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.

Chris_Oblivion says:
I do believe I’m ready for the next GW
Begovic
Vertonghen Sagna Demel
Mata Yaya Michu Bale
Suarez(C) Ba Tevez(VC)
Subs: Schwarzer, Sterling, Cuellar, Shawcross.
December 27 at 5:54 pm
King Nemanja says:
Looks good
December 27 at 5:55 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo - "Corner the market, then raise the price. Simple economics" (Heisenberg, 2009) says:
Nice team. You need RVP though.
December 27 at 6:15 pm
Mason says:
Need is a strong word in fantasy football, but in the case of RVP, it is so. No sympathy for non-RVP owners, it’s just common sense.
December 27 at 5:54 pm
King Nemanja says:
Attempted to ask this earlier but mixed up my players, so I’ll ask again if ye do not mind. Which combo do ye think looks better?
A) Cazorla, Sagna, Demel
B) Walcott, Gibbs, O Brien
December 27 at 5:54 pm
Sweet Carroll Nine says:
A)
December 27 at 5:55 pm
Mike - 'Triffic says:
Walcott, Sagna, O’Brien
December 27 at 5:55 pm
Hamburglar says:
B. Especially if Walcott stays healthy and plays as a forward. Gibbs and O’Brien seem more attacking as well.
December 27 at 5:54 pm
Sweet Carroll Nine says:
Is this hit worth it?
Aguero, Sessegnon + Michu –> Hernandez, Bale + Cazorla/Mata (-4)
I bought Michu for 7.6mil, I have no Tottenham, Chelsea and Arsenal coverage and I also own Silva and RVP, thoughts?
December 27 at 5:55 pm
King Nemanja says:
Id keep Michu, unless he’s out for a few weeks
December 27 at 5:55 pm
Sweet Carroll Nine says:
I will probably do Sess + Aguero -> Bale + Hernandez then make a last minute decision on whether to take the hit or not!
December 27 at 5:57 pm
King Nemanja says:
Those moves look good, yes
December 27 at 5:54 pm
Tozier says:
Would you rather have Cazorla or Walcott in your team, assuming you can afford either? It seems an obvious question on the surface but considering Walcott’s price and differential factor, does he make a case for himself?
December 27 at 6:12 pm
Pilko's Pump Pants says:
For the right 1-2 Games – Walcott – over a season (as is my plan) – Santi…
December 27 at 5:55 pm
AK- Ain't Got A Kalou says:
Isacki, you’ve looked into City’s rotation before, do you think Aguero will start this week againts norwich?
December 27 at 6:07 pm
Pratik says:
It’s a 50-50. One of Aguero & Tevez will certainly be dropped with Dzeko starting. Neither are on great form.
I realize your problem is that you don’t like the alternatives much either. I had suggest Aguero->Berba, and mind you I’m not even a Berba fan.
Use this money to upgrade the midfield.
December 27 at 6:15 pm
NickyKids says:
I’m a Tevez owner and I think it will probably be Aguero and Dzeko this week
December 27 at 5:55 pm
Snikii says:
Rvp,Bale,Suarez or Walcott do you guys think should get the (C)?
December 27 at 5:56 pm
Mike - 'Triffic says:
MVP RVP
December 27 at 5:58 pm
King Nemanja says:
RVP
December 27 at 6:03 pm
King Eric - I don't know ... And neither do you. says:
RVP
This question is quickly becoming similar to “Should I field 10 players or 11?”
December 27 at 6:11 pm
Snikii says:
I just want people to convince me to get in line… Last week i did defoe instaed of RVP and almost felt good about it. This week i really want to do Walcott, but probably gonna end up doing Rvp instead
December 27 at 5:55 pm
The Duke says:
Corzola > Bale for a couple of weeks?
December 27 at 5:57 pm
SCOTT. BoxingDayBale. says:
yes
December 27 at 5:58 pm
ff addict says:
Can you not get both into your team
December 27 at 6:00 pm
The Duke says:
Mids are Michu, Mata, Corzola, Yaya, Pincheon
Without shuffling and downgrading defence, I couldn’t get both in unfortunately.
December 27 at 6:06 pm
ff addict says:
Get rid of yaya he is going to acon soon anyway unless you want Fellini. Id go bale over caz
December 27 at 6:15 pm
Mason says:
Bale always. He is explosive and you have to keep faith.
December 27 at 6:17 pm
Mason says:
As is Cazorla it seems, so your choice.
December 27 at 6:26 pm
The Duke says:
Cheers guys, Yaya will be swapped for Fellani soon enough.
I think I’ll try Caz to Bale before the price rise tonight!
December 27 at 5:58 pm
kvtvk says:
Need some advice on my defence.
I have 1 FT and 0.2 in the
Clichy – Clark – Ridgewell – Sagna – Shorey
Who should be my priority to get out?
