    A heads up, we've just made a major update to Rate My Team and Projections.

    Apologies for the issues with the Build my Team facility - we're now up and running and tonight we added the new probabilities for lineups and some key tweaks to rates.

    Obviously we'll update again over the next couple of days with the new team news.

      Cheers Mark! I was wondering if there was any way to put a "last updated" label on RMT and projections?

    Huge numbers

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Absolutely massive.

      1. Ha.
        • 8 Years

        Seen bigger.

  6. Sylas
    • 8 Years

    Great article! The numbers are very helpful for sure.

  7. Yank Revolution
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Here's some numbers!

    AGUERO'S PENALTY SUCCESS RATE COMPARED TO OTHER TOP PLAYERS
    Sergio Aguero: 78.8
    Lionel Messi: 77.4
    Cristiano Ronaldo: 84.3
    Eden Hazard: 87.2
    Wayne Rooney: 78.6
    Zlatan Ibrahimovic: 88

    1. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney a top player 😆

    2. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Kun still better than Messi.

      Relax guys

    3. devils advocate
      • 9 Years

      Guess that settles who's on pens for united.

  8. Firmino
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Which two to play from these:

    Amat
    Stones
    Friend
    Redmond
    Capoue

    1. Sylas
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A & R.

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      A and B

  9. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    I do not like those Vardy numbers compared with Musa

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Will Musa start this week?

  10. andy85wsm

    One of my favourite articles this. Good ol' Redmond.

    Is Aguero likely to lose penalty duties now?

      Nice.

  14. Squires FC
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Feeling a big haul this gw. Really fancy chelsea to score big & am very tempted to captain either costa or hazard... but aguero should be captained against any team, any time. Right?

    1. suddenorgan
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Having both Costa and Hazard in your team is probably enough

  15. SYLVIAN
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Payet or Mahrez??

    Payet predicted better (just) on RMT.

    Mahrez just signed contract and back on pens.

    West Ham, who were poor against CHE playing Bournemouth.

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Having the same debate. I'm swaying towards transferring Mahrez out for Payet this week. Looking beyond this week I'd say that over the next 6 weeks Payet has more favourable fixtures:

      Payet: BOU (H), MCY (A), WAT (H), WBA (A), SOT (H), MID(H)
      Mahrez: ARS (H), SWA (H), LIV (A), BUR (H), MUN (A), SOT(H)

    Have not seen any of the Spurs highlights, was it that bad?

      1. tm245
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers, not awful for Alli, yet.

    Its not a numbers game, its a game about balls and feet. I cant even convince myself. I should be a member really. Im already far to involved in all formats of fantasy football. It feels like buying bit coins on an iPhone app if you pay for it.

    I stand by, watching, reading and deciding with my brain.

    Dont hold me to that though. Im a week 1 wild carder for the first time in 9 seasons.

    Feel like I need membership after this..

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      The size of these numbers. Mahousive.

  19. Blanka
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Play Wickham or Stones ?

    1. BadgersBoys
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Wickham. More potential for returns IMO.

    2. KISSES
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Stones

  20. Mulder
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Nigeria with the worst freekick of all time

  21. BadgersBoys
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Great article, very informative.

  22. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Shane Duffy! Played 3, OGs 3 and now sent off 😀

    Burnley infiltrator

    1. Long Juan Silva
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Terrible defender alright. Absolutely stank for Ireland in the last 16 game

  23. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Fails to mention that Townsend didn't register a shot on target (I think?)

  24. KISSES
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Play Jaku or Kasper this weekend?

    Should I burn my free transfer and bring in Foster for Kasper?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Jaku probably.

  25. Gooner97
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Will Cuadrado leave?

    1. Mulder
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Looks likely

    2. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Milan were really interested but not sure if they want him now as they bought Sosa

      1. Gooner97
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 8 months ago

        I think he'll return to Juve

        1. FPL Maldini
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 8 months ago

          Possibly. They end up getting everyone Milan want / need haha

          1. Gooner97
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 8 months ago

            Cause Milan don't have money ahah

            1. FPL Maldini
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

              True story

  26. StellaMan
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    For a 2 week punt - worth switching Gray out?
    Thinking Rondon - any other options?

    1. Ozzy smith
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      If Gray doesn't deliver this week, I'm getting Rondon in. Nice fixtures for wba

  27. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    First time I have ever saved a transfer first week. Not sure if I'm being complacent or it's the best thing to do.

    Currently sitting on the top of my ML and assuming Deulofeu and Gray will do the business

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 7 Years

      Same. Very similar post below.

  28. goriuanx

    Nice article this 🙂

  29. The Albatross
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 8 months ago

    Valdes (sun) or Foster (EVE) ?

    1. Ziegler1988
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Foster

    2. BadgersBoys
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Big V

    3. Gooner97
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Foster

    4. Swanremainsthesame
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      48.5% Foster - wba dont park the bus so much at home
      51.5% Valdes - sun rarely create more than 1 chance, but thats all defoe usually needs.

  30. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…

    7 years, 8 months ago

    As it gets ever so close to 7pm on Friday - I am concerned that this is the first time I'm very comfortable with my squad. GW1 so a respectable score, no injuries, no yellows and just a general a good sign of things to come.

    What's gawin' on!?

    1. FPL Maldini
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 8 months ago

      Tell me about it!

    2. Swanremainsthesame

      Fpl gods just winding you up for a double bummer of a gw2.
      relax while you can.
