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.

    7. Bleh
      • 7 Years

    Morning everyone. On WC, 0.3 ITB.
    GTG?

    Bench order correct?

    Guaita
    TAA,James,Chilwell,Cancelo
    Salah(c),Son(Vc),Foden,Mbeumo
    Wilson,Antonio

    Bench : Foster,Gallagher,Livra,Broja

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

      Play Gallagher over mbeumo

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

        This

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'd lose Mbeumo on a WC and play Livra instead

      Broja to Hwang (2nd sub), Mbeumo to Brownhill/Bissouma (3rd sub)

      Keep the funds ITB. You'll need them by GW16

      1. LC1
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Basically this

    3. KANTEnders

      Cheers everyone

    Any new injury news before pens away?

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

    Thoughts on Vardy and Foden > Kane and Jota with 2FTs?

    1. KANTEnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn’t lose Foden

    2. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      The players you're selling are likely to outscore the players you're buying on the short, medium and long terms

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

      Not even

    5. Salan
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Do it. Kane and Jota will outscore Vardy and Foden in short terms, 3-5 weeks.

  5. Jonesfromthere
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bench Chilwell or Royal guys?

    1. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Royal

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

      Chilwell might have a point to prove against his old club

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

      Royal

  6. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed. Any changes needed? 0.5 ITB.

    Steele
    TAA, Cancelo, Chilwell, Livramento
    Salah, Son, Jota, Gallagher
    Vardy, Antonio

    (Sanchez*, Dennis, Duffy, Allan)

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

      Unless you need to burn a ft, I’d hold

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

        Cheers, will hold.

    2. isthoralive
      • 2 Years

      I’d bench Reguilon for Benrahma

    3. TSN

      thanks mate

    4. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years

      Absolutely G2G, imo

      Highest points potential players are starting, instead of following price bias

  8. Big W
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Play 2

    A) Raph
    B) Livra
    C) Benrahma
    D) ESR

      AB

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

    Jota worth a -4? Would replace Jiminez in a shift from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2.

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

      maybe next week

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Wait a week.

    3. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No. Check Wolves fixtures.

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

    Foden is in the training videos and participating 100%. Pep is talking bull.

    1. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      When was the video taken?

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

        Thing is, Pep said the knock was from international duty

        If he's in Man City training, the video is *after* the knock

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

          https://twitter.com/FFScout/status/1461690813038137344?s=20

          Pep Guardiola: "Jack [Grealish] is getting better after going to the national team. Phil Foden came back with a knock, a problem with his leg but is getting better."

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            I heard Pep's interview. Seems undecided?

  11. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Last thing. Would do Vardy to Kane?

    Y or N

    Have Son

    1. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      No

    2. KANTEnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      No

    4. isthoralive

      No if you have Son

  12. Fletch365
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Would you do raphinia > Jota?

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

      No

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

  13. Johan Queef
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Start 2:

    A) Jimenez (WHU)
    B) Raphinha (tot)
    C) Mbeumo (new)
    D) Livramento (nor)

    Thanks!

    benrahma > Son for free? have 2 FT

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

      Yes

    2. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hell yeah

    3. LC1
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Without a doubt

  15. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Unbeaten in 6 games….2 wins on the trot….he scored in last 2 games including away at city…great fixtures right into February…someone tell me please….STEP AWAY FROM THE ZAHA

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

      In a world with bad fixtures and form elsewhere, I'd triple up on Palace: Zaha + Gallagher + Guaita are perfect for FPL atm

      As things stand, it's just the GG double-up for me, from GW13

    2. fish&chips
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I have exact money to bring him in but will give me a real benching headache this week (play 2 of Livra, Jimenez, zaha or Raphina) and burnley’s home record isn’t that bad so think I’ll hold the transfer and consider bringing him in next week

  16. Goooo Rickie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Any Arsenal fans here captaining Salah?

    How do you guys play captaincy when it's against YOUR team?

    1. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It’s a win-win: he scores you get the points; he doesn’t, you probably get the three points.

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

      I am, can’t let being a homer affect your common sense that he loves to
      score against Arsenal

  17. Blanka
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Sanchez out worth a -4? Who for ? Guaita possibly ? Or just suck it up ?!

    1. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Suck

  18. Button Phobic
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Havertz to Son anyone?

    1. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

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

      I wouls

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

      Not this week; Havertz still playing OOP striker.

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

    Have been going back forth on this one so a quick straw poll.
    Vardy and Raphinha out for:

    A) Wilson and Son
    B) Kane and Gallagher

    Thanks

    Taa, Cancelo, Chilwell, James

  21. jimbo_smells
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Morning all,

    Thoughts on which 2 to bench from this lot?

    A) Rudiger (LEI)
    B) Saka (LIV)
    C) Mbeumo (NEW)
    D) Livra (NOR)
    E) Hwang (WHU)

    Currently benching 1) Rudiger (have Chillwell and not confident in double up) and 2) Saka... but not confident

    Cheers

  22. Return of the FF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy to Kane, or roll?

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

      Yes

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

      Roll

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

    Final questions,

    Salah or Ronaldo captain?

    Field Ramsdale or Steele?

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

      Play Ramsdale. You could go Ronaldo, big call though.

      I dont see a 3-0 thrashing at Liverpool.

      Arsenal are better at 1-0 wins or 1-1 draws than scoring loads IMO.

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

        cheers. similar thoughts.

        1. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Right now my C is on Ronaldo but I don't feel comfortable which is kind fo ridiculous really. If you asked me in isolation who I think will score more points this GW I'd say Ronaldo but the effective ownership is very worrying

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

            yes. it's difficult aha.

  24. CrouchDown
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Vardy + Mbeumo > Wilson + Foden/Jota with 2 FT?

  25. evilfish
    • 8 Years

    Bench one please:

    a) Mbeumo
    b) Toney

    1. AC/DC AFC

      Top 2.

  28. mufcpaul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Morning All, G2G and lose an FT?
    2 FT, 0.2 ITB

    Foster
    Liv, Chill, Walker, Omo
    Foden, Salah (vc), Mount
    Toney, CR (c), Vardy

    (Sanchez, SR, White, Brownhill)

  29. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    What do we think about Wilson? A must have? Nice to have?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      He's a nice to have until he finds his form again.

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

      Nice to have over likes of Jimenez/Toney

  30. Gerry Hattrick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Havertz or Foden to Gallagher? Need to raise the cash.

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

      Havertz if part of longer term plans
