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.

    Stones is 5m for a City defender.

    Everyone will get him.

    He won't start GW1.

    Price will plummet.

    Get him cheaper for when he plays GW2.

    1. Ave It

      Shh

    2. Gazpilicueta

      I'm in

    3. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Why won't he start? He's fit enough based on pre-season and City are lacking in CB atm

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

        He might, but the above would be lovely, right?

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          It would indeed. Although, 0.1 max drop. I'd imagine most will be focused on whoever scores a brace/hatty

    4. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Fernandinho and Kolarov started at center back vs Arsenal. Stones is fit and will walk straight into the 11

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

        This is interesting...

      2. Costa's Counsellor

        Spoiler 😉

    5. President Giggs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I don't expect him to start regularly for a while unless Kompany gets injured again. Staying well clear for now.

  2. Ave It

    a) Hazard & Redmond
    b) Tadic & Firminho
    c) Tadic & Erikson

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Ave It
      • 12 Years

      I'd think about downgrading Mhki as you have Utd cover and upgrade one of the other midfielders?

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

        Downgrade Mkhi to Eriksen and
        Upgrade Gradel to Deulofeu
        Still have in the bank for GW1 transfer

        any suggestions?

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

      Upgrade Wickham with that 0.5 ITB. I like Gray or Negredo personally. Lots on here like Long/Austin too.
      Other than that, you look pretty good to go mate!

      1. oak_ac
        • 12 Years

        Cheers!

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

      That's a lot of faith in Man United, you're even going with 1 Minute Mickey. That midfield is an eyesore.

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

        Downgrade Mkhi to Eriksen and
        Upgrade Gradel to Deulofeu
        Still have in the bank for GW1 transfer

        any suggestions?

    4. David Juan
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Not a lot of love for Mkhi after the CS which leaves the midfield looking light IMO. I'd be looking at saving £1m on your keeper as well and re-investing it in midfield.

      Nice back 4 though and I like the Wickham differential with CPL fixtures... Too many teams looking so similar at the moment.

      1. oak_ac

        Downgrade Mkhi to Eriksen and

    why NO Mahrez for anyone ?! -_-

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

      looks sluggish, might be leaving leicester, Vardy looks stronger and more likely to score.

      neither for me

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

        No leicester?

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

          No Leicester

    2. Sanchit
      • 10 Years

      Did you see the community shield? He was off his colours

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

      Depending on who you speak to he's either:

      - Distracted by outside interest and will be rubbish.

      or

      - In the shop window and will be amazing.

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

        but if he's staying put, he's a must !! don't you think ?!

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

    I dont like MANU double up and also 2 weak midfielders

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

      thats nice....

    2. The Bandit

    4. Rupert The Horse

      Ok.
      What are your thoughts on leather pants?

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

    Punting on Oscar. Question is, get him instead of Hazard or double up? Three weeks only initially

    Ta 🙂

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

      I would suggest Willian over Oscar, set pieces and more nailed

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

        No thanks. Oscar probably on pens btw 😉

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

        Have you seen the last few games gaz? Oscar has actually been great ,and will defo start against wham if you ask me

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

          I have not......

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

          I think he will only definitely start and be worth investment in FPL if Conte plays 4-1-4-1 and not 4-2-4. Which do you think is the starting formation?

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

            http://goo.gl/9Xa0Dy

            4-3-3

    2. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm getting him instead.

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

      if WC'ing for sure after three weeks, then no need of double up.
      Otherwise you'll need to have hazard at some point or the other

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Double up if punting on Oscar. No reason to drop Hazard

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

      I think Oscar is class. And if Conte does too then he's worth a punt. Punting with Hazard might make more sense than without as an Oscar fail is a quick lateral move and you still have Chelsea cover.

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

      Personally Ive been burnt by Oscar too many times. Hazard's form towards the end of the season, his pre-season and probability of game time behind the striker puts him ahead of Oscar. I need to get off to a better start than last season when Walcott's inclusion meant an early wildcard in game week 3.

    sky: "Valencia are in talks with Manchester City regarding Eliaquim Mangala as a potential replacement for Arsenal target Shkodran Mustafi, according to the London Evening Standard.
    Manchester City will listen to offers for Mangala and Wilfried Bony as well as Samir Nasri, according to Sky sources.
    All three have been left out of Manchester City's squad for the forthcoming Champions League qualifiers."

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Really don't understand that with regards to Nasri. Every time he plays, he looks comfortable in a City shirt and often produces an assist/goal

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

        they have a lot players in mid, they sign Sane, Nolito etc.
        They need money to pay Stones transfer

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years

    Does somewhere list the amount of minutes players have played in pre seaosn matches? And if so, has Yaya featured for Pep's City yet?

  13. umerlfc
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    So will Amat be the best choice for 4m defender if Williams moves to Everton?

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ooo good spot. May just be

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ah. They signed Van Der Hoorn. Him and Fernandez are the CB pairing now.

        Amat an option until Fernandez is fit (soon)

    2. Kevin McCallister
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Great minds.....

  14. Kevin McCallister
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I Amat a 4m option now Williams has gone?

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

      The other one I think.

      They will probably sign someone though.

      1. Kevin McCallister
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        He's been playing there pre-season, so if they don't sign anyone he could be an option. I've had him in my draft for a while on the assumption Williams was off. We'll see....

  15. reason17
    • 10 Years

    A) Hazard + Vardy

      A

  16. Pumpkinhead
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can Stones start for Man City - I understand why they bought him but a bit of a waste of young talent if he just sits on the bench.

  17. My Name Is Prince

      Don't know, he's not even played for them yet.

    2. Swans4life

  20. So Troublesome

    Costa or Hazard?

    Costa's stats were decent last year despite the poor season for his team.

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

    Tadic or Redmond?

    1. Latchmere Wave Machine
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Redmond, cheaper + oop

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

        Is he playing alongside Long with Tadic at no.10 ?

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

      Tadić is on set pieces and all that, so him. Now, if you can find a better use of that extra 1.5, I'd give Redmond a chance.

    3. So Troublesome
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I think Tadic. Pens, free kicks and assists with goal potential.

    4. JÆKS ⭐
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If they were the same price: Tadic
      With the 1.5 difference: Redmond

    5. John Colby (C)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Tadic for me.

    1. Rupert The Horse

    I fancy Leicester and Everton to do well

    Got a feeling Hull and Sunderland are going to be slow

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

      Everton will lose on opening day

    2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years

    A or B ?

    A) Stones + non playing 4.0

    B) 2 x 4.5 defenders

      Paredes 19% ownership is a big risk.
      Watford will likely not do so hot against: sot - CHE - ARS - whm - MUN
      With early wildcards and viable options coming to the fore isn't it likely he'll be south of 4 mil by week 5 and a big headache to sort out as a result ?

        meant to be a post thinking about your 4mil option
        So if you go 4mil (go lightly owned)

        I'm not sure if i'm totally convinced by an appearance of Kane/Vardy/Aguero though.

    This defense suitable?

    Shaw Baines Stones Friend (4.0 currently Tarkowski)
