Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 38 preview and transfer plans

The one and only Mark Sutherns is back to survey the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) landscape in our latest exclusive video for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

Mark is joined by Luke Williams to look ahead to the final Gameweek of the season.

“Mild panic” is setting in as injuries and rotation risks threaten to derail what is a juicy-looking Gameweek 38, with the pair discussing the merits of taking hits on the final weekend.

The Mohamed Salah (£13.1m) to Son Heung-min (£11.2m) move also dominates discussion as Luke and Mark discuss their own team, captaincy and transfer plans for Gameweek 38.

The pair recorded their video earlier on Friday and you can watch it via the embedded player below.

Free seven-day trials are still available for non-subscribers, which you can get here.

    Who is on corners for WHU?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Bowen and Cresswell normally

  2. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    How likely is Schar to play?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Also wondering this. Considering a swap for Sess

  3. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Ah a part of me really wants to go KDB cap as most will be on Son

  4. Garth Marenghi
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    FH team:

    Raya (3.9)
    Robertson, James, Cancelo (Amartey, Tsimikas)
    Mount, KDB, Son, Luis Diaz, Kulu
    Welbeck, Vardy (Gelhardt)

    A) good to go
    B) could be better

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      You choose Kulu in a FH team? Interesting. Seen people selling for a hit for the likes of Mount, Barnes and Bowen

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        I already had him, but was thinking since he was rested last week. Or is he injured? Bowen is a good shout.

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Would want at least someone assured of minutes on your bench

      1. Garth Marenghi
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        True, might downgrade James.

    3. Geriatric Unathletic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      FH. You NEED a stronger bench. Rotation central possible on final week. James, Vardy possibly even Mount.

  5. Jones Kusi
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Would you? 17 points ahead in ML.
    Dias, Ings > James, Toney (-4 and bench Richarlison or Martinelli)

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Maybe just Ings to Toney

      1. Jones Kusi
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        You would rather go Toney before James?

        1. Garth Marenghi
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          I think Toney has the bigger upside. James has a big upside too, but maybe rested?

          1. Freshy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            What position was James playing vs LEI?
            Only saw portions but seemed more central.
            The Alonso goal was classic James though

            1. Garth Marenghi
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 11 months ago

              I think rwb, and he most likely plays. I think. I basically don't trust James/Tuchel, but like the scoring potential.

  6. Pointless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Werner out to:
    A) Vardy
    B) Lukaku
    C) Kane
    ?

    1. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A, if you have Son

  7. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    Best move here? Salah/Mateta to

    A. Eriksen/Kane
    B. Mane/Toney
    C. Diaz/Vardy

    Dubravka
    James TAA Laporte
    Salah Son Saka Mount Coutinho
    Jesus Nketiah

    Schmeichel Mateta KWP Doherty

    1. Garth Marenghi

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Not sure why everyone is on Toney. 1 goal in the last 8. I know it's Leeds though. I would be tempted by C

      1. _Ninja_
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        Toney seems to like playing teams in the relegation zone... 17 pts v Norwich, 12 v Burnley

        1. Royal5
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 11 months ago

          Leeds can't afford to lose. Maybe they park the bus?

          1. _Ninja_
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            Possibly, I'm leaning C from the above. Cheers

          2. Sheffield Wednesday
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            If they had a bus.

          3. No Kane No Gain
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 11 months ago

            If Leeds fall behind, they have to go for it. Toney could be gold

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I like C

    1FT and £0, Only three decision left:

    iii) Bench a defender or mid?

    Pope Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Alonso Rüdiger Laporte
    Salah* Son Mount Saka Kulusevski

  10. Bobby_Baggio

    Which one people? 19 points ahead of 2nd place in league. He has Kane and son but no Salah or KDB. Cheers.

    Best midielder for 8.5 or less...shortlist is Diaz, Mount, Maddison....open to suggestions tho

    1. billydesmond

    Havertz - keep or sell?
    Schmeichel going to play?
    Weghorst -> Toney/Antonio/Nketiah ?

