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 Leicester defence? Worth it without Kante?
    Already have Chelsea and United defence (with Kone as back up), wondering whether to commit with Fuchs

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I think so, but depends on how new signings settle. Should be good value though

    2. jmcclory123
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Going to leak a lot more without Kante I know that much.

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

      Fuchs easily could be

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks guys, provided Kone starts for wherever he ends up he rotates nicely with Fuchs.

        Maybe worth it vs Hull and Swansea both getting pillaged of their players

    4. Wheato182
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Better options at his price i reckon.

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think there are options like Everton and Spurs but both have a bad GW1 fixture which is what im looking for

    5. GinjaWhinja
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm having Fuchs for first 3.

      Hull - 'nuff said.
      Arsenal - Without Wilshere, Ozil, Giroud, Mertz and now Gabriel.
      Swansea - in turmoil with no Williams & Ayew

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Thinking of benching him for Kone in GW2 but agreed, Leicester could have a great start

      2. VS10_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Özil and Giroud will be back for GW2 and could start then.

    6. Rococo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      The ease at which Jesse Lingard walked through them for his goal was worrying.

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly! I was pretty happy with owning Lei assets until Sunday

    7. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Will decline without Kante, but still decent returns. All about MUN defence this time around

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Im still wary of Mourinho, took a while before Chelsea were settled and getting consistent clean sheets, starting with Valencia but dont think theyll be solid from the off

  2. sharper
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    RMT:

    Foster / Jak
    Valencia / Baines / Stones (Friend / Wollscheid)
    Tadic / Lamela / Oscar / Walcott (Routledge)
    Aguero / Kane / Gray

    £1.5 ITB..... to still tinker

    Players picked on pre-season form and potential to start GW 1 - 5

    Thoughts please?

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

      Midfield far too weak

      1. sharper
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Who would you keep / swap?

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

          All of them! Except tadic

          1. sharper
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Harsh but probably fair.... GK's happy with, DEF happy with, ATK happy with - Lamela, Oscar and Walcott are slight risks.

            I have £1.5 to upgrade 1 or 2

    2. delarrn
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott is asking for trouble. Backed him as a differential and been stung too many times already.

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

    Foster, Jaku
    Shaw, Stones, Terry, Friend, Williams
    Gradel Townsend Hazard Firmino Capoue
    Gray Ibra Aguero

    Too much? I'm pretty happy with Gradel / Townsend, liking the value in both of these.

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

      Feel the same, and you've got a solid ibrakun team there

  4. JIM BOB
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Do I have the following midfielders in the correct order in terms of FPL priority?

    1. KDB
    2. Hazard
    3. Ozil
    4. Firmino
    5. Payet
    6. Mahrez

      How about Sanchez who will play more as a striker ?

  5. GinjaWhinja
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Ayew or Oscar?

    1. Elijah's Wood
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Both arent assured to start on the weekend, both are to be monitered tbh

  6. 1justlookin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Looks like Kone's on his way. We're all livid up here! I wouldn't sell him for 20 million. Whats the point!!!!!!

    1. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      WOW! Everton splashing that Stone cash wastefully I see

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

        Ha. Hes quality.

      2. A.T
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        He's quality from what I've seen.

        1. A.T
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Which admittedly isn't very much 🙂

      3. Every Dog Has Its Day
        • 12 Years

        Wastefully? lol mug

        1. JIM BOB
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Calm down dear

      4. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Kone is a great defender.

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          looool is he?

          Take your word for it, i've only ever seen him play half a dozen times

          1. JIM BOB
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            This was half my point. Half a season in the Prem.

      5. JIM BOB
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Ok, so my choice of words wasn't great.

        I agree he's a good defender, but struggling to get my head around him being worth 20m after half a season in the Prem.

        The market has gone a bit crazy I guess!

    2. 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Good in the air, massive heart. Not great technically but a great athlete.

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

        I've heard he's a good player.

        But on a side note, that is such an English description of what you want in a defender!

    3. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Great business for sunderland. Bad move football wise. Sunderland needed that solid defence to even have a chance now im not so sure.

