FPL points projections live for 2024/25

Our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points projections for 2024/25 are now live for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout (not a member yet? Sign up here!)

If you’re torn between several early squad drafts, the Rate My Team (RMT) tool can help out by predicting how many points your own team will score over a series of upcoming Gameweeks.

A breakdown of these player points can then be seen in our projections tables.

These projected points will, of course, be fine-tuned closer to the Gameweek 1 deadline as we learn more information. The pre-season friendlies, for instance, will tell us a lot more about each team’s favoured tactics and personnel.

Below, Premium Members can see the estimated highest-scoring players until Gameweek 6 but you can get the full picture here.

Our thanks to the brains behind the scenes, TopMarx and Chris Atkinson, for their work on this.

FPL GAMEWEEKS 1-6 FPL POINTS PROJECTIONS

ABOUT RATE MY TEAM (RMT) AND POINTS PROJECTIONS

WHAT IS RATE MY TEAM?

RMT is a tool designed to approximate how many FPL points your team will score over a series of Gameweeks. This takes into account captaincy, vice-captains and automatic substitution points.

WHAT ARE PROJECTIONS?

Projections come in two forms – Season Projections and Six-Gameweek Projections (SGP).

Season projections show algorithm-generated predictions for every FPL player. This includes goals, assists, clean sheets, minutes played, bonus points, yellow cards and, most importantly, FPL points.

SGP shows algorithm-generated predictions for every player’s FPL points in each of the next six Gameweeks, calculating their points per million value over this period. These numbers are the same numbers as the ones used in RMT.

HOW ARE THE VALUES FOR RATE MY TEAM AND PROJECTIONS CALCULATED?

The values are generated by an algorithm that uses both current and historical data. There is also constant human monitoring so that the model can respond quickly to news, injuries or tactical changes that otherwise the algorithm may underestimate.

We do this to generate the best values with as little bias as possible.

HOW DO I LOAD MY TEAM INTO RMT?

To load your team into RMT (after Gameweek 1 only), you need to type in your FPL ID. If you can’t find your FPL ID, instructions on how to find it are on the Rate My Team page.

Before Gameweek 1, head to the Build My Team page and enter your team manually via ‘Add Player’.

WHAT DO XM AND ADJP MEAN?

Placing the cursor over a player’s predicted FPL points in a Gameweek will show an xM and adjP score.

xM stands for expected minutes – It’s the number of minutes the algorithm is predicting a player to have. Note that this isn’t an exact Gameweek-specific prediction but rather an average number of minutes. Therefore, while a player might be expected to play 90 minutes, their xM will be lower since there’s a chance they might miss the game or get substituted.

adjP stands for adjusted points – It’s the projected points score if you know a player will take part in the match (i.e. his xM is not 0). It should be used for deciding who to captain and who to bench.

Both of these values combine to generate a final score.

WHY DOES RMT SAY TO START A PLAYER WITH A LOWER PREDICTED SCORE THAN A SECOND PLAYER?

Usually, this occurs because the algorithm predicts a player (eg/ goalkeeper) will either play the full game or nothing at all.

Player A – High adjP, very low xM – Low RMT score

Player B – Medium adjP, very high xM – Medium RMT score

Whilst Player A is unlikely to play, the most common scenario is either getting 90 minutes or none at all. Therefore, RMT thinks it’s worth starting him to make use of the high adjP if he plays, otherwise the safer option of Player B will autosub in.

Therefore it suggests picking Player A over B, despite the former appearing to score lower on RMT. 

WHEN DO UPDATES HAPPEN?

While there’s no fixed update timetable, it is pretty much continuous.

Monday tends to have a big update after the weekend’s events. Thursday and Friday will have updates in the evenings following any news that emerges from pre-match press conferences.

CAN I SEE A FULL LIST OF ALL PLAYERS IN RMT?

You can find the complete list here. It can also be found by clicking the ‘Players’ option in the sub-menu under “Rate My Team” on the main Premium Members Area menu.

CAN I ORDER BY SCORES FOR ONE GAMEWEEK?

From the player list in RMT or projections, click on the Gameweek header to sort by that Gameweek’s predicted score.

HOW DO I CHANGE THE GAMEWEEKS I VIEW RMT OVER?

