Rate My Team Update & Preview Movie

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.

    What do people think the likely "casual" players team will be?
    Is it worth playing "casually" at the beginning to keep up with Joneses?

      Does it matter?
      No, pick the team that will get the most points.

        True, but over thinking has always been one of my biggest flaws playing the game.

          I find at the beginning of the season I just play the fixtures and slowly gain data. Watch the bandwagons, watch the players who have caused the bandwagons and consider how long term they are. For team coverage I find it important to look at past base bps, which I feel pay off in the long term.

    Should you pick Pogba necessarily? What do you all mean?

    This draft is REALLY tempting me. Solid D and lots of OOP mids. Front 8 rotates pretty well for 4 weeks.

    Foster, Jaku
    Valencia, Stones, Friend, Kone, Souare
    Hazard, Firmino, Redmond, Ayew, Deulofeu
    Kun, Costa, Gray

      Why have either gray or red/del benched?

      I like it.

      I have same mid for same reason but have tadic
      I've opted for a KUn 6.5 6.5 and a stronger def (both valencia and shaw are my route to united C/S and maybe assists)
