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.

        Never win; not a threat; bit of a joke club

          I hate Chelsea just as much tbh.

            Oil clubs are generally the worst. But I hate those clubs that sign the best players from their rivals and just dominate their league. So boring and greedy.

        Hated, adored, never ignored

        Don’t support them btw but I think that’s very apt for them

          You also said Mbappe was joining United

            No, someone asked who we thought he’d join - I think I said Madrid or Utd. I’m not sure I’m following mate

        Just shows how big united are, have been useless for close to 10 years, and still live rent free in opposition supporters heads, while you have state run clubs literally running football.

        1. Grande Tubarão
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years

          Yep, I don’t support anyone but for me it says more about how successful and big Utd are

    2. The Movement
      • 2 Years

      United

    3. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years

      From those I’d say City and PSG for the oil money stuff, then Real for the number of times they’ve screwed over Utd in the Champions League, then Juventus and Bayern as not really bothered by them lol

    4. Corona is not good 4 U
      • 3 Years

      Bayern München because the are very arrogant. I am German.

    5. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Chelsea. No contest

    6. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      City and PSG.

      Any club that Pepe, John Terry, Ashley Barnes, Kevin Nolan and Ramos play/ played for at the time.

    G2G?

    Schmeical
    VVD, Rudiger, Clyne
    KDB, Son, Madison, Saka
    Toney, Kane, Mateta

    Pickford, Burn, Holgate, Ramsey...

    Arsenal fans preparing for the Europa nonsense next season . Best they could have achieved in all honesty.

    1. It’s A Joke
      • 13 Years

      True.

    2. Sheffield Wednesday
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Europa is designed to keep the second tier way too busy to challenge the elites' Champions League places. It's a poisoned chalice.

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I see it as a punishment for not being good enough.

    3. Grande Tubarão

      I don’t like them

    4. Oscar Slater

      Yeah, just do away with it altogether. Why bother competing for anything unless you're at the very top of the food chain?

    87 was the worst year in history

      Why was that ?

          Close Rocket Racoon. I remember there was this really god awful comic called Viz, was out around those days.

          When I say awful, I mean awful.

          1. Hooky
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Viz was the biz

              • 3 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              Viz magazine is aimed at readers who enjoy comedy from the likes of Bernard Manning or Jim Davidson.

              Totally outdated, unpopular and down right offensive.

              If Nigel Farage was a magazine he would be Viz.

                • 14 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                I can assure you that Viz was not and is not in any way right wing.
                Bizarre.

                This is the most uninformed and idiotic comment that I've ever read on this forum!

        3. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Ah yes Raccoon I remember a marvelous comic called Viz where all the characters actually had pictorial identities. It appears nowadays that there are some unfortunate individuals who don't have the intelligence to get one.

    Anyone daring to captain Toney? Could also go Mount.

    Don’t fancy Son (c) and don’t trust my Liverpool, City assets to play defo play 90 or score well.

    1. The Movement
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He would be a massive differential that’s for sure. 100% Son for me, hoping for a cricket score

    I really hope the Conte statue for getting top 4 rumours are untrue. For Tottenham’s sake really

    1. noissimbus

      Consistent with their choices so far like the CD commemorating their CL final journey, so why not?

    2. Connor's Calling

    Richarlison out for ...

    A) Vardy
    B) Toney

    or

    Richarlison AND White out for ...

    1) Vardy and Sessegnon/Royal (-4)
    2) Toney and Robertson (-4)

    Schmeichel
    TAA - Cancelo - Laporte - Alonso
    Son (c) - KdB (vc) - Mount - Saka - Zaha

    Anyone else feel like they are on the beach with their target for 38?

    I’m 30K (dropped from 21K last week) and I don’t really know what my target should be now.

    Dubravka
    TAA James Laporte Cancelo
    Saka KDB Son (c?) Maddison Kulusevski
    Richarlison

    Pickford Ings Shar Ferguson

    1.1m ITB

    1. Ings > Toney / Wilson
    2. Laporte + Ings > Sessegnon + Vardy (c?)

    Am I missing another tasty minus 4 opportunity?

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Aim for too 20k?

      1 - Toney?

      Think Vardy could rip it up- but hit for a 1 week punt always risky

      1. AYLD28
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah, top 20K would be a nice finish. I feel like I have at least one player in all of the best fixtures I think:

        Chelsea v Watford - James
        Norwich v Spurs - Son/Kulu
        Leicester v Saints - Maddison

        I like Toney as that fixture could have goals in it with Leeds needing to win.