On top of the Rate My Team page, whilst your team is loaded, select “First Gameweek” or “Last Gameweek”. By default, the first Gameweek will be the next Gameweek and the last Gameweek will be in six Gameweeks’ time, but these can be manually altered to suit your research.

    Choosing a Corrie (Coronation Street) team name, to go with my moniker....

    A) Phœnix Rovers Return
    B) Sassy Bet Lynch Mob
    C) Betty Turpin Hotshot
    D) Gail Platt David Mum
    E) Watts Curly Whirlies

    Any more suggestions welcome?

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 8 Years

      B is good

    2. Headless
      • 15 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Ogden's outcasts

  2. Barnaby Wilde
    • 1 Year
    2 months, 1 day ago

    I’m considering Timber. Will he be nailed?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Can't say yet

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Try Wood

    3. Fish up a tree
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      He started the first game of last season at LB & then got injured in that game.
      LB is up for grabs & I think he could nail down that spot.
      Keep an eye on preseason

    4. Sandy Ravage
      • 8 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      He'll be glued to the bench

      1. Havertzer of sorrow
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        A wooden timber bench.

  3. Emiliano Sala
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 1 day ago

    I know it’s too early, but:

    A) Wood(BOU) + Mbeumo(CRY) or other 7.0
    B) Gakpo(ips) + CHO(BOU)

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Awoniyi is back, so B

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        So many people with Wood in their teams, you're the only one preventing people from the trap!

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 7 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          Going to stop now...

      2. Emiliano Sala
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Awoniy is injured again

          1. theplayer
            • 10 Years
            2 months, 1 day ago

            Not even worried about Awoniyi. Wood is first choice and the one actually scoring the goals

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 7 Years
              2 months, 1 day ago

              Yeah I'd buy wood too 🙄

              1. theplayer
                • 10 Years
                2 months, 1 day ago

                You do realise Awoniyi was back last season and was on the bench?

                Wood scored 14 goals last season. A pretty good return so no reason to see Awoniyi starting anytime soon.

  4. adstomko
    • 8 Years
    2 months, 1 day ago

    Sels
    Trent - Van Dijk - Gvardiol
    Salah (C) - Palmer - Gordon - Kudus - Garnacho
    Isak - Højlund
    (Turner - Colwill - Mykolenko - Chiwome)

    Big at the back. Don’t see any value in mid range defenders.

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Yeah good team. I'm in the big at the back club too

      1. adstomko
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Don’t think the 4.5m rotation is worth the hassle

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 7 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          Yeah you'll end up playing the wrong defenders anyway :ap

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Wouldn't go anywhere near Hojlund myself

      1. adstomko
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        why not? Think he's guaranteed to start for the first few games

  5. Barnaby Wilde
    • 1 Year
    2 months, 1 day ago

    Best 5.0 defender?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Maatsen

    2. Steal Your Faes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Reece James will have my attention once he's back from suspension and before he's inevitably injured again. Probably around the thirty minute mark of his first game back.

    3. Eyes of Blue
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Munoz. Very attacking for a good Palace team that have nice fixtures to start the season.

  6. tim
    • 15 Years
    2 months, 1 day ago

    Is there an article about the new chips?

  7. Zimo
    • 6 Years
    2 months, 1 day ago

    ESR to Palace could give us the 5.5 we all need

    1. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      50% ownership pending

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      I actually think he's good enough to play for Arsenal tbh. At least he'll get good game time at palace

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Who would you leave out of the Arsenal lineup for him?

        1. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          Martinelli / Trossard

          1. Bobby Digital
            • 7 Years
            2 months, 1 day ago

            ESR doesn't play out wide though

            1. TheBiffas
              • 3 Years
              2 months, 1 day ago

              He's played on the left plenty of times

          2. Herger
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 2 Years
            2 months, 1 day ago

            Yeah, don’t mind that - could be worth a go.

      2. Emiliano Sala
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        He is not good at allll
        Will find his way to bench slowly

    3. Jonesfromthere
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Arsenal fan. He’s the perfect Olise replacement. Flair player, takes people on and can produce moments. Will 100% be in my team if he signs.

