Preview Movie – Rate My Team – Part One
Filed under: Site Features - Posted by: Mark
Following on from our Hall of Fame preview on Christmas Day, we’re now able to show you a glimpse of the full “Rate My Team” funcitionality that we’re looking to add to the Members Area for the January Wildcards.
Chris Atkinson, the creator of the Rate My Team model, again joins me for this movie, the first of two that we’ve produced to show you have Rate My Team works.
What is Rate My Team?
Rate My team is a statistical model built specifically to assess every player in the Premier League and return their expected values for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points in a given Gameweek. The system is a complex and thorough one which, of course, plots the probabilities of a player’s time on the pitch, their expected number of goals, assists, bonus points, yellow and red cards, clean sheets, own goals, goals conceded and saves. The strength of the opponent they are facing in a given Gameweek is also crucial; so every team has a attacking, defensive rating, every player a probability of playing a given match with injuries, suspensions and international absence factored in.
You can find out more about Rate My Team here, or, of course, in the movie below.
How Can It Help Me?
If you’re a member you can use the Rate My Team tool in a number of ways. Firstly, you can use it as a projections tool to predict what specific players will score, on average, over the next X number of Gameweeks. As you’ll see in the movie, you have a players table that can filtered by position or FPL cost and which can be extended to show any number of Gameweeks. You can also sort on “Value” to find those players projected to offer the best points per million return.
However, this is just one part of the functionality. Rate My Team can also analyse your existing FPL lineup, recommend captains, vice captains your bench and bench order and allow you to model your future transfers. In the second “My Team” movie, we’ll show you this functionality in full.
Rather than post your team in the comments on the main site, our members can now enter their FPL code in Rate My Team and it will immediately offer you an appraisal of your squad. In a nutshell, it should prove rather useful for the January wildcard, when so many of us look to reconstruct our sides. Using Rate my Team you can transfer players in and out of your team and get an immediate appraisal of the impact of that transfer.
When will Rate My Team be available?
We’re looking to roll out the Rate My Team tool for our members on January 1.

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Panos says:
In danger of not forming a starting 11 second week in a row is it wise to take a hit to fix my defence?
A) Defoe -> Berba, Gorkss -> Nasty (or other 5.6 def for a hit)
B) Gorkss -> Clyne/Davies (no hit and wait for the WC)

ATHLETICO TIMBO. Top 10,000 any season 2nd Wildcard league 16771-553963 says:
Not for a hit
December 27 at 5:39 pm
Omar says:
Just having a quick play around with some numbers with Goalkeepers.
Begovic is currently on an average of 4.68 ppg.
If you assume a keeper with a clean sheet gets 6 points, without gets 2 points. If you rotate a pair, you need to get 2 clean sheets every 3 games to work out with a ppg of 4.64.
I personally think (from my experience at least) finding a pair, and guessing the rotation correctly to get 2 in 3 is pretty difficult. I’m going to stick with Bego and the cheapest playing keeper I can (Bunn currently) til the end of the season and play Bego every week.

ATHLETICO TIMBO. Top 10,000 any season 2nd Wildcard league 16771-553963 says:
Ill be going with bunn and bego when I wc. Can always try and get a whu def like O brien to save cash downgrading jussi.
December 27 at 5:41 pm
Matt says:
seems sound, but can Stoke keep it up?
December 27 at 5:46 pm
Omar says:
A good question. I don’t see why not though, they’ve always been solid, it’s not like their form this season has been altogether surprising. They seem to look more solid every year they have been in the prem.
December 27 at 5:39 pm
ATHLETICO TIMBO. Top 10,000 any season 2nd Wildcard league 16771-553963 says:
Cant decide the best strategy for the Dgw/Wc. My team is decent enough so no real need to jump straight in but I’m not sure how good this Dgw is either. What’s people’s thoughts on it? Are you looking to get 6 in or wcing before or straight after it?
December 27 at 5:40 pm
rvp786 says:
wildcarding straight after. will slowly bring in dgw players now though. started already with gibbs
December 27 at 5:42 pm
ATHLETICO TIMBO. Top 10,000 any season 2nd Wildcard league 16771-553963 says:
Looked at that but isn’t that weakening the team for a weeks just for the Dgw?
December 27 at 5:43 pm
NapalmDeath says:
Arsenal and WHU have pretty decent fixtures in the run up to the DWG, so no, not really
December 27 at 5:40 pm
ZidaneSmith__SpartakMac says:
Not sure who to bench in my defence and midfield, will be playing all 3 forwards.
Pick out of those in brackets.
Bego, Jaask
Sagna, Enrique, (Cuellar), (Reid,) (Caulker)
Santi, Silva, Michu, (Yaya) , (Puncheon)
RVP, Defoe, Berbs.
Comments appreciated.

