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.

    Dubravka
    Robbo Cancelo James Schar
    Son(c) Maddison Mount Zaha
    Kane Toney

    Ramsdale Mykolenko Coutinho Broja

    0.2 ITB, no FT

    Suggested changes? Anything worth a -4? Maybe bring in Sessegnon for example

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

      looks like Schar is doubtful? Coutinho to Barnes? Myko to Jansson?

  2. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How does this look?

    Sanchez
    Cancelo TAA Alonso Mykolenko
    KDB Son(C) Mount Saka
    Toney Richalison

    Pickford Ramsey Broja Schar

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

      Good enough for green I think

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Hopefully

    2. Boberella
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Should be good enough. Bench not great though which ain’t good for rotation (Trent, Alonso, Richarlison, etc)

    I think I'm going with Rudiger after reading this... Nice read!

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

      Great pick this week.

  4. Boberella
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    22 points off top 1k OR

    Is this good enough to get there?

    Schmeichel (Foster)
    TAA Cancelo Alonso Matip (Collins)
    Son KDB Mount Bowen (KDH)
    Vardy Nketiah (Pukki)

    That would be team after doing:
    Salah + Dennis to Bowen + Vardy (-4)

    Who to Cap? Son safe, but to catch maybe need to go differential. I’ve buggered cap choice up last 2 weeks.

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

      Vardy, Mount, Trent are decent alternatives

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

        Yeah, Mount is tempting after his rest this week. Vardy is always a fun cap pick.

  5. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Allison
    Robertson / Cancelo / Schar
    Mane (c) / Son / KDB / Saka / Zaha
    Toney / Nketiah

    Sanchez / KWP / Holgate / 4.4

    GTG? Not sure on Schar, could switch to Sess if I think he’s out.

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

      Schar to Sess for free? No brainer if so. Even for a hit could be worth it if Schar not fit

      1. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Would be for a hit. May still go for it

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

          Can’t see KWP or Holgate getting much so prob worth it

  6. Sarri-ball
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Last day punt.

    Mcneil to Foden or ricarlison to vardy.

    McNeil/Vardy v Foden/ric basically

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

      McNeil + Vardy
      Richarlison on beach now, and no guarantee Foden starts.
      McNeil still playing for safety.

      1. Sarri-ball
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah way edging 2 be honest. I think foden does start but why risk.

        If said diaz woukd you change from mcneil/Vardy

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

      Vardy, before he goes into aged care.

  7. Tambling5
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How's this for free hit?
    Raya,
    Cancelo, Matip, Sessegnon
    KDB, Mane Foden Son Mount
    Vardy Toney
    Subs. Tsimikas Amartey fodder leaves nothing itb. Mane for Captain.

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

      Leeds will score against Brentford so not sure about Raya on FH.
      Foden could be benched, but otherwise good.
      Personally I would go Bowen/Madds instead of Foden and upgrade Raya to Loris perhaps.

      1. Tambling5
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thanks for that. Will ponder on!

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

    A. Mount & Vardy
    Or
    B. Barnes & Kane

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

      A for me

      1. BlueMan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Ta.

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

      1. BlueMan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years

        Ta.

  9. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Chasing 17pts. Rich to Vardy and captain?
    Noone has him.

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

      Yep, don’t see why not.

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      absolutely

  10. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which team is getting Divock Origi's services next season?

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

      He’ll be great with regular starts.

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I believe so.

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

      Milan I think

    3. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      milano

  11. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    players in pick two :
    a. Barnes
    b. Diaz
    c. Mount
    d. Kulu
    c. Bowen

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

      BC

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

      B.C.

  12. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Repost for a new crowd

    How will you use the last FT of the season on this XI? 0.0 itb

    Schmeichel
    Matip Robbo Laporte Cancelo
    Kulu Saka Havertz Mount Foden
    Kane

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

      save and improve the rank

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Having slight suspicions that Havertz may not start. Any replacements who could outscore him?

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

          Barnes I guess or Wissa/Eriksen

          1. Philosopher's Stones
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Good shouts. What about Bowen?

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

              Good pick. That game can also be high scoring.

              1. Philosopher's Stones
                • 3 Years
                1 year, 10 months ago

                Pretty certain he starts, right?

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

                  yeah, no need for a rest this week.

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

    What do you prefer?

    A. Havertz
    B. Diaz (-4)
    C. Maddison (-4)
    D. Toney (-4)

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

      A

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

        Thanks. You think he will start?

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

          Not sure but getting rid before Watford is something I wouldnt do.

          Diaz is a fine pick if you are not sure of Havertz.

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

      A.

    3. KANTEnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I like B & C

  14. aleksios
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Would you do any of these for a hit?

    a) Ings to Toney
    b) Kulu to Mount.

