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.

Increased Aaron Ramsey’s starts and overall projection.

Another clean sheet added to Villa’s defence and midfield to take Villa on to a predicted 12 clean sheets for the season.

              He is the most talented midfielder, but has been rested for several periods in the past 2 seasons due to formation issues. Having said that, his defensive work has improved.
              I would prefer Moses for 5 or a Sinclair (star man and penalty taker) for 6 rather than Wes to start with.

          my thinking seems much the same as yours. playing the fixtures. I dont doubt that RVP & Rooney etc might score big but they do have some tricky fixtures the first few weeks whereas chelsea and villa have kind fixtures. Chelsea could go nuts again for the first few weeks so i'll go with 3 of them and villa much the same..

    Hey guys, I'd like some opinions please.

    Currently I'm thinking:
    Schwarzer (Given)
    Orr, Hughes, Kompany (Enrique, Bardsley)
    O'Hara, Silva, VdV, Moses (Sinclair)
    Rooney, Aguero, Holt

    Im flopping between O'Hara and Hoolahan, leaning towards Hoolahan but questioning his starting potential now based on others comments.

    What do you guys think between these choices?
    a) Enrique -> Luiz, Vdv-> Taarabt, Moses -> Albrighton
    b) Enrique -> Roger Johnson, VdV -> Dempsey, Moses-> (Albrighton/Brunt)
    c) Leave as is.

    Thanks for the help guys.

      Nice team, pretty similar to mine 🙂
      Maybe a bit too much spent on keepers, think you might as well save 0.5 and get Bramble instead of Bardsley. Maybe get some Chelsea attacking coverage for their good fixtures instead of doubling up on City. No team for me seems complete without RVP!

        I haven't seen anything from Chelsea preseason that has made me confident enough to choose one of their expensive attacking talents. I know I'm doubling up on city, but they've also got a good string of fixtures. Silva is in impressive form and I'm not going to drop him though I'd consider rotating Aguero with others like RVP.

        Not sure about Bramble, I mean he's solid but I like the idea of Bardsley's greater attacking threat.

          He may do i dont know but he is prone to onjury and man utds fixtures arent great to start with . I just think it would be wiser to see who holds down the rb spot first. Pick someone who is guaranteed to start . Only my opinion mind.
