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
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Striker

      1. Alexis Nonsense
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 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
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He'll walk into the team

    3. Top 210 Club
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He will start 100%

    4. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Stones will play. Most expensive defender purchase.

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

    Sigurdsson or Ayew?

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

      Siggy

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

        Why?

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

    Shaw or Valencia?

    Baines or Stones?

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

      Valencia Stones

  4. RVP20
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 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.

      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
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    1. Gazpilicueta
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 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
      • 16 Years

      Best team is 329.33

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

        You tease.

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

    A: Tadic + Feg + Ibra

    B: Kane + Ayew + Redmond

    1. danishdynamite

      B all day long

    2. MGD

  8. reason17
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RMT/10 please

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

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

      7/10

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

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

      Needs a rethink IMH

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

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

      1. stat
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

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

            Gradel + £0.5

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

            What about Deulofeu?

        • CostaCoffee
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

        • EspanYOLO
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          The point about Redmond is he's playing OOP?

          1. Milner4eva
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 8 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
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

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

        • danishdynamite
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Thx

      2. Annie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

      3. Eddie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 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.

    2. smifler10
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 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
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Much too heavy, midfield is suffering

      2. michaelpmurphy
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 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
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Thanks.

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

    3. CostaCoffee
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 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?

        How are you justifying Sanchez's price tag?

        1. The Man Pastore
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 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 ⭐
          • 11 Years

          Possibly the best midfielder in the entire FPL

    6. Kostja
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 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
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 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
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

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

            Agreed, may well end up in my team on Saturday

          2. GENERATION X
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

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

    7. JordanHeald
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 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
        • 12 Years

        Redmond

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

      Swansea sign Atletico Madrid forward Borja Baston to replace Andre Ayew

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        What position does he play?

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

          CF

          1. Dr Dream
            • 13 Years

            Is he any good?

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

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

              1. Dr Dream
                • 13 Years
                9 years, 8 months ago

                Mmmmm.

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

        Decent signing

      3. Kostja
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

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

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

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

        18 goals for Eibar last season.

      What's peoples thoughts on Iwobi?

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

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

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

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

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

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

        1. Areid13
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 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

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

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

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

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

        2. Zoostation
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 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.

    12. BaasB
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 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
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

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

        1. BaasB
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 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
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 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.

    13. Milner4eva

      9 years, 8 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?

      1. ★Kuntheman★

      Any thoughts on this draft?

      Foster
      Shaw - Stones - Fernandez
      Hazard - Mahrez - Tadic - Lamela

        Mustafi?

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

        Hmm not convinced thats true, think Arsenal are playing it down so Mustafi price doesn't increase over night.

      Is there going to be a scoutcast before the season starts btw?

    20. @FuzzyWarbles
      • 15 Years

      Just checking,

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

        Well done for entering everything correctly. Thanks! 🙂

        1. @FuzzyWarbles
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 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
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Eh? He'll start 90% of games.

        1. @FuzzyWarbles
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

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

        I think he will partner Stones until Kompany is fit

        1. @FuzzyWarbles
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 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. 🙂

      Give me a starter in Swans def please.

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

        Naylor

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Has he had any pre season after Euro's?

        2. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

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

          Is his lack of preseason a concern?

      2. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Naughton

      3. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Jordi Amat.

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          ...this Hoorn chap?

          1. Netley Lucas
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

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

        2. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Taylor left and Rangel right?

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              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.

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

        Taylor?

      5. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        None, that team is sinking.

      6. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Naylor, Rangel, Naughton.

        1. Christina.
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Rangel prob safest.

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            no way. Naughton is easily the safest.

          2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            I like Rangel the best too.

        2. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

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

          1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Naylor will play CB.

      Is it me or does Ruth always want to cause drama?

      1. The Bandit

        No idea, everything he writes is too long to read 😉
