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.

    Ayew at West Ham, will he play as a winger now or striker?

    Stones at City....I'm thinking he will not play first gameweeks and drop 0.5 in value....

    1. CostaCoffee
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Striker

      1. Alexis Nonsense
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ok, my thoughts wast that if Carrol has Ayew and Payet behind him, he will score goals...

        If Carrol kept his form and played 3000min last season he would have gotten 18 goals....

        So how confident are you about Ayew as striker?

    2. Milner4eva
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He'll walk into the team

    3. Top 210 Club
      10 years, 2 months ago

      He will start 100%

    4. TheSteel
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Stones will play. Most expensive defender purchase.

  2. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Sigurdsson or Ayew?

    1. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Siggy

      1. TaiwanHC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Why?

  3. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Shaw or Valencia?

    Baines or Stones?

    1. Milner4eva
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Valencia Stones

  4. RVP20
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Rate my team please.

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

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    2. Eddie

      10 years, 2 months ago

      Thought I'd just responded to this.

      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.

  5. Costa's Counsellor
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Sooooo, how do you get the RMT tool to pick a squad for £100m?

    1. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I just became a member too, if you find any cool things to share with me, give me a shout!

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Best team is 329.33

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        10 years, 2 months ago

        You tease.

  6. Milner4eva
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Bottomed so re-post:

    Pre-season bandwagons set to crash and burn:

    Redmond: when everyone realises he's average and doesn't score that many FPL points
    Williams: when he isn't even in the squad for GW1
    Ibra: when he doesnt get a kick against Bournemouth because he has half the time on the ball that he's used to

    any more?

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Well that's my team doomed then and that's not taking into account Stones not starting Koné staying at Sunderland and and Hazard reverting to doing nothing.

  7. Paddy D
    10 years, 2 months ago

    A: Tadic + Feg + Ibra

    B: Kane + Ayew + Redmond

    1. danishdynamite
      10 years, 2 months ago

      B all day long

    2. MGD

      cheers all, will go A just don't know much about feghouli, should be right

  8. reason17
    10 years, 2 months ago

    RMT/10 please

    De Gea -Jaku
    Terry - Stones - Morgan - Friend - taylor
    Mahrez - Tadic - Martial - Bolasie - Capoue
    Aguero - Costa - Gray

    1. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 2 months ago

      7/10

    2. bigbudgie
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Don't like Costa Mahrez (after Sunday/transfer rumours) Martial Bolasie

      Needs a rethink IMH

  9. danishdynamite
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Right. I'm done. Off to make a brew and relax until the deadline*

    The usual 4.5 / 4 combo
    Shaw / Stones / Evans / Friend / SMith
    Mihkit / Hazard / Ayew / Redmond / Højberg
    Aguero / Kane / Carrol

    Any HUGE problems with this lot?? A bit punty on Mihk esp after benched in Ch. Sheild but that's my only risk. I think

    *yeah, right

    1. Milner4eva
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Dont see the value in the Miki punt, also Redmond is massively overhyped round here, he isnt actually even good

      1. stat
        10 years, 2 months ago

        At 6m, who do you think is a better investment than Redmond?

        1. Gazpilicueta
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Gradel + £0.5

        2. Milner4eva
          10 years, 2 months ago

          No-one, I don't like any mids cheaper than Townsend at 6.5

          Maybe Routledge for a punt

        3. BaasB
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          What about Deulofeu?

      2. CostaCoffee
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Wrong about Redmond.. hes always been gold whenever Ive had him

      3. EspanYOLO
        10 years, 2 months ago

        The point about Redmond is he's playing OOP?

        1. Milner4eva
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Don't think it helps, just makes him less suited to his position and he will probably look even less convincing

          1. Top 210 Club
            10 years, 2 months ago

            He looked saints most dangerous player other day had most shots on

      4. danishdynamite
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Thx

    2. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      don't like Mihkit, or Ayew + Carrol together, Redmond.

    3. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I like the Redmond punt, haven't seen him recently, but always looked bright for Norwich. Happy to see what he can do upfront, will drop him if falls flat.

  10. smifler10
    10 years, 2 months ago

    De Gea - Pickford
    Baines - Stones - Shaw - Friend - Evans
    Hazard - Townsend - Ibe - Deulofeu - Fischer
    Aguero - Ibra - Gray

    Too heavy loaded at the back?

    Hazard or De Bruyne?
    Deulofeu or Siggy or Tadic?
    Gray or Austin?

    1. Andrew
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Much too heavy, midfield is suffering

    2. michaelpmurphy
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I think your squad is solid in DEF and FWD. The Mid take a little of a hit to get both Ibra/Kun... but great play for GW1

      Hazard
      I'm on Siggy and Tadic
      Gray looks like a scrapper, similar to Austin I suppose when he was with QPR years ago

      1. smifler10
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks.

        Debating taking out Baines for a cheaper 4.5 option (?) and then swapping Deulofeu for Siggy or Tadic.

  11. CostaCoffee
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Heaton (Jaku)
    Shaw Azpi Friend (Evans Smith)
    Hazard Mhki Mahrez Redmond (Capoue)
    Gray Aguero Musa
    0.5 ITB

    Think Musa could be explosive but could also get only 1pt.. Risk im willing to take.
    May take out Mahrez for Oezil when fit
    Thoughts?

    Pls RMT:

    Kun l Vardy l Gray

    Thanks!

    1. sentz05
      10 years, 2 months ago

      How are you justifying Sanchez's price tag?

      1. The Man Pastore
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Just a feeling that he is gonna start well. He might play upfront too. I think he is going to be involved a lot in the Arsenal points

      2. Jøssy ⭐
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Possibly the best midfielder in the entire FPL

  14. Kostja
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Hi guys

    I am just lurking and wondering why there is no Routledge in peoples teams, with Ayew gone he should have a great window for minutes, he has been on form in preseason and swansea have some nice opening fixtures, could be a nice 5th mid.

    1. Milner4eva
      10 years, 2 months ago

      he could be, he's been in and out of my team but it's almost impossible to make any final decisions till he hear the pressers on friday

      1. Kostja
        10 years, 2 months ago

        They have got decent strikers now too, so a nice window for a good winger to get points

        1. Milner4eva
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Agreed, may well end up in my team on Saturday

        2. GENERATION X
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Might be worth keeping .5 in the bank, seeing how first game goes then if on get him for Hull (H)

  15. JordanHeald
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Best midfield option for £6m?

    Or should I downgrade a £5m defender to allow for a £6.5m? And who?

    Thanks!

    1. CostaCoffee
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Redmond

  16. Chris_White
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Swansea sign Atletico Madrid forward Borja Baston to replace Andre Ayew

    1. Dr Dream
      10 years, 2 months ago

      What position does he play?

      1. Chris_White
        10 years, 2 months ago

        CF

        1. Dr Dream
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Is he any good?

          1. Chris_White
            10 years, 2 months ago

            he was v good in la liga last season, 18 goals for eibar in 36

            1. Dr Dream
              10 years, 2 months ago

              Mmmmm.

    2. Slam
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Decent signing

    3. Kostja
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Isnt he a full on central striker I cant see him and Llorente playing together much.

      1. Camp No No
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah, it must be either/or, so pretty much eliminate each other as FPL assets, at least initially.

      2. ricardo_vaz
        10 years, 2 months ago

        He's more mobile than Llorente, I wouldn't be surprised if Swansea started both.

    4. Chris_White
      10 years, 2 months ago

      18 goals for Eibar last season.

    5. Top 210 Club
      10 years, 2 months ago

      The new michu

  17. sentz05
    10 years, 2 months ago

    What's peoples thoughts on Iwobi?

    1. ricardo_vaz
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Too much competition for places, he'll need an injury crisis to get a run in the team

  18. Areid13
    10 years, 2 months ago

    if musa was nailed that'd make my life a lot easier...

    1. CostaCoffee
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Im going for him.. could be great vs hull even if sub

      1. Areid13
        10 years, 2 months ago

        i'd like to but knowing my luck he'll let me down although he'll probably come on at ht and score a goal or two

  19. Zoostation
    10 years, 2 months ago

    This would really all be much easier if there was just one nailed 4.0 defender.

    1. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 2 months ago

      really? I'm curious as to why, I mean, are you going to play them? surely they will sit on the bench....so who cares if they do or do not play?

      1. Gazpilicueta
        10 years, 2 months ago

        or that back up 2 points just too good of a safety net?

      2. Zoostation
        10 years, 2 months ago

        lol fair enough.

        false sense of security I guess that if needed they at least play.

        but yes buried at the end of the bench.

  20. BaasB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    10 years, 2 months ago

    You know the drill 😉

    Foster | Jakupovic
    Friend | Shaw | Souaré | Walker | Kingsley
    Hazard | Lamela | Tadic | Deulofeu | Fletcher
    Ibrahimovic | Agüero | Negredo

    Bank = 1.0m

    1. Gazpilicueta
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Personally I would get rid of Negredo and upgrade Jaku, nice team tho

      1. BaasB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Yeah unsure of the 6.5m attacker. At least Negredo has the fixtures. Long looks good, but dont want long and tadic

    2. Armchair Quarterback
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Good team but why the money in the bank?
      With three pricey players there you can already pivot to whoever hits form really easily. Upgrade Jak or Souare.

      1. BaasB
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Thanks for the reply...

  21. Milner4eva
    10 years, 2 months ago

    People honestly think that Pep will start Kolarov or Fernandinho at CB over his new 42 million quid signing who has had a decent amount of pre season minutes?

    Why?

  28. @FuzzyWarbles
    10 years, 2 months ago

    Just checking,

    I have him in a draft league - does Nicolas Otamendi have zero chance of starting for City?

    1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Well done for entering everything correctly. Thanks! 🙂

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        10 years, 2 months ago

        How's that Doos? I don't follow. Did I miss something. Its a frantic week for me. I dont know my ass from my elbow.

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day
      10 years, 2 months ago

      Eh? He'll start 90% of games.

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        10 years, 2 months ago

        ok, that is good to know! How soon is Kompany fit (temporarily)? 😉

    3. THE Wild Rover
      10 years, 2 months ago

      I think he will partner Stones until Kompany is fit

      1. @FuzzyWarbles
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Ok so he will partner Stones until Kompany comes back and injures himself in his first game back then Otamendi starts again. That sounds good for me. 🙂

        Nah. 0 mins in pre season. Looks unlikely to start gw 1.

      3. Bubz

        ...this Hoorn chap?

        1. Netley Lucas

          Amat & Fernandez are now the 1st choice CB's atm.

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Nah. 2/3 of Fernandez, Amat, Van De Hoorn. Hopefully he will start but not guaranteed.

          Taylor left and Rangel right?

          1. Nabs Kebabs

            Rangel is almost 34. Doesn't have much left in the old legs.

            Naughton will play at the start of the season. probably RB. Alternatively they could play Rangel RB and him LB gw1 if they decide they don't want to throw Kingsley into the deep end at LB. Naylor will play LB when fit. RB will be Naughton with Rangel occasionally long term.

      Naylor, Rangel, Naughton.

      1. Christina.
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Rangel prob safest.

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          10 years, 2 months ago

          no way. Naughton is easily the safest.

          10 years, 2 months ago

          I like Rangel the best too.

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        10 years, 2 months ago

        Doos how could this possibly work. You have listed 3 full backs competing for 2 spots.

        1. Doosra - ☭BowenOfRice☭
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          10 years, 2 months ago

          Naylor will play CB.
