In case you missed it earlier, Mark Sutherns joined Andy North for another pre-deadline chat about all things Gameweek 2.

Erling Haaland (£11.6m) predictably dominates discussion – has Mark made a move for the Norwegian after going without him on the opening weekend?

The four-time top 1k finisher also discusses Gameweek 1 variance after his two Tottenham Hotspur assets somehow failed to score in a 4-1 win over Southampton.

As well as revealing their Gameweek 2 teams and transfers, Mark and Andy also answer some questions from those tuning into the stream live.

    Fellow Mount owners.. are you keeping or selling?

    Tempted to transfer out for Mahrez or foden for a one week punt.

    1. dshv
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping and maybe will use 2ft next week to do some change

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping

    3. yeahbuddy
      • 14 Years

      Keeping

    4. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I'm keeping. He's got a good run of fixtures after this week.

    5. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping. Used free transfer to bring in Haaland.

      I do like the idea of the Foden / Mahrez punt

    6. Over Midwicket
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sold for Martinelli. Need the cash and Marty looks like the best value mid in the game.

    7. zdrojo187
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Keep...He may be on penalties

    8. Chris_l25
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Keeping for now. Really good run of fixtures after this week

    Teams so template. Only Trossard matters.

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      True. If template fires today, it will be so boring. Not many permutations tbh

      1. Christina.
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        whats the template?

        1. the german
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          What do you have?

        2. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 3 months ago

            I'm new here but I think it's a team that lots of people have selected

            1. Christina.
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              🙄

          • Puntillimon
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Trent cancelo Salah haaland Jesus martinelli andreas soon to be Darwin

            1. Christina.
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Darwin 25%
              Martinelli 27% owned

              Similar but still low compared to Jesus

              1. Christina.
                • 15 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                The combinations also matter. Very few that own TAA/Mo will have Darwin

                1. the german
                  • 11 Years
                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  Yes I think Darwin and Kane will be most responsible for ranks this weekend.

          • SADIO SANÉ
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            your WC team is my idea of the template, maybe Saka over Kulu though depending on what happens this weekend - if that team performs well this week most people will have at least 8/9 of them by GW3

            1. the german
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              And if you are playing for long term, you cannot not have the template team, especially this early of the season.

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Trossard is a good pick.

        Have you got Kulusevski, he's my differential.

        I guess Kane would be a good rank rise too.

        If Spurs beat Chelsea at the Bridge that's a real statement of intent from Conte.

        1. the german
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Mendy
          TAA Walker Cancelo Gabriel
          Salah Martinelli Trossard Diaz
          Haaland (C) Jesus

          This is my team and only Trossard and Diaz might be responsible for rank changes if any. Most people did Kane to Haaland this week.

        All about Bamford and hoping Arsenal don’t fire

    2. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Bench 1
      A Dalot
      B Bailey

      1. dshv
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        A

        1. zdrojo187
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          A

      2. out for a goalkick
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        If you’re not playing Bailey at home to Everton what’s the point in owning him?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          People who got him for the GW1 squad were expecting more from Villa.

            • 13 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            It’s 1 game of data - and now they play Everton at home - Everton who were absolutely awful away last year - roll the dice.

    3. Eze Really?

      Can someone tell me whu Pope is trending?

      1. Stamford B

        Rumours he’s not playing

          1. Stamford B
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            No idea why he’s trending or if the source is reliable but this what I saw

            1. Stamford B

              See the team news here. It seems there’s been some hilarious Tom foolery from the geordies

        1. Andy_Social
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          So he's out because he gorged himself on burgers?! 😆

    4. tbos83
      • 5 Years

      Will heat impact Haaland today?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Of course

        • Miguel Sanchez
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Yes but could equally impact Bournemouth defenders chasing around all day without the ball

        • Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          It will impact everyone

        • out for a goalkick
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Probably - heat rises after all

      2. Eze Really?
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Projected winners and losers.
        A 1 1 draw at Chelsea will hurt many.
        Villa could bottle it.
        Pool could let in a goal.
        A Haaland fail.
        United could beat Brentford.

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Was with you until the last one

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              I threw it in for all United sheep who want rid of Sanchez, Dalot, Rashford and Ron gets a brace.

          • Christina.
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Jesus blank would be massive

            1. Eze Really?
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              True. transfers out will rival Kane. Darwin swap but will cost 2 transfers.
              All set for an epic fail for the template.

          • Davido989
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Jesus blank with a Nunez goal would make things interesting

            1. out for a goalkick
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Jesus blank with a Kane double makes things spicy….

                • 14 Years

                That went well ...

        2. stokkies
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Have Haaland and did get 69 points but I wanted to try something different and hit that gw 2 wildcard for a three-striker formation due to all the decent striking options this season and to spice it up.

          Sanchez
          TAA-Walker-Cancelo-James
          Salah-Martinelli-Aaronson
          Jesus-Darwin-Haaland

          Subs: Ward, Patterson, Andreas.

          Is anyone seeing any fun transfers while still on the wildcard? Think I can use Andreas or Patterson for Aaronson next week and still want to see how Arsenal line up now that Tierney is fit and Tomiyasu is not injured.

