FPL points projections: Salah and De Bruyne lead the way in Double Gameweek 36

Our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points projections for Gameweeks 36-38 are available to read for Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout.

These have been freshly updated after Friday’s press conferences to take into account any injuries and rotation risks.

With two matches in Gameweek 36 and a rest already out of the way last weekend, it’s little surprise to see Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) topping the list of projected scores for the week.

As for the premium battle elsewhere, it’s Kevin De Bruyne (£11.9m) – another to have warmed the bench in Gameweek 35 – who leads the way, with the Tottenham Hotspur duo of Son Heung-min (£11.0m) and Harry Kane (£12.4m) further down the list.

Subscribers can see the players heading the points projections tables for both this upcoming Gameweek and the following two in the images below but you can get the full picture by clicking here.

You can even get a breakdown of the points, from attacking returns to clean sheets, by clicking here.

Our Rate My Team tool, meanwhile, can give you an approximation of how many FPL points your own team will score over a series of Gameweeks. We’ve more details on this below.

GAMEWEEK 36: FPL POINTS PROJECTIONS

GAMEWEEKS 36-38: FPL POINTS PROJECTIONS

WHAT IS RATE MY TEAM?

Rate my Team (RMT) is a tool designed to give you an approximation of 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, 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.

WHAT DO XM AND ADJP MEAN?

Placing the cursor over a player’s predicted FPL points in a Gameweek will show an xM score and an 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 is the expected points – how many points the algorithm predicts a player will score in the week if they were to play 90 minutes.

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 that a player (usually a goalkeeper) will either play the full game or won’t feature 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 scenarios is that they’ll either be given 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 FOR 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 list of all players in RMT or projections, just click on the Gameweek header to sort the players by that Gameweek’s predicted score.

HOW DO I CHANGE THE GAMEWEEKS I VIEW RMT OVER?

At the top of the Rate My Team page, whilst you have your team loaded, you can select “First Gameweek” and “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.

      Depends on others' remaining chips, but catching 80 points is still achievable

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Yeah I feel 2nd is achievable even - I have BB and FH and everybody else has 0 or 1 chip. 1st is probably out of reach but the rest doable.

    2. Happyhiccup

    Chasing so willing to take some risks but which of the below are safest for DGW36 mins (will FH37)
    A) Jesus
    B) Nacho
    C) Vardy
    D) Maddi

    1. E25
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Don't look for safe if you're chasing. Look for upside. Jesus for me.

  5. 1justlookin

      If robbo is playing once, can you find a defender who plays twice and is likely to outscore him? I see robbo as a 1 pointer this week as I can see spurs scoring 2 against pool and him rested against villa.

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I don't think so mate albeit you may be right. He's double digits this week 😛

    2. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Mount to Kulu

      1. E25
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Can see that backfiring :/
        Appreciate the input though

  7. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…

    Anyone with son and salah going with son as captain?

    1. E25
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Fine if you're chasing.

    2. Eh, just one more thing ...
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      No, going to stick with Salah C and Son VC

  8. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Not made any moves yet, no idea what to do…. any ideas please

    Sa
    Cancelo Rudiger Anderson
    Salah Son Saka Coutinho Ramsey
    Kane Toney

    Dubravka Dalot Broja Amartey

    1ft 0itb

    Kane downgrade and upgrade Ramsey and Dalot?

    1. Max City
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'd roll, because I am not confident in KdB

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cheers

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Could just do Ramsey to Gordon. Although Anderson no double, could keep a CS vs. Watford and has double next.

      I don't love Coutinho, but if you have him could just hold.

      1. THFC4LIFE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Cheers Hazz

  9. Max City
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Is Broja >> Nketiah worth a hit?

    Alternatively just play Broja or Weghorst

  10. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    I don't know how it came to this but right now I have Mendy, James and Mount in FH draft. I just think that Tuchel will demand a reaction after recent dip in form.

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      And surely they can keep at least one clean sheet versus Wolves and Leeds, right?!

      1. Max City
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        True

    2. E25
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Surely alsonso over James for chance of 2 starts.

      1. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Maybe maybe, I'm still overthinking. Both could get crazy scores to be honest.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Leeds will score

  11. Eh, just one more thing ...
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A: DCL to Richarlson for a -4
    B: no, just start Cash
    C: no, just start DCL

    Thank you.

  12. Thomas Shelby from Birmingh…
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How many average players for y'all this GW?
    29 for me with a BB

    1. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Only 22.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      29. May increase if Mateta leaked not to start. Reality is not all of those will play both.

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      32

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Well if we're including captain multipliers...

      2. bitm2007
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        15 dgw'er + 2 captain scores on BB.

    4. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      24

  13. Happyhiccup
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who scores more this week?

    A) Maddison
    B) kulv

  14. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Best option this week. FH in 37

    A. Maddison
    B. Foden -4
    C. Coutinho

  15. tryf88

    Start White with the hope of playing or Weggy vs Mateta?

