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.

    Anyone fancy Ayew now he's gone to West Ham? Could be a decent 7.5 midfielder

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep but not until the hammers team gets a little settled and we see where ayew plays

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

      Just took him out.

    3. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      I think he looks hotter in white

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

      I do! As long as he starts I think West ham way of playing will suit him excellent

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

        Also think he will get the chance early as Lanzini and Payet probably won't play

    5. NissA
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm expecting the points to be spread, he won't be that much of a focal point he was at Swansea.

    6. El Cube
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Too early to decide. I prefer Feghouli as 5th MF atm. Rotates well with Redmond

      1. El Muñeco
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Way too pricy for 4th and 5th mids, especially if you intend to rotate them

    2. Mets

    Got a feeling West Ham are going to fly out of the blocks again. Just a matter of where the points land.

    1. Latchmere Wave Machine
      • 11 Years

      You're making it very hard for me to copy your team...

  7. Buck The Trent

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Safe or punty option ?

    A Ramirez, Gradel/Feghouli

    or

    B Redmond, Routledge

    1. UnitedFan

    rooney & lukaku look good on paper

    but cant help thinking ibra with someone like long will score more, what do we thing?

    A) rooney & Lukaku

    B) Ibra & Long (or any other 6.5m striker)

    1. LC1
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ibra & Gray

    Out of the loop regarding Chelsea's set up: How are Oscar and Cesc looking for GW1?

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

      Cesc probably the more nailed on of the two. Oscar has scored a few in pre season. Can't see him getting a first team place.

      1. internal error

        Atm id say its the other way round

  10. Flynny

    Hi....so what is the deal with stones and Williams....

    Are people putting themail in their teams from the off??

    Backline as follows looks nice..

    Shaw stones Williams kone friend

    Thanks.

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Stones yes, Williams not yet.

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Kone maybe on his way to everton as well

    3. El Muñeco
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      my backline atm, will wait and see on Kone/Williams

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

      I have this defence with Courtouis and Valencia for Shaw

  11. Cantona90
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is it an expensive risk to have Azpilicueta over Terry? Higher ownership at 13.6% so if someone emerges in a lower price bracket or people need to free up funds he may be disposed of.

    1. Cantona90
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Swear I am invisible on this site sometimes

      1. devils advocate

        Who said that?!!

    2. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      i think i am sticking with my azpil change, took out VVD for stones then upgraded baines to azpil

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I've gone Azpi.

      He's likely to be the highest scoring Chelsea defender based on Conte's style of play. He should deliver assists and some baps, you would think.

      He can also be downgraded to another premium defender easily enough.

      And you are not invisible on this site.

  12. crease123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Does this lineup makes you wet or nah?

    Foster (Jak)
    Baines Shaw Friend (Amat Paredas)
    Hazard Walcott Tadic Townsend Redmond
    Aguero Ibrahimovic (Rhodes)

    1. Cantona90
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not in the slightest

      1. Ha.

      Tough crowd. Well, what changes would you good folks suggest that will make you gushing?

    7. devils advocate
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm moist but that has nothing to do with your team.

      I'm just very very dirty.

    8. U n I t e d
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wet myself laughing yeah

  13. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Willian first choice?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You'd assume so.

  14. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Remember folks, players who seem template on here who have very little ownership in the game as a whole are the most likely to plummet in price early on. Theo last year is the prime example, but who next? Redmond and Deu prime targets today.

    1. Cantona90
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      No. If they have low ownership they're less likely to plummet aren't they?

      1. Baines on Toast...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        No. It is based on percentage of their owners who sell.

        100K people sell Kun, it's 0.1. The same sell Redmond it's 0.3.

  15. #23
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Mahrez to Chelsea?

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

      If he does, you can consider that a divhorse.

      1. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Nice.

    2. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      odds have shortened, was supposed to be going to Arsenal 2 weeks ago

    3. #23
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think I will leave him out of team, his head is not in the right place at the moment it seems like

      1. thepeen555
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        this is a good idea - im staying away until after the TW shuts

  16. Beavis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Any love for Puncheon?

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

      Will he start? Him or Jedinak if Benteke signs

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

      Just the horse kind, hate donkeys.

