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.

    Pick one.

    A) Zlatan + Lamela + Ramirez + Van Dijk
    B) Gray + Martial + Firmino + Stones
    C) Gray + Martial + Alli + Stones

    Thanks 🙂

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

      Can I pick neither or wither?

    2. Banana Shaqiri - HMD, PUP
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A, but might do better than Ramirez.

    3. meerlight

      I've got c atm

    4. Odikostar
      • 11 Years

      b

    5. Anything with Ramirez gets my vote.

    6. RubeRx
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      C for me

    7. Respect My Authoritah

      B

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

      Close, but B

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

      Thanks again!

    10. The Mighty One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have B with Kun AND Ibra.

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

    I feel like I've pretty much settled on a team. I've made a tonne of swaps over the last couple of days but these seem to be the ones I gravitate back towards:

    Foster / Heaton
    Van Dijk / Shaw / Stones / Mee / Friend
    Firmino / Tadic / Lamela / Townsend / Ibe
    Aguero / Ibra / Gray

    Anything jumping out that I've missed?

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

      Would prefer Coleman over VVD but that would be all

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

        He's one I keep going back and forth on. Both good options, but in inconsistent teams. Think you might be right though, Eve should have the easier time of it, surely. Thanks.

    2. Da Funk
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Could do with a Chelsea forward?

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

        As a Chelsea fan, it pains me to leave them out, but I just can't figure out how to make one work. Oscar/Fab seem to be my only options, and I don't know can I rely on either of them out of the gates.

  3. Helia
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) Hazard, Delefeou, Evans

    B) Alli, Oscar, Stones

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

      A by a mile.

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

        why? and i was here thinking B was better. value wise. less dependant on hazard and oscar is looking good on corners and pens

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

        thanks

      3. The Mighty One
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yours is still the greatest grav of all time. Never gets old...but we do. Cheers. Good luck this season, Pea.

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

      or eriksen instead of all. been jumping from the two.

      rest of team is

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

      A
      hazard is going to be awesome. Delefeou could do well under koeman. And evans...

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

        doesn't anyone think oscar could be an absolute steal at 7.5? seems like the manager loves him aswell and i don't think hazard has done much more than oscar pre season.

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

      A

  4. okan58
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Martial, Pogba or Mkhitaryan?

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

      Martial

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

      None of the above.

    3. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Martial.

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

        Ibra

    4. Drop Dead Tsimikas
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ibrahimovic

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

      None for me, but martial from that list

    6. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Martial had a season under his belt. So him

  5. Berkan
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed.

    Will Stones really be a starter for Man City ahead of Otamendi? He wasnt even a starter for England or Everton towards the end of the season

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

      Can see him playing defensive milf later in the season.

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

      Stones + Ota at the start

    3. I am 42
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      another sterling?

      100m on the bench?

      might as well get pogba

  6. semiconductor
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed few pages back. Please tell me ur opinion on that team if u have the time.

    Foster-4.0

    Valencia-stones-friend-terry*-4.0

    Hazard-sanchez^-redmond-fegouli*-4.5

    Augero-vardy*-gray

    *can be pieters and townsend/del
    ^can be mahrez and ibra

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

      I like the Ibra + Mahrez combo better as Arsenal have tough start of fixtures. Feghouli is my biggest concern in that I think.

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

        I can get upto 7m mid if i downgrade terry. Who do u suggest?

  7. I am 42

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

      striker? gray

      1. I am 42
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        mid, my bad

        i have ramirez

        cheers

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

          all the others seem risky to me so you could punt with bojan

    3. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Redmond

      1. I am 42
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        i have redmond too

        cheers 😀

      1. I am 42
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        ramirez seems a popular pick in ffs

        nice differential

        may ramirez rewards his believer 😀

  8. Del Monte
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Mandanda start this week?

    Mandanda and Mannone rotate the best to start but I don't want Mannone playing GW1 away at City.

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

      Most seem to think no. I would have him GW1 if I'd knew he'd start. Will wait for pressers

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

      I don't think he will given he played with the reserves against Farnborough yesterday (or Sunday...)

  9. I am 42
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    1) Courtois + Evans or
    2) Foster + Terry?

    1. RubeRx

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

    A) Alli + Oscar + Coleman

    or

    B) Lamela + Hazard + Kone

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

      A

    2. Helia

      I'm confused. similar question i asked above lol

      1. Big Test Icles
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        B all day all night, Breakout season for Lamela and Hazard gets back on the horse and gets back in the race to be best in the league. Don't like Kone, I feel you will be better served by Brom defense than Sunderland.. JMHO

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

    Is kouyate still in defense or is he back in midfield?

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

        cheers, thinking of him as he always comes up with the odd few goals

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

          He scored the first two goals at our new stadium last week.