    4. Cesc's old mullet
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      There goes my rotation...

      Any other Sunderland defender nailed on at 4.5?

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Kaboul?

      2. the cromulent one
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        If Kone starts at Everton, he's a far better option than he was at Sunderland.

        1. Cesc's old mullet
          • 16 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Fair point. Remains to be seen whether he actually starts at Everton

    5. the cromulent one
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      So Sunderland will muddle through with O'Shea and Kaboul?
      Good luck with that.

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

        Idiot. We signed a c.half last week for 8 mill

  7. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Current team:

    Foster / Jakupovic

    Shaw / Terry / Stones / Friend / Paredes

    Hazard / Firmino / Redmond / Lamela / Capoue

    Aguero / Ibra / Gray

    Any suggestions?

    *I'm thinking of possibly having Deulofeu instead of Lamela

    1. delarrn
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I'm not convinced by Deulofeu myself. Rest of the team looks nice

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

    I was settled on having Baines from the get go. The current Williams news makes him an even better prospect, although Ashley will probably be hogging the bonus points in case of a clean sheet.

    If Koné finally goes to Everton, would any of you consider doubling up on their defense? With a bonus points hogger, an alleged set piece taker and a massive aerial threat, just for 5.0., 5.5. and a measly 4.5. respectively, playing for a manager with a decent defensive record over at Southampton, I'd find it hard not to pick more than one during their easier period of fixtures.

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

      Too risky

  9. HurriKane
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Terry or Williams (everton) ?

    Both has decent fixtures at the start

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

      Is Terry injured?

      Dugout FC says he is.

      Not sure if they're reliable or not.

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Williams is more secure. Terry will surely be at risk once Zouma returns.

  10. lupinski7
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    What do you think guys ? RMT please.

    Foster 4,5 / Jakupovic 4.0
    Valencia 5,5, Stones 5,0 (City), Friend 4,5 Byram 4,5 Souare 4,5
    Martial 9,5 Hazard 10,0 Sanchez 11,0 Firmino 8,5 Hojbjerg 4,5
    Kane 11 Gray 6,5 Carroll 6,5

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

      Looks ok. Risky without Aguero. Think Byram might not start due to new signing

      1. lupinski7
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        i decided to bring sanchez instead who will play as a striker and have 5 pts for goal and another +/- 15 for CS and safe me 2 mln so I can have hazard and firmino as well, with ayew and payet delivery Carroll if fit can have some good numbers.

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

    I'm starting to think a 5-3-2 could potentially work

    1. THE Wild Rover
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It won't

    2. JIM BOB
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      lol

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

      Maybe in Fantasy Serie A

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

      Ay, now that you mention it.

      Foster, Jaku
      Shaw, Stones, Terry, Friend, Williams
      Gradel Townsend Hazard Firmino Capoue
      Gray Ibra Aguero

      With an upgrade on Townsend this could easily work.

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

        Or not.

    5. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      For Everton it might do.

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

    Ok I think I'll go with this one:

    Courtois \ (Jakupović)
    Valencia \ Walker \ Sagna \ (Paredes \ Amat)
    Hazard \ Firmino \ Tadić \ Fletcher \ (Capoue)
    Ibra \ Kun \ Gray

    Any comments/suggestions?

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

      Wouldnt have Fletcher 4th mid. Also wouldnt go with 2 4m defs

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

      Downgrade Sagna for playing defenders

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

      Got any suggestions on cheap playing defenders for my bench?
      I assume there aren't any priced 4M.

    4. Elijah's Wood
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Courtois -> £4.5m
      Sagna -> Terry
      Fletcher -> £5.5m

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

        Courtois -> Foster
        Sagna -> Terry
        Fletcher -> Drinkwater

        Maybe this?

    5. nicecat
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks!

    6. Get in ma Dembele
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      be careful with Paredes and Amat, if you're not intending on playing them then get 4m with low selection %, otherwise mass transfers out from the casuals will cause both their prices to drop. If you want a 4m starter, Lenihan from Hull is a starter.

      Downgrade Sagna and Swap Fletcher, other than that i'd say G2G

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

        Thanks!