  8. jayzico
    • 13 Years
    2 months, 1 day ago

    Yo. Been spying some of the RMTs while I'm in hospital. Here's my first attempt. Defence is lame A F! Just trying to fit those 3 big hitters in. So far so good?

    Or back to drawing board.

    Flekken
    Martinez - Burn - Andersen
    Salah (C) - Palmer - Gross - Gibbs White
    Isak - Haaland - Muniz
    (Turner - HB - Winks - Faes)

    Be as brutal as you want.

    1. Bartowski
      • 14 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Gross is off to Dortmund.

    2. Stimps
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Maybe consider Andreas instead of Gross? Great fixtures and possibly on pens.

    3. iFash@FPL
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Difficult to fault this lineup, safe Gross. I have 10 similar players over 15, in my 4th and current draft.

      • jayzico
        • 13 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Nice. Thanks guys.

      • Bushwhacker
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Not really. Long as Palmer, Salah and Palmer score all the points in FPL you’re gold mind.

    4. One for All
      • 6 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      A)

      Sanchez
      Gvardiol, Taa, Burn, Konsa
      Palmer, Salah, Son
      Watkins, Isak, Muniz

      Ward, Hardwood, Winks, Yarmoliuk

      B)

      Pickford
      Gvardiol, Martinez, Burn
      Salah, Son, Palmer, Eze
      Watkins, Isak, Pedro

      Turner, Hardwood, Winks, Konsa

      C)

      Pickford
      Gvardiol, Taa, Burn, Konsa
      Salah, Gordon, Garnacho
      Haaland, Isak, Munoz

      Turner, Hardwood, Yarmoliuk, Winks

      A, B or C guys?

      1. Moxon
        • 10 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        B

      2. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        No arsenal attacker in any of your drafts? I'd take B with Saka over Son.

        1. One for All
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          1st 2 fixtures for Spurs looks good. Was gonna go for Saka but fixtures not great and Arsenal have lost twice to Aston Villa in the league.

    5. KeanosMagic
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Here we go:
      Flekken Valdimsrsson
      Konsa Guhei Burn Martinez Faces
      Salah Odegaard Foden Palmer Johnson
      Watkins Isak 4.5

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        I like it. Andersen a no brainer over Guehi tho for me.

    6. mic_check12
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Alright chaps, anyone looking for a cash league can email me at fplcashleague@gmail.com

      If anyone doubts how legit they are then ask ben crellin who plays every year

      1. Uncle Baby Billy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        A cash league that Ben Crellin's in? That's a hard swerve from me, mate.

        1. mic_check12
          • 11 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          Haha yeah the standard is good, it’s not for beginners

        2. St Pauli Walnuts
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          I just about made a cash spot last time around, though invariably Crellin beat me!

    7. Ballito
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Sanchez
      Mykolenko, Munoz, Martinez, Saliba
      Salah, Gordon, Odegaard, Hudson-Odo
      Haarland, Isak

      Flekken, Winks, Harwood-Bellis, Stewart

    8. Tinmen
      • 11 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      What we think of Darwin at 7.5?

      I know he gets plenty of warranted abuse, but he got 11 goals 11 assists and only played two thirds of the matches

      1. TallestJohn
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        No chance I'll start with him. Very difficult to time it right, I didn't own him at all last season and never felt scared because even if he finally gets that mythical haul, you know he'll probably be back on the bench in a few games.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Wait to see if Slot prefers his countryman Gakpo over Nunez.

      3. Eyes of Blue
        • 2 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Very possible I start with him if he’s nailed. He can be (very) frustrating, but he still gets tons of chances and has good fixtures to start the season with.

      4. Bushwhacker
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Totally depends on how Slot plays. If its Nunez up front and Gakpo behind him .. could be gold.

      5. Milner is the goat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        1 month, 29 days ago

        Im going to go for him. Im very certain he'll start at number 9 and I think Gakpo is likely to start on the left wing. He has great fixtures and I think he will shine under slot this season.

    9. FPL_RubberDucky
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 months, 1 day ago

      OK so here is a very basic question.

      As there is much talk about Haaland's GW2 fixture and this fixture being one of the main reasons why he is in their team.

      Does the predicted 8 points (16 if captained ) warrant £15.0m ?

