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.

    Everton backline now?

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

      Back three of Williams, Kone and Jags/Mori with Coleman and Baines as wing backs?

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

        That could persuade me to double up on Everton defence.

  2. cobeirne3

    Thoughts? £1.0 ITB

    Gomes - Pickford (sub)

    Alder - Williams - Morgan - Bellerin - Huth (sub)

    Oscar - Payet - Jedinak - Pogba (sub) - Noble (sub)

    Negredo - Ibra - Musa

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

      you need to get Ibra out, imo, he doesn't fit in there:)))

      1. cobeirne3
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ah why dya think that?

  3. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Now going with:

    De Gea, Heaton

    Moreno, Francis, Stones, Friend, Dawson

    Hazard, Phillips, Bojan, Firmino, Ayew

    Aguero, Lukaku, Wilson

  4. AnfieldRoad
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Thoughts on this team please?

    Lloris Foster

    Shaw Azpilicueta Pieters Stones Nsue

    Tadic Oscar Firmino Ayew Ibe

    Agüero Musa Long

    +1.0m ITB

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

      I like musa but he's far from guaranteed to start imo

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        It's worth the risk though, he will be nailed eventually and likely to score/assist against Hull even if he plays for 20/30 minutes.

  5. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Some of the questions on here are... funny... 😆

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

      The answers are often worse

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'll give it about 12 hours before asking any questions. 😛

    2. sinik
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      hey how'd you make your name font different?

      1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Copied it on my phone. 🙂

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

    Musa and Eriksen/Alli
    or
    Vardy and Redmond

    I think Redmond is set up for failure after all the hype he's got here but Musa seems like a real threat but isn't guaranteed to start

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

      I'm not sure the hype on here will effect him.

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

        affect* damn.

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

        I figured haha but it just seems like he's the type of player one or two mentions then everyone gets and becomes a flop

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

          He does. But it's fun to punt.

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

      FFS has no bearing on the real world

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

        ^^

    3. Exdeo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      hype? a bit aove 4% ownership...i wouldn't call it hype

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

        a lot of people on here is what I'm talking about. obviously nowhere near the 1.8m people who play the game are on this website

  7. Reckoner.
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Oops, missed off 2nd keeper, thoughts?

    Foster | Heaton
    Shaw | Stones | Williams | Friend | Kone
    Sanchez | Alli | Gradel | Townsend | Cook
    Aguero | Kane | Carroll

  8. Deadly97
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    pick two out of each section

    mid: siggy, Barkley, ayew

    fwd: vardy or lukaku

  9. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Not long to go.
    Anyone been to Crete and got any recommendations?

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      factor 50

      1. The Nuttmxn
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        I want higher.

    2. Costa's Counsellor
      • 10 Years

      Malia is a really chilled out place. Just lovely.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Sarcasm? I heard the opposite.

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

          I don't believe that Malia would be your cup of tea ... 😆

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

          It's a party place. not my cuppa tea even though I'm a youngster.

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

          Yeah, it's dreadful!

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have been there once and no

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Oh great.

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

      Heraklion was alright, nothing great.

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

    Probably pointed out long ago, but: Rotating Palace/Everton/Southampton (Benching 1) works pretty well for the first 6+ GWs, throwing up the following possible string:

    WBA/WAT | wba/tot | BOU/SUN | mid/sun | MID/SWA | sun/bou | eve/CPL | WHU/BUR | lei/bur | LIV/WHU | hul/bur

    So e.g. bench 1 of Deu/Redmond/Bolasie each week.
    Or Souare/VVD/Baines
    Or Long/Townsend/Barkley
    Whatever floats your boat.

    Food for thought. My current team for reference (too much on defence, Agueroless blah blah).

    Valdes (Jak)
    Valencia, Baines, Walker (4.0, 4.0)
    Sanchez, Hazard, Bolasie, Redmond (Deu)
    Kane, Vardy Carroll

    My main issue is that my 6.5 striker has to play every week, which I don't like. But then, Carroll will be tall every week, so he can always nod a couple in.

    My questions:
    1) What do you think (except for "I don't see Kun; I smell toast"
    2) What are the other THREES that rotate well to start the season?

    1. How Mina You
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      "Carroll will be tall every week..." - This made me laugh more than it should have done.

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

        😆

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

      VvD too expensive to rotate tbh. You could go with Targett. A bit of a risk as to when Bertrand returns but I am confident on at least till GW3.

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

        Yeah VvD would be my 5th choice 5.5 I reckon coz of fixtures

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

      1) I won't be rotating any Everton for the first 7
      2) Mid/Sun/Cpl

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

        I get ya. I'm talking about benching Everton in just GWs 1 & 3, so they still play 5/7

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

      it's a risky one, you will ever be high scoring on 1st GW, or will lose to anyone if Kubra outscore Kabry and obviously there will be someone to score more then Sanchez blank

  11. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) KDB + Rhodes

    or

    B) Fischer & Kane

    1. JIM BOB
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A with Negredo?

  12. Wapster
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Gray or Carroll?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Is Carroll nailed on now that ayew has signed

      1. Wapster
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not sure but scoring the other day must have helped.
        Was worried by the stats about Gray against better teams...

