If you haven't tried Fantasy Premier League Draft, FPL expert Mark Sutherns provides some handy tips for those about to take on a new challenge over the remaining 34 Gameweeks.

In the video above Mark explains the best strategy to execute during the draft itself, and then how best to manage your team during the campaign.

"When the draft kicks off strikers have got to be your priority," Mark says, citing Romelu Lukaku. "These guys are going to be gold during the course of the season, so make sure you get big hitters up front."

Mark goes on to explain how to use your Watchlist, what "handcuffing" goalkeepers means and why you can risk midfielders that you would steer clear of in Fantasy Premier League.

Once your league is up and running there are further tactics to employ.

"Make sure you play the market," says Mark. "You can trade with other managers, you can compete with Waivers and you can also use the free-agent market to improve your squad."