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

      I assume Bolaise and Townsend are going to start and him and Zaha are going to fight it out for the last spot

  17. ehg
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Right, I think I'm *finally* there with this team... any thoughts gratefully received.

    Foster (Mannone)
    Shaw / Stones / Morgan (Friend / Brad Smith)
    Hazard / Firmino / Lamela / Redmond (Capoue)
    Aguero / Ibrahimovic / Gray

    Planning to transfer Morgan for an Everton defender after GW1, depending on which of Williams, Mori or Kone seem most nailed.

    Haven't seen many people mention Brad Smith at Bournemouth as a playing 4.0 defender, but he's started in pre-season and looks a decent option to me... worth swapping for Amat or Wilson at Stoke though?

    1. Tim2012
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Really similar to my team so clearly your onto a winner!

  18. Ten Season Wonder
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Siggy or Lamela?

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

      Lamela! Think Siggy is in a lack of match fitness

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Prefer Siggy but only if he actually plays, which isn't certain at this point.

    3. Ten Season Wonder
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      thanks both

  19. adidasOriginals
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Many opting for Hazard this weekend?

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

      Yes

    2. I am 42
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      haz is season keeper

      1. KOLASINA(C)
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        There is no such thing as season keeper

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

          What about David De Gea, won't he be a keeper all season?

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

      He in my team and if he starts poorly can easily be sold for Mahrez/Ozil/Payet once the season up and running

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

      Well there are 1,778,217 players at the moment and Hazard a percentage ownership of 16.4%. I've crunched the numbers for you and have come up with 291,627 and a half managers have opted for the Belgian.

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

        nice work chum. don't care for the casuals though who would feature heavily on your fine stats

    5. Swan - Villa Proud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

    6. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      oh yes!

  20. How Mina You
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Willian too much of a risk with Pedro and Cuadrado? If so, would you pick Oscar or Fabregas instead? Hazard at 10m is too steep for me.

  21. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Really don't know who I should get as second expensive defender currently I'm stuck on Rose ( all ready have Valencia ) but is Rose the way to go?

    1. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You could downgrade to stones and get coleman instead of a 4.5

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

      Stones, coleman all good choice

    3. thewhitepele
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Quite confident on several spurs cs with the favorable schedule. Why not Walker instead of Rose and use the .5 somewhere else? Both nailed to start and both with the same risk of rotation come ucl.

  22. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Stones start for Man City ? Is he a good option?

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

      Should do.
      What happened to Otamendi..he was great in spain a couple of seasons ago

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

      City defence isn't the strongest, wait and see

    3. bigbudgie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      wait and see for me
      Will still be a good price if City get it together and he is nailed.

  23. Swan - Villa Proud

    Need help completing this lot. There are many combinations, but these are the ones I like. Leaning D atm

    Foster, Jaku

    A) Stones, Deulofeu, Redmond, Tadic, Costa

      Leaning B, sorry

    2. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I've gone also with Kane but I don't know if it's a good idea to dubbel up on the Spurs with Kane and Eriksen

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Could go with Tadic or Ayew and spend the extra on Mee->Stones

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

        Cheers. Double saints has me worried a bit, so may do C

    5. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      On B atm but there's a fair chance I'll change as double Southampton is risky. If they blank GW1 then they're a likely price drop risk for GW 2.

    6. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B but can you do Lamela instead of doubling up on Southampton mids?

      1. Swan - Villa Proud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes, by either Tadic->Lamela or Redmond+Stones->Mee and Lamela

    C) Williams

    2. ricardo_vaz

      I'm sticking to Morgan until it's certain that Stones is starting at City

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

        The most Stones will sit out is 1 GW.

        After that he should be nailed on in City's defence.

    Hi Guys, really appreciate some feedback ..

    Foster

    Shaw / Stones / van Dijk

    Mkhitaryan / Deulofeu / Hazard / Redmond

    Ibrahimovic / Aguero / Gray

    Subs - Capoue / Paredes - 4m?

      Would be surprising to see Mkhitaryan the first game tbh

      Looks good, having 2 defenders that cost 4m is risky do if they don't play

    Genuinely believe Siggy will play GW1. He is too important not to...

      Players can come back from months out with injury and get good game time... Could be a big mistake dropping him is all
