Our Player Projections available in the Members’ Area are being updated on a regular basis as the pre-season rolls on and events such as Barton’s fallout and the arrival of Sergio Aguero move the goalposts.

If you’re new to the site – these tables represent the Scout’s predicted returns for Premier League players in terms of goals, assists, clean sheets and several statistics relevant to the Fantasy Premier League game. They can be accessed in the Members Area right here.

There’s been a lot of tweaks over the past 48-hours so, to help our Members get a handle on the changes made, you can read on for a list of the recent activity. You can expect further tweaks to the Projections over the coming days and certainly following the weekend’s final bout of friendly matches.

        2 Wigan players? Good luck matey.

        I can't see Watson picking up too many big points weeks which is what you need from a mid - others e.g. Sess or O'hara might be a better shout.

        I'd probably stick Kompany above Clichy too, simply because he'll play every week and Clichy will probably fall foul to rotation with Kolarov.

        If you played them religiously every week I think Given will top that chart.

        Villa can be hit and miss but the back 4 (and particularly Dunne and Collins) have always looked solid.

        I can see Fulham being a bit more adventurous under Jol - the signing of Riise is an indication here, can see him getting forward a bit. Thusly think they'll conceed a few more than they have previously.

        Foster's playing for WBA. Nuff said.

    Given good keeper, good team if villa pull their finger out this year also nice early season draw.

    Schwarzer Good keeper decent unit

    Foster decent keeper poor def unit but could improve under roy

      The plus on a "poor defence" in front of them is that said keeper will no doubt be peppered with shots.

      If they're a decent shot stopping keeper (which I'd say all the above are) you could pick up a few points via saves even if they conceed. Of course you don't want them to be shipping 2,3,4 each match though.

      Liking Gyan. He's someone I've gone for but haven't seen him featured in too many teams on this forum.

      The rest have been commented on hundreds of times; Yaya playing deeper this season, Malouda rotation, Suarez may not start the season, Briggs being dropped etc etc etc

        thx for your feedback yaya could be a problem can change suarez out easily enough and briggs isnt a huge risk at 4m even if he does get dropped. Thoughts on having both Sess and Gyan to much Sunderland?

          Probably..... but I have both!

          I justified it to myself as I can see Sunderland hitting a few more goals this year.

          Bruce has made some really solid signings this summer in Vaughan, Larsson (who might be another good fantasy shout this year - scored decent points in a team who played pretty damn defensively), O'Shea, Brown etc.

              I think he's done well this summer. No huge dollar but good prem signings.

              Top 10 team next year.

      Liking it, only thing i would change is hart to given, use the extra 2m to upgrade hernandez to rooney(bcuz of lil peas concussion). Also Odemwingies first 3 fixtures arent the best, so maybe downgrade to Zamora or Rodallega then get him for gw4.
      ferguson and luiz rotation risks. change luiz to kompany and ferg to sumone like moses.

        I have made a few changes taking note of what you said on hernandez and odemwingie. I believe Luiz will be first team at Chelsea and he likes to get forward alot more than Kompany. I also think Van Persie over Rooney.

          This has 3 Wigan places also. A team which I think will be battling relegation again this year so may change that.

    A) Silva & Enrique (if he is at Liverpool)

    or

    B) VDV & Brambles

    Reason being.. VDV's fixtures from GW 2 to 5 look terrible, though he is class. Enrique offers good attacking potential and CS especially at home with Liverpool. City also have a pretty good schedule..

    Cheers lads
