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.

    Chadli to Swansea would be interesting. I like him @ 6.5

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Straight into my team if it happens.

    2. Swans4life
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      That would be a great buy for swans

    3. Ayew Serious
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, let's not forget it's been a season and a half since he's shown any form

    4. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Has he had much pre-season? Only 2 good fixtures and if he's only a cameo in one of them, he's a bad pick

  2. Ziro
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I am never not going to have Hazard, and if that means I cannot have Vardy while not leaving out having at least 2 premium defenders, one out which is not less than 5.5 and the other not less than 5.0, would you not have Eriksen instead of just not having Lamela?

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Read it three times.

      No idea what you mean, sorry.

    2. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Most confusing sentence ever

    3. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      apologies, the last not should not be there.

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I actually enjoyed trying to understand it. 🙂

    4. Gazpilicueta
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      never not = always

      the rest of the really really long sentence = Eriksen or Lamela plus cash for defence

    5. ADucksBehind
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think that's the record for most double negatives ever used in a sentence

    6. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ahahaha, mate, what on earth was that?

    7. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      (Gets enigma machine out)

    8. MANGE TOUT RODNEY
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Too many 'nots'

  3. micsway
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Stones vs. Morgan?

    1. Zero fuchs shay given
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Stones.

    2. My Name Is Prince
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Would be quite a match!

  4. Bambi
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    who are the 4.0M defenders most likely to start?

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Amat

    2. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      None are nailed but Amat at Swansea maybe now Williams has gone

  5. Smurf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Now Everton have agreed a fee for Williams. Do we expect Kone will stay with Sunderalnd or will they go for another CB purchase too?

  6. Bubz
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What's Evs team then?

      2. Ziro
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Has the wrong team linked anyways and hasn't yet formed his team apart from 4-5 definites.

    2. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ibra and Kun

  7. Sheeeit
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    10.5 to spend on 2 defenders. Who would you go for?

    1. Swan - Villa Proud
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw/Valencia + Willaims when he moves

      1. Sheeeit
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        That's the way I was leaning. Cheers.

    2. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Stones and Valencia

      1. Bubz
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Or Williams

    3. I am 42
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      terry/shaw/valencia + stones

    4. micsway
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      who else you got?

    5. NissA
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      To say something different, Koné if he's going to Everton, and Asspiecutie

  8. Swan - Villa Proud
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    So is Mandanda unlikely to start GW1? Would rather him over Foster long term.

  9. reason17
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    RMT/10 please

    De Gea - Jaku
    Terry - Stones - Morgan - Friend - taylor
    Hazard - Tadic - Ayew - Lamela - Capoue
    Aguero - Vardy - Gray

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ayew might not start.. will require some time.

    2. makaveli123
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      8/10. Not sure about Ayew. Would consider Firimino.

  10. El-Kloppico
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How likely are the below players to start this 1st GW?

    1. Mikhitaryan
    2. Lukaku
    3. Stones for City?

    1. ADucksBehind
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1) 70%
      2) 95%
      3) 95%

    2. Swans4life
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Probably 2 if he stays

    3. Swan - Villa Proud
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      1: 50%
      2. 75%
      3. 90%

      imo

    4. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers.
      So you think Stones will sneak straight in the first team?

  11. makaveli123
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Leiceter win away at Hull for 2.05. Bargain!

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Really? Wow

      1. makaveli123
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Suprised me as well. Had to place a bet.

  12. Bobmarley121
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Why is everyone choosing gray have you seen burnleys first 3 fixtures!

    1. Jersey
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      SWA, LIV, che, HUL are the first 4.

      3 at home. Swansea w/ no Williams . . . Liverpool sketchy at the back . . . Hull at home.

      Looks good to me.

  13. PlayPercentage
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Some potential bargains:
    Walcot @ 7.5 -- No Cazorla, Wilshere, Ozil, so could start the early season games. Could be an early season hero.

    Funes Mori @ 5.0 -- Nailed on to start now Stones has left. Scored 4 goals last season and was on the bench for most of the games.

    Courtois @ 5.5 -- New Italian manager, Chelsea defence will be more solid this season.

    1. Limbo
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No. Never again. Nope. Nay. Nit.
      Maybe
      Ye

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No Cazorla?

      Mori nailed even with Williams?

    3. gdog22444
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Funes Mori not nailed whatsover....

    4. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Why no Cazorla?

      1. J0E
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Wenger said he was not fit enough for GWK 1 last week. May change though this week - keep an eye on press confs.

        1. Camp No No
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Why wouldn't he be? Looked good in pre-season. I think he may well deputise for Özil, and if so, he can be a fantastic early option.

    5. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Isn't 5.5 the most expensive GK in the game? Can't be called a bargain imo.

  14. iCon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Doosra about?

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

      Yes.

    2. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Sorry for the mix up. Thought I'd registered a while back!

  15. How Mina You
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Foster - Jakupovic
    Shaw - Stones - Cedric - Kone - Evans
    Sanchez - Martial - Willian - Lamela - Capoue
    Aguero - Musa - Gray

    0.5m ITB to bring Ayew in once we know where he fits into West Ham's system. Thoughts?

    1. PlayPercentage
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Two WBA players in defence?

      1. How Mina You
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Replaced Evans with Souare. How's that now?

  16. Costa's Counsellor
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Kun Vardy/Ibra Gray

    The Template is forming.

  17. Adds04
    • 12 Years

    Has anybody got any idea how city will play with thier midfielders, I have had a look but I can't even guess who will start!

  18. Fantasytom
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Will wasilewski start for LEI first game of season with huth out?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Fernandez might.