  16. Love this game

    FH TEAM: Good to go?
    Schmeichel
    Matip, TAA, Cancelo
    Salah, KDB, Saka, Gordon, Son
    Jesus, Richardlison

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yes, would prefer Alonso over Matip but I assume that is out of reach.

  17. The Parrot
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    H2H who wins?

    1)Schmiechel + Alonso + Robbo + Foden + Saka + Mount

    V

    2) Foster + White + Bilva + Coutinho + Pukki + Watkins

    I'm on 1) and worried about starts

    Laporte Cancelo TAA James
    Mount Son Kulusevski Salah Saka
    Pukki
    Bench : Foster, Emerson Royal, Mateta, Gelhartd

    I am planning on TC Salah this weekend or if i`m brave enough TC Son. GW37 will be a FH - I have 2 free transfers this GW. Is there anything I can do to improve this team?

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Maybe pukki to nketiah also Greenwood plays more than Gelhart these days

      1. nagaliga
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        who do i TC? I`m also thinking about bringing in KDB

  19. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A or B on FH?

    A. Luis Diaz + VVD + Cancelo
    B. Richarlison + TAA + Dias

    1. Vjm6891
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'd go A

  20. DoubleAKash
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    So. Many. Options.

    A) Robbo + Havertz > Dias + Diaz (-4)
    B) Robbo + Havertz > Matip + Mahrez (-4)
    C) Robbo + Hwang > Matip + Richarlison (-4)
    D) Havertz + Hwang > Gray + Richarlison (-4)
    D) Havertz > Foden (FT)
    E) Havertz > Kulu (FT)

    BB, 1FT, 0.2 ITB (FH next week)
    Mendy, Schmeichel
    Robbo*, TAA, Laporte, Cancelo, Cash
    Salah, Son, Saka, Havertz*, Gordon,
    Nketiah, Hwang*, Greenwood

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      All risky, B is a decent punt if chasing

  21. OneArseneWenger32
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    2FT .1itb FH available;
    Pope
    Trent robbo cancelo Emerson
    Son saka salah
    Weghorst Kane mateta

    Steele mendy amartey brunoG

    Any ideas?

  22. Vjm6891
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Schmeichel Ramsdale
    Young Taylor cancelo rudiger Emerson
    Mount Havertz Saka Salah kulu
    Kane mateta nietka

    I want to swap Havertz and Salah to Diaz and KDB

    Stupidly put young in thinking digne was still out.....so want him and maybe Taylor out.

    Willing to take a few risks to gain on leader.

    Would you try and take Kane out instead of Salah?

    1. Vjm6891
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      On BB this week

    2. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Depends on who leader has so u can hedge properly

  23. Gordon Cole
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Veltman to Mina or Holgate (-4)?

    1. Vjm6891
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Only if you think they're gonna get a clean sheet in one of the games

    2. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yea could work since it’s back to back doubles

      1. Gordon Cole
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        I think it is. Is Mina worth the extra over Holgate though?

  24. BantasyFootball
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    What's the better play here?
    A) Son + start Gordon + 3.9
    B) No Son, bench Gordon, bring in Luis Duiz and upgrade 3.9 to Laporte.

    Context: defending ML lead against rival who has Son.

    Cheers!

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Then u keep son..he won’t sell him

  25. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Thiago Silva or Matip

  26. Zladan
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Kulu to Saka (-4)?

    Schmeichel
    TAA Cancelo Matip James
    Salah (c) Son Coutinho Mount ____
    Nketiah

    1. OneArseneWenger32
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Gordon?

      1. Zladan
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        My question is Kulu or Saka (-4) for that position.

        I have £7.8m to spend there if selling Kulu.

  27. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which option. FH in 37

    A. Kane and Coutinho
    B. Kane and Maddison
    C. Kane and Foden (-4)
    D. KdB and Richarlison (-4)

    Thanks.

    1. Team Fosu-Mensah

    "Butland, Eze, Olise, Edouard and Wilf all start. A lot of changes today."

    Eek. Doesn't sound ideal for Mateta.

  29. GC123
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Robbo & Mahrez or KDB & Holgate?

  30. BeatingChastards
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Ronaldo Dilemma

    I’m gonna FH in 37 so only looking at 36&38.

    Pope
    TAA Cancelo Alonso Holgate
    Salah (C) Foden Kulusevski Tielemans
    Dennis Ronaldo

    Dbvka Weghorst Guimaraes Livra

    0.2 ITB & 1 FT

    A) Ronaldo to Kane
    B) Ronaldo to “insert name here”
    C) Ronaldo to “insert name here” and upgrade Tielemans to “insert name here” for a -4
    D) Keep Ronaldo as an expensive differential with bha and cpl to play. Maybe use the FT for Pope to Schmeichel.

    Thanks in advance!
