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.

    Last day nothing really on it. Apart from overall ranking best move

    A) zaha to foden
    B) Ricarlison to Vardy

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

      Fodenfreude!

    2. BERGKOP

    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. Coutinho to Mount, Rich to Toney for -4; (Play Laporte, Bench Jota)
    B. Rich to Vardy, Cout to 4.5, (Play Laporte)
    C. Cout to Mount, Rich to Toney (Bench Laporte)

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

      Cover Mount

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

      Just block mount and play laporte

  3. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best option here for 38-

    A Play Davies
    B Play Richa
    C Toney (-4)

    There’s nearly always some obscure player that hauls in the final week, wonder who it will be this season

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

      I’ll guess Gelhardt. It’s usually whoever I’ve got 1st on the bench. Maddison’s 25 points this GE

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

        *GW

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

          Gelhardt of Riviera an excellent choice.

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

        You benched Maddison?…

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

          Yeah, I was on FH - it was him or KDB

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

            Ouch!

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

        Laporte brace and CS on my bench incoming.

    2. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Pulisic is my guess.

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

        This

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Pepe

      1. L S P
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        This would really be something

      2. noissimbus
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 10 months ago

        He'd have to fight Arteta to get off the bench first.

    4. NorCal Villan
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Jonjo Shelvey

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

    I’m disgusted I’m not seeing Ronaldo’s name once this week in teams, sort it out lads

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

      This lot hate Utd

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

        So do I, and I support them

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

          Lol

    2. noissimbus
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Could be one the major differentials this GW. Or not.. one could dream.

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

    Chasing a 13pt ML gap.

    Best differential captain:

    A) Mane / Jota / Diaz
    B) Sterling /Foden / Jesus
    C) Toney
    D) Vardy
    E) Lukaku

    Ignoring Mount, Son, Maddiaon completely as rival owns them

    Thanks and good luck to everyone

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

      A. Mane

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

      D

      Or double bluff and go Son

    3. pricycle
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Mane

      1. pricycle
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        They will definitely captain son so you could still consider MADDISON or MOUNT

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

          Think Mount worth considering

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

          Thanks guys

          Yes I could go these guys or even KdB but his regular team is so we'll set up that I need a hail Mary play

          My gut was saying Mane and that seems to be my best bet

    Appreciate some help

    Ramsdale
    TAA, cancelo, Alonso, schar
    Salah, mount, Maddison, son, saka
    Nketiah
    Subs dubravka, Dias, mateta, broja

    Thinking Dias to James
    Or Salah out kdb or mane and/or above?
    Ramsdale or dubravka?

    Anything I missed? (Aware schar might not play) Salah out for Kane for a hit?

    1. The Knights Template

          Thanks for both your responses.

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

    A) Toney

    B) Pukki + 4 points…

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

      Pukki

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

        Ta

      2. Fer Fuch's Ake
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        b

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

        (Not seeing the sudden King Ivan hype, he was de-throned by me a few weeks back after doing back to back F Alls)

  9. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I'm stumped, please help pick 3 to start GW38:

    A- Barnes (sou)
    B- Havertz (wat)
    C- Davies (NOR)
    D- Richarlison (ars)
    E- Zaha (manu)

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

      ACE

    2. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'd go with A, B, E I think.

      I have Havertz also and I'm just hoping he starts.

  10. Strudders
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    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 transfer out Trossard for Mount?

    1. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes Mount or Foden if you can stretch to 7.9

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

      Yes. Mount

  11. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which 2 players I should bench form:

    Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Cancelo, Laporte, Alonso
    Son, De Bruyne, Mount, Saka
    Richarlison, Toney, Nketiah

    Thank you!

    1. pricycle
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Probably Richa and Toney. Tough though. Bench boost is the worst

    2. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Richi and Nket

    3. No Kane No Gain
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Richarlison and Nketiah

    4. billydesmond
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Rich and Laporte

  12. pricycle
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Bring in Vardy/Barnes for -4 or play Pukki?

  13. Ribus
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A) Coutinho -> KdB
    B) Coutinho -> KdB & Zaha -> Luis Diaz (-4)

    1. pricycle
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A. It's only one week

      1. pricycle
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I think I've just answered my own question above

        1. pricycle
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          That's so boring though

          1. Ribus
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            🙂
            Yes, not a fan of making hits last gw as well.
            But both of out hits are tempting though..