  13. Camp No No

    10 years, 1 month ago

    So, now that City is in possession of the two most expensive defenders of the history of football,* they are Mangala and Stones! 😆

    *Although if you count in inflation, Ferdinand may have been more expensive than Mangala. Doesn't change that this is funny, though.

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

      Wasn't David Luiz more?

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

        Nope, less.

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

          thought he was £50m

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

            He was slightly less than 50M _euros_.

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

              seems you are going off an alleged leaked document. Accepted wisdom still seems to list Mangala as being cheaper than Luiz

    2. Every Dog Has Its Day
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      and we are selling Mangala.

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

        Since you paid about €50M for him, I guess around €5M will be a fair price. 😉 😆

        Nah, who would be so dumb as to pay that much for that big pile of donkey sheet?

  14. ANON.
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    RMT please:

    Foster
    Shaw, Friend, Pieters
    Hazard, Mahrez, Alli, Redmond
    Aguero, Vardy, Gray

    Jaku, McAuley, Capoue, Kone

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

      Defence is a bit light, but everything else looks solid.

    4. BabyB
      • 13 Years

      but what week does it start and when was it last updated? looks different from the rmt tool just now..

  16. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    a) Firm Tadic Lamela
    b) Mane Redmond Ayew +0.5m

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

      A

    2. Elijah's Wood
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A, but not convinced with Lamela. Could get Firm/Redmond/Erik?

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

        Not a bad shout there!

        I do think Mane will be the one to benefit most from Liverpools system though, even with Firm at false 9

  17. Sweden11
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    A) Coutinho and Kane
    B) Mahrez and Lukaku
    C) any other combo for 18m

    1. #23
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      A is 19 and B is 18,5

      C) Vardy + Mahrez ?

  18. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Can someone please rate my team out of 10?
    GK: Heaton

    Def: Baines,Walker,Valencia

    Mid:,Hazard,Eriksen,Bolasie,Tadic

    Forward: Aguero, Gray,Vardy

    Bench:Jaku, Routledge,Friend,Paredes

    Will rotate heaton and Jaku according to fixtures.
    Also do you think Firmino instead of Eriksen?
    Thanks to everyone who replies!!

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

      I would go Alli instead of Eriksen

  19. UnitedFan
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Carroll or Wilson?

  20. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone getting Pogba @8.5?

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

      Not me

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

      See my post below. Surely he's not guaranteed to start or else everyone would have him?

    3. JÆKS ⭐

      Can't see him out scoring similar priced midfielders. He'll be playing deep in a conservative Mourinho system, so think the are better options.

      Depends what you want from it. It's a waste of money imo unless you just want to support the site.

        Disagree. RMT + Tactical Analysis + Proper Season Ticker

          Ticker is useful for sure... the rest is just someone's opinion on fantasy football that doesn't know as much as me lol 🙂

    First post all Summer, but is Pogba on at 8.5m a joke? If not, why isn't he in everyone's team?

        I just don't get his price? Why so cheap?

      Plays too deep for consistent returns

    3. Cradders

      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's not gonna play he's had no training sessions since the Euroas and I doubt he's gonna play up the field with Mkhi Martial Rooney etc he'll probably play alongside a DM in a double pivot

    4. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He won't get you many FPL points compared to others around that price maybe?

    5. CC22

      Bit of a card magnet and a deep lying midfielder. He's not going to be banging in 15 goals from midfield and a hatful of assists.

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

      Do you know where he'll play positionally?

    What are the chances of Batshuayi starting alongside Costa this season? Very hard to tell what system Conte will opt to use, because with Willian, Hazard, Costa, Oscar than 2 of either Kante Matic and Fabregas...Guess if they play 4-2-4 he could replace Oscar but he is on decent form at the moment.

      Many will say Ibra + Deulofeu.

      I say you need to Spurs it up. Kane and Lamela great options, both might be a bit much. But Kane, and find yourself a mid sub 7,0 you like.

  29. TheCurseOfRaheem

    Thoughts on Stones' chances of starting?

  30. Wag the Drog
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    For 4th MID:
    A) Ibe+Fegouhli
    B) Deulofeu+4.5
