Our Rate My Team tool and the associated Projections enjoyed an extensive update overnight as we applied tweaked player appearance probabilities based on the pre-season matches.

Further updates are planned today once Andre Ayew is moved to the West Ham squad and Paul Pogba arrives in the game.

We will also be updating the team attack and defence ratings based on the current bookmaker market trends.

Indeed, both Rate My Team and the Projections are likely to be tweaked on a daily basis as further team news breaks over the week. If you’re using these tools, be sure to check back each day to see how the changes reflect on your current selections.

If you’re not using these tools and are wondering how they can help you, we’ve got an FAQ on both of them here.

Meanwhile, late last week we created an updated movie previewing both Rate My Team and the Projections.

These tools are accessible as part of the Fantasy Football Scout Membership. This is currently available for the pre-season price of £12.50 (RRP £15.00).

Users with free accounts can upgrade via this link, while new users can register as members here.

    Hi

    1. CAPTAIN_WALES
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Woohooo first... if only my FPL season would stay like that!

  2. Irish Madridista ⭐

    So... Ripping apart our defences? 🙂

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I had a spare .5 lying around, so upgraded a 4.5 to Stones. The rest is staying the same, I think. Although I have Kone in as a Sunderland player and may rethink if he moves.

    2. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Absolutely.

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I am not sure if Stones or Williams are going to start gw 1 .

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Stones probably will.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Cheers . I am looking for an article Htv posted about defensive rotation it suggested palace , boro , swansea . I forgot to bookmark it

      2. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Might be worth getting from the start if your four other defenders are nailed

    4. Pap Le Cissier
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Haven't got the stones for that

    5. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Can't bring myself to take out Cédric for Stones or Williams. 😕

      1. Ayew Serious
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Definitely don't do it for Stones

  3. Cradders
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can Arsenal just sign Mahrez so I can put Gray in my team please! Any £5m rated players worth getting or shall I just get a £4.5m??

    Is Kightly nailed? He's a winger so if he's nailed then could be a decent option.

    Also VVD or Williams??

  4. Waterboyd
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Payet with the great numbers. Hidden info leaked by FFS.

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hazard way down on that list interestingly

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I demand a refund!

      1. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Aye, they've given loads on the stats directly to FPL anyway!

  5. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Why couldn't Wenger sign Williams?!

    1. Cradders
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Good point, I know Wenger has admired him in the past. But it's probably because he's 31

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Clearly he's waiting for Evans to go up in price 😉

    3. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Would have made too much sense.

    4. Defcons are for Kinnear
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Too old

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Surely they will get Mustafi or someone!

      1. stachman
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Surely 😀

  6. HurriKane
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Watch john stones ownership rise now. whats his current ownership ?

    1. Waterboyd
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Closing in on 20% probably by the end of the day.

  7. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Aguero is past it. Won't get more than 10 goals.

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      rofl

    2. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Don't be silly

    3. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is that the best you've got? 🙄

      1. TheBusDriver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        ?? I'm serious.

      2. TheBusDriver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Looks overweight, lots of rotation and injury prone

    4. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      are you MrMaverick ?

    5. Pompel
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      DEfo not past it - but might see more rotation with Pep.

    6. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Can you never post again if he does get 10+ goals?

      😉

      1. TheBusDriver
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Deal, but more than 13+

        1. Costa's Counsellor
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          BOOKMARKED

    7. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, he'll probably just get 8, against Sunderland.

  8. Waterboyd
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Foster, Jaku
    Shaw, Stones, Terry, Friend, Kingsley
    Gradel Townsend Hazard Firmino Capoue
    Gray Ibra Aguero

    1m ITB.

    Invest in Mids or GKs? Want to keep Gradel & Townsend for values sake.

  9. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) Mane + Redmond + Fuchs

    B) Firmino + Tadic + Morgan (+Azpi -> Terry)

    IS Leicester defence worth investing in for Hull and Swansea? Or should i be looking elsewhere for a defender?

    1. Slartibartfast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thank you

    2. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B
      But I've gone for Redmond

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks GBPearce, is that purely because of Firmino > Mane?

        Just having second thoughts on Redmond, started with Walcott last season and it did not go well, worried about minutes

        1. gbpearce - AMERICAN DYCHO
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Just a bit of a gut feeling on both.
          Think all pool attacks will go through Firmino, and think Redmond will start up front

          1. Elijah's Wood
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Its definately a coin flip with the Pool attackers, been with Firmino for so long and then downgraded Townsend to Redmond and didnt know what to do with the extra 0.5m.

