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.

    Foster, Jaku
    Shaw, Morgan, Stones, Pieters, Friend
    Hazard, Firmino, Eriksen, 6.0 (Bolasie/ Fischer/ Redmond), Fletcher
    Aguero, Vardy, Long (Gray if Redmond in midfield)

    Thannks! Please help me.

    Bolasie bid accepted. Is that bad news for Deulofeu?

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

      yeah, and Mirallas

      1. internal error

        wonder who is more at risk. Maybe all 3 will play behind Lukaku and Barkley plays CM

      2. I am 42

        good news for us

          They will all share mins, going to be typical Koeman AM rotation.

          Avoid.

    2. Adderz
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Unless he's the second striker in a 3-5-2?

  3. SMOOTH

    template but dont think i can do better

    foster jaku

    1. Baz

      top team. one week punt on vardy so you can enjoy the early kickoff?

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

    Is this midfield too weak (im accommodating for Kun and Ibra)

    Mahrez-Firmino-Townsend-Redmond-Leko

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

      no looks fine if you've got the big 2 upfront

    2. Lego-Lars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have similar but with money saved to upgrade one of the medium-priced mids.

  5. haroldhammond
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Valdes // Jaku

    Shaw // Terry // Stones // Paredes // Tarkovski

    Eriksen // Mane // Siggy // Miki // Hoj

    Aguero // Lukaku // Wilson

    Any glaring errors here? Personally very happy with the balance and very surprised I got it within budget!

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

      Only concern would be Lukaku's heel and Miki's lack of fitness meaning they're not playing, or have restricted minutes, in GW1.

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

    Foster
    Walker - Stones - Shaw
    Hazard - Lamela - Townsend - Ayew
    Aguero - Ibrahimovic - Long
    Subs: Mandanda, Höjbjerg, Amat and Pieters.

    What do you think of my team?

    1. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      personally not going near Ibrah
      Long can be hit and miss

      Strong defence

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

        I'm considering Martial fetch for Hazard and Ibrahimovic then Kane? Lamela I will then also replace any. What do you think?

  7. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Watch Palace buy Tekkers now.

  8. An Púca
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed, so allow me a repost!

    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

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd wait on Sanchez, potential lack of fitness plus tricky fixtures.
      Also Hazard and Costa is a lot of money on double up with no Man U cover.

  9. Seany A
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Is there a preseason scout cast?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      90% Thursday

  10. Azathoth
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Do u expect Spurs defence to be as solid as last year ? (ofc except the last match)

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

      imo overprice

      you can get better def for 5-5.5

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

      not really, just because they kinda overperformed last year

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

    Looks like Gerard is out my team now? 😯

  12. Venom Snake
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A. Williams + Amat
    B. Pieters + Kone

    Shaw - Stones - Friend ......

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

    Players no longer fashionable on here since the prices came out (it seems):

    Bolasie (Townsend now cool)
    Tadic (Redmond the alternative pick)
    Siggy (Swansea no longer hip to the groove)
    Eriksen (Alli/Lamela, the latter in particular having a good pre-season)
    Lukaku/Costa (Fear of not owning Ibra has taken hold and Kane seems popular despite price hike and being bang out of form)

    Just my tuppence worth.

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

      prefer benteke
      punting redmond
      punting routledge
      wait and see

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

    repost for more opinion

    best under 7m mid?

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

      delboy redmond ramirez

      anymore?

    2. TheGooners
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Shaqiri, Bojan, Deolofeu (until a few hours ago), Ramirez, Cabaye, Redmond all are names I've considered under 7m.

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

        thanks a million

        will shortlist and hopefully made the right selection

        cheers

      2. pax888

        What happend to Deulofeu a few hours ago?

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

          Everton bought Bolasie today. Deu will be repositioned or even rotated.

  15. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Benteke will be bought for £32.5mil using the Bolasie money

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

      its like a game of musical chairs....

    2. E25
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Surely boosts Townsend's appeal

  16. Big Red Dog
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Don't understand Stones pick? Not going to start

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

      You honestly think he's not going to start?

      Stop fear mongering

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

        He probably won't when Kompany returns, but that could take all year..

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

          Aye, not looking past GW3 atm

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

      He will. Kompany is crocked and he's had a good few minutes pre season.

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

      lol idiot

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

      No harm putting him in until the pressers.

    5. La Vida Latte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I agree. English players are overly expensive because of the quota of english players a team must have.

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

    A) Stones + Amat

    B) Kone + Evans (I have Foster)

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

      depends on the rest of your defence

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

        Shaw, Baines and Friend

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

          a then

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

            why?

