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.

    Thoughts on this?

    De Gea
    Stones - Walker - Cedric
    Lamela - Mane - Martial - Feghouli - Firminho
    Aguero - Gray

    Jaku - Origi - Pieters - Amat

      Liverpool fan?

      1. woody3260
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yes. Normally avoid them really. But it's all about enjoying it this year. Fancy a fast start from us! Toying with Ibra, and fairly sure Origi will be benched. Even so - he'll still score

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

      quite good

    3. Squires FC
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm a liverpool fan but your crazy mate.

      1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This. Origi, Firmino and Mane are overkill esp with the earlier fixtures. Spread your risk. Lots of good options out there

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

    Thinking a big 4 team might be the way to begin. If you miss one that fires, it's tough to bring them in, if they don't then it's easy to jump on a couple of hot starts that are missed.

    Foster
    Shaw, Stones, Friend
    Alexis, Hazard, Redmond, Fischer
    Kun, Ibra, Gray

    Jakupovic, Francis, Amat, Capoue

    Is anyone adopting this tactic? If so, have you taken a more punt 3rd striker and spread some money elsewhere?

    1. Squires FC
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nice

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

    Also, while I'm at it. I've been a good boy. I think this is the first RMT I've done here. Any opinions other than the obvious "you're bench is too weak" would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Foster (Jakupovic)

    Shaw, Terry, Friend (Bradley Smith, Amat)

    Hazard, Mahrez, Tadic, Gaston (Capoue)

    Aguero, Zlatan, Gray

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

      What's your thinking behing Ramirez?
      Boro don't score many goals do they?

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

        i like Gradel as a 5.5 option, but I preferred Middlesbrough's opening run of fixtures. Any other 5.5's you like?

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

      Your bench is to weak. 😉

      I hate Ramiréz. And Terry. Amat not certain of minutes. Prefer Watson to Capoue.

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

        Nailed at #10 with good fixtures, could do much worse

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

          No, you really can't.

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

        Got any 5.5's you like Doos? Or even a 5.0 that can start every week and allow me to upgrade Terry to Ivanovic or Azpil?

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

          I have Watson, 4.5 ...

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

      don't trust Mahrez

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

        I don't think he can repeat last season but that opening fixture against Hull seems to beg some sort of Leicester coverage.

  4. Test Eagles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    West Ham's back four... who is nailed?

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

      Reid.

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

        West Ham has been gash defensively in the preseason... do you expect this to carry over?

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

          No, not at all. 🙂

  5. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Right I think I am done... I'm guessing this is pretty template-y:

    Foster Jaku
    Valencia Terry Stones Pieters Friend
    Hazard Firmino Tadic Townsend Capoue
    Aguero Vardy Carroll

    Can I Get a RMT?

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

      very nice

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

      Goodish. Not my cup of tea.

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You do like your differentials though..

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Im playing with firmino / Eriksen but unsure atm!

            Capoue???

    Post to all managers here who are non-members.

    http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/comment/13615224

    As there is Mini League for FFS members only I think that ML for FFS non-members is interesting idea as FFS non members are big part of this site community

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

      Why don't you just joing the official FFS league?

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

        I want to play with JUST non members - simple

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

    A) Barkley

    B) Deulofeu

    which do you prefer?!

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

      Tadic 😉

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

      A. He's going to troll us big time again.

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

      Really struggling with this. Think Barkley's more secure for minutes. Barkley for me

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

      Barkley.

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

      Barkley. No.10. Safe player and decent points last time.

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

    Think I'd sooner have Williams than Stones in real life. In fact Stones is a bit rubbish.

    A bit of emperor's new clothes going on at City I think.

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

      Aye, Pep's going to get shown up big time this year IMO

      1. Squires FC
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        This

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

      Stones is great, still a young lad. He's good and confident with the ball - that is something Pep like.

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

        He might be confident with the ball but he doesn't half make a lot of mistakes with it.

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Have to remember the kind of defenders that suit Pep's style though. After all, this is a guy who was talking about playing Fernandinho and Fernando back there. Plus City probably need some homegrown talent too. Stones is a good fit.