            Hoping Redmond is worth it 🙂

  10. Dr. Rog
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Rate my team folks:

    Foster/ Heaton
    Baines Shaw Stones (Friend) (Wilson)
    Hazard Eriksen Delafeu Redmond (Capoue)
    Aguero Ibra Caroll

    1. Teddy Steddingham
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Looks nice. Not personally a fan of Eriksen over Alli but, that's just opinion.

      Interested why you picked Baines over coleman?

  11. Oooof
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Best premium keeper for early WC?

    1. TheBusDriver
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      DDG probably

      1. Oooof
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Already got Shaw - would you double up?

    2. Cevap
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      hey Cheesus...answers too late on the last thread. you playing DugoutFC?

      1. Oooof
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yep - never played it before.

        How about you?

  12. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    As it's a relatively useless chip anyway, thinking of going AOA in GW1 - thoughts on this?

      Can be more useful than you think, wait till you have a lot of injuries and one free transfer, could pull you out of a hole

      1. _Freddo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        What if all those injuries are spread out in defence, midfield and upfront? Throw in a suspension in midfield?

        Anyone actually have a perfect scenario last season where 3 defenders were injured while having a banging front 8?

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I did last season then regretted it later in the season when Def injuries mounted up.

      Worth hanging onto for when you're low on Def options.

    3. Teddy Steddingham
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Deulofeu at Tottenham doesn't justify a AOA to me. You'll just regret it if you need it further on in the season

  13. nimbin_headers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Stones nailed?

    1. Waterboyd
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Probably playing due to his price.

      1. jmcclory123
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I don't think so, there's been a lot of discussion here about that. His price reflects his potential - he's one for the future. He hasn't even had one training game with City. Pep will favour Mangala for at least the opening fixture till Stones gets adjusted.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Mangala?? This has to be a joke 🙂

            1. _Freddo
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Mangala also hasn't had hardly any training with City and isn't he up for sale?

          • Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Was Mangala even in the latest friendly squad list? He is omitted from the CL playoffs squad for sure. I could bet he won't play a minute in PL or CL for City this season.

      Parm.
      I cashed out before lunch so won £80.

        Solid stuff, glad you did it before the collapse.

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Pakistan are just awful. 🙁

          1. Rupert The Horse
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I think they've played fairly well. There's no real stand out team at the moment, we battered Sri Lanka, and they have just battered Australia, the no1 ranked test team in the world.

            1. Al_Fresco
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Winning on the sub continent is harder than mastering #fpl.

              In saying that, we aren't the force we once were. Only starc would make a test world 11 imo.

              You will crush us in the ashes. You heard it here first.

        2. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          That was just madness. I was very lucky. Only cashed out as I had 5 minutes spare to have a look and couldn't look at my phone again until after the game would have finished.

    3. Manani

      RMT

      Foster Jak
      Stones Shaw Morgan Pieters Kone
      Hazard Firmino Ramirez Townsend Hojeberg

      1.5m in bank

      1. Oooof

        No Ibra?

    4. cylus11 ( Manager) - Russia…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I am set for Gw 1 :

      Heaton, Jackpovic
      Stones, Kone ( joins Everton), VVD, Mcauley, Valencia
      Firmino, Hazard, Albrighton, Tadic, Ramirez
      Augero, Vardy, Caroll.

      Ramirez, Mcauley, Kone on the bench for Gw 1

      Does it look good?

    5. Cradders
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Playing a game with mates where you pick a team to win each weekend. Can't pick same team twice and last man standing wins the money if your team loses or draws you're out.

      Saints
      City
      Leicester
      Someone else??

      1. Slartibartfast
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Leicester

    6. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Arsenal will probably end the window signing Mustafi, Xhaka, and maybe Johnny Evans. Is that acceptable?

      1. Cradders
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Nope a striker is rather necessary and has been since RVP was sold

      2. Yome
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hell no, they need a striker

      3. JIM BOB
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It potentially addresses the old problem of the defence, but not the world class striker they've been craving.

      4. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cant believe you're forgetting Rob Holding.

      5. jmcclory123
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        God another season of watching in despair as Giroud a squanders his tenth chance against Watford and Ozil has his hands out as much to say what more can I do for you.

      6. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Still screaming out for a striker or a wide forward at the very least.

