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.

Chelsea
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

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.

Tottenham
Slight tweaks to the midfield and forward projections.

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

      Anyone but Robinson in goal, can't see Blackburn being anything but poor this season (cue jokes about their willie being good).

      Your midfield looks a bit lightweight. Assume you intend to go for the Taar-Sinc roatation, which leaves you having to possibly play O'hara or Sess away from home quite frequently.

        Rod is a great choice for first three games - after that not so sure.

        As Agger is fit Skrtl appearances could suffer hugely - Agger much better player than the thug.

      It looks like a great team to me, if perhaps a little unoriginal. The only real bones of contention are:

      - Enrique only in the team as long as he goes to Lolerpool I expect?
      - Malouda a rotation risk.
      - Suarez may miss first few games.

      I don't think these are huge issues though, just considerations.

    I see a lot of cheap defences in these RMTs, which is both an expected and viable strategy. The two big factors behind this thinking are that a) points are harder to come by in defence and b) most managers will be aiming to field only three at the back most gameweeks.

    Fair enough. I'm with you all on this so far. However moving beyond the defence there is an apparent fork in the road in terms of our respective managerial philosophies. The main consequence of going for a cheap defence is that you will be needing to field a 5-2 or a 4-3 in Midfield-Attack almost every week.

    What that means is that you need to fill the remaining 8 slots with players you have confidence in playing nearly every gameweek. I would recommend having all 8 as acceptable options but you need at least 7/8 to be playable every week. So for example if you want to capitalise on a cheap attacking pairing whose fixtures rotate well e.g. QPR/Swansea or Newcastle/Sunderland, fine go ahead but remember you need to rotate these players.

    Your other 6 attackers will need to play every game. You can't then go and get some bench fodder like Ferguson or Henry just so you can afford your 30m frontline!

    As I'm seeing everyone's RMTs becoming more and more similar, I might suggest that last year Martin Petrov and Mauro Boselli were popular picks on here, didn't work out so well. I encourage you all to be creative in picking your team, or everyone on this site will settle for the same mediocre score...

        Haha, I'm guilty of Sessegnon too...although it's because I thought he was great at PSG and was just waiting for him to find Premier League form. I think there are certain players this site brings to light that are worth it, but also a lot that will flop. I'm wary of Victor Moses and Grant Holt
