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.

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.

    Where do you think is the best (i.e. least risky) place to go for bargains... defence, midfield, or up front?

        Pretty much decided I'm going all out on my strikers, just not sure where to let suffer... am thinking midfield, potentially some hidden bargains lurking at £6m and below there.

      Defence - 4.5m buys you a regular starting defender in a mid table team (such as Sunderland).

      I think Doyle at 6m will be a bit of a bargain too although not quite priced as such. But sssshh, I didn't say that.

      Wolves to be markedly improved this year, i reckon.

        This season I think Mancini will try something different - especially if Tevez leaves -

        Hart
        Richards Kompany Lescott Clichy
        Silva De Jong Yaya Kolorov
        Aguero Balotelli

        I don't think he trusts Balotelli's work rate in a 4-2-3-1 type formation. Barry slows play down too much also.

                Most sense anyone has made yet, but I'm afraid that Milner will sneak in over Johnson just off seniority, I have not seen him (Milner) play much preseason though.

        Balotelli is gone by November...

        I happen to think Johnson WILL play lots. He's settled down with the drink and Mancini has no other excuses not to play him. Besides he will be the Brit that plays the best with all of the foreign talent. Right now he's extremely versatile as in the guy who gives the spark to the second team.

    Hi guys.
    Could I have your opinion on Gabby Agbonlahor? He has played in some of the friendlies, and if Villa play a 4-4-2 formation, he could be a bargain. But, if they play a 4-2-3-1, like they did in the first friendly he will be benched with N'Zogbia and Albrighton right and left, and Bent up front. But for 6.5 he could really do some damage, if he could get the game time.....

          Looks okay, typical English #9. Scores with his left, right and head, takes pens and most importantly looks he looks like a greedy bast*rd in front of goal.

      I'm not impressed at all. Most of those goals resulted from sloppy defending, being toally unmarked, or a lucky bounce rather than his skill.

      Undoubtedly you have to be in the right place at the right time, but with the higher quality of defending in the top flight, I would expect him to struggle for such a tally this comign season.

      That being said there were a few well taken goals in there, and could do well against weaker teams, but I am not expecting him to do too much.

              Rodallega at 6.5 is a proven points getter in the EPL, although his returns may diminish without Nzogbia.

              If holt starts scoring big, easy enough to get him in before his price rises.

              I'd like to see him play in the top flight before joining in any bandwagons.

              Think SEB from two seasons ago - top scorer before he came to premier league then did naff all.

            Malouda, Silva, Taarabt, Moses, Dyer

            RVP, Suarez, Zamora

            The solution comes by downgrading Cole to, hopefully, Luiz. Then upgrading Moses. But is it palatable having them both at the beginning? is the question I'm struggling with.

              I'm speaking the bleeding obvious, but you're paying a high premium for Cole, Malouda and Silva. Given that you have Simpson and Orr then downgrading Cole to Luiz isn't an option as you want someone nailed on to start.

              Would you consider Silva to Yaya, freeing up 1.5m, or maybe Zamora to Rodallega or Doyle, then upgrade Dyer or Moses?

            Valencia is good value at 8m and will be nailed on as he's really disciplined in playing that right midfield role.

        too greedy 18 assits last season and nani is well better player than that average 17m young and it will be a battle for the other wing between valencia/young nani is not selfish anymore and looked fitter and stronger in pre- season and was hiting great passes and crosseand scoring goals so theirs no way that average waste of space young will take his place

        rant over

          Id love to see nani do well. But he as to be more team player. If he does that he could be world class. Half his assits where prob rebounds of his shots!!

    The Racing Post gave "Swansealona" quite a good write up today, suggesting that they are well capable of staying up. They wrote that their back line "oozes class" and pinpointed Steven Caulker as a wise loan move.

    I'm going to have one of their rear-guard in my team to start off with owing to their decent run of opening home fixtures but is Caulker The One? I know f uck all about them but I notice that Rangel & Williams are 0.5M dearer. Are they a better punt?

      I wouldn't go with any of the promoted team's defenders unless a 4.0m defender is an absolute must, and even then Simpson at Newcastle should offer similar or better returns.

      Attacking players is a different kettle of fish, of course.

    Aguero, Tevez, Dzeko, Balotelli
