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.

    Why so little love for Kane? See many teams with Aguero, Ibra and Vardy but don't you think Kane has the same potential to score? Also feel like you know what you get from Kane while many things are new in the others team

    1. JAC THE CAT
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I like Kane more than Aguero

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

      Very average Euros and only the one PS game. More love for Ibra/Vardy around here, rightly or wrongly. Time will tell...

      The Dembele effect

      1. Sweden11
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Kane surely can score without Dembele?

    4. ManTree(v2!) or just JAY!
      • 15 Years

      can only have 3 strikers

    RMT please:

    Jakupovic Heaton

    Ramirez Hazard Lamela Redmond Deulofeu
    Aguero Ibrahimovic Gray.

      7/10

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

      7. Mids a little weak IMO.

      1. Cantona90
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Redmond to Holjberg and Lamela to Firmino?

    3. dan313
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      The attack looks pretty potent. But you have obviously had to sacrifice a little in the mid. With Stones move to city the defence looks like it will be utilised fully in a rotation until things settle and we see how managers are lining up

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

    of 10?
    GK: Heaton

    Def: Baines,Walker,Valencia

    Mid:,Hazard,Eriksen,Bolasie,Tadic

    Forward: Aguero, Gray,Vardy

    Bench:Jaku, Routledge,Friend,Paredes

    Will rotate heaton and Jaku according to fixtures.
    Also do you think Firmino instead of Eriksen?
    Thanks to everyone who replies!!

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

      Like this side, nice cover from all big hitters expect UTD attack. Tough to get them all in. 8/10

    2. dan313
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Really well rounded team. I'd only draw a comment on Baines. I'd say Van Dijk would be a better option for the same money.

  4. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    First RMT of the season. You lot helped me to a personal best last year, best of luck to all this time around!

    Valdes - Jakupovic
    Stones - Shaw - Souare - Evans - Wollschied
    Hazard - Deulofeu - Lamela - Firmino - Capoue
    Aguero - Ibrahimovic - Gray

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

      7 of front 8 same as mine. I have Wilson though.

      not too sure about Souare though. Change wolly to pieters. otherwise looks good atwood

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

        Wilson was/is tempting. Not too sure about Souare starting, or you just don't like him? Will def change to Pieters now I've thought about it.

        Cheers.

  5. IWR

    Foster (Jaku)
    Shaw, Stones, Friend (Pieters, Evans)

    @ Cheesus...

    sorry mate. got sidetracked at work. to answer your question from the 1st page...yes, I'm playing as well. first time here also mate. have a group of lads that do a draft league and we used FPL and did it manually, but probably going to use that one now.

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

      No worries, mate

      It worked well for me last Friday. The draft took around 1hr on Dugout and you had two minutes to make your pick. I'm in a league of ten people so there's plenty of star players to go around.

      I looked at about 180 different players on my shortlist beforehand and picked an 18 man squad of 2 keepers, 5 defenders, 6 midfielders and 5 strikers. The only pressure comes at the end when you're all delving in the bargain bucket for the best possible squad filler!

      I'll post my team if you're interested.

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

        good stuff. looking forward to it myself. no need mate...hope you got the players you wanted though! 🙂

        back to work, hope to catch up with you just to see how things are going!

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

          Cheers mate.

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

        Full squad from draft night last Friday.

        GK: Adrian, Boruc
        DEF: Smalling, Terry, Funes-Mori, Morgan, Pieters
        MID: Mkhitaryan, Barkley, Lamela, Bolasie, Antonio, Shaqiri
        FWD: Zlatan, Sturridge, Wilson, Rondon, Deeney

        Done a couple of transfers to bring in some undrafted players following injuries to Shaqiri and Everton being on the verge of signing Kone.

        Henderson in for Shaqiri
        Kone in for Funes-Mori

  8. The Colonel
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    No 5m defenders catch the eye. Better off going 2 4.5m rather than a 5.0 and a 4.0?

    If I go for 5.0, any love for Keane at Burnley?

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

      don't fancy stones?

    2. Manani
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Stones Williams all very good 4.5m

    3. Al Bundy
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      What? 5m defenders look brilliant this year. Stones, Moreno, Williams/Mori, Cedric all great options

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

        Stay away from Moreno. Cedric also broke my heart last season, other 3 great value.

  9. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    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

  10. JAC THE CAT

    Ramirez as a 4th midfielder?

      1. JAC THE CAT
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        That's not changed, I don't really rate him but starting to see him enter more RMT's

                Ha ha 🙂

                Is he really that good? I'm going to take another look at him then. I'm staring to think so many people can't be wrong, can they!?

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

      Currently my 4th mid

    2. Oooof

      I'm on that at the moment.

  11. Manani

    Ramirez of gradel?

  12. Kirwan24
    • 11 Years

    Whatever about United overpaying for Pogba, but City took the piss with that price for John Stones

    should i go with this team?

    1. thepeen555
      • 9 Years

      no with the current ongoings at swansea, if they sign this new guy he could be a better shout in a few weeks

    Hey guys, why is Souare yellow flagged in FPL? Anyone know anything of his injuries?

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

      Hamstring over the weekend apparently - had to come off

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

    Why the Kone love?

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

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      RFM?

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      People think it will be 3 at the back with Baines and Coleman as wing backs

    3. Worzel Gummidge
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Not obvious at all and neither Williams or Kone have arrived. Mori is also in the mix. Kone can also play LB I believe or Everton may play 3 at the back.

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

          Not nailed on - exactly my point.

          1. Worzel Gummidge
              9 years, 8 months ago

              Not really what you said, was it. Your point was Williams/Jagielka are the first choice pairing. Which isn't the case and not obvious as per my previous comment.

        RMT please:

        de Gea (Jakupovic)
        Dann - Stones(MC) - Walker (Friend, Fernandez)
        Alli - Deulofeu - Sanchez - Hazard (Routledge)
        Rhodes - Ibra - Gray

        Dann - one of the most scoring def last season.
        Chose Deulofeu as he was playing frw even pairing Lukaku, so more chances to score points.
        Same reason for Sanchez (until Giroud returns)
        Rhodes and Gray played well on pre-season and they look pretty good for their price

        Can anyone comment the team or suggest smth?
