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.

    Was pretty easy to fit Ayew in. May even go Alli instead of Firmino:

    Foster - Heaton
    Valencia - Dann - Stones - Kone - Friend
    Hazard - Firmino - Ayew - Redmond - 4.5
    Aguero - Vardy - Negredo

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

      No Spurs cover is a bad idea I reckon, but also is no Liverpool cover... 😛 Spurs will run riot GW2. Kane hat-trick.

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

        I dont have Spurs cover... Not sold on Kane yet

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

          "Not sold on Kane" ... We spotted the Arsenal fan... 😆

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

            😆

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

      Ayew in West Ham is different to Ayew in Swansea...or I am missing something?

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

        Makes him a bit less appealing in West Ham, since there a whole lot of other options, whereas at Swansea he seemed more of a protagonist. I'm staying away for now.

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

          this

      2. Boris Bodega
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        West Ham just bought him from Swansea.

    3. Nap
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      what's your thoughts on

      A. Dann-> 4.5 & Vardy->Kane

      or

      B. Heaton->4.0 + Dann->Williams + Vardy->Kane

  3. Kaptenen
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) Lamela + Shane Long 0.5itb
    B) Tadic + Grey

    currently having Tadic and Grey but no Spurs coverage so that worries me most..

  4. sentz05
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Rate my team please:

    Foster Jaku

    Pieters Baines Sourae McCauley Friend

    Hazard Iwobi Tadic Zaha Fletcher

    Aguero Ibra Vardy

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

      Very punty in midfield. Will Iwobi even start? I'd downgrade one of your forward to a 6.5 and get Firmino or a Spurs mid

      Cheers TM Reckon it could break 2K by kickoff?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Outside chance by this time tomorrow.

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

        3k by kick off I'd say

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Doubt it. Might be lucky to get 3K for season.

  6. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I know it gets said a lot here as a joke but I genuinely think Ramirez is essential.

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

    Hey guys, would appreciate a RMT 🙂

    Forster - Valdes

    Azpi - Valencia - Stones - Friend - Amat

    Mkhitaryan - Silva - Ibe - Redmond - Leko

    Aguero - Ibra - Gray

    Really not sure about how much I've had to sacrifice in midfield for Aguero/Ibra combo.

    And not sure about Mkhitaryan or Silva. Thoughts?

    1. Areid13
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Martial from the start as mkhi will probably be eased in, silva could be good with kdb out for the first week at least but once he's back I don't see silva getting as many points

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

        How has Nolito been looking pre-season? Likely to start and get minutes?

    2. dja81
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Mhki being eased in.Jose likes lingard if he is fit for the weekend and better options than silva

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

        Who would you suggest instead of Silva?

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

          Alli, Erickson, Mahrez (if you have cash)

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

    This draft is 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

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

      Swan loves the D

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

      I don't like this at all.

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

        Too many risks in midfield?

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

          No, looks too much like my current draft.

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

        Why?

    3. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Looks good.
      Think Shaw is more nailed than Valencia with Darmian waiting.
      Liverpool don't have the best start but he could still be a good pick
      Question marks over Redmond, Ayew and Delefeu

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

        Cheers. Pool playing Arsenal and their depleted back line.

  10. Chef Ramsey

    Thoughts on llorente?

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

      Didn't do much at Sevilla, he's been on a steep downhill lately. Still a massive aerial threat though.

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

    Pogba 4.3% already and climbing

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

      I remember when he was 0.0%... 🙄

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

      Let it climb. I'll put him in to get the bandwagon rolling, and jump off on Saturday morning.

  12. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Stones or Baines?

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

    When will Team News update?

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

      I heard rumblings of Thursday

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

        Ta

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

    Upon further reflection, I think Liverpool's first 2 fixtures are quite strong from an attacking POV.

    Arsenal with half their defence out than promoted team Burnley.

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

      True

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

      Thats why im considering Roberto and origi. Question is how nailed belgian is...

    3. dja81
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Your also forgetting how much possesion arsenal have high up the pitch..won't be all Liverpool coz a couple of defenders are injured

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

        Did you watch Liverpool Barcelona?

        If they play like that Arsebal have no chance IMO.

        I'm almost tempted to go Mane and Firmino as firmino is play OOP and mane was electric.

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

          Friendly match. Did you see Liverpool - Mainz?

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

            Yeah, whole team changed pretty much.

            I get that it's a friendly but you don't just beat Barcelona 4-0.

            The level of intensity was amazing.

            If liverpool do that versus arsenal I honestly think they will struggle to cope, especially with loads of injuries in defence.

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

      Exactly, especially after how we played against Barcelona.

      Arsenal are going to struggle to keep the ball IMO.

      If we trounce their midfield we should easily get through there second rate defence

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

    Somebody said something about a sticky from last night that said Souare should be okay to start the season? But I can't find it?

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

      I don't know where it is or who posted it but he nailed

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

        Im more worried about the injury

      1. Bubz

    Is Targett nailed on? I remember he was a really frustrating rotation risk last season!
    Dont want to take another chance so early on.

    1. Sjaugen
      • 10 Years

      Should start while Bertrand is out injured

  19. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Lukaku injured (?) and might leave Everton. Who dares to pick him?

    1. Swans4life
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Chelsea

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

        So if he leaves Everton for Chelsea, nothing changes with the price or anything?

  20. Andrew
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on Stones at £5m now he's moved?

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Bargain. I'm not sure he'll start GW1 though, but I'll still have him

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

      I'm going for him. Not sure he'll play GW1, but after that he could be best route into City defence.

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

      Outstanding value. Should start Saturday but I worry if he's nailed long term. Taking the risk for now

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

      I don't like him, I think he is overrated

    5. dja81
      • 9 Years

      Yep he cheap but won't score many points..full backs who go forward all the way

  22. Bobmarley121

    So the big question is ibrahimovic or Kane??

    1. John Colby (C)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Kane - proven in the EPL, better opening 6 fixtures, isn't approaching 35 in October.

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

      Kane is a sure thing. Zlatan is a gamble....

      Kane for me

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

        So I'm an Arsenal fan, and perhaps that means I am biased, but after the last game of last season and the way the Euros went, I think Kane will have lost a LOT of confidence. I am avoiding until he starts firing.

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

          Easy swap this way, harder vice versa without holding money itb

  23. RVP20

    Rate my team please.

    Foster (Jaku)
    Shaw, Stones, Terry (Friend, Smith)
    Hazard, Firmino, Tadic, Ramirez (Capoue)
    Aguero, Ibra , Gray

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

      I'll give it a resounding yes. I have Redmond in place of Ramirez, Val for Shaw, and 4.5 for Terry otherwise pretty much identical. Thus, i like it.

      1. RVP20

      Not sure Byram will start as Antonio may play def, llorente is a punt but could go well

  27. Sjaugen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Kane + Ayew or Ibra + Lamela hmmm
    Dembele suspended for the first 4 shouuuld make it easy...

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

      The first option - with the hope that Wanyama somehow fills that void.

  28. Zoostation
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is it worth getting in one of Coleman/Baines at the expense of having a 4.0 defender?

    1. Knowledgeable meerkat
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes IMO if it's just 1 4m defender

  29. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    £8.5m is actually a reasonable price for Pogba.

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

      Yeah, I thought he'd be around Ramsey's price.

  30. Areid13
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    pogba at 8.5 is a steal no?

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

      No.

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

      No.

    3. danishdynamite
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It's a reasonable price, but I'd be very surprised i Mihk at 9.5 didn't outstrip him for FPL points