Go for it.
December 27 at 5:41 pm
Omar says:
I heard he wasn’t that good yesterday. Is it inconceivable that RVP/Welbeck start? Or even just RVP up top and a more packed midfield to stop shipping goals?
December 27 at 5:50 pm

Already done.
December 27 at 5:40 pm
"The Special One" says:
Bunn, Begovic
Nastasic, Cuellar, B.Davis, B.Jones, Clyne
Cazorla, Sess, Michu, Mata, Noble
RVP, Tevez, Ba
2 frees 0.7m, thoughts??
December 27 at 5:47 pm
Stern John Terry Wilson Palacios says:
Tevez -> Torres/Berba?
December 27 at 5:41 pm
Stern John Terry Wilson Palacios says:
Federici (WHU) or Mignolet (TOT) this week? Atm I’m set to play Fed, given Bale’s form, and WHU’s current lack of firepower.
December 27 at 5:41 pm
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter says:
Tonight’s price change projections:
Risers: Mata, Bale, Gibbs, Evra, Davies, Ivanovic, Walters, Snodgrass (50/50)
Fallers: Tevez, Giroud, Crouch, Fellaini, Yaya +others
December 27 at 5:41 pm
Captain Shirokov says:
God dammit Tevez!
December 27 at 5:44 pm
Stern John Terry Wilson Palacios says:
Bale’s second in two days?
December 27 at 5:44 pm
Stern John Terry Wilson Palacios says:
Reply fail… kind of…
December 27 at 5:49 pm
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter says:
Close enough 8)
Bale is going up like a rocket
December 27 at 5:41 pm
Captain Shirokov says:
Now, my next problem.
Silva & Tevez. I’m happy enough to keep one of them but two seems too much imo. What to do with them?
(Already used my FT and don’t really want to take a hit)
December 27 at 5:42 pm
Stern John Terry Wilson Palacios says:
I’d shift Silva -> Mata/Cazorla/Walcott, though probably next week.
December 27 at 5:42 pm
Ginkapo-Rule No.1: wwkd? says:
Personally I prefer Tevez, and count neither as captainable. (Tevez dues to his rotation woes)
No point getting rid of either for a hit.
December 27 at 5:42 pm
rvp786 says:
hmm not sure any thing is worth a hit. do u have bale?
December 27 at 5:43 pm
Captain Shirokov says:
Yep.
December 27 at 5:43 pm
rvp786 says:
hmm are u worried tevez might be rested againt norwich?? him or ageuro are due one
December 27 at 5:44 pm
boredjames says:
You need Chelsea coverage. Tevez to Torres.
December 27 at 5:46 pm
Captain Shirokov says:
I don’t believe in ”coverage” and if I was to get some of Chelsea’s attack, I’d get Mata. (Which I will in the WC)
December 27 at 5:52 pm
boredjames says:
Fair enough, but Chelsea are look like they have a lot of goals in them.
Torres will start all games and is showing some form. If you really want shot of Tevez then he is the outstanding replacement candidate (imo)
December 27 at 6:00 pm
Wings of Steel says:
Im sorry torres is not on form. Ive said it once and ill say it again. Look at the teams hes played on his run and how his overall involvement in the team. Doesn’t fill me with confidence. And that miss a couple of games ago…jeeeeesh
December 27 at 6:04 pm
boredjames says:
I am not saying he is anywhere near the player he was at Liverpool. But he is Chelsea’s only striker at the moment and it’s obvious Benitez has been recruited to make him a success. He will play, and with the players behind him will score goals.
And that header…. wow.
December 27 at 5:42 pm
The Parmtree- A true Berbist!!! says:
Do Silva to Cazorla/Walcott next week ahead of the DGW?
December 27 at 5:45 pm
Captain Shirokov says:
That’s the plan. I can’t stand Tevez though. First, there’s the issue of whether he’ll start or not (which looks unlikely for this weekend). Then, there’s the problem of City’s attack faltering.
But I just don’t see any other viable options in the 8-9.5 bracket.
December 27 at 5:44 pm
ZidaneSmith__SpartakMac says:
Silva > Santi/Theo
December 27 at 5:54 pm
deejay10 says:
Hold and sell Tevez next week ?
December 27 at 6:01 pm
NickyKids says:
Silva next week to Caz for me
Worth keeping hold of Tev for a bit. In time both of them will go and wait on City clicking…
December 27 at 5:41 pm
The Parmtree- A true Berbist!!! says:
My Mignolet/Jussi rotation so far has scored me 86, so an average of 4.5 per GW, better than I had expected.
For the January WC(GW24) i’m possibly looking at a Jussi/Guzan rotation given the H/A rotation, value and fixtures on offer.
NEW, SWA, WHM, TOT/ars, sto/MCI, rdg, QPR, WBA, liv/sto, FUL, WIG, SUN, NEW, CHE, RDG.
A few crappy GW’s but it’s good enough for me
December 27 at 5:43 pm
Stern John Terry Wilson Palacios says:
Minge/Fed doesn’t tempt you?
December 27 at 5:46 pm
The Parmtree- A true Berbist!!! says:
It does, will put it on my list
December 27 at 5:44 pm
Now back to me says:
Begovic.
December 27 at 5:44 pm
The Parmtree- A true Berbist!!! says:
Yeah
December 27 at 5:44 pm
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter says:
Cheap, but if it involves the Villa, maybe too cheap?
I think their wingback formation has been found out. No one this year who’s played three at the back has worked out well defensively.
December 27 at 5:45 pm
The Parmtree- A true Berbist!!! says:
I don’t think it’ll carry on, If they get smashed once more Lambert will probably switch tactics.
December 27 at 5:49 pm
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter says:
Yeah he’s gotta I suppose, but I’d rather stay out of the uncertainty – I’ve got to hold on to Bego. Sticking with Bego/Foster feels a little too expensive. Bego/Ruddy rotation, wonder how that looks…
December 27 at 5:47 pm
colonel shoe says:
bego jussi, should have been amazin but i always pick the wrong one
December 27 at 5:51 pm
JKisthe1 - A Founder of Berbism says:
I’d keep Migs mate, 7 CS this season, Bego has 9.
Fed covers all of Migs’ tough fixtures bar GW31

