Our Members Area now includes updated projections for the remaining matches of the season as a whole and the next six Gameweeks.

Although these were originally devised as pre-season projections, we’ve worked with Chris Atkinson’s Rate My Team model to ensure that we keep them ticking over and have been updating on a weekly basis. We’ll endeavour to keep that up, although our current aim is to implement the full Rate My Team functionality – work continues on that behind the scenes, with the aim to have RMT delivered to our Members for their January Wildcards.

Just to stress that the projections listed are to cover the remaining matches eg: if a player is listed as scoring 10 goals, these are in addition to the goals he may have scored up to Gameweek 4.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Afternoon Chaps

    anyone considering playing 5 in midfield? The mid. five of, Hazard, cazorla, HBA, Pienaar, Michu looks particularly strong, add RVP and Tevez (Pog) and therein lies explosive points potential

    I'm considering it, just not sure if it'll be beneficial continually benching a forward? In defence of the system most of those mids. are playing in such advanced positions they could be considered a forward anyway and maybe the extra points (CS/Goals) swings it?

    For me it comes down to, do i prefer HBA to Berbatov??

    About five years in a row I've made a team in this and then been found out by some early kick off because they can't get the sun working properly in Russia.

    And therefore, I'm out.

          Not really. Like most Russian teams, their fans are too busy hating the opposition. And the security around the ground is very professional.
