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.

      Both are risky.

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

        Better then to have a 4.0 defender and get in Baines and Stones?

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

    is pieters a good 4.5m? he has a streak of amazing fixture from GW 5 - 14.

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

      Will probably get him if I wildcard early.

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

        Seems like a solid 4.5

    2. Back on the horse

      Yeah. It's he more nailed than wolly?

        Haha, I just don't rate Liverpool at all. Not saying I'm going to do it though.

      All very amusing comments - doesn't want to take my money for some reason

  5. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years

    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*

  6. evolve89
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    good to go?

    Heaton
    Valencia - Stones - Friend
    Tadic - Townsend - Firmino - Hazard
    Aguero - Kane - Gray

    Foster, Capoue, Lenihan, Kone

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

      No Leicester attack for 1st game v Hull?

      1. evolve89
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Would you rather go Lamela & Vardy, instead of Kane & Townsend?

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

          My front 7 is

          Hazard, Mahrez, Alli, Redmond
          Aguero, Vardy, Gray

  7. SmartMart
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    I have a midfield of :

    Hazard, Firmino, Tadic, Barkley(capoue)

    but I havent seen many people choose Barkley...

    should I change him or is he worth a shot?

    1. The Rock
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      He's frustrating but worth a shot if you think he will have a good year. Most people are picking Deulofeu ahead of him though.

    2. Gazpilicueta
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I am also choosing Barkley

      1. jpb333
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Deulofeu is no way nailed. been pretty poor last few games

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

    Foster, Heaton
    Shaw, Stones, Terry, Friend, Kone
    Gradel Townsend Hazard Firmino Capoue
    Gray Ibra Aguero

    RMT/10?

    1. ManTree(v2!) or just JAY!
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      7

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

      8/10, this is very good

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

        Suggestions? Mid is a bit weak, but am taking a gamble.

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

          I think it's not that bad. Gradel and Townsend have potential, I'd personally go Fischer and Deu over him and Townsend...or Vardy, Tadic, Deu over them and Ibra, but that's personal preference. The other thing is Terry is not nailed after Zouma's back.

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

      Cant see many points in that midfield for GW1 to be honest

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

        I can see that as well, can't see Firmino exploding, but with Hendo being able to feed more effectively we can't predict anything.

        I don't like the idea of Leicester attackers before I see them play in the PL for a couple.

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

          They are the same team as last year who won the league (minus Kante) and they're playing an injury stricken Hull team in GW1, Mahrez scored 240 points last season

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

      Terry a doubt for GW1.

    5. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Mid looks weak, but it's actually not. You've got a setup of 10, 8.5, 6.5, 5.5 (+fodder), last season's top mids to star with were Ozil (9m? dont remember), Payet (7.5), Ayew (7.0) and Mahrez (5.5)

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

    Anybody have a link to pre season stats?

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

    A) Coutinho (or other 8m) + Deulofeu

    B) Sigurdsson + Lamela

    C) Eriksen/Alli + Bolasie

    Which one? Open to suggestions, basically have £14.5m for two midfielders.

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

      If you're going to go Liverpool GW1, get Firmino or don't bother

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

    How would you fill my last 2 spots?

    Hazard Firmino Redmond Capoue ___
    Aguero Caroll ___

    Have 18m itb.

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

      ibra and townsend

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

        Yep Ibra and Townsend

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

        Don't think United will score a lot, actually think they will struggle to create chances and therefore I don't fancy Zlatan. Have never liked townsend either

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

          Understand why you think united won't score a lot but I think there's a chance ibra could explode in the first few weeks and might be hard to get him in without losing aguero

          Townsend is a solid pick though I think, good fixtures and much more of a goal threat than their other midfielders and they lack a top striker too. And he's cheap.

    2. Costa's Counsellor
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Vardy and Tadic.

    3. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      If you want help filling your two spots there are a few websites I can recommend

  12. Costa's Counsellor
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Eriksen vs Alli is blooming tough.

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

      Vardy vs Kane is tougher.

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

        Kane easy for me

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      It's simple really just pick the one you think will score the most points.

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        No mate, you pick the one that gets mentioned on here most often.

    3. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years

      Come on man....

      1. Costa's Counsellor
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Who is man and why would I do that to him?

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

      Lamela, bookmark it

    5. Over Midwicket
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Lamela

  13. Ha.
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think the midfield is strong enough to justify a relatively poor defence?

    Foster (Jaku)
    Shaw, Friend, Stones (Kingsley, Parades)
    Alli, Firminio, Hazard, Tadic (Capoue)
    Vardy, Aguero, Gray

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

      Not bad. I have very similar. Firmino + Tadic to Mahrez + Redmond. Then 4 x 4,5m in def with Shaw

  14. Jimmy Boy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If Williams signs for Everton, is it still worth having Kone?

  15. Pariße
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Stones to start GW1?

  16. Zoostation
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Is it worth having a 4.0 defender to have Baines/Coleman/Terry?

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

      Sorry one of them

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

      I think so. Coleman is luxury worth having, because it's hard to tell which Everton CBs are nailed.

  17. Siggy in the Middle
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    How essential is Man Utd coverage. I can't afford Ibra but I'm wondering if I should make room for Martial. Current midfield is Redmond Ayew Hazard Firminio Alli

    1. Siggy in the Middle
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      United coverage?*

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

      A defender might be a good idea, but wouldn't bother with an attacker for now if you can't get Ibra.

      1. Siggy in the Middle
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        OK thanks. I have Shaw by the way.

    3. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Not in the slightest. Valencia is enough for me just now.

  18. Jonny HOW SON?
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Am I the only one who thinks that the Scout Picks were better in 2014/15 than in 2015/16?
    I mean last year there was only one team picked by the scouts, whereas the year before every scout picked his own team.
    I feel it was more helpful, we could see more opinions every week.

    #BringBackTheOldScoutPicks

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

      That is the old picks. The 3 scout picks was a one season wonder.

      1. Jonny HOW SON?
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I liked that better

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 16 Years

      I wish they were just Mark's picks tbh

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

        What do you think of Lamela mate?

  19. MattysFantasyFooty

    Thoughts on this team guys?

    Myhill Valdes
    Azpi Shaw Pieters Kone Taylor

    Aguero Ibra Gray

  20. SAM911

    degea, valdes
    pieters, friend, evans, mee, taylor
    hazard, firmino, capoue, feghouli, fletcher
    vardey, ibrahimovic, aguero

    any suggestions?

  21. Blurryface
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Doesnt Pogba make Ibra more appealing or should I go with Vardy?

    1. thepeen555
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      not for the first few weeks anyway no pre-season or training

  22. Gazpilicueta
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Many going with Kane this year?

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

      not without dembele in mids to help Kane score

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

      But they have Wanyama...

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

    Who is a better pick - Shaw or Valencia?

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

      Valencia imo

    2. Shteve
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw as Damien could see some game time at RB

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Darmian can also play LB and in one of the friendlies came on for Shaw and Valencia stayed on the pitch of I'm not mistaken.

        1. Shteve
          • 17 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yes he can play LB but RB is his position and that is where he is most likely to feature. In fact, I expect him to feature a lot at RB, especially in games utd are winning as a way of shoring it up at the back.

          Shaw was building his fitness in pre-season, hence why he was spared a bit but after 70odd mins (from memory) in the charity shield, he'll be good to go, can see Rojo replacing him for last 10/15mins of some games but apart from that he'll play every game.

          1. Tim T
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Darmian didn't even make the community shield squad - he is not coming on for Valencia in any game

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

      Valencia is the better pick and is nailed to at least start the season. Don't have to keep him forever

      1. Shteve
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Hes likely to be rotated so not the better pick as Shaw will get more mins

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

    Anyone else having the same dilemna?

    Eriksen/Firmino and Redmond; or
    Lamela and Tadic?

    Thoughts?

    I think it's pretty obvious Williams/Jagielka will be first choice pairing..

    1. Konig Luther
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Jagielka 🙁 ? ugh.. why not Funes Mori?

      1. Nabs Kebabs
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        This. I think it's pretty obvious Jagielka would be the least preferred CB.