I need help with my transfer…..
Beco Jusi
Enrique Culler Nelsen Davis Clyne
Mata Caz Michu Silva Snodgrass
RVP Suarez Defoe
I have 2 FT and 0.2m in the bank but unsure what to do…..
Whould like to do at least 1 change….
Please give me your ideas…….
December 27 at 5:46 pm
ZidaneSmith__SpartakMac says:
Enrique > Gibbs possibly.
December 27 at 5:43 pm
Andy1 says:
Which is more urgent
A. Tevez –> Defoe ( already have bale)
B. long –> ruiz
The rest of my team is
Begovic tremmel
Sagna Enrique cuellar Cameron clyne
Bale mata yaya michu noble
Rvp

December 27 at 5:45 pm
Ginkapo-Rule No.1: wwkd? says:
Big Sam likes defencive subs. Doesnt want a tired defender losing concentration at the crucial moment. Demel usually gets subbed.
But I have no idea as to your actual question

Thank you mate!

Who do people think is best defender at 4.6 or lower to get in for Shorey?
December 27 at 5:45 pm

davies, cuellar
December 27 at 5:47 pm
Captain Shirokov says:
Davies fo sho.

Santiagounreal - Have yourselves a merry little Santi ;) says:
No, Reading at home is going to be a massacre
December 27 at 5:52 pm
AK- Ain't Got A Kalou says:
Reading have looked better in the last 2 GWs, though I expect Spurs to run riot still.
December 27 at 5:53 pm
Santiagounreal - Have yourselves a merry little Santi ;) says:
Yeah true, I’m just saying the potential for a massacre is there and if you’re going to own both that kind of fixture is perfect for it. Defoe scored 2 and Bale scored 1 in the away fixture.
December 27 at 5:49 pm
Kerrazy says:
yes. Bale is enough. use the striker spot for someone else.
December 27 at 5:47 pm

