Mark Sutherns’ FPL Gameweek 4 preview and latest team plans

Fantasy Football Scout founder Mark Sutherns is back ahead of Gameweek 4 to offer his latest musings and reveal his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) line-up over on our YouTube channel.

This video is an exclusive for Premium Members – and there’ll be plenty more to come in 2021/22.

Mark will be filming one video just for subscribers every week throughout the upcoming campaign, so sign up via this link in order to see them.

In this latest episode, the FPL BlackBox co-host is joined, as always, by Andy North.

Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m) is, inevitably, the big talking point although with Andy’s Wildcard in play, there’s plenty more to cover.

Mark offers a review of Andy’s re-work, though he’s reluctant to offer any form of persuasion when it comes to the one final dilemma remaining: whether to opt for Ronaldo or Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m).

Find out why Mark has his own agenda on that matter and which way Andy is leaning by taking in this latest video offering for members.

    On a wildcard. Thoughts would be great

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Duffy
    Salah, Jota, Torres, Sarr
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Dennis

    Bench; Steer, Livramento, Amartey, Raphinha

      Amartey may have lost his spot, I’d look elsewhere.

      Downgrade Dennis, upgrade Raphina to Greenwood
      Bachmann is surely superior to Sanchez with those fixtures and save points?

    It's one of those weeks where you sell Bruno and he hauls, or you don't get Ronaldo and then Ronaldo hauls. Tomorrow is going to be rough for some of us.

            I'm seriously debating it too, but not until after Salah has played Palace at Anfield. And it also depends on how Bruno and Ronaldo fare.

        I agree that Salah could do well against Leeds, but it's so unlikely that there won't be United goals against Newcastle at Old Trafford. Who will score them is another matter altogether.

    No clarity on Raphinha, am I right?

    Having both Wilson and Raphinha is painful. Could go Jimenez, but then he's not 100% either. Gah.