            1. Ribus
              • 10 Years
              1 year, 10 months ago

              *our hits

              1. pricycle
                • 10 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                I do think Zaha > Pukki so would defo play him Vs United. It is boring though

                1. Ribus
                  • 10 Years
                  1 year, 10 months ago

                  Right. Pukki 2pointer incoming. Vardy could be funny.
                  Do it. Much for fun for the last gw going with Vardy over Pukki

    2. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A.
      Zaha will probably get a peno against that shocking Utd defence

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

        Atkinson absolutely hates Utd - he’ll definitely give multiple pens. I would NOT be losing Zaha

    3. Ribus
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Thanks guys

    4. billydesmond

  14. Kay317
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    You think Havertz will start on Sunday?

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

      No

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Reason?

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

          I pretty much just agree with all the predicted lineups that’s it’s likely to be Lukaku with Pulisic and Mount behind. We could all be wrong of course

          1. Brehmeren
            • 13 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            The predicted lineups I've seen elsewhere have Havertz

          2. Kay317
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Oh right. I havent seen any predicted line up yet. The one on here is still for the previous game.

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

              I predict Havertz will be just awful.

    2. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’m hopeful off the bench last game and would fit into the haven’t played much lately bracket.

      I have and wondering whether to ship to Foden

      1. Kay317
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Trouble is with shipping for Foden is that hes also not guaranteed to play.

  15. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best Salah replacement if chasing? Already have Son...

    A KDB
    B Maddison
    C Mount
    D Diaz

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Depends who your rivals have I guess. But id probably go for KDB.

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

      A or C depending on your situ

    3. L S P
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      The answer is Mane

  16. v3n0m
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A) Salah -> Son
    B) Haverz -> Mount

    If A), start Haverz or Nketiah?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Be nice to know if havertz starts he could easily haul bs Watford

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

        A and punt Hav

  17. n14mul
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Anyone else worried vardy may not start Sunday?

    Back to back starts for him in the last 2

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

      Lots of rest to come - if he had played full 90 v Chelsea would have been concerned but pretty positive about him starting v Southampton

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

      He’ll play

    3. lugs
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      a little bit worried yeah, but i'll play him anyway as its silly to sell him for such a juicy fixture

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

      Rumours it’ll be his last for Leicester

    5. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      last home game of the season. think he'll play

  18. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Reece James and Diaz

    or

    Kane and Nketiah?

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

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

    I’m 30K (dropped from 21K last week) and would be nice to get top 20K.

    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?) -4

    Could even -8 and do all three moves

    Ings + Laporte + Richarlison > Toney + Vardy + Sessegnon

    Is my FT move of Ings > Toney enough to get a top 20K finish?

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Tough one. If you take hits you're being counter productive. So ideally just the one move but can't see Toney being your hero!
      Option 2 could well pay off big time so I think I'd go for that.
      As for captain choice, not sure who i'd go for between Vardy, Son and Kdb..all have great potential but I guess Vardy is the differential pick.

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      wouldnt transfer Laporte out imo,not when they have Stones and Walker back

  20. putana
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    too risky to bring in alonso, or nailed to start?

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He's not nailed to start by any means but if he plays he could do very well. If it's not for a hit and you have no other issues with decent bench cover then go for it.

    2. Cheeto__Bandito
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      id want early team news personally

    3. AYLD28
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Too risky now imo (Chelsea fan)

        1 year, 10 months ago

        it's his last game for chelsea right? wouldnt it mean better chance of starting?

      Kenedy could play as its a meaningless game against crap opposition

  21. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years

    KDB or Kane (C)?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Kane

      1. Indpush
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Kane

  22. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best TC captain if chasing?

    a. KdB
    b. Mount
    c. Vardy

    ?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Mount I think

    2. lugs
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      a), City will be playing at 100% commitment to get the win, the other 2 will just be having a fun Sunday kickabout in front of their fans

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah, I'm on him now. Wanted to get a few more data points, but seems the most sensible.

  23. FFFoxy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A) Alonso, Foden, Vardy
    B) Sessegnon, KDB, Toney

    1. lugs
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B for me

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    3. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    Mount or Bowen.. go!

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Bowen could be big

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

      Both have great potential. Mount if holding, Bowen if chasing

    3. snow pea in repose
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Bowen, lower ownership

    4. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Mount

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

    Do we think Maddison starts on Sunday?

    1. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      probably

  26. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    If we get early team news that Reece James starts against Watford would you captain him over Son?

    Chasing 15 points in ML and im very sure rival will cap Son

    (Other captiency options for me include Mane Toney and Mount)

    1. Eastman
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      15 points could be gained from the rest of your team unless too similar. If so maybe as you have to try something

    2. Scholes Out For Summer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      definitely, but we basically havent got any team news before deadline like ever this season so yeah

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago
