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.

  1. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Which one?

    a) Ramires and Stones

    b) Evans and Redmond

    1. Marc OverMata
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Id' say b)

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

      Ramirez >>>>>>>>>>>>>

      a

    3. Jonny HOW SON?
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

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

    Tadic or Barkley?

    Was on Deulofeu but now with Bolasie and the other options, I think Barkley is the safest when I want some Everton coverage for the good start.

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Tadic.

  3. Marc OverMata
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    For the first 6/7 GWs who do you favour?

    Deulofeu or Townsend?

    1. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Townsend.

  4. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Pretty safe to assume that Stones will not start GW1 right?

    I would think Pep would want a bit of time on the training ground with him to get him playing in the way he wants him too.

    Or do people actually think he'll be lining up v's Sunderland

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

      I think he'l start. Not much work needed for CBs really

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

      big money signing, Pep had his eye on him for ages and knows he has exactly the tools he's looking for, had a preseason for Everton already

      1. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah I wasnt worried about his fitness. Just lack of time training with his team and playing Peps system

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

          it's up in the air, but if it's already settled..he now has a week to train with them..that could be roughly 2 sessions

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

      Ahhhhhh I was asking the same question...Late signings NEVER play gw1 do they?

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Has played preseason games with Everton and Sunderland at home is as good a fixture for a debut as any. Good chance of starting in my eyes.

    5. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      City are desperate for CBs

    6. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Definitely won't start.

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

        never speak in absolutes

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

      I think he'll start. Kompany is injured and Mangala couldn't even make the CL squad. They don't have many options. There's Kolarov at CB or Denayer but Stones has had a preseason and was bought to play. I think he'll go straight in.

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

    I'm a little hard tbh..

    .........................Foster
    ........Valencia - Stones - Friend
    Hazard - Martial - Firmino - Deulofeu
    ...........Aguero - Costa - Long

    Jakupovic; Capoue, Kone, Amat

    1. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Really good team Sinik. I have this saved to our media chat.. 🙂

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

        you just like it for the Firmi pick 😛

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Pffft I hate that guy!

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

      Nice. Not a fan of the Chelsea double up, but hard to find 0.5 for Vardy

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

        think Vardy is overrated and overpriced

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

          Yeah, he is overpriced, but the fixtures just seem perfect for him. Hull then 3 possession teams with dodgy defences to counter against, then Burnley

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

    I have 0.5 to spend..what would you do?

    A. Pieters to Williams
    B. Redmond to Delufoue
    C. Lamela to Tadic

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

      C

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

    Swansea to pay club record fees for Borja Baston.

    Llorente or Borja to start?

    1. Bullet Eder
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Both in a 4-4-2.

      Borja in a 4-2-3-1.

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

    Bottomed. RMT please.

    Foster, Jaku
    Valencia, Stones, Morgan, Friend, Kone
    Hazard, Firmino, Alli, Redmond, Fletcher
    Kun, Vardy, Gray

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Similar to Sinik's above.

  9. Deece
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) Kane / Firmino / 4.5m defender
    B) Zlatan / Lamela / Shaw

  10. BB-8
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A. VVD
    B. Terry
    C. Baines

    1. Moin

      A.

    2. All de Gea
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Good trio + a couple of duffers

      1. BB-8
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Which one of these to go with, I meant lol

  11. Weeb Kakashi
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Would you go with

    A Double Chelsea attack( Oscar Hazard)
    B Double Leicester ( Vardy Mahrez)

    1. BB-8
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B

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

      Neither really

    3. rickyedwards86
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      doubling up rarely pulls off, from memory the best i've seen is:

      Sturridge - Suarez few seasons back
      Walker - Alderweirld last season

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

        Mahrez - Vardy

  12. bja998
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hi,

    A) Aguero + Pogba + Stones
    B) Kane + Hazard + Coleman

    Which one will be the best over the whole season.

    1. All de Gea
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      B + Aguero - Find a way

    2. Pub Crawl to the Townsend
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Marginally A if Aguero stays fit for the most part

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

    i think im happy with my team except with redmond and fegouli. so i want to take ur respected thought on that team.

    schmikel-4.0
    terry-valencia-stones-friend-4.0
    Hazard-Mahrez-Redmond-fegouli-4.0
    Augero-ibra-gray

    i can upgrade fegouli to 7m by downgrading terry and/or schmikel

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

      There are no £4 m midfielders?