    Current team:

    -Dubravka
    --Robbo--Cancelo--Laporte--Alonso
    --Son--Saka--Madds--Kulu
    --Weghorst--Vardy.

    --Sa--Gordon--Mings--Ings.

    Thanks.

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Which defender to drop:

    A) Robertson
    B) Matip
    C) Cancelo
    D) James
    E) Alonso

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

      B.

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      yep B

    3. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Play all 5 if you can, or else B

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

      B

  16. Cojones of Destiny
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    in isolation
    a. Cash to James -4
    b. Ings to Toney -4
    c. no hit play cash/ings (who?)

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B but Ings is likely the guy to score if Villa are pissing on a Manchester City parade.

  17. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is there a chance we get Team news before deadline?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yep.

      Is there a chance the FPL website crashes if it's Salah benched?

      Yes.

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

      always chance for some rumours

  18. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Final midfield slot would you go for

    Diaz
    Jota
    Foden
    Maddison
    Zaha

    Cheers. If a Liverpool player will need to shift Allison for another keeper.

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

      Diaz

    2. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Madds then Diaz

    3. JohannaAdams10
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Maddison

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

      Madders

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cheers guys.

        If i switch Allison out for Dubravka i can afford to get Rudiger back and upgrade the 3rd striker on the bench for final day rotation surprises.

    5. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      If it wasn't for the rumours of not starting definitely Madders. But Diaz is next.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah, on a FH why risk Thursday to Sunday players.

        Unless i get good news that Maddison starts as I'm sure he's able to play Thursday evening and Sunday afternoon.

        1. De Gea is GOAT
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I also think he should start but i've got this weird feeling Rogers will rotate a lot :/

  19. oi no professionals
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which one as my last transfer of the season, already own Son, Foden and Mount (no Maddison):

    A. Saka > KDB
    B. Richarlison > Kane

    1. KANTEnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

  20. JohannaAdams10
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who gets more points this week:

    A) Matip
    B) Saka

    1. KANTEnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

  21. KANTEnders
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    1 FT, 0.0 ITB

    Schmeichel
    TAA,James,Robbo,Laporte,Cancelo
    Mount,Son,Zaha,Coutinho
    Kane

    Bench : Steele,Nketiah,Gordon,Fodder

    Would you do :
    1) Coutinho to Maddison for free
    2) coutinho & Laporte > sessegnon & Diaz/Jota (-4)
    3) Coutinho & James > sessegnon & Diaz/Jota (-4)
    4) others

    A) play Nketiah in 4-4-2
    B) play Laporte/Sess in 5-4-1

    Cheers all

    1. JohannaAdams10
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      1 B

  22. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Final playing defender:

    a) Zinchenko and Gelhardt on the bench.

    b) Guéhi with Ashley Barnes on the bench?

    Thanks guys

  23. KANTEnders
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    B. More chances of a cleanie.

  24. Davew88
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Bench Richarlison or Nketiah?

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

      Richbeachason

  25. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Really not sure if I should go for a -8 moves would be:

    Salah > Mane
    Mahrez > Maddison
    Cash > James or Seeignon

    Cash > James would mean benching Saka, do it or not?

    Thanks

  26. Holmes
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    with majority of the spots now locked, these are the last 2 spots I'm least sure of:

    A) Mane, Dalot (no bench)
    B) Maddison, Toney (some bench)
    C) Vardy, Matip (some bench)

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

      But Mane may trump the bench?

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

        He can, thats why I'm trying to fit him in.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          I'd be inclined to get Mane.

          I'm looking at it too but stacked on the other premium midfielders.

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

            going with Kevin?

    3. De Gea is GOAT
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      C looks very tempting tbh. Vardy loves versing Saints. B is definitely the best option if Madders starts.

  27. Athletico Underachieving
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Coutinho & Weg - Toney and Diaz -4?

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

      Yes

  28. De Gea is GOAT
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Diaz and Pukki OR Madders and Toney?

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

      MT

  29. Bubbles1985
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I'm 29 points clear in 1 ML and 195 in another. Sitting at 108k OR.

    Almost seems pointless taking a hit this week, gutted really!

    How would this -8 look?

    Zaha, Sterling, Richarlison - Out
    Bowen, Diaz, Vardy - In

    No Citeh attacking cover!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Go for it. It's a bit like a BB week, the final gw to get 11 players out there.

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Just unsure on Vardy as Leicester have nothing to play for.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Keep Richarlison but Everton were poor on the road and might have been on a bender since Thursday?!

          1. Bubbles1985
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            True.

            Maybe Jesus instead?

    Thoughts on what to do this week?
    1 FT

    Ramsdale
    James Robertson Alonso Cancelo
    Son Saka Havertz Barnes