any help with this team for gw 20??
December 27 at 5:48 pm
Evs says:
Sneak preview of my dgw team…
Bego
Muthersucker, Demel, Enrique
Cazorla, bale, Walcott, Michu, Nolan
RVP, Suarez
Subs. Clark, cuellar and any forward under 5.3m
No hits required, jan wc clear out second the sites back up
December 27 at 5:49 pm
AK- Ain't Got A Kalou says:
Congrats with that rank Evs.
Looks good. Really good in fact. Though you’re going to WC in GW24 right?
December 27 at 5:53 pm
Evs says:
Yep, last week. Clear out unwanted dgw players.
Seems like the majority are doing it here.
December 27 at 5:56 pm
AK- Ain't Got A Kalou says:
I’m in the same boat. Though I’m not going more than 3 myself.
December 27 at 5:58 pm
Evs says:
Which 3 AK ?
December 27 at 5:49 pm
rvp786 says:
carlton cole would be a good bet
December 27 at 5:51 pm
Binij says:
Carlton Cole could be ur last forward then you’ve got all 6 spots
December 27 at 5:53 pm
Evs says:
Can’t, got bloody Henderson as my sub gk. gutted when it stopped me.
December 27 at 5:56 pm
Binij says:
ouch that seems like such a waste
December 27 at 5:57 pm
Evs says:
Hasn’t hurt until now as I play Begovic each game, and had foster prior to him.
Rotation is overrated.
December 27 at 6:03 pm
Binij says:
yeh long term that could be the way to go, i should know i’ve been trolled a few times with the Bego/Foster combo…..but it just seems like a waste of a dgw slot, but obviously long term is more important
December 27 at 6:05 pm
NickyKids says:
Looks a good plan
I like that midfield – might be able to squeeze in Walcott and Nolan. I’m deffos swapping Silva for Caz next week
December 27 at 5:48 pm
AK- Ain't Got A Kalou says:
Do we think that Aguero will start against nor?
December 27 at 5:49 pm
rvp786 says:
50 50
December 27 at 5:49 pm
Sleep Talk says:
When creating a members table, is there a criteria to only show the players who has played three out of the last four matches?
December 27 at 5:50 pm
Sleep Talk says:
Ah, Appearances.. Got it.
December 27 at 5:51 pm
Sleep Talk says:
No wait, they all have 4 appearances in their last four matches. Doh!
December 27 at 5:49 pm
NapalmDeath says:
Asked this a few times today, but I’d love to get a few more opinions.
A) Keep Silva (nor) and save FT
B) Silva > Walcott (NEW) and free up cash for Shorey > Sagna next GW
C) Find 0.1m this GW and Silva > Cazorla next GW
D) Silva > Cazorla this GW for a -4 hit
Many thanks
December 27 at 5:53 pm
Liastro_3109 says:
B
December 27 at 6:08 pm

I like C.
Silva is proven class, I think he will come up with something against Norwich
December 27 at 5:49 pm
wimiw says:
defoe or berbs?
December 27 at 5:51 pm
Sweet Carroll Nine says:
Defoe IMO
December 27 at 5:53 pm
King Nemanja says:
Berbs
December 27 at 5:50 pm

isacki - losing makes winning sweeter says:
#toomuchflair
In fairness I was considering him madly for this GW, but I got a distinct sense I had missed his narrow window if pointage and his fixture this week put me off. No reason he couldn’t score big this week though within fellaini.
I did sneak a look at Osman… that would’ve paid off…
December 27 at 5:56 pm
Ginkapo-Rule No.1: wwkd? says:
Yeah I forgot to look at his fixtures. Fatal flaw.

Tony Hibberts Love Child says:
Hi posted earlier got as reply from the very helpful Evs.
He reckon my double chelsea should be ditched perhaps in favour of Cazorla.
Team is linked had a good week but aint happy with a few namely Tevez should never have got rid of Suarez.
At present i have no float of spare money which i like to trade without multiple switches.
For this week does Hazard > Cazorla look the move in light of possible no Michu would mean having to field Sterling the thought makes me feel violently sick.
December 27 at 5:52 pm
AK- Ain't Got A Kalou says:
Cazorla looks good, though I’d have got Walcott in.

Tony Hibberts Love Child says:
See this is my beef Walcott gives me extra spare cash money which I like and ok had Cazorla for 23pt wk but had him at other times he did f all and frankly i thought he played too deep assisting the assister. But of course there is rotation but we Alien vs Predator going to the ACON myb less risk?
And yes that is the beautiful Catherine. Jenkins
December 27 at 5:58 pm

She looks different but what a lady

Out of those Ruiz. That’s the one im 75% sure I’m going with to fund Pienaar >> Cazorla.
