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.

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.

Bolton

        For starters just how committed is he to QPR? PSG came in for him & it was rebuffed. He doesn't come across as a grafter, dig deep & grind a result out.

        Prefer Sinclair to Taarabt.

          Yeah I have same worries that his head might not be in the right place. I am not sold on Sinclair at the moment tbh, none of the promoted players have turned my head yet.

          But then you do have the bonus of set pieces with both and we seen how Adam returned with those last season.

            Bit risky filling out your team with promoted players who have no/little Premiership experience.

            We're all hedging our bets for next seasons Adam. Ultimately we wont know for a few weeks.

      Aguero is still an unknown PL quantity & might face some rotation, esp. early days.

      Downing's always been 'meh' to me, so no love there. Plus, some early fixtures worry me.

      Silva and Carroll are more 'reliable' in terms of starting and being centerpieces of their respective teams.

            Doesn't seem as bad as hearing the number ... especially as the starters are pretty reliable week-in, week-out players. But god forbid you need a bench ...

            But fairplay to you - early days, if you've chosen right, you'll likely not need to go to the sub bench.

        For the record I've got Sinclair, Hoolahan & myself.

        I suppose the point I'm trying to make is they wont all harvest points like Adam did last season. Some will inevitably fail to perform on the big stage. Leaving us cursing.

        Just a thought. sobering one for me though.

          3 is the max, imo, to put in a week 1 team. Gambling for points/value increases is a 'good' side-bet ... especially if they are largely subs.

          Five, though, to me is absolutely reckless. No offense, junkie - I just can't sleep with that amount of risk.

          In fairness though what's the point in spending extra funds on say a Blackburn, WBA, or Wigan defender compared to a 4m promoted player.

            West Brom could be tighter at the back this year under Hodgson, and Blackburn actually had a decent home defensive record last year. It really depends on how stuck you are for funds

            You can be reasonably sure of what you're getting with a Blackburn, WBA or Wigan defender.

    A: Given - Kenny - Cole

    Second option secures an extra ManCity Clean sheet along with Kompany. Considering Cech scored the same as Cole last season, it seems reasonable.

    Now then... I know I'll be shouted down with cries of "heretic" and "basphemer" for even suggesting this, but does nobody else think that one or both of Torres or Drogba are going to go apesh*t in the first few weeks, and it's therefore worth a gamble?

    I'm thinking more about Drogba: he would probably get the nod against Stoke, and he'll be keen to stake his place... same price as Malouda too, so you could leave him out of the midfield and you're half way to having a non-generic side.

        The reason everyone has Malouda and not Drogba is that there are lots of stikers with promise to put up front, but if you take Malouda out of the midfield, who do you put in? There are few good choices to replace him with.

      Again, I'm steering clear of Newcastle, in particular the defence as I feel like they're gonna drop points all over the shop. I'd personally switch him for Orr or another 4.0.

      Ferguson wont play
      Luiz is a rotation risk
      Suarez might miss the first week or 2
      I probably wont look at Aguero for a week or 2 either til i see how well/often hes playing

    Don't ask how I got here but I'm experiencing a bit of Norwich overkill

    Think I need to lose either Ruddy or De Laet
    Current GK and Def is

    Ruddy, Given
    De Laet, Orr, Hughes, Baines, Bosingwa(depending on likelihood of a start) May switch him to Kompany or Clichy

    Anyway, best replacement at either position for 4.0 ideally? 4.5 if I really have to..
    I feel like Newcastles a lost cause and thus am ruling out Simpson
    And I'm a bit iffy on a Swansea back..

      Norwich fan here. I wouldn't get any of our defence. Look at the stats from last season.

      Clean Sheets 11

      I don't understand why everyone is going nuts over Ruddy, although he is a good keeper.

      However our attacking players are defo worth a look we were the highest scoring team in the league. Particually Holt and O'Hoolahan. The are both on set pieces and will pick up bonus points no doubt.
      Also worth looking if you want a cheap defender is Russel Martin. He got five goals last campagn and I think he'll do just as well in the premier.

          I agree. I think he will play the deep lying forward to support Hernandez even more this year than he did last year. I recon he'll get less assists than last year as the united midfield has been strengthened by the return of Valencia and obviously by the signing of young.

    Would the players with a high "team selected by %" automatically appreciate on Day 1? Or would Day 1 be the baseline for appreciation? So would the price of Suarez at 39% ownership jump from 9.5 to 10 in week 1, or would the 39% be the new baseline for future appreciation?

      you mean from 9.5 to 9.6? 🙂

      last year, if i remember rightly, it took a couple weeks for any price changes..

        I'll be corrected if wrong, but player baseline is set as of week 1.Appreciation would begin from first gameday ... meaning the Suarez hike would be day 2, earliest - based on transfers *after* deadline 1.

      No. It starts from scratch on day 1. So from then on Suarez would need roughly 30,000 net-transfers-in to rise in price

    Any advice welcomed.

    Given (Ruddy)

    Cole, Kompany, Rafael (Alcaraz, S Taylor)

    VDV, Sinclair, Eagles, (Moses, K Dyer)

    Suarez, Van Persie, Bent

    Rotating Moses in midfield and Alcaraz and Taylor into defense.

    Any better advice on a 4.5 midfielder?

    Think there's too many risks in midfield or do you think it's justified by the strikers?

      Hoolahan is worth a punt at 5.5. He get set pieces and is a goal scoring midfielder. He'll draw bonus points to.

      Although I am a Norwich fan so probably a little biased 🙂

        Thanks, I think Eagles will be on set pieces this year and that Bolton will be relying quite heavily on Davies now then Elmander has gone.

    Pennant also looks like a junkie

    Best defensive option for West Brom?
    Doesn't look like I can afford Foster and after GW2 they're looking at some decent fixtures

    Hey guys, what do you think Chelsea's defence will be Vs. Stoke GW1?

    A. Cole, Terry, Luiz, Bosingwa is what I'm thinking, but im interested to hear what you guys think.

    Also, who do you think will be City's strikers?

      I'd say Ivanovic instead of Boswinga. Id say it most likely will be Aguero on his own but it's impossible to guess really isn't it.

    Hey guys I'm looking for suggestions for alternatives to VDV.
    Given Sir Alex's recent comments about Young looking like a starter on the left he seems like a strong candidate.
    Any thoughts?

      He's a good gamble right now, imo.

      But, you'll need to be prepared for his non-start, i.e. a decent sub. But I agree that SAF will give Young an early start and Young will be looking to impress.

      Sneijder might change the reckoning, though 😉

        He's an expensive gamble at 10m though. Also ManU's early fixtures are tough which combined with Uniteds usual slow start put me off.
        I just get the feeling that he'll step up massively due to playing in a better team. I'm just not sure how that will translate to fantasy terms.
