FPL Gameweek 34 Q&A and Mark Sutherns’ Free Hit draft

It’s the day before another deadline, so it’s time for the one and only Mark Sutherns’ take on the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) landscape.

Mark is once again joined by Andy North but in a slight deviation from the usual format, the pair step in for Az and Sam to host our weekly Q&A video.

It’s a charity special, too, as all the money raised from the Super Chats is going to Street Child United.

Our co-hosts will also be discussing their own team and transfer plans for Gameweek 34, with Mark revealing his Free Hit draft.

Technical issues (would you expect anything less?) means that the video is cut into two parts, both of which are below.

    FH version 3.45
    Thoughts? Sterling captain punt too risky?

    Ederson
    Laporte Alonso Robbo
    Sterling(vc) Salah Havertz(c) Jota Zaha
    Werner Nketiah

    Raya Veltman Thomas Gelhardt

      Thats a bit different to mine, I like the Zaha pick. This is what I am on:

      Sanchez
      Trent Laporte Cancelo James
      Salah Jota Sterling Mount Havertz
      Wood

      Steele Mateta Veltman 4.5

      1. HuttonDressedasLahm
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Decent
        I think Matera over Wood though

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Like it, not sold on Nketiah and Alonso though

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Any of you guys not considering Ronaldo? Sure, United might concede a few but I actually fancy him to start both and can score vs both

        Starting with Ronnie in the FH team

        1. HuttonDressedasLahm
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          Can’t afford with Salah/Sterling

          1. lilmessipran
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 12 months ago

            The trick is to be brave and let Mo go for this gw 😉

  2. sk24

    Need to have my WC team set up for tomorrow in the next hour (BB36, FH37). Leave it as is?

    Ederson
    TAA Robbo Cancelo James Alonso
    Salah Son Havertz(c) Saka
    Pukki

    Foster, Nketiah Dennis Gordon

    1. Boz
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Very similar to mine so I like it!

    2. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Will Alonso start both?

      1. sk24
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Looking at it like a guaranteed start in this GW. I'm fine with that when it's Alonso - possibility of two starts only a bonus.

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years

      All good! Sterling over Son is my debate below

    4. sk24

      Thanks

  3. evilfish
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC? Plan is Sterling > Son next week.

    Schmeichel (Foster)
    TAA Robertson Cancelo Alonso (Amartey)
    Salah Sterling Mount Saka Ramsey
    Werner Nketia (Pedro)

  4. Mikey44
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Dubravka
    Cancelo Robertson James
    Salah Son Maddison Raphinha Saka
    Weghorst Wood
    Subs: Ramsdale Davies Broja Tierney*

    1 FT, 1.2m itb

    Any advice please? Thank you

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Raphinha to Mount/Havertz very obvious

    2. KieranKA
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Tierney to Alonso, or Raphinha to Mount

    3. Mikey44
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I’m .1 off Raphinha to Mount guys. Should I just do Alonso to Tierney or take a -4/-8?

    Hi!

    Not an exciting conundrum but..
    Which one would you pick out of:

    A. Barnes
    B. Bernado Silva
    C. Zaha
    D. Maddison

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 12 months ago

            Looking right now & will reply in a mo'.

  6. KieranKA
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    On a Wildcard - rate my team!

    0.1 ITB, BB36
    Schmeichel // Foster
    Trent Cancelo James Royal // Young
    Salah Son Mount(c) Coutinho Saka
    Mateta // Pukki Gelhardt

    Transfer plan: Mount and Gelhardt to Gordon and Watkins in GW36

    Thoughts? I'm open to changing Schmeichel, Young, Saka and Gelhardt, and part of me wants KdB over Son. All advice welcome

    1. H.E. Pennypacker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Personally I would load up on Liverpool n Spurs.
      Trent/Robbo/Salah
      Sonny/Harry/Kulu
      I'd back this up with Leicester players. Villa haven't got much to play for. I'd look at the teams with more games to play + those with more to play for.
      Good luck!

    2. H.E. Pennypacker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I'm also having a ponder about Burnley defenders.. They looked solid in last nights game + two scored.

  7. kennethrhcp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    is Seamus Coleman nailed?

    1. KieranKA
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Not 100%, Kenny seems to rotate with him

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        cheers

      2. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Can't see that rotation happening anytime soon and has only really happened when coleman had a knock of some sort
        Kenny was shocking in the burnley loss.
        The bigger issue is getting any Everton defender
        Pickford at a stretch because he has the occasional worldie game in him and will usually face shots regardless

  8. Tinslinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Just watched this having taken a -8 for Mount, Werner and Alonso from Son, Broja and White.

    Very tempted to use my free hit instead now.

    1. Tinslinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Rudiger* not white

    2. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Good moves but 8 points down already
      FH maybe better

    3. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      FH mate.