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

      you can't have a £4mill midfielder can you?

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

      sorry i meant 4.5m m7d

  14. rickyedwards86
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    been changing so much i'll losing faith my my selections... please RMT:

    Foster
    Stones - Walker - Azpilicueta
    Sanchez - Townsend - Firmino - Ayew
    Aguero - Rooney - Gray

    Subs - Jakupovic - Amat - Friend - Fletcher

    Thanks

    1. 1892
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Really like it very similar to mine

  15. PRENO
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Think I've cracked the fantasy code... RMT please

    Forster (Jaku)

    Valencia, Stones, Baines (J.Evans, B.Smith)

    Hazard, Tadic, Lamela, Townsend (Capoue)

    Aguero (C), Ibra, Gray

    Wildcarding during the international break GW3-4..

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

      Light midfield

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

        none of the heavy hitting midfielders that I want are fit/guaranteed to start e.g KDB, Hazard, Miki

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

          Think Hazard is and Mkhi

          1. lcfc123
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            Hazard is, Mkhi barely played the last game against leicester

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

      Very similar to mine, except Siggy+Ramirez instead of Lamela and Townsend

  16. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Could do with a RMT, really concerned for my middle of the park;

    Hart
    Johnson | Morgan | Stones | Shaw
    Pogba | Alli | Gray
    Kun | Ibra | Gray

    Jaku | Hojbjerg | Noble | Walker

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

      Dont think Gray from Leicester will play

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Few Leicester fans across here seem to think he will and at a 5M punt I'm semi willing to take the risk.

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

      Midfield looks a mess tbh.

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Massively so, but I can't think of how to improve it. I'm struggling, not going to lie!

  17. Mo Salah No Mane
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hi Guys
    Please please help rip this team apart.
    Struggling to argue with this team I think...

    Foster
    Stones Terry Valencia
    Eriksen Haz Sterling Tadic
    Origi Kun Negredo

    Bench 
    Valdez Mcauley Taylor

    1. Mo Salah No Mane
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Ramirez on the bench as well

  18. Jonny HOW SON?
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    I have the following front 8:

    Hazard, Martial, Firmino, Redmond, Hojbjerg
    Aguero, Gray, Wilson

    I also have 1.5 or max 2.5 M to strengthen.
    Who would you use the money on or who would you change?

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

      I'd do Redmond and either Wilson or Gray -> Tadic and Carroll.

      1. Jonny HOW SON?
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        thanks

  19. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Can see the Everton defence not being focussed this weekend. Jagielka and Mori may not be happy while Williams probably not ready having not played in pre season

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

      Agree. Likely to be unsettled.

    2. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years

      Might have to go for last seasons young golden boot winner.

  21. Jamie_GAWA
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Best team about ;).. Good to go? Pre gw4 WC team..

    Foster/Jaku
    Valencia/Coleman/Friend/Gibson/4.0
    Hazard/Mané/Tadic/Ibe/Capoue
    Aguero/Ibrahimovic/Carroll

    Any changes needed?

  22. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Am I right in thinking that if both Redmond and Ramirez are the same sort of nailed-on-ness then I should just go for Ramirez and use the extra 0.5m to upgrade elsewhere?

    Also better fixtures ?

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

      But in a team unlikely to score many goals.

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

      Look into Ramirez fitness, 31 starts in the last 3 seasons...

  23. Blurryface

    Ppl starting to hate lamela n redmond now?

    1. Smurf

      Yeah. It's been a few days.

    Recommendations please for bench fodder defender (4.0) and midfielder (4.5).

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

      Smith and Capoue

    2. zizoo10
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      amat, capoue/fletcher

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

    I'm tempted by two 6.5 forwards to complement Aguero which would allow me a midfield of Hazard, Firmino, Martial, Alli and Capoue.

    Good idea or not? I'm unsure but it's temping, even though it's a completely different approach to my original Aguero/Sturridge picks.

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

      The alternative would be something like Ibe in for Alli and Gray out for the likes of Lukaku.
