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.

    Who to get as 4th mid? Townsend/Deulofeu at 6.5, Redmond/Bojan/Bolasie at 6.0 or Ramirez/Fisher/Ibe/Gradel/Phillips/Feghouli at 5.5? My head hurts.

    Redmond up front, but a risk. Bojan on penalties for a decent team, but not the best fixtures. Play it safe with Townsend maybe?

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

      I like Townshend.

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

      Khazri at 6.5 - trust me!

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

      is arno out?

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

      I have Townsend at the mo but I'm struggling a bit with this.

    5. jamhot12
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Palace fixtures are nice over next 5 weeks or so

    Thoughts?

    Foster Jaku

    Pieters souare Friend Kone Shaw
    Redmond Routledge Haz Eriksen Tadic
    Gray Kun Zlatan

    Could dg Routledge to 4,5m and upgrade one of my 4,5 def

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

      Isn't Souare injured now.

      Not into Routledge either.

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

    Does Sanchez + Willian compensate for not having Hazard? Feel like it's one of either Sanchez/Hazard if you're going for Ibra and Aguero.

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

      No, it doesn't. I would wait with sanchez

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

    Hello citizens of Fantasy Football Scout. Please rate my team out of my ten.

    Foster / Jaku
    Shaw Stones Morgan Pieters Amat
    Townshend Hazard Firmino Lamela Fletcher
    Aguero Ibra Long

    How would you make it more sexy if you don't like it?

    1. Toby Lerone
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Nice. Liverpool fixtures concern me for firminho

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

        If 2nd half of last season is anything to go by some of liverpools best games came against bigger clubs. Also more chance Firmino will play as the false 9 for these.

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

    Hows it looking??? and some burning questions...

    Heaton- Foster
    Stones - Terry - Shaw- B.Smith - Paredes
    Lamela- Firmino - Hazard - Redmond - Fletcher
    Gray- Ibrah- Aguero

    Burning question - How nailed on is Redmond to start? Good pre season but will he be an impact sub???

    Will Stones start GW1???

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is Pogba not a FF asset? Seems well priced at 8.5m.

    1. Frank Black
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      * awfully priced at 8.5m

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        because he wont bring in many points? 8.5 isn't exactly a lot when compared to some other mids.

        1. Frank Black
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          Firmino is priced at 8.5 and aside from being one of the best advanced midfielders in the world he's also one of the best finishers in the PL. He's a great goalscorer and he's clearly underpriced, but Pogba at 8.5 is absolutely insane. 1M more and you get Martial who's a forward or Mkhitaryan who last season scored 23 goals and 32 assists if i'm correct.

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

      Will be playing deeper - isn't the biggest scorer either.

    3. NissA
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He isn't. Doesn't score all that much, will be playing well behind, won't be taking set pieces.

      I only put him in my team to increase the % of teams with him, so they crash, but I'm taking him out before the deadline.

  7. Frank Black
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Since it seems Palace has accepted the £25M bid from Everton for Bolasie, where would he play in Koeman's midfield? I guess at that price he'd be nailed on on the left flank with Barkley central AM and Deulofeu/Mirallas on the right?

    1. fastgun2111
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd stay away for now

      1. Basil1977
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm worried about Everton line up after todays news

      Attack too weak -IMO

      if Benteke goes to Palace, downgrade Mkhiteran to Firmino??

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Once I know who isn't firing from Haz, Mahrez and Mkhit I'll downgrade and upgrade one for the strikers.

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

      Anyone thought about playing 3 5 2 this season and pumping the extra 2.0 into the midfield?

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Was looking at this. 5th mid is usually a bench warmer. If you made your 3rd striker a bench warmer instead you can have quite a tasty midfield.

  9. weaver93
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Apparently interest from Chelsea for Kone....

    At 4.5m for Chelsea/Everton is a steal -IMO

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

      If he's nailed, yes. That's not certain.

    2. Basil1977
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Kone to Chelsea where did you hear that? Thought he was on merseyside

  10. Basil1977
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone got any ideas how Everton might line up with Williams, Kone, Bolasie? Someone said earlier they might line up with 3 at the back (Kone,Williams,Mori) and play wing backs? (Baines, Coleman)

    Doesn't make sense to have so many wide players Deulofeu, Bolasie, Mirallas, Lennon if you are going to play wing backs.

    I was hoping for 4,2,3,1 with Barkley as the number 10 behind Lukaku. (worried Barkley owner, i wanted Everton attacking cover due to good early fixtures)

  11. Mahesh_Kumar

    Bottomed. Ibe or Gradel?

    1. Basil1977
      • 9 Years

      most people on here say Gradel, but i like Ibe more

    Bench; Jakupović, Kone, Friend, Capoue

  14. How Mina You

    RMT please:
    Foster - Jakupovic
    Shaw - Stones - Cedric - Kone - Souare
    Sanchez - Willian - Lamela - Redmond - Capoue
    Aguero - Ibrahimovic - Gray

    Unsure on Lamela, Willian and Gray - Is it worth bring one of the West Ham attackers in?

  15. S.Agueroooooo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) Townsend + 4.5 def

    B) Lamela + 4.0 def

    *No other Spurs/ Crystal P players

    1. Basil1977
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A Townsend going to get more game time without Bolaise also there are no nailed 4.0 mill defenders

  17. Swan - Villa Proud

    Narrowing down my choices.

    A) Double up with Redmond/Tadic
    B) Stick with Deulofeu/Tadic and a 4.0 DEF (if I want Stones)
    C) Take a chance with Ayew/Redmond
    D) Same as B but with Towsend/Tadic
    E) Sacrifice Ibra for the $$

  19. bubbinho
    • 16 Years

    Cabaye + Long
    or
    Redmond + Carroll ?

    1. RichieW

      Cabaye injured? Thought i heard on here lasr night.

    Foster / Heaton
    Valencia / Stones / Azpi / Friend / Souare
    Sigurdsson / Hazard / Redmond / Lamela / Feghouli

    Too light midfield? Too expensive defence?

    1. Toby Lerone
      • 10 Years

      Not sure if siggy is gonna make first game

      1. KUNingas

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

    Here is my team:

    De Gea/ Pickford

    Sagna, Stones, Bailly, Morgan, Cedric
    Alli, Mahrez, Xhaka, Ayew, Pogba
    Aguero, Musa, Grabban.

    Formation. 3-5-2

    Feel free to comment guys...

    1. Toby Lerone

      All over the place if I'm honest

    2. RichieW

    Been stuck on deulofeu as he's been on flames pre season. Wondering whether I shold avoid and go for townsend now?

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

      My exact thoughts. He and Kun were the 2 constants in my team. Now I'm not so sure.

  24. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone thinking 3-5-2 and putting extra money into midfield?

    5th mid is usually a bench warmer (4.5). If you made your 3rd striker a bench warmer instead (4.5) you can have quite a tasty midfield.

    Plus looking back at past year's results. The top midfielders tend to bring in more points than the top strikers by the end of season.