        Do you think no hit and just Toney is a good move to reach 20K? I can’t really get Kane with it a big hit. Vardy can only come in for a -4 as I need to find 1.5m.

          Dias is fit? Also Jesus' form has dipped a bit, could be making way for Grealish or Mahrez imo.

      Vardy, if money no question.

      I'd sell

    2. noissimbus

    I've got a proper feeling in my water that Manchester City will have the sort of result against Villa on Sunday that Chelsea had on the last day of the season against Wigan in 2010 when in a similar situation.

    1. Big boy Bowen

          Sorry, didn't notice Salah there - easiest move you will make then. Can you do Salah to Son, Rich to Vardy ?

            No. Have only 9.6 itb for a striker

    2nd chasing 26 points in mini league. 1st and 3rd have Son and will Captain. So I’m gonna have to captain Kane

    1FT. What other moves to do? Thinking Salah to Diaz, Cash to Alonso

    Kasper
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Laporte (cash)
    Salah Maddison Kulu Saka (Martinelli)
    Kane(C) Nketiah (Mateta)

      Does anyone have KDB above you? Mane could be the differential this week mate

    2. The Knights Template

      Those moves are fine. Do they have Son?

    3. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm in same boat (13 PTS gap)

      I'm looking at Salah to Mane or Sterling and captain

    Would you play Nketiah or bVardy (-4)

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Vardy for -4, live a little

  24. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best transfer in for GW38

    1. Maddison
    2. Bowen

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Both good. Lean toward Maddison.

        Thank you, reckon he starts?

    Really could use your help here - 20 pt ML lead on the line

    Ramsdale (Pickford)
    Robertson Cancelo Matip James (Laporte)
    Son KDB Saka Jota Coutinho
    Richarlison (Nketiah) (Mateta)

    My ML opponent has Mount and Laporte.

    A. Play Laporte, Coutinho to Mount, Rich to Toney; Bench Jota
    B. Play Laporte, Rich to Vardy, Cout to 4.5
    C. Bench Laporte, Cout to Mount, Rich to Toney

    Any thoughts on whether Everton will show up on Sunday. Out Thursday night for a few beers, nothing to play for and mentally wrecked plus an away.

    Or

    Professional who will play with the pressure off?

    Good evening. Really could do with some advice guys. 5.4m itb, no free transfers left so any move would be for a hit.

    Team:

    Schemichael

    Robbo Cancelo Laporte James
    Son (c) Mount Maddison KDB Ramsey
    Richarlison
    Sanchez Tsimikas fodder fodder.

    Chasing about 20 points in mini league and can’t decide do I bring in Kane or vardy? Fairly certain I’m captaining son do neither would be fit captaincy.

    Potentially willing to take a -8 as I could bring in vardy and Kulu for Ramsey who will likely blank against city.

    Or just bring Kane in for -4 and play Ramsey.

    Any suggestions or other moves would be greatly appreciated! Thank you 🙂

    Thoughts on this FH team guys?

    Raya
    Sess Alonso Matip
    Son KDB Diaz Mount Maddison
    Vardy Kane
    ( Tsim Amarty Richardson)

    1. Tigger_7
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Almost same as my FH team
      Raya
      Sess James TAA
      Son Foden Diaz Mount Maddison
      Vardy Kane
      ( Tsim Richardson Kelly)

      Not sure about James, Maddison & Vardy minutes
      Should I go with more nailed on starters? Laporte, havertz, Toney??

      1. CRAZY TRAIN
        • 12 Years

        James is definitely worth a punt but I share your concerns re Vardy and Maddison.

    chelsea are going to be playing guys like saul, azpi, barkley, etc do you think they will play that well?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No. They will play poorly.

    What’s the biggest lead you’ve overcome in the final week?
    Is 429 unassailable?

    1. Grande Tubarão
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      429 points? That’s a big ask, mate. You’ll need a differential captain

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yes - I’m only 429 off top spot, need a couple of differentials, some due good luck, and enough time to hack around 200 thousand teams.
        Then it’s all mine!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          😆 good luck mate!

            • 7 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            10 down, few more to go…

        2. Sheffield Wednesday
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          You'll have to change your name to "Hack'em Ziyech" or something if you pull that off.

          1. Big boy Bowen
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            One way to get famous I guess

    2. FCSB
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not if you live by your name and score 45 goals v Norwich