  9. NATSTER
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Is Ronaldo still good to keep for DGW34?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I would. Unless on WC

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I am actually considering to have him on FH, good keep this gw imo

    3. NATSTER
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Thanks

  10. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    WC 95% locked. How is it guys?
    2.2k so hoping for a final push! BB36. FH37. Last call on Sterling (then move to Son next week) or straight to Son?

    Schm, (Foster)
    TAA, Cancelo, Laporte, Robbo, (Davies)
    Salah, Havertz, Mount, Son/Sterling, (KDH)
    Pukki, Nketiah, (Dennis)

    1. KieranKA
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I’m also on a WC albeit from a much lower ranking.

      Far prefer KdB to Sterling if you can afford, otherwise I’d just play Son vs Brentford.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Thanks

    2. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Class team mate. Great rank too, good luck to you.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Cheers boss! Go with Sterling or just go Son? GL to you too matey! WC above looks great!

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          FH above*

        2. Weak Become Heros
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 12 months ago

          If you dont have Kane Id go Son. Sterling very much a one week punt this week. If you’re happy to book in a transfer next week start with Raz.

    3. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      well done Rafa!!!!

      I'd go Son (FTs come in handy down the line)

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Thanks mate 🙂

    4. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Looks good, I'm on similar and wondering whether to downgrade Robbo to Matip to upgrade KDH to Saka

    5. bigdip
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      who is KDH?

    6. sk24
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      I'm going with Son - want him for 35(C) and looking to switch for KDB in 36 with 2ft. With Sterling in now, all that would have to be for a -4, although he looks good for this Watford game I'd captain Havertz anyway so loses a bit of edge and of course Son could easily match/outscore anyway.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Very true cheers

        1. sk24

    7. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Super - slightly puzzled by Davies is all.

      Sterling must be worth a swing this week.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Aye. Can’t find a better 4.4 defender, can you? White at 4.6 would have been nice

    8. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Amazing rank! Congrats - and hope this team pays off for you...

      ...and not just 'cos the only differences between yours and mine are Matip for Robbo and Amartey for Davies haha.

      Where have you landed on the Son vs Sterling decision?

    9. Heiro
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      nice WC. Not worried about lack of Chelsea? Also Davies has a double but I cant see them not conceeding in both games.

      1. Heiro
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Ignore me. I see you doubled up in midfield. Nice one

      2. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        Yeah I can’t afford anything better than Davies. Agree it’s the one big downside

  11. donbagino
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Best cheap 4,2 def for WC: Marcal, Dalot, Amartey, Veltman?

    1. KieranKA
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Dalot because of DGW. Veltman is the most nailed though

      1. donbagino
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 12 months ago

        I'm on 4 premium defs, so 5th is a fodder but thanks. Marcal rotation risk?

    2. H.E. Pennypacker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Veltman.

  12. Kay317

    Out:
    A) Bowen
    B) Maddison

    In:
    1) Havertz
    2) Mount

    1. KieranKA

      A

    3. RAFA THE GAFFA

      It’s so close I was about to say A but actually B. Almost flip a coin territory

  14. GoonerByron
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    Which GK to start?

    A - Schmeichel
    B - Dubravka

    1. L S P
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Dubie Dubie Du

    2. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      Id probably go B unless you also have a newcastle defender

  15. GE
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 12 months ago

    On Wildcard, will BB in GW36/37
    What would you do?

    1) TAA, Salah and Mount
    2) Matip, Son and Mane
    3) Other suggestions?

    Schmeichel
    Cancelo/Laporte/Robbie/Alonso/xxx
    KDB/Kulusevski/xxx/xxx
    Pukki

    Bench: Foster, Gordon, Dennis, Mateta

    1. KieranKA
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      A. Mané and Matip are much bigger rotation risks than Salah and Trent

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 12 months ago

      1

    3. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…

    Ramsdale
    Robbo Laporte Cancelo
    Salah Saka Martinelli Barnes Kulu
    Kane Wood

    1FT 3.0ITB

    A) Ait Nori -> James/Alonso
    B) Martinelli -> Mount
    C) Ait Nori, Saka -> Alonso, Mount (-4)

    I think C looks best for this week but leaves me with Martinelli/ poor bench and still have BB

    1. KieranKA

    DF - Taylor (Y) Schaar (Z)

    Please let me know what you think. I currently have ot as 2AZ

      Is this a WC selection?

        Nope, current line up and transfer would cost me 4 points. No City exposure is worrying.

    Anyone else considering sacrificing Kane for Chelsea midfield cover? Struggling to find another route in…

    1. H.E. Pennypacker

      For me, no chance.

      Seeing a lot of wc teams without Kane atm, not sure I'm on it. Currently WC myself but might be keeping Kane

    3. Indpush

      Many.

      For me Kane, Ramsey Broja out for Werner, Mount, Pukki.

      I have Kul and Son if that has any weight.

      You chasing a ML? If so, take Ronaldo + midfielder out and go for City. Needs to be KDB or Sterling.