          1. SADIO SANÉ
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            you've probably picked the least 'spicy' team possible, bar Aaronson & Darwin it looks like someone else's boring GW1 high ownership team and also looks like every other GW2 WC team - that being said, it's probably a very good team

            1. The Legend Squad
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

            69 points and on a WC - didn’t anyone tell you that patience is a virtue?!

        3. Maradona
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Have the Leicester GK double and £0.5m to spend. Iverson to Sanchez or roll the FT?

          1. Davido989

            Trippier. Better team and more routes to points.

        6. Davido989

          Start Perisic or Andreas Pereira?

          Hi guys. I’m kinda new to this whole thing. I don’t want to be one of those annoying people that asks “what should I do with my team?”. But I would like some advice!

          Team after Game-week 1 is:

          Ramsdale (Steele)
          TAA-James-Cancelo (Trippier-Williams)
          Bailey-Kulusevski-Salah-Trossard (Andreas)
          Jesus-Vardy-Mbuemo

          I’d love to bring Haaland in but don’t think I can unless I get the -4. I don’t really want to do that. It gives me anxiety!!

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Just stick then mate, can always get Haaland next week

                • 11 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Captain Salah instead and could even be a differential!

            • Davido989
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Your best route is Vardy and Kulu

                Ha ha I’ve been lurking mate. Just never took it too seriously. But now I’m hooked.

            • Over Midwicket
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Get in Haaland for a -4 and captain him. Get rid of Vardy and downgrade another player to afford.

              You need to do it - every GW you don't own him will hurt you

              • 13 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              I suppose it comes down to how scared you are that Haaland hauls against Bournemouth and whether he outscores what you have by more than the 4 point hit. Haaland will be the most captained player this week - therefore if you don’t have him and he hauls - you’ll likely be going down in rank - a Salah haul and a blank from Haaland would be huge for you though…

              Is Cucu going to start - FPL Andy has admitted it was a mistake getting him in.
              I'd get Darwin in when we know he is going to start games.
              Ward - not many cs. Who is your other gk?

                  ...Jesus vs James is my issue.
                  Managed to get away wk 1 when Jesus blanked. Next couple of fixtures looks nice for Jesus, but I dont rate him.
                  Cucu I think will play sooner rather than later.
                  James...how long will he stay fit?

                    It will be interesting to see how darwin will do from the start and not come on when everyone is knackered. Jury still out on him atm.

            Please help - On wildcard:

            A- KDB - Luis Diaz - Saliba

            B- Salah - Cancelo - Reed

            Who scores more season long?

              Probably A - I'm keeping a close eye on Salah (I have at the moment) I don't think he is going to be the monster hauler he always has been this season. KDB is who I will probably trade him for (as opposed to Son)

              It doesn’t matter who scores more season long - only who scores more before the World Cup - as there’s unlimited transfers again to reset teams.

              Going without Salah when not all is known about the Darwin situation seems risky at the minute. I’d rather have Haaland than KDB - in which case I’m not doubling up on City premiums - Son or Salah are the obvious alternatives.

              if capping, or bringing in two different starters, it really is; basically -2 per player

              Depends on the context:

              -4 to sub out an injured or suspended player is fine, as it’s only a 2 point hit (assuming they play 60 minutes) with the upside of further points - but ideally your bench should be able to cover this.

              -4 for a captain option is fine if you think they’ll gain that back.

              -4 in any other case is surely dependant on fixtures etc - but I would normally steer clear.

                -4 for a double game week player can also work!

            Currently have Cancelo, Walker, Mahrez from MC. Any thoughts what to do with Mahrez?

            A) roll FT
            B) switch to Foden
            C) bench him for Bailey

              Given those 3 I’d hold and start (and cross my fingers!).

              Don’t chase the points in that city midfield (unless it’s KDB) as the starters almost always change!

              This is how I envision City will line up this week: Bernardo in for Gundogan and no other changes.

              In the off chance there is other rotation, it’ll be either Grealish or Ake losing their place to Mahrez or Stones, but I think this is quite unlikely at this stage. https://t.co/eWlmHAcdzE

              FPL fixing the prices again as and when it suits. Haaland was well over the threshold for a rise last night and shoud be 11.2 now but FPL still have him at 11.1.

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                  3 years, 3 months ago

                  The threshold is from a third party website which is doing a best guess based on info they have so it's not always 100% accurate

                    The website has been proved to be accurate and even allowing for a slight inaccuracy, Haaland was well over the threshold so should have gone up. FPL have also been known to fix prices as and when it suits before. They did it several times last season. Players blanking 3 games in a row but still mysteriously getting price rises.

                      You’re over thinking it. Price change algorithms are always less reliable when the players price has already changed that week. It’s been that way for as long as I can remember.

                Hi guys
                For draft league, who would you pick out of these 3:
                1) Martial (injured, limited game time if Ronaldo stays ..)
                2) Jimenez (injured )
                3) Che Adams ( possible transfer to Everton) ?

                  Shorttermitis. He hasn't suddenly become a bad player - they're trying to be too clever.

                    Lol I'll probably swap White for him if he drops to 4.4.

                      He was about to rise to 4.6 when the og occurred. Won't drop, but hopefully won't rise either.

                      If you're going to keep an Arsenal defender for the first 7 weeks or so just keep him - don't waste an unnecessary transfer on him. I'm sure that you will have bigger fish to fry. Good luck.

                  Same reason as they're flocking to DaSilva - one fluke goal that won't happen again.
