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.

Arsenal
Reduced Cesc Fabregas’ starts and overall projection.
Increased Aaron Ramsey’s starts and overall projection.

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

Blackburn
Ryan Nelsen’s starts reduced – Gael Givet and Grant Hanley’s increased accordingly.

Bolton
Added Tyrone Mears Projection. Reduce Greter Steinsson and Sam Ricketts as a result.
Added Chris Eagles and Nigel Reo Coker. Full revision of Bolton’s midfield projections following the injury to Chung Yong Lee. Mark Davies’ projection in particular, has been boosted.

Full revision over the squad.
Frank Lampard’s overall projection reduced as a result of his recent deep lying role pre-season.
Youssi Benayoun’s starts and overall projection increased as a result of his pre-season form.

Everton
Mikel Arteta’s starts and overall projection decreased.
Victor Anichbe’s starts and overall projection increased.
Jermaine Beckford’s starts and overall projection increased. Louis Saha’s starts and projection reduced accordingly.

Fulham
Full revision over the squad

Liverpool
Reduced Jamie Carragher’s starts and projection. Increased Dan Agger’s accordingly.
Slightly reduced Luis Suarez starts and projection.

Man City
Corrected error with Lescott’s starts and projection – these have now been increased.
Sergio Aguero added to the Forwards. Mario Baltotelli and Edin Dzeko projections tweaked accordingly. Carlos Tevez starts and projection reduced slightly.

Man United
Slight tweaks to the projections of Rafael, Fabio, Wayne Rooney, Javier Hernandez , Tom Cleverley and Dimitar Berbatov.

Newcastle
Joey Barton’s projection cut while his future is decided. A full revision of the Newcastle midfield has been made as a result.
Reduced starts and projection for Leon Best. Slight tweaks to Demba Ba and Shola Ameobi.

Norwich City
Reduced Elliot Ward starts and projection increased Zak Whitebread accordingly.

QPR
Reduced Kasper Gorkss starts and projections. Revised the defence as a result.
Added Kieron Dyer to midfield.

Sunderland
Slight revision to the defence.
Increased Stephane Sessengon goals and overall projection in the light of his pre-season form and continued role up front.

Swansea City
Jose Moreira replaces Yves Ma Kalambay as the goalkeeper option. Added Wayne Routledge to midfield and reduced starts for Nathan Dyer and Stephen Dobbie accordingly.

Tottenham
Slight tweaks to the midfield and forward projections.

West Brom
Added Ben Foster to replace Boaz Myhill as goalkeeper – saves and Bonus increased.

I just thought you chaps would be fed up looking at the same players names, seein as every single team in the Scout league is going to score exactly the same points in GW1 and all. Least if I field this lot I will get a different score. Maybe not a better score, but different all the same 😀

          I wouldn't go with Rafael because of Jones, Smalling and Fabio but could be a good bargain if he gets a run of games.

          I got screwed too often last season trying to get budget defenders for the big teams (namely Utd and Chelsea), and then them being rested/rotated and then having to transfer them out. Trying to go for dead certs this season. At least for GW1!

      As far as I know there's been no confirmation saying that Baines is pen taker now. So you have to assume it's still Arteta.

      He and Arteta seem to share free kicks, or did last season. But it felt like Baines was taking more towards the end of the season (but that could be total rollocks).

    Ok...really cant decide...who do you reckon will get more points in the first 10 games or so?

    Suarez/Carroll (either) more creative midfield / tougher fixtures

    Or

    Bent - nice fixtures / nzog to help

    over the season i would go for suarez but want to get off to a good start...

      Hey chegs...

      I actually quite like this team but... I think Bent is a must for first 10 (yes 10) GWs, and why RVP until gw 4? No need???

      I am also assuming you are hoping enrique goes to LFC?

        Hello EVS.

        That could be true and I have contemplated going Torres/Aguero/Drogba instead but I actually think Arsenal will get a few goals v Newcastle and Liverpool, making him worthwhile.

        Yes - Enrique is only present if he goes to Liverpool. Otherwise hes out.

        If I get Bent I wouldnt want Charles, its definiately one or the other for me. I still think Villa will have a poor season.

          I have zog at mo, and suarez but tempted to go Bent instead after season full season tickers.

          I dont like the thought of x2 Villa fwds with McDef in charge, but fixtures warrant it.

          I think Bent will get at least 6 goals, in first 10 games !!!

            Really? Best of luck.

            Ill stick with RVP, although I might end up starting with Aguero or even Tevez and switching to rvp for gameweek 4.

    Mark and FFS Scouts,

    In the Projections, Albrighton and Petrov are expected to play 36 games for Villa and pick up 12 clean sheets. However, N'Zogbia is expected to play 2 games less but only pick up 9 clean sheets.

    As an aside, do you think Albrighton's projections are optimistic? Surely the projections should leave room for performing above as well as below expectations? I don't see Albrighton returning better than 7 goals and (a massive) 12 assists given that only Nani assisted more last year! All in my opinion, of course.

      I dont think he will start personally.

      for me it will be

      Given
      Young, Dunne, Collins, Warnock
      Ireland, Petrov,Bannon/Makoun
      Agbonlahor, Bent, Nzog

      Bent plays better in a 433
      NZog plays better in a 433.

      Why play 442?

      10/15 starts for Albrighton for me.

        True, but it's quite OTT in Albrighton's case considering he only played around 20 games last year. (Didn't know he assisted 7 times though... might have to take it back! Mind you, most of those Downing was on the end of.)