A) Clichy
B) Ridgewell
C) Shorey
December 27 at 5:58 pm
King Nemanja says:
Shorey to Demel/O Brien
December 27 at 6:02 pm
Ibracadabra says:
Any of the 3 are top priority to get out. Ridgewell because he frees up 5m, Shorey because he doesn’t seem to be playing, and Clichy with his mysterious knock and other LB competition. Maybe get rid of Ridgewell as you wouldn’t want him playing at Old Trafford anyway and give you 5.2m to spend on a replacement.
December 27 at 6:06 pm
kvtvk says:
Thanks!
I think I’ll go for Ridgewell -> O’Brien, or maybe Gallas.
December 27 at 5:58 pm
RamaJama says:
Silva to Mata for a hit?
December 27 at 6:00 pm
Pratik says:
I don’t even want to do Silva->Mata on a free trade…For a hit, definitely not.
Chelsea’s next 4 fixtures aren’t that great with the exception of QPR(H) for which I think Mata will be rested.
If you want a Chelsea player, take a punt with Hazard instead.
December 27 at 6:06 pm
Ibracadabra says:
If you do you have to be prepared for Mata ro receive a rest either at Everton or home to QPR. He is in superb form but due a rest.
I am about to press the button on De Gea, Cameron and Yaya Toure OUT to Federici, DEF 4.2M or less and Mata for – 4.
De Gea could be dropped, Cameron is suspended, and Yaya is off to Africa in a few weeks.
I understand the risk that Mata will be rested but long term bringing him back in after selling him a few weeks ago for Gareth Bale is just what I need to do – he’s the most in form midfielder in the league and makes Chelsea tick. Like Pratik says below I could wait 4-5 weeks after Chelsea’s fixtures improve but by then he could be 9.9m or 10m.
December 27 at 6:15 pm
RamaJama says:
Thanks a lot for your answers!

sess -> bale worth -4?
December 27 at 6:00 pm
King Nemanja says:
I would, yes
December 27 at 6:18 pm
Mason says:
Would wait to FT him in personally.
December 27 at 5:59 pm
Stern John Terry Wilson Palacios says:
Just had a look at Norwich fixtures post GW24, in the interest of GK partnerships. If Ruddy is back by then, you could pair him with a So’ton keeper, and get this run:
TOT, qpr, FUL, EVE, ***QPR***, SOT, sun, wig, SWA, ***WHU***, RDG, sto/***WBA***, AVL, WBA, ***STO***
Those in asterisks are Southampton fixtures, and it’s only necessary for 3 weeks, possibly 4. Given Norwich’s defensive form with Ruddy in goal, it looks pretty inviting to me; it could potentially provide excellent value for those wanting a budget option. A potential problem, though, is the uncertainty around the Saints’ keeping position, though that situation may become clearer over the coming weeks.
December 27 at 6:01 pm
Pippo says:
Turner rotates with Cuellar. Probably a better combination, especially when Asimir Begovic is your one stop ticket to GK points.
December 27 at 6:03 pm
The Parmtree- A true Berbist!!! says:
This is for those unfortunate enough to not have the Bosnian.
December 27 at 6:04 pm
Stern John Terry Wilson Palacios says:
This is true. Just thinking (like a few others on here) that by the time GW24 comes around, Begovic may be a little expensive to warrant purchasing – looks as though he’ll reach the 6.0m mark
December 27 at 6:02 pm
colonel shoe says:
thanks for this
December 27 at 6:00 pm
manu4life99 says:
Have transfer?
Bego
Rafael Baines Enrique
Sterling bale Mata michu yaya

Subs: nelson Davies le fondre
December 27 at 6:00 pm
HappyAnkit says:
Rooney>Berba/Hernandez
Yaya>Bale/Mata
Rafael>Luiz
Yes or No? (4 pt hit)
December 27 at 6:01 pm
King Nemanja says:
Just do the first two, to Berb and Bale imo
December 27 at 6:00 pm
Mr. Paul With the ICE-CREAM says:
stick with clichy?
or swap him for gibbs?
December 27 at 6:02 pm
King Nemanja says:
Id switch, you’ll want Gibbs for the dgw anyway
December 27 at 6:05 pm
Mr. Paul With the ICE-CREAM says:
yup.thats the plan.only fear the injury proneness of him.
and too clichy has norwich where as gibbs has newcastle who just had 3 goals at OT
December 27 at 6:02 pm
SCOTT. BoxingDayBale. says:
switch
December 27 at 6:01 pm
Snake Juice says:
Hope Michu doesn’t miss more than a week. Time to step up Punch.
December 27 at 6:05 pm
Mr. Paul With the ICE-CREAM says:
same here
December 27 at 6:05 pm
Mason says:
Me too, he’s dreamy.