    2. Costa's Counsellor
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, but only one game.

    3. BRONALDINHO
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Hernandez seems to be the more probable choice

    4. napoli54
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      no

  19. Enzo the Baker
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    My biggest peeve with FPL is its captaincy rules : it's such a hit-or-miss and rewards luck more than anything. So I think I'll go with a team that covers all the big hitting captaincy options from FFS polls for the first 2-3 weeks and then pull the trigger on Wildcard once things settle.

    How does this look for a 2-3 GWs team ?

    Heaton
    Valencia Friend Evans
    Hazard Firmino Redmond Capoue
    Aguero(c) Ibra Kane

    Subs : Leko 4.0 4.0 Jakupovic

    Can captain/vice-cap Aguero/Haz and Kane/Ibra during alternate weeks - and cover the big captaincy choices.

    Defense looks flat but I'm okay playing Friend and Evans for the first couple of games (STO/cpl) and (sun/EVE). I don't see any 5.0 or 5.5 defs that catch my eye, apart from Valencia.

  20. OzilFozzil
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Stones, 4.0, 4.0
    vs.
    B) Friend, Targett, 4.0

    Quick fire A or B???

    1. Adds04
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No point in getting a 4.0 defender full stop!

    2. napoli54
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      B

    3. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      2 x 4.0 is asking for early -4

    4. OzilFozzil
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Got you!

  21. Cheeseoid

    Good Afternoon Everybody. Are we all settled and decided?

    1. Costa's Counsellor
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      LOL

    2. andy85wsm
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Kind of.

      I'm contemplating downgrading one of Valencia/Dann to do Vardy to Kane.

      I'm siding with Dann to stay currently....should probably stop tinkering

      1. Wimmer winner chicken dinne…
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        sounds like you are having similar thoughts to me. Who are you looking to have as your 4th mid right now? My latest has a space for a 7.5 if I downgrade Dann to a 4.5

    3. OzilFozzil
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      NO!

      A) Stones, 4.0, 4.0
      vs.
      B) Friend, Targett, 4.0

      😆

    4. Milner4eva
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Impossible to be done until we hear from the Thursday/Friday pressers

    5. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, even more determined after GW 3 to get the likes of Williams/Kone/Stones once the dust settles.

      For now, ball out.

      Kane/Kun/Vardy.

      yeah, that's how I roll.

    6. Areid13
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      no bc I thought pogba at 8.5 was guaranteed points until i was told he'd be more of a defensive mid

  22. Milner4eva
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Redmond will be a catastrophe. Can't say I didn't warn you 😛

    1. Bubz
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Whys that?

      1. Milner4eva
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He'll be benched at least once in the first 3 GWs and he's actually not even that good anyway.

  23. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Who plays in the hole at Bournemouth? Gradel?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Bournemouth don't play with a no.10

    2. Gazpilicueta
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Gradel is on the wing

    3. BRONALDINHO
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      King? I think Gradel & Ibe will be wingers

  24. Bambi
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    All out attack strategy. Saving nothing on the bench.

    Foster - Jakupovic
    Valencia - Baines - Stones - Smith - Amat
    Hazard - Firmino - Lamela - Townsend - Capoue
    Aguero - Ibra - Gray

    Thoughts?

    1. Teror
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      You've done it about as well as anyone can I think. I'd honestly rather downgrade someone by 0.5 and upgrade one of your 4.0 defenders to a 4.5

    2. Sanchit
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      why have 3 defenders for AOA?

  25. Teror
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A. Terry + Evans + Pieters (or any other 4.5)

    or

    B. Terry + Williams + Lenihan (who I will never, ever play)

    ??

  26. LewanGOALski
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    who do you prefer at 5,0M:

    A. Stones at City
    or
    B. Williams at Everton

    ??

    I am leaning B tbf, especially at the beginning of season...

  27. stat
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Foster / Heaton

    Funes Mori / Valencia / Morgan / Friend / Stones

    Mahrez / Redmond / Martial / Feghouli / Lamela

    Aguero / Gray / Lukaku

    In defence I'll have coverage from WBA / Burnley (goalies) and 3 of Everton / Man Utd / Leicester / Man City / Boro (defenders) per GW.

    Stones might have to fight Otamendi for a place later on, but Kompany won't be back for another month or so, so Stones is a pretty good buy for now I think. Similarly, there might be some competition between Funes Mori and Kone if that deal goes through, though Funes Mori will probably be favored based on how he did last season, and in case he loses his place I can easily get Williams (his lack of a pre-season makes me hesitant to instantly pick him up).

    Feghouli and Redmond are risks, but both look like they will be involved in the first few gameweeks, and they rotate very well too (WAT, BOU, SUN, WAT, SWA, SOU, MID, BUR, SUN). Redmond could also be played OOP, and Feghouli has apparently been West Ham's best player in pre-season.

    All of my attackers should be on penalties, while Mahrez, Martial and Lamela are all fantastic attacking threats who you can rely on to score and to assist.

    What do you guys think of this team?

    1. F4NTASY F00TBA11
      • 10 Years

      10/10 IMO fully agree with your points

  28. Paddy D
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts?

    Foster (Heaton)
    Shaw Stones Friend (Kone, Souare)
    Hazard Firmino Ayew Redmond (Capoue)
    Augero Kane Gray

    Cheers

    I really need your opinion on that team. Ive changed it many times and came back to the 1st draft

    Foster-4.0

    Valencia-stones-friend-terry*-4.0

    Hazard-sanchez^-redmond-fegouli*-4.5

    Augero-vardy*-gray

    *can be pieters and townsend/del
    ^can be mahrez and ibra

      Our defensive setup is identical except for a Everton defender for Terry.

      I'm struggling as well if it's ok to go with a 4.0 defender