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

        Not quite as much.

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

      Gray for me

  13. Morgs
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Redmond + Pieters

    or

    Townsend + 4.0m def

  14. BobB
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    We don't know who will be Chelsea's penalty taker. Picking Oscar mainly for that reason is a huge risk

  15. Wivanee
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How likely is it that stones and Willams will start GW1?

    1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Stones nailed, Williams unsure.

  17. TheEgyptianKing
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Redmond deffo playing, any stats from pre season to make me choose him?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Might be oop on attacking side. Looks best cheap midfielder to me

    2. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      See pre-season above. 2 goals and OOP.

      In my team with Tadic

  18. Cheeseoid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    @ Doosra. I dropped you a mail

  19. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Townsend looks a good option again if Benteke joins Palace.

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

      Yeah, but I'd rather have Benteke then

  20. Baz
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Alli Hazard Tadic Ramirez
    Aguero Gray Vardy

    2mill ITB. Defence sorted so how should I invest the extra or worth keeping ITB for transfers after GW1?

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

      Upgrade Ramirez

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

        ta. townsend and save 1mil for vardy to kane?

        1. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Don't upgrade Ramirez.

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

          Maybe Deulofeu?

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      You could do vardy to kane in GW2 with 1m itb

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

        yeah thinking that, kane looks captain material gw2. cheers

  21. King Kohli
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Why do people here prefer Eriksen over Alli, when Alli is more of a goal scorer?

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

      Stats. I'm heavily in favour of Alli

    2. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Dead ball specialist on spot kick duties.

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

        He's not on penalties

        1. Lazarus Star
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          *free kick

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Set pieces

    4. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Casuals...

  22. Lazarus Star
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    The GW1 template is forming....roll on Friday!

    So best spend of 12M for 1 GK & 2 Def?

    Surely Stones will feature early for Citeh, maybe not GW1 but Friendly against Arsenal looked like they had holes to fill. Anyone know if this is a Board or Conte signing?

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

      Not sure Conte would have had much say

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I hope City didn't let Chelsea's manager make a signing for them.

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

        I can imagine Pep's disillusionment with that.

    3. Lazarus Star
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      *Pep

      #schoolboy

    4. Boris Bodega
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      It certainly looks like a Pep signing, and Ican't see why he wouldn't start personally....he certainly wouldn't do much worse than anyone else did versus Arsenal.

  23. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Ayew on my team in a Hammers jersey gives me pause.
    Anyone else feel the same?

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

      That's why I bought him.

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

        No longer an OOP striker
        Crowded Hammer midfield

      2. Chardee McDennis
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        You think he'll start?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I am certain of it. He happens to be our record transfer ...

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

    Not seen much of Dele Alli in RMT's, any particular reason do you think?

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

      Price

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

      Yes, I own Kane.

    3. Wapster
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Think the price and he peaks and dips a little. He was great for me last year though.

  25. Barmak
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    How's this looking?

    De Gea / Jakupovic

    Shaw / Walker / McAuley / Gibson / Paredes

    Hazard / Mahrez / Eriksen / Ramirez / Fletcher

    Aguero / Lukaku / Long

    Any suggestions or apparent weaknesses?

    Cheers in advance.

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

      looks strong. I'd change your 4.0 defender as when the masses transfer out he'll drop fast

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

        Who's the alternate that's nailed on to start though? Zilch in the bank!

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

      Lukaku flagged on FF - 75% (dunno what that's about, been under a rock the last couple days) - but I like it./

  26. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I have 0.5 in the bank that I don't need. Does anyone want it?

    1. Moore FPL

      9 years, 8 months ago

      YESSS 😀

  27. BossOff
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    This costs me 0.5 too much. Any suggestions on where to make changes?

    Courtois (Jaku)
    Valencia - Stones - Baines - Friend (Paredes)
    Hazard - Eriksen - Delofeu - Redmond (Capoue)
    Aguero - Ibra (Gray)

    Thanks!

    1. Gryffindoor
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Baines to williams maybe

    2. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Keepers- get a cheap rotation

    3. Morbius
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Eriksen to Lamela or Baines to (Pieters, Williams etc)?

    4. BossOff
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Does Baines still take set pieces and penalties?
      That's the main/only reason I'm so set on him.

      Nice.

      Prefer Redmond to Townsend.
      Also, you can squeeze another 5.5 defender in if you do Heaton -> 4.0 and Mee -> 4.0

        Thanks, I like Redmond but not 100% sure he'll start GW1
        I could do Heaton -> Jaku but don't think any 4M defenders nailed

    I hate you all

    Heaton | Jak
    Valencia | Stones | Williams | Friend | Amat
    Hazard | Firmino | Tadic | Rodwell | Leko
    Aguero | Ibrahimovic | Gray

    Template enough?;)

      You can't sneak Rodwell in and call it template.

      Stones doubt Gw1. Del & Tad are 60-70 min players. Forster / Schm + 4 better than man /man rot imo
