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.

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

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

Norwich City

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

    What do people think of
    a) Sturridge - At £6.5m could be a bargain if he plays! Is it worth the risk? Or should I go with Davies who would be more reliable or even Rodallega for first few match rounds?

    b) Sandro - again if he plays could be a great pick at £5m. Or somebody like Moses, Mikel, Rodwell?

      Sturridge is banned for the first three games I think, he got sent off for Bolton in their last game of the season.

    • 14 Years

    i read some of these teams and laugh. Will this player play will he not... some people dont have a scooby doo.
    my team and justification

    given/ruddy
    Ivanohvic, A Cole, Richards (Man city),Baines
    Ramsey, Silva, Nzogbia, moses, ferguson
    Suarez, Bent, holt

    Given will keep clean sheets in first 6 weeks, if not he will get many saves= points
    People say will ivanovic start. If u dont think he will then quit this game as u dont know n e thing. If hes not playing right back he will be centreback and chelsea guaranteed clean sheets ( i predict unbeaten at home this season) (ashley cole ditto)

    Why pick Kompany. Micah richards same price, guaranteed start, yes, guaranteed start. he scores and assists

    Baines. Obvious. penalty, and freekick taker with loads of assists

    Ramsey takes way too many shots not to score (too attacking),silva has easy fixtures and runs man city,N zogbia just to make money on my £100 mil, moses is the next best youngster out there

    Bent will score plenty this season. H8 the guy but he scores guaranteed and suarez is the to make money ( most probably wont start first couple of games)

    Thanks for reading. Hopefully you lot take it as gospel.Please comment back with problems for my team ( this is a 1-9 week team)
    would be much appreciated. Any bad comments is obviously just Blasphemy

    P.S all about defense in the first weeks. NO ONE knows who will start in mid- forwards for the top 5 teams so why guess. Get guaranteed points for clean sheets, assists and goals in defense.

    Thanx

      of course he might not be worth it but compared to other players at 8.0, i think he is quite a 'safe' choice

      Played every minute last season, seems to hog set pieces especially without arteta, and even if he underperforms in an attacking sense, everton could overperform defensively (or vice versa) so he has a safety net of sorts.

              Ok thanks, I just gave it a read.

              Man, that totally screws with my line-up if its true. Does anyone know how close the predictions from last year were? If I remember correctly they were off quite a bit on some players but I'm not 100% positive.

                I think it's wrong personally. If Sturridge does get 13 starts then it will be at Kalou's or possibly Anelka's expense.

        I guess thats possible but I thought it was Drogs Points that he ate into since Drogs is penciled in to only start 9 games and finish with 73pts only. He is the lowest Chelsea striker on the list, behind even Sturridge. I must say that it doesnt really make any sense to me.

    Just played around a bit, tried to make a side with coverage from the top 5 teams.
    Likely not going to be my team, just wanted to see how it would come out…
    Spent 54 mil on 5 players!

    Given Ruddy
    Kompany Bramble Salgado Simpson Orr
    Malouda Silva Moses Ephraim Dyer
    Rooney VanPersie Carroll

    Given- everyone has him, cheap and behind a pretty solid defense
    Ruddy- rotates well, won’t play much since Norwich will probably be the whipping boys

    Kompany- another ‘must have,’ a mainstay in the solid City backline
    Bramble- Titus Shambles is an accident waiting to happen, but 4.5 is still a snip imo
    Salgado- thinking Blackburn will keep some clean sheets
    Simpson/Orr- my cheap benchies, 4.0 starters for their sides, Newcastle/Sunderland rotation

    Malouda- downgraded Lamps, looks like he should still be a starter
    Silva- runs the show at City, great preseason
    Moses- should thrive without N’Zog, great opening fixtures
    Ephraim/Dyer- both starters for their teams, will rotate them depending on fixture

    Rooney- good preseason, Man U coverage
    RVP- labeled a ‘must have’ by many, covers Arsenal…not too much too say about these two
    Carroll- backing the lethal Downing-Carroll combo, hoping Liverpool starts strong

    There’s my novel, anyone want to give their thoughts?
    Cheers

    P.S. just a 'food for thought team' if you will, don't laugh at me too much haha

    Scratch, to answer your question from the last page- I think Ramsey will play where you had Nasri at. I see Nasri tucked in right behind RVP, with Wilshere and Ramsey behind him. I think Ramsey is great..

      Like a 4-4-2? Wenger never plays that.

      I presume you think he'll drop Song so because I can't see Wenger deviating from his system of 2 supporting forwards on the flanks.

        Unless you think Nasri will remain out wide with Walcott on the opposite side. That's the only way I could see Ramsey getting regular-ish starts.

        And if Wenger lands Mata or some such Fabregas replacement Ramsey will definitely be reduced to sub appearances most of the time.

      Are there really any other defenders for that price that are likely to start though?

      Although perhaps lacking in imagination, Simpson twinned with a Bramble/Turner and covered by Orr seems (on paper at least) a decent road to more investment further upfield. I exclude anyone from Norwich from the discussion because I think they will concede sh*tloads.