    1. billydesmond
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Get Toney

    Schmeichel
    TAA-Matip-James-Cancelo-Davies

    Which pair score more

    A. Maddison + Kane
    B. Diaz + Vardy
    C. Mane + Toney
    D. KDB+Toney
    D. Sterling + Maddison

    6 pts off in ML and our defences are basically the same but apart from Son our front 8 are completely different.

    Thanks guys.

    Already buzzing for next season. Definitely going to crush everyone here. Top 1k no doubt. Probably top 100.

    Currently sitting around 250k but next season will be different…

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      Load up on Utd assets from the start. With Atkinson, Dean and Moss all retiring they should be massively underpriced on how they performed next season vs how they’ll perform next season.

      What, not going for the win?

  17. DannyDrinkVodka
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 11 months ago

    A) Kane and Mount (block rival)
    B) Son and Barnes

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 11 months ago

      A looks better to me

    Is Kai to Foden worth a transfer?

    On bench boost so want starters

    1. The Movement
      • 2 Years

      If you don’t think Kai starts

  19. sully29

    Who to play?

    A) Laporte v AVL
    B) Odegaard v EVE

        1. No Kane No Gain
          • 5 Years

          Didn’t even get a shady bonus point to go with either as well

    Both for a -4
    A) Salah & Richarlison out for
    Diaz & Kane
    B) Salah & Davies out for
    Son & R James ( hope richarlison starts, or pukki on bench if needed)
    C) just salah to son no hit.

    Currently

    Hi Guys, Need help (b*ggered my counting up previous) 20 points ahead in ML. Need to get Son in. 0.7itb

    A) Coutinho, Jesus > Son, Fodder -4
    B) Coutinho, Rich, Zaha > Son, Kulu, Fodder -8 (would play 5-4-1)
    C) Coutinho, TAA > Son, Sess/Emerson Royal - 4
    D) other -8?

    1. jason_ni
      • 8 Years

      You will want to start Zaha vs utd.
      Utd are shocking.
      Id be tempted by a, just cause no certainty who will feature for city.

      1. Rbyrne95
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 11 months ago

        If I did do A the Fodder would be Geldhart who could quite frankly do decent with Leeds needing a win? ( Incase other players get rotated too)

        1. It’s A Joke

            Thanks man. Unless we pick Origi instead and hope for pure madness last minute pool goals lmao

            1. It’s A Joke
              • 13 Years

              Origi could be a shout. He’s bound to come on a seal the title 😀

                • 7 Years
                1 year, 11 months ago

                Ha yeah!! The only issue that gives me the fear is taking out Jesus if he 100% plays. City’s goal record at home is ridiculous.

      Definitely won’t play tomorrow mate. There’s nothing concrete but general consensus is that he probably doesn’t start

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years

        I've heard its 100%, no mins for him tomorrow.

    3. The Movement

    1. Grande Tubarão

      • 2 Years

      Utd or Madrid

      1. It’s A Joke

        Strong rumours staying at PSG. Hope not.

        United? Such silliness.

      2. George Sillett
        • 8 Years

        F all chance of him going to Utd with no Champions League.

      3. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years

        Mbappe wouldn’t join United if they had champions league and they offered him a million a day.

      Psg player coach/sporting director role.

      Games gone with that nonsense.

      Central Coast Mariners have been linked with him.

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Collins, Cancelo, Robertson
    Son (C), Kulusevski, KDB, Trossard
    Kane, Mateta

    Sa, Greenwood, McArthur, Kelly

    With 1FT and £1.9, is it a no-brainer to do Trossard -> Mount?

    A) Kane + Barnes/Saka
    B) Mane + Toney
    C) Diaz + Vardy

    Will probably captain Son. I'm both chasing and leading, so a bit irrelevant.

    You think Havertz will start on Sunday? Was gonna get rid but would rather use the transfer else where. I heard Lukaku and Pulisic werent good in last game so hoping Havertz comes straight back in.