      1. TallestJohn
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Not really, but you're getting him for the possible 34 points

      2. Andy_Social
        • 12 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        There's a chance he turns up in other games too, you know. Eight 'green' fixtures in the first eleven.

        1. FPL_RubberDucky
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          2 months, 1 day ago

          Well obviously but the narrative is always about GW2.

          Purely on the RMT there is not enough difference between Haaland and Palmer/Son/Saka/KDB/Odegaard, to be worth the extra cost (imo).

    10. The-Red-1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Which trio? If B, Mad or Gordon?

      Odegaard Johnson Isak
      Saka Madison/Gordon Muniz

      Thanks!

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        B Gordon

      2. notlob legin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Just A for me but I'd have Bruno F over Odegaard

    11. R.C.
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      Rashford or Garnacho?

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 7 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Nacho

        1. R.C.
          • 7 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          I’m worried he won’t start gw1

      2. notlob legin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Last 2 posts now I've gone the opposite to Bobby Digital LOL but Rashford for me as I think he has the higher ceiling

        1. R.C.
          • 7 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          Do you think Ruud might have a positive impact on him?

          1. notlob legin
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            2 months, 1 day ago

            I just feel he's a better player than last season - if his head is straight he's a bargain at 7.0m - and for reference I'm not a Man Utd fan

            1. R.C.
              • 7 Years
              2 months, 1 day ago

              There’s lots of competition though still right?

              1. notlob legin
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 8 Years
                2 months, 1 day ago

                I don't know - I probably won't have any Man Utd for the first few weeks so not looked into them in depth - but I'd still choose Rashford over Garnacho

      3. David Parkinson
        • 2 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Having held Rashford all season in Fantrax and studied his stats, I am convinced he was on strike. He's clever though, got away with it and if people did question his form, he was ready with the victim and race cards. Garnacho is the answer.

      4. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Rashford.

        But I'd avoid all MUN until we see some form. Garnacho's actual output is extremely mediocre and Rashford was just straight terrible last year. Need to see some promise before investing.

        1. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          2 months, 1 day ago

          I'm sure I've seen Rashford in your drafts?

      5. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Assuming you’re going Yoro then getting one of Rashy or the Argentinian Messi means you can’t do the Hojlund/Zirksee double up

      6. Bushwhacker
        • 5 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Nacho. Rashford already poor in one half of a pre season game, still a decent chance he leaves to help their PSR.

    12. Khalico
      • 9 Years
      2 months, 1 day ago

      What's the best 4.5m starting, 4m bench goalkeeper combo to have?

      1. David Parkinson
        • 2 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        The West Ham duo yielded 140pts under iffy management. Expect them to crack 150 this time as Lopetegui knows his onions.

      2. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 months, 1 day ago

        Areola and Fabianski or
        Flekken and Valdimarsson

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          * or Sels and Turner ( if Turner stays)

            Didn't Forest just buy some 6'8" keeper?

              True enough 6ft 8 in Brazilian Carlos Miguel, just not added yet to game.

                * correction is now added at 4.5 so probably kills off Sels/Turner as 4.5/4 combo

        I'm on Sels/Turner atm. Was on WHU double up, but not liking their opening fixtures. I agree about Lopetegui though and might go for Areola later...

        Flekken and his backup

            I’ve gone this route, for now.

          Two Leicester keepers for 8!

        Not sure if anyone has mentioned this already but Jaden Philogene re-signed for Villa today and plays in the same position as Morgan Rogers, and I'd imagine he's ahead of him on the pecking order

        1. Jonesfromthere

          Why ahead?

            Great season in the championship, highly rated, more experience

        Areola Fabianski
        Schar Munoz Mykolenko
        Salah Gordon(v) Eze Nkunku CHO
        Haaland Isak(c)

        Fabianski | JPedro Tosin* THB

        * assuming he's now nailed at Chelsea

        The idea here is to move Haaland to Watkins as and when and then redistribute the 6m into higher quality mids once they're settled, ie tired England boys.

        1. TheBiffas

          Schar ain't worth 5.5 imo and Tosin won't be nailed

            Dan is million cheaper than Fabian. Porro is probably best 5.5, depending on Arsenal though.

        Anyone interested in starting with Jota? Darwin, Diaz, Gakpo all will be back late from holidays so he should start the season.