December 27 at 6:02 pm
deejay10 says:
Almost decided on Cazorla ahead of Walcott….Theo is just too unreliable! Cue Theo running riot in Jan.
Is 3 DGW players enough ?? I will basically have Sagna, Cazorla, Noble.
And when is the Chelsea DGW ?
December 27 at 6:02 pm
SCOTT. BoxingDayBale. says:
Thoughts on Evra?
December 27 at 6:05 pm
Pratik says:
It won’t last
December 27 at 6:06 pm
Snake Juice says:
In form, scoring goals and the most secure United defender.
But he’s too expensive imo.
December 27 at 6:07 pm
The Parmtree- A true Berbist!!! says:
£6.8m (Soon to be £6.9m) is a bit steep for the odd goal/assist and a low clean sheet potential.
December 27 at 6:02 pm
VAN PERSIE says:
OUT – Rooney
IN – ?
Thinking about Torres, Suarez ,Benteke
Already got Berbatov and Mata.
Thoughts much appreciated.
Thanks
December 27 at 6:03 pm
Mason says:
Currently have Begovic & Foster, and Begovic has more than held guard whilst Foster has been injured, which makes me wonder if I can shave cash in the January WC by downgrading Foster. Bunn seems to be the choice of many people’s plans on here, although Bunn doesn’t convince me if you look Norwich’s record of clean sheets since Ruddy has been injured.
I would either go with Bunn and play Begovic every week and hope they stay solid at the back, or get Ruddy and play Begovic until rotation becomes a possibility when Ruddy comes back from injury.
It must be said that Begovic and Foster are a great rotation.
Once I wildcard, I don’t want to muddle much with my goalkeepers and defence after I have wildcarded for the rest of the season as points are to be made transferring in/out big hitters in midfield and forwards in my opinion.
What are your thoughts on this?
December 27 at 6:06 pm
King Eric - I don't know ... And neither do you. says:
Begovic + the cheapest somb!tch GK in the game. Never rotate. Never worry. Never make the wrong choice.
Rotation causes tears.
December 27 at 6:07 pm
Mason says:
The Foster+Begovic rotation combo worked pretty well at the start of the season.
December 27 at 6:08 pm
Pippo says:
+ lots (of tears)
December 27 at 6:08 pm
Tommyg says:
+37
December 27 at 6:09 pm
The Parmtree- A true Berbist!!! says:
Are you going for that King Eric?
December 27 at 6:05 pm
louis9616 says:
Should I get Vertonghen in now or wait because he has 4 yellows ?
December 27 at 6:05 pm
SCOTT. BoxingDayBale. says:
wait
December 27 at 6:07 pm
Mr Smith says:
Michu has scored 7 goals since he picked up his 4th yellow. True story.
December 27 at 6:10 pm
Mason says:
This^
December 27 at 6:09 pm
colonel shoe says:
im waiting……..
really want to know when BAE will return and what the spurs backline would looklike ie who would make way
December 27 at 6:11 pm
Mason says:
This is a good point regardless of a potential one game ban.
December 27 at 6:10 pm
Mason says:
One game ban for a defender isn’t so bad if you play 3-4-3 most weeks. I wouldn’t be so bothered if you got him and he got a one game ban, could be a while before he gets the next yellow.
December 27 at 6:06 pm
Koflok - like taking hits because not taking hits is too mainstream.. says:
Is Ba going to AFCON on January?
December 27 at 6:07 pm
Mr Smith says:
Nope
December 27 at 6:07 pm
Snake Juice says:
No, to North London instead.
December 27 at 6:06 pm
Mr Smith says:
Well it’s been a struggle of a season but finally broke back into the top 100k (~70k) and about 100 points from my target of 1k.
At this stage, is top 1k still a realistic target?
December 27 at 6:07 pm
Stern John Terry Wilson Palacios says:
If you have a good-to-great second half of the season, that’s achievable, imo.
December 27 at 6:09 pm
Pratik says:
Yup, it still is.
December 27 at 6:10 pm
Pratik says:
Though top 10k is more likely. The higher you climb, the harder it gets.
December 27 at 6:12 pm
Mason says:
Aint it so. I got 10 points above average one week and dropped 1k.
December 27 at 6:16 pm
Mr Smith says:
Ouch, small margins.
December 27 at 6:11 pm
Mr Smith says:
Cheers, need to iron out some silly mistakes. Think I’m going to play safe, bring consistent players back (eg Ba) and above all else, stop rotating Begovic!
December 27 at 6:11 pm
King Eric - I don't know ... And neither do you. says:
Still a possible target? Sure. Inside 10K might be more realistic … but a person can make big moves in the second half, as casuals drop out due to poor performances. Keep your focus, play your game, and you should see steady improvement.
