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.

    D Sully: “Last season when he played as a striker he scored six in eight. We were negotiating with Swansea for weeks.”

      Jags to go to sunderland. Funes back up to Kone and williams

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ah yes forgot Koné.
        I was wondering whether they might play 3 CB's actually?

        1. internal error

          Defo an option. Koeman did that at southampton and did that with everton in preseason

          1. Lovren an elevator
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I was assuming that's why he's getting 2 in and losing 1...but that was before I heard about the jags to Sunderland rumour...how likely is that?

    Aguero Kane Caroll

    1. Basil1977

      similiar to mine.

      DDG, Jakupovic,
      Stones, Kone, Evans, Friend, Mee,
      Hazard, Firmino, Barkley, Redmond, Fletcher,
      Kun, Kane, Carroll

      0.5 in the bank

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

      Maybe wait and see with caroll with Ayew maybe moving to west ham. Could take his place as striker

  6. Lovren an elevator
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Surely Evans is a better fpl prospect at wba than at arsenal?!

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

      Yeah. He will be back up if arse signs mustafi

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Even without mustafi, once Gabriel recovers surely Evans is a bench warmer?

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

          Not sure at all. Could as well start Kos and Evans.

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

      Nah, for the first few GW's with Kos not yet back and Gabriel and Per injured, Evans would be absolutely nailed on with or without Mustafi. And I doubt they'll buy both Mustafi and Evans.

      1. Lovren an elevator
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        So if they just get Evans, he could play alot of premiership games for arsenal this season? ...assuming he's not always injured

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

        Is Kos out that long?

        1. Lovren an elevator
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No he's back in training. I wouldn't be surprised if he only misses this weekends game. Especially as they're desperate for CBs

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

            Is he now. 2-3 days ago he was still on holidays wasn't he?

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

            Also, Wenger gave him a full month of holidays after the EC final, so seen that the final was 10 July and he announced that holiday from I think 14 or 15. So, based on that, he was at least not supposed to be back in training yet.

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

              Alright, so he is. Here:

              http://www.arsenalstation.com/2016/08/08/arsenal-boss-offers-koscielny-update-ahead-of-liverpool-clash/?

              Ok. I still don't think they'll buy both Evans and Mustafi, so if Evans signs, he's nailed on at least until Gab is back from injury, and possible starter even after it if it works well between him and Kos. And many will have played their wildcards before Gab is back anyway.

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

          Has he yet returned from his holidays? How long do you think it will take from him to be really ready to play full minutes? There surely are 2-3 GW's at least when Evans should be the first name in the defence line. Mustafi has missed the pre-season as well hasn't he? So Evans would be the only match ready CB at Arsenal, except for Chambers and Holding.

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

      looks great. perhaps switch Firms as the Pool have tricky start.

      Mahrez?

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

        Thanks for the feedback.

        I'm fairly confident Liverpool will beat Arsenal......as a Liverpool fan Mane looks very tempting.....so quick and will fit into Klopps attacking style very well.

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

      Everton mid?
      They've got a better opening set of fixtures

    When do the pressers start? Friday?

    1. Milner4eva

      They are Thurs and Fri I think

  9. Manani
    • 14 Years

    got 2m in bank, who should I upgrade,

    townsend or ramirez?

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

      Ramirez

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

      Firmino

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

        already got firmino

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

      Ramirez to Tadic

  10. SilverSpurs
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Mandanda start over Hannesey?

    1. A.T
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  11. Lone Wolf FPL
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Palace still doing everything to get Bentheke - good pick for FPL?
    Koulibaly is wanted by Chelsea - Terry rotation risk? (maby not GW 1)

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

      Would Benteke play from the start though? Need an indication from the manager before any of these late transfers go into my team.

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

      Go for azpi, benteke would be a great pick

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

    Wouldn't it be nice if journalists straight up asked managers "Is X nailed from GW1 on?". Would save a lot of thinking on my part.

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

      We need a FPL journalist.

      Very good team but no Aguero.....

    Do you have a "bandwagon" spot? Currently Gradel and 9.5m is dedicated to midfield bandwagons

    Koné expected to start if he does move to Everton?

      Yes but maybe not gw1

      1. Simon69

        Ta! Fuenes Mori to make way for Koné then?

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years

          Maybe?

          1. A.T
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Long term yes. Could play 3 at the back though. The new signings should be first choice.

            1. Simon69
              • 13 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Thanks. Saw Everton vs Utd in Rooney's testimonial & thought they were v solid defensively so hoping to go w/ Koné if he moves there.

  19. mranonymous
    • 11 Years

    Players can come back from months out with injury and get good game time... Could be a big mistake dropping Siggy due to being rested pre-season...

  20. Dreaming of glory
    • 10 Years

    Valdes/Jaku

    Shaw / Stones / Mee / Kone / Amat

    Kun / Zlatan / Gray

    Will see what happens with stones & kone but think im set on the rest

      1. Revival

          yes I agree with both

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

      Arsenal need a much more defensive minded midfield, I predict something along the lines of...

      cech
      bellerin chambers holding monreal
      xhaka coquelin
      ox cazorla ramsey
      sanchez

  22. Milner4eva

    Just reset my team to auto pick and going to pick my team from scratch based on gut instinct once we have all the info from the pressers.

    Anyone else find that tinkering so much just makes their team worse?

  23. TMF86
    • 13 Years

    Any thioughts or suggestions on this:

    Foster/Jakupovic
    Shaw/Baines/Stones/Taylor/Paredes
    Gradel/Firmino/Hazard/Townsend/Feghouli
    Ibra/Aguero/Carroll

    Obviously, Stones is only dependent on him signing for CIty!

    PALACE IN TALKS FOR BENTEKE

    Crystal Palace are in talks to sign Christian Benteke from Liverpool. Palace have returned to the negotiating table after their £25m bid was turned down last month.

    Liverpool value the striker at £32m, and believe that is fair considering the prices currently being paid for players by Premier League clubs.

    Palace are keen to complete the deal before their first game of the season against West Brom on Saturday.