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

            yeah thats what reminded me of him, could be a decent option. if not him or ramirez, who's the best 5.5?

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

        This says to me that Carroll isn't nailed...am I reading it right?

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

          No, but he might be limited to 60/70

          1. Boris Bodega
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years

        Hey Doos been a while

        Couldn't Ayew play right mid like he did at Swansea and Valencia play up top as well?

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

          Yes, but I am told that he likes the left.

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

            Valencia has not played at the point for a long while. In any competition.

            1. RubeRx
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Forster / Jakupovic
    Valencia / Pieters / Friend / Evans / Taylor

    1. More Tragic

    2. Big Red Dog
      • 14 Years

      Def is fine. Nice team

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

    Redmond + Stones or Deulofeu + Mee ? Already have Tadic and Kone

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

      Redmond and Stones but I wouldn't like the double up.

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

    Just had to try, check out my team "F..ck Clean Sheets" :

    Mandanda - Foster

    Stones - Pieters - Friend - Evans - Paredes

    Tadic - Sigurdsson - Bolasie - Ayew - Capoue

    Zlatan - Kun - Kane

    ....Thats right! Three monsters up front

    1. Game...Blouses
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

    Everton are closing in on the £25 million signing of Crystal Palace forward Yannick Bolaise, sources close to the player have told ESPN FC.

    6. Helia
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tadic was the first mid i selected in my team, such a steal at that price. he will be nailed on this season I'm sure. only thing holding him back last time was rotations.

    7. I am 42
      • 12 Years

    How's this looking?

    Foster, Jaku

    Walker, Shaw, Stones, Friend, Smith

    Hazard, Alli, Tadic, Gradel, Watson

    Aguero, Ibra, Gray

    1. v12w12

      Looks good. Prefer Ramirez over Gradel but nice team

  20. EWH2020
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    a) Tadic and Capoue
    b) Redmond and Bolasie

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      That's tough, but B serves more overall attacking threat.

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

      Depending if u have other 4.5m mid or attacker?

  21. Fifa las vegas
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Right everyone, I've really not heard or seen anything to do with football in the last two weeks expect for Pogba (he's home!), so can someone fill me in on any important transfers and more importantly why are Sturridge and KdB flagged? ðŸ˜

    1. Fifa las vegas
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'm a United fan and I'm not even sure how they'll lineup this weekend yet!

    2. TheGooners
      • 9 Years

      Sturridge has a hip issue and unlikely to dress for GW1 (what else is new) and KDB is just lacking match fitness from coming to training late. Likely will not play GW1 either...same goes for Payet, Giroud, Ozil, Koscielny, and possibly Siggurdson.

    25 million for a mediocre player like Bolasie is depressing

      he's not mediocre, he has amazing potential and could become a star under koeman

        amazing potential at 27, right..

    Foster - Jakupovic
    Shaw - Stones - Cedric - Kone - Souare
    Sanchez - Martial - Willian - Lamela - Capoue
    Aguero - Carroll - Gray
    1.5m ITB

    Initially had Musa instead of Carroll but worried that he won't start and/or will be played off the wing. Anything I can do to beef up my attack?

    Firmino or Tadic?

    Please help.

      Firmino for me

    2. An Púca

      Firmino as possibly further up the pitch
      Plus, whats Puel like as a manager?

  26. An Púca

    1st and prob only RMT of the season

    Foster (Jak)
    Stones Williams Friend (Kone, Paredes)
    Hazard Sanchez Firmino King (Watson)
    Aguero Costa Gray

    Never have gone big on a defence at the start of a season but reckon that doesn't look too bad at the back.
    Will King get starts for Bouremouth?

    Any thoughts on it overall...thanks

      Could be massive, but also a little punty. Not bad at all.

    How does Lindgard look like an option?

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

      Jesse Lingard? Not great, competition from Mkhitaryan so he's definitely not nailed.

        Haven't followed pre-season. Thanks for the info, Slartibartfast

      Decent IMO, but probably not assured enough minutes.

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

        Would you risk him over more assured 5.5m starters?

        1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          No. He picked up a knock in the CS, as well.

    @FantasyFreek -

    Yeah, trying to stick to what I got at moment.(Odds are I will be off to bad start anyway)'

    Kane/Kun/Vardy for me

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

      Good luck Tina. I was on this for a while but changed my mind due to the potential value of Gray and what he can do for my defence and mids. Means going without one of Vardy/Kane though...

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Good luck!

      I'm looking at a Zlatan/Vardy/Kun frontline right now. 🙂

  30. Cluckfuster

    A) Kun + MK
    B) Zlatan + KdB

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

      Neither, concerns over Mkhi and KDB's minutes.

        • 11 Years

        I agree