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

              because it strengthens your first Xi and you still have back up

            2. We Go Again
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Shaw and Baines will start every week so it's ok to have Amat imo

  18. Cal1umz
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Please RMT out of 10.

    -------------Foster-------------
    -----Valencia-Stones-Kone-----
    -Hazard-Tadic-Eriksen-Deulofeu-
    ------Ibra--Aguero--Gray------

    Subs - Jak - Friend - Amat - Capoue

    Thanks in advance 🙂

    1. Kizza_10
      • 11 Years

      9 out of 10

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

      9

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

      Not worried about Deulofeu now it looks like they are getting Bolassie?

      9/10 otherwise, I have a similar structure.

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

    Is stones certainly a starter?

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

      I have Ward as back up.

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

      he's competing with mangala who didnt even make the CL squad, and Fernandinho

      he's walking into that squad on saturday

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

        team*

      2. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Kompany ruled out then?

    3. The Mantis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I hope so, for £5m seems a bargain. I've got him too. City want rid of Mangala and Kompany is injury prone now

  20. The Mantis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Dier or Ibe? both £5.5

    1. E25
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Neither for me

  21. Ready Manager One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A or B? Cheers!

    A) firmino + redmond

    B) tadic + lamela

    1. Kizza_10
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B

  22. Kizza_10
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Starting 11 good to go ?

    Foster

    Williams Stones Morgan

    Feghouli Sanchez Hazard Pogba Mahrez

    Gray Aguero

  23. Scratch
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I had 3 Swansea in my team a day or 2 ago... now i'm thinking I might not go with any.

    Ayew gone, Gylfi doubtful... and whyyyy would they sell Williams?! £12m gets them nothing in the market nowadays, it's meangingless monopoly money at this stage

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

      Probably told them he wants to go and they respected his wishes as a long-time servant of the club

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

        That's the only reason that makes sense.

        Actually beginning to worry about Swansea's survival without Williams & Ayew.

        Hopefully wrap up the Borja signing and sign a decent CB replacement

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

      from siggy & ntaylor
      to routledge & amat

      3m saved 😀

    3. Forget Special, I am the ON…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      12m for 31yr old is a very good deal for Swansea

  24. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Final draft, think I'm finally ready for Saturday after a lot of mixing it up in midfield..

    Lamela chosen over Eriksen based on pre-season, slight feeling Janssen might start in a 442.

    Tadic over Redmond due to guaranteed start. Like the look of Redmond, especially at 6m, but who really knows if he'll play! I have already have one punt with Stones. And one is enough.

    Foster / Forster

    Stones / Valencia / Pieters / Friend / Amat

    Hazard / Tadic / Lamela / Firmino / Capoue

    Vardy / Aguero / A. Gray

    Thoughts?

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

      Very similar to my team below. Like it all except unsure over liverpool best mids with most minutes.

      1. E25
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I think Firmino could be a good punt as he's likely to play in the false 9 in some games.

  25. creative
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I desperately need a RMT! Is rooney a stupid pick? I won't have any united switch out with one transfer if he starts badly, unlike if I picked ibra, martial, mhitkaryan etc. but they are not all fully fit and guaranteed mins.

    Foster (jaku)
    Stones - Pieters - McAuley (Friend, Amat)
    Hazard - Alli - Tadic - Townsend
    Rooney - Aguero - Vardy

    1. Forget Special, I am the ON…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Rooney 😮

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

    Have Everton bought Kone as well?

    1. thepeen555
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      he is in merseyside - however apparently sunderland havent given him permission as a fee wasnt agreed.

      sounds like an Odem WBA moment all over again

  27. JÆKS ⭐
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Everyone seems to think Amat is nailed on, I'm not so convinced actually. Hoping we'll know more after the presser. Woud love to hear some more about the whole Bertrand - Targett thing too, 4.5 for a nailed Saints defender would be nice

  28. thepeen555
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    looked on Sky sports FF, pogba is the most expensive midfielder lol

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

      He's under priced on FPL.

      1. Jazz!
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not really. If we switch to a 4-3-3 with Pogba given more freedom, he could be great value.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Does the game suit him though?

      1. thepeen555
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not sure tbh bud I don't really play it, I have an account but am not worried FPL is my jam

        But there was quite a few odd balls that where highly priced so I guess it caters for all type of players

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

    Surely Deulofeu & Lukaku upfront together, with Bolasie on the left and Miralles on the right?? 😕

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Barkley behind, 2 holding players and 4 defenders + GK makes 12.

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

      hope so. Barkley playing next to Gueye ?

  30. pax888
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 8 months ago

    Will Stones start GW1 for Man City?

    1. Big Red Dog
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Even if he does GW 1 they have Otamendi, Mangala and Kompany when hes back.. probably GW 2

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

        They are trying to sell Mangala who's had minimal pre season, doubt Mangala will even be considered.

        1. Big Red Dog
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Oh really?

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

            Yes Jason, don't even think he made their CL squad.
