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.

    Already have Ayew (7.5m) and Townsend (6.5m) but, with 1.0 ITB, should I upgrade Townsend to Lamela (7m)?

    1. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      yes

    2. Park the bus
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I'd leave Ayew for another week if you can

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

        Ooh hadn't considered this actually - seems like a very sensible option IMO, leaving me with 1.5m ITB. Thanks!

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes.

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

      Nope

    5. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Where do you say Ayew's role at West Ham? I'm not sure if his lion share will be diminished with other talents around. I'd be tempted by Lamela.

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

        I reckon he'll be playing off the striker or on the right, depending on when Lanzini returns from injury.

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

    How does this bunch look?

    Foster Jaku
    Shaw Stones Williams Friend Pieters
    Hazard Erkisen Siggy Ramirez Fletcher
    Kun Ibra Gray

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

    A. Mahrez + Pieters
    OR
    B. Alli + Williams

  4. epj448
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hi all, any feedback much appreciated on my team:

    Heaton Foster

    Friend Ash Williams Kone Bailly Ake

    Hazard KDB Eriksen Townsend Ibe

    Long Carroll Aguero.

    Cheers.

  5. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Where would you shave off 0.5m for these lot?

    Foster - Heaton
    Shaw - Stones - Williams - Friend - Mee
    Hazard - Martial - Firmino - Tadic - Ramirez
    Aguero - Carroll - Gray

    My thoughts:

    A) Ramirez > Capoue
    B) Firmino > Coutinho/Ramsey
    C) Martial + Firmino > Mane + Pogba
    D) Something else

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Jako as a 4m keeper

      1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Ah could be a nice one, will already have Burnley cover in Mee so that should be OK. Thanks

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

      Heaton to Jakupovic?
      Tadic to Redmond?
      A looks decent as well.

      1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Either Heaton or Ramirez will be cast aside it looks like, although downgrading Ramirez also gives an extra £0.5m to play with...

    3. Vincent Adultman
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      A

      1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks.

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

      A would do, and you won't have benching dilemmas.

      1. Dr Kenneth Noisewater
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        True, just a shame as I fancy Boro's opening fixtures.

        Worth using the extra £0.5m to do Firmino > Mane? Or just keep it for price increases?

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

      one of the goalies to Jakupovic

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

    How is this looking?

    Foster (Jakupovic)
    Valencia / Stones / Friend (Evans / Smith)
    Hazard / Firmino / Alli / Redmond (Capoue)
    Aguero / Kane / Gray

  7. avolaris
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hey lads, can i please have some advice on this team or any chances you like better (I am willing to change formation if you think there is a good one) cheers!

    Courtois
    Bellerin - Souare - Azpilicueta (Subs Paredes, smith)

    Firmino - Payet - Shaqiri Lamela (SUB Hojbjerg)

    Aguero - Costa - Long
    (3-4-3)

    1. AJ24
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Bellerin quite expensive, considering Arsenal are struggling field cbs, might be prudent to go with someone else?

  8. Hakuna Morata
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Hi Please rate this team.

    De Gea (Jacku)
    Stones || Valencia || Williams || Evans || Paredes
    Hazard || Sigurdsson || Ayew || Redmond || Leko
    Gray || Costa || Aguero

    Would you upgrade Costa to Vardy or Kane? or any other change ?
    I have 2 M extra for any upgrade

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

    Team Value (TV) check.

    I'm up to 102.7m with that Stones & Williams news. Hope to be at 105m by GW1. Great playing the markets this season.

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

      Ronaldo back at United is going to make the captaincy easy imo .

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

        😛

        How's things Westy? Team shaping up?

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

    any 4.0 playing defenders? Amat?

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Amat best hope. Probably not any others aside from Lenihan

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

      None are nailed on, but a few could start like Lenihan, Amat, Brad Smith and Marc Wilson.

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

    Which 6.5 FWD?

    a) gray
    b) Llorente
    c) Carroll
    d) Wilson

    1. AJ24
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      e) Long..

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

        I'm just going with Tadic. and maybe redmond swell

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Opted for Grey myself. Was tempted by Long but Southampton's early fixtures, plus new manager turned me off.

  12. backflipbedlem
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    So like all, need a bit of help with my team.

    Cech (Jakupovic)
    Walker Fuchs Holding (Paredes Kingsley)
    Townsend Mahrez Eriksen Payet (Fletcher)
    Vardy Aguero Borini
    0 in bank

    So, dont want Borini in my team,
    want to bring in Tadic,
    Thinking of Payet to Ayew, madness? but would give me 2m
    Just cant drop Mahrez,
    not jumping on ibra band wagon!

    Help!

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

      Ok, So I've gone
      Payet > Tadic
      Borini > Grey
      1m in bank

  13. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    A) Redmond & Kone
    or
    B) Watmore & Walker

    Already have 4 strong mids including Tadic..

  14. michudagawd
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Eriksen or Firmino, who would you choose to start with?

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Firmino and get Spurs coverage elsewhere (Kane, Lamela)

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

      I was too confused with which one i wanted. so i downgraded sanchez and took both. Eriksen has the better fixture to start though although i don't really think it matters too much with firmino since its against the good teams his usually playing the front man in the false 9

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

    I need someone to talk me out of having Rooney in my team.

    1. AJ24
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      If fit - Lukaku

  16. Garlana
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Fairly good chance of both stones and Williams starting gw1?

    1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Zero chance for Williams. He's had no preseason.

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

        Thanks, might avoid for a bit then, stones seems a given

  17. adstomko

    Eriksen or Ayew + 1m?

  18. davies

    Silva / Couthino / Feghouli / William / Capoue or Fletcher
    Aguero / Vardy / Lukaku

    Any suggestions?

    i expect a lot of Feghouli
    Not Sure Stones will play GW1

    Foster / Jaku

    Thank you!

    1. HUMAN TRIPOD
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Front 3 looks good a lot spent there though. Maybe downgrade Kane, upgrade defence and Red/Deu to Lamela/Eriksen?

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

        Like this?

        Foster / Jaku
        SHAW / STONES / TERRY / Koné / Lenihan
        Hazard / Firmino / LAMELA / Deulofeu / Capoue
        Agüero / GRAY / Vardy

        1. HUMAN TRIPOD
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 8 months ago

          I reckon so but up to you. Aguero Gray Vardy seems a well liked front line on here

  28. Max Dewit
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Best 6.5 Forward? For first 3 weeks.
    A. Negredo vs STK, SUN, WBA
    B. Long vs WAT, MAN, SUN
    C. Gray vs SWA, LIV, CHE
    D. Rondon vs CPA , EVE, MID

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

      Gray

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

      I'm going with Long. Promoted teams are always hard to predict, and Pulis teams are never likely to score a lot. I could also add Llorente to the mix, has BUR, HUL, LEI

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

    Stones likely to start GW1? He should right?

  30. HUMAN TRIPOD
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    1) Stones and £4m (any that play?)
    2) Kone and Friend

    Rest of defence:
    Foster Heaton
    Baines Walker Pieters *** ***

    1. Unbowed Unbent N'Golo
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Stones + 4