    4. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Wonder if Peps style of playing out from the back will work against teams in the EPL that'll hustle you, and aren't intimidated by the bigger teams?
      I reckon he'll have to alter his playing style. Personally a way bigger fan of Luis Enrique's style that involves a plan B to hit the occasional long ball.

  9. gdog22444
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    is there a 5 mil GK worth getting along with Jaku, or is there a better 4.5/4.5 combo?

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

      Foster, Heaton

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

    Rate my all eggs in 3 baskets team:

    4.5 - 4.0
    Bellerin - Evans - Stones - Williams - Koné
    Nolito - Silva - Cazorla - Mahrez - Walcott
    Kun - Hernandez - Diomande

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

      Abysmal

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

      Very unusual team, not my cup of tea. 🙁

    3. Eden Hazardous
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Finally someone apart from me owns Walcott!

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

        I'm afraid I have to disappoint you, but that's not my actual team. 😆

        I would never post it here.

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

          That said, if planning an early wildcard, Walcott may be a great pick. May be anyway, it's a simple move to someone like Tadic or Ayew when he drops to bench.

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

      If the expected transfers happen, it would be 5 City, 4 Arsenal, and an Everton double-up in defence.

      Which would probably be a disaster. 🙁

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

        And yes, with Jaku as 4.0, it's even three Hull players!!! Monstrous team!

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

          Making Bellerin Monreal, I could even have an Everton GK on goal to make it a team completely made of 4 clubs' players, literally all eggs in 4 baskets!

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

        *5 Arsenal, 4 City, of course. Supposing Mahrez goes to Arsenal and not to City.

  11. Jack The Rifle
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Jakupovic/Foster

    Pieters Stones Valencia Friend Amat
    Townsend Tadic Feghouli Hazard Capoue
    Kane Aguero Vardy

    Tried to fit in the 3 big attackers with penalty-duties. Any comments?

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

    Any thoughts chaps?

    Valdes
    Valencia Stones VvD
    Mahrez Tadic Redmond Lamela
    Zlatan Aguero Wickham

    Jaku Ramirez Naughton Smith

    1m ITB

    WC GW3

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

      Tekkers close to joining CPL

      Redmond is a wild goose chase

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

        Wickham will play gw1 after Valencia perform. Expect him to to score got funds your move him in case. May get Routledge over Redmond

  13. Teror
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

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

    or

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

    ???

  14. LAWLESS
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Opinions please and thank you:
    A. Eriksen & Redmond
    B. Lamela & Ayew

  15. GummiG

    If Everton are going to play 352
    Baines vs Coleman?

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

      coleman all the way

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

      Coleman

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

        But if they do, Kone may be the best value of all

        1. ZLATAN'S PONYTAIL
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I feel like I'm out of the loop. Is this Kone from Sunderland? Or Aruna Kone?

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Coleman

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

      Baines on pens no?

  16. HatiBuyah
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Crystal Palace back four. Who else is nailed other than Dann?? Will Souare start?

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

      Souare is nailed, but picked up slight injury. Should start

  17. hanshotfirst
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ibe or Zaha?

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

    A) Costa - Mahrez - Martial
    B) Vardy - Hazard - Eriksen

    1. jurgenklopp.8

      B

  19. jurgenklopp.8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Are we trusting pep for clean sheets?
    And will Stones start first game?

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

      Meh - should get a decent amount because of possession, but don't expect more than say 15.
      Probably

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

        so stones is probably worth it for 5.0?

  20. Pep Talk
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which combo is better?

    A) Kun + Redmond
    B) Kane + Yaya

    Both adds up to 19m.

    Now is having the A combo but is unsure on Redmond to start.

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

    1. Ber2k
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Hennessey starting. I was the same but Foster seems the safe bet.

    2. Ziegler1988
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Got minutes yesterday, I think he'll start

      I'd possible ditch Fischer. Fixtures aside, I still predict a tough start for borough. Well balanced otherwise.
