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.

    Considering defensive midfielders usually don't gather very many points why have almost 25% of people got Kante in their team?

      Casuals

    2. RᴀᴄɪɴɢTᴏᴀᴅ

      Majority of people who play are casuals.

    So where's the Williams news then? I here he's leaving Swansea for Everton?

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

      Why didn't you just type Williams Everton into google instead of asking on here ?

      1. grooveymatt65
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        cuz i thoughts you were all my friends 🙁

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

      Not confirmed but very likely to happen

  4. Park_The_Bus
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    What are the chances of Alexis starting on GW1? I'm guessing very slim seeing as nobody seems to have him in their team

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

      Nope, people here are just silently ignoring him because we don't want to fit him in

    2. Mavric Marco
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      I have him 🙂

      He will 100% start IMO

      Looked sharp against City and fully fit after the Copa America. Giroud isn't ready so he could even play up top (but hopefully not) and against L'pool so they'll need to field a strong team.

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

      We will start, I have him.

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

      He'll start, possibly upfront too vs Liverpool.

    5. El Muñeco
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      He will start due to no Giroud, Ozil and Walcott not being trusted by Wenger

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

    Stones or Morgan?

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

      Stones for me! Pep will sort him out like he did Pique

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

      I have both, solved that dilemma.

  6. Mavric Marco
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Bottomed

    With Mike Phelan staying in charge of Hull does this make Diomande an fwd option at 4.5?

    (all be it a poor enabler option for a 3-5-2)

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

      Mate Diomande will score 15 goals minimum, I believe in the lad

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Like it 😀

    2. TheDogTor
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      potentially, but 3-4-3 is the preferred formation by most. I wouldn't want to have Diomande as anything but a bench player at the absolute most.

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        I'm a maverick, not a sheep 😉

        Having him next to KunBra gives me a better midfield 5

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

    Fact.*
    Souare (CPL) will score as many points as Stones over the first 7 gwks for 0.5m less.

    WBA tot BOU mid STO sun eve
    vs
    SUN sto WHM mun BOU swa tot

    I reckon maybe 3 clean sheets each.

    *opinion not fact

    1. Milner4eva

      Stones is a fun pick though

    2. Kuqi Monster
      • 15 Years

      souare carrying an injury?

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

      3 in 7 when Palace had 8 all of last season? Might be a stretch

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

      Palace won't keep a single CS in those games... Fact.*

  8. Martial Eriksen
    • 9 Years

    Valencia Stones Targett (Friend, Kingsley) too risky to start with?

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Targett?

  12. Sweden11

    A) Ayew

    D) Lamela

    1. shiva3593
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Lamela.. Pre-season Punt and good initial fixtures..

  13. shiva3593
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    RMT guys.. Suggestions most welcome
    Foster/jaku
    Valencia/Stones/Friend/Pieters/McAuley
    Hazard/Oscar/Lamela/Siggy/Capoue
    Aguero/Ibra/Gray

    After 2-3GWs.. Around international break.. Will swap Oscar+Siggy to Payet or Ozil+(5.5/6.0M) Mid
    BY then the lineups will be much more clear.. About Routledge/Redmond/ibe/Feghlouli/Iwobi/walcott and all.

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

      I would be careful of having hazard and oscar. Large reliance on good attacking performances for Chelsea. With Conte in charge we may not be thrashing opponents with 3 or 4 goals but playing for a safer 1-0

      1. shiva3593
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        Hmm yeah .. I cant let go off Haz.. Adn oscar good fixtures +pre season .. I will swap him for Payet or ozil during international break.

    Is Stones nailed on for Man City defence?

    1. Gazpilicueta

  15. Max Dewit

    How does this look?

    Foster // Jakupovic

    Shaw / Azpilicueta / Stones / Friend / Williams

    Firmino / Tadic / Lamela / Siggy / Fletcher

    Rondon / Aguero / Kane

  16. Shaw must go on

    as per sky sports website;

    PALACE IN TALKS FOR BENTEKE

    Crystal Palace are in talks to sign Christian Benteke from Liverpool. Palace have returned to the negotiating table after their £25m bid was turned down last month.

    Liverpool value the striker at £32m, and believe that is fair considering the prices currently being paid for players by Premier League clubs.

    Palace are keen to complete the deal before their first game of the season against West Brom on Saturday.

    Liverpool paid Aston Villa £32.5m for Benteke last summer.

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

      There goes my defence

      1. thepeen555
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        how come? what do you need to change?

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

          Would sell Gray for him if this goes through

          1. thepeen555
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 8 months ago

            ah so you need another mil

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Has he even kicked a ball pre season?

      1. thepeen555
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        not too much no, so i think maybe a few weeks before putting him in

    3. I am 42

  18. Revival

    Will Stones go straight into the City team vs Sunderland

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

      If Kompany is out, you would think so.

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

      give him a chance to put a shirt on.....

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

        you said that joke already

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

      Think it would be a big ask after one week. But I'm sure he'll become nailed and even if he is 5.5 by then it's still a bargain. I think City will take time to get it right under Pep too. Could even be a disaster. For a while.

  19. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    If Kompany somehow can stay fit, will Stones even be a starter? Not sure he will oust Otamendi from the first XI.

  20. Super_Frank
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Is Townsend on free kicks, corners and pens? Can anybody confirm

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

      Didn't Cabaye take pens last year?

  21. The Bandit
    • 15 Years

    All this optimism ahead of the inevitable gw1 heartbreak 😛

  23. I Member

    Who would you play this week:

    A) Deulofeu (TOT)
    B) Targett (WAT)

  24. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Anybody not think Valencia could be heavily rotated with Darmian?

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

      Nope just you .

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 8 months ago

      Yes. Shaw for me.

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

      There is that fear, but we're all hoping to cash in dozens of attacking returns Shaw could only dream of.

  25. thepeen555
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    looks like i could be changing vardy for benteke - maybe not straight away anyway as lack of pre-season

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

    A. Mahrez + Pieters
    OR
    B. Alli + Williams

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

      A

  27. Sheeeit
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Palace back in for Bentekers. Would definitely be an interesting option, still would hard for him to steal that 3rd striking spot off Gray for me though.

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

      Tekkers is on a different planet IMO, easy better pick than Gray

      1. thepeen555
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 8 months ago

        totally, just wish he had more game time to be in with a chance to play 90 mins

  28. liiusions
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Anything on how long Bertrand is out for? Targett for 4.5 could be a steal

  29. El Muñeco
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    Assuming both Kone and A.Williams transfers to Everton go through, are we thinking that this would be the preferred CB partnership?

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

      No, Williams with one of FM or Jags

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

      Jagielka probably won't lose his place in the team. And I can't see us signing both of them with Funes Mori in the side. none of those players would be happy being 4th choice

  30. Hobolicious
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 8 months ago

    After so many drafts I finally feel like I am closing in a team I am happy with.

    Any thoughts/suggestions on this?

    Foster - Jakupovic
    Valencia - Stones - Williams - Friend - Amat
    Hazard - Firmino - Tadic - Deulofeu - Capoue
    Agüero - Kane - Gray
