardy?

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

      Wow, just now it was Jimmy, now Vardy. The power of Livra.

      Toss a coin

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      The penalty guy...

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

        Using this factor, Livra will continue to provide bench points 😉

    3. 1zverGGadeM
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy

      1. Obamawang
        • 5 Years

    Suggestions?

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    TAA Cancelo James (Livramento white)

      Vardy and Foden to Kane and Jota?

      1. Sid07
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

      Livra.
      Is Laporte suspended? I thought he was but maybe not then.

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

        No,he's available now...his suspension was for one match

    Final question for the week. Start one of -

    a/ Jimenez (WH) - concerned he won’t start like after last IB and gets a late cameo
    b/ Livramento (nor)
    c/ Duffy (avl)

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

  19. Esalman

    2 years, 5 months ago

    Foster Ramsdale
    Chilwell Semedo White Livra fodder
    Salah Raphinha Son ESR Mount
    Jesus Jiminez Broja

    Semedo > Cancelo for free logical move?

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

      Yes. It's beyond logic

    2. King Kun Ta

      2 years, 5 months ago

      Yep

  20. Hestefan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Really don't know what to do this week with 2FT and 0.4 ITB

    Ramsdale (Foster)
    TAA Cancelo Chilwell (Livra Duffy)
    Salah (C) Foden Raph Mbeumo (D.Luiz)
    Kane Antonio Toney

    A. Foden -> Joya
    B. D. Luiz -> Normann or 4.4
    C. Something else (what?)

    Thanks in advance. Comments are greatly appreciated.

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

      Joya = Jota obviously ☺

    2. Killitzer
      • 14 Years

      A. Sounds as if Foden might not play

    Morning all

    With 2 Chelsea defence and a bit of a misfiring team I’m wondering if I have the right bench order

    Guaita
    Chilwell Rudiger Livra
    Raphinha Salah Foden Gallagher
    Kane Vardy Antonio
    Steer Duffy Marcal McArthur

    Play Rudiger over Duffy/Marcal? AV have been poor but have new manager.

    Cheers for any input

    1. AzzaroMax99

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

      Definetely Rüdiger. Also right bench order imo.

  23. AzzaroMax99
    • 7 Years

    G2G?

    Guaita
    Taa Cancelo Chilwell Livra

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

        Thanks. I think Kane makes more sense over Son if for a hit.

  25. shapply
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    2 things on my mind when it comes to the first XI

    1) Livramento or Vardy?
    2) Tsimikas or Raphinha?

    the rest of the squad:
    Foster (Sanchez)
    TAA, Chilwell, Rudiger
    Mbeumo, Gallagher, Cornet, Salah
    Ronaldo

  26. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who to bench?
    A. Raphinha (have Son)
    B. ESR (have Salah)
    C. Mount

    1. yanky
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      prob mount due to fitness doubt

  27. yanky
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    play saka (liv) or veltman (avl)??

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Saka

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Probably saka

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