      7. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        If so, why haven't they done it already? Mustafi has a release clause. Evans will cost around £18m, they'll have to pay over the odds but this is the club with the largest matchday revenues in the world.

        Why haven't they done it already?

    7. GinjaWhinja
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Stones and Williams phenomenal value for their new teams! Got a huge defence now.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Guess what? So has everyone else 😉

      2. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Williams isn't that great value

        1. GinjaWhinja
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Have you seen his bonus points? He is guaranteed 3 every game.

          1. Ruth_NZ
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            114 BPs in a season? Wow, I had better get him then. 😕

          2. Kroosin'
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            That was in Swansea.

          3. Annie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            sure, guaranteed....

        2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Horrible pick

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Surely not when fixtures are good?

            1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              I hate the guy as a fantasy player. Not to mention that there are 2 (soon to be 3) everton defenders i'd rather own

      3. Pap Le Cissier
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You could add Kone to that list of the rumours are to be believed

        1. GinjaWhinja
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Why what's happening with Kone? Playing center forward?

          1. Pap Le Cissier

            EVERTON IN FOR KONE

            Sky sources understand Sunderland defender Lamine Kone is this morning on Merseyside as negotiations continue over a potential move to Everton.

            One source has told us Everton placed the bid of £18m more than a week ago – however our sources at Sunderland have denied any bid has been received.

            We can trace the issues back to the departure of Sam Allardyce, who it is suggested had agreed to improve the central defender’s contract if Sunderland survived relegation.

            However the arrival of David Moyes has meant priorities have shifted and a new offer has not been forthcoming.

            1. Pasqualinho
              • 16 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              That's going to muddy the waters a lot for Everton's starting CBs. I thought they were going to buy williams or Kone - not both.

    8. MW
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is Holding likely to start for Arsenal? at least until others return from injury?

      1. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Don't pick any Arsenal defenders to start with.

      2. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Decent chance, but fixtures not great, not worth the risk imo

      3. MW
        • 9 Years

      First and hopefully only RMT after tinkering till my fingers bled!

      How's this looking?

      Foster-Jaku

      Valencia/Shaw-Walker(Or other 5.5)-Williams-Kone-4M(Amat/Lenihan/Smith)

      Hazard-Lamela-Tadic-Gradel-Redmond

      Aguero-Ibra-Gray

      Mahrez or Firmino?

        • 13 Years

        Firmino

      RMT out of 10 please:

      Courtois, Jakupovic
      Valencia, Stones, Williams, Masuaku, Amat
      Hazard, Firmino, Ayew, Redmond, Capoue
      Aguero, Vardy, Gray

        I wouldn't be banking on Stones and Williams playing

          who is starting ahead of Stones?

          1. adstomko
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Changed it. Targett and Souare instead of Masuaku and Amat

    12. Sweden11
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A) Kane and Coutinho
      B) Lukaku and Mahrez
      C) any other combo for 18m

      1. RichieW
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Costa & Firminho

    13. GinjaWhinja
      • 16 Years

      Will Ayew replace Carroll up front?

      1. Sjaugen

        Likely no. 10

      RMT please:
      Adrian - Mandanda
      Shaw - Stones - Morgan - Kone - Evans
      Hazard - Martial - Ayew - Townsend - Hojbjerg
      Aguero - Musa - Gray

      1.0m ITB

      Issues:
      a) Would like to bring an Arsenal attacker in
      b) Morgan's only in as a place-holder for an Everton CB - can anyone convince me that there is a case for Williams starting?

      1. JIM BOB

        Martial ---> Ozil can be an early transfer?

    15. Ian Davis
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Current team:

      Foster / Jakupovic

      Shaw / Terry / Stones / Friend / Paredes

      Hazard / Firmino / Redmond / Lamela / Capoue

      Aguero / Ibra / Gray

      Any suggestions?

      *I'm thinking of possibly having Deulofeu instead of Lamela.

    16. JIM BOB

      Assuming transfers go through, what if the best option at 5m defender now then?

      Williams (Everton)
      Jevans (Arsenal)
      Stones (Man City)

      Foster (Jaku)
      Stones, Shaw, McAuley (Friend, Mee)
      Hazard, Redmond, Mahrez, Deulofeu (Capoue)
      Ibrah, Aguero, Gray

      A'noon all, Any thoughts?

      1 - Is Paredes nailed?
      2 - Coleman, VVD or Williams ?
      3 - A - 4.5 Mid & 4.5 GK or B - Routledge (5m) & Jakup (4m)

      Cheers !
