Members Area Upgraded

Earlier today we upgraded the Members Area to the new site template, giving everything a facelift as we rolled out the ICT Scout Index – our Fantasy Football Player Index.

We will make a detailed post on the ICT index later this evening, although if you want some early insight into how this works you can refer to this earlier post which explains the basics.

Members can currently view Top 10’s for Influence, Creativity and Threat, plus the Index score, from last season via their new Members dashboard in the Members Area. Full ICT Index scores can then be gathered via the Player Stats > Fantasy Index tables. You can view these tables by position or for all players.

Much more on this to come later.

We are working to roll out the new site template to the main site. We’re currently still optimising the new design and will look to carry out further tests in the next week before announcing a release date.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

              It's what he said in an interview just after he signed. I don't see why he'd go there if he wouldn't be assured of starting either. He quite likes his spot in the national team, and that's under enough threat as it is.

        I was asking about him about 15 minutes ago on here. I reckon should nasri move, he'll see quiet a bit of game time at start, with walcott injured. Have you seen the injury list at arsenal. Hope he's at the 6 mark, as I want him in my squad.

          That's what I'm thinking. If Nasri and Fab leave, and with a injury prone Walcott, he's got a chance of some action.

          I know theres alot of ifs/buts/maybes, but I was just looking at some old games he played at feyenoord, and he looks like a exciting prospect. Yknow, just footballing wise 🙂

            I think he's worth a gamble. I could be wrong, but aren't we all looking for the next hidden gem, that the masses havn'e got. I had VDV from his first week last year, so I'd be quiet happy to take a gamble on Ryo Miyaichi against newcastle

          Yes I do. He is the only realistic left sided option. and one of our best players. Clearly I do not know AVB's thinking at this point but would be very surprised if he isn't a key player. His position kind of makes him an OOP in my view too.

    Hi Guys,

    I would very much appreciate your views on this team.

    Generally going for the 3-5-2 formation with 2 expensive defenders who have a goal threat then rotate the 3rd dirt cheap depending on fixtures.

    The 5 man midfield is built around lamps with both Bale and Yaya supporting (both of their efforts from last season seem to be completely written off on this site which I find a bit strange)

    Up front, Carroll and Bent have great fixtures and are bound to score.

    Let me know your thoughts please:

    Given
    Ruddy

    Baines
    Lescott
    Simpson
    Orr
    De Laet

    Bale
    Lamps
    YaYa
    Taarabt
    Moses

    Bent

      Bale is written off due to fixtures and YaYa because he is crappola and likely to play spells as a defensive midfielder more this year if evidence of the cs is to be believed where he rotated with Milner to take turns pushing forward. 8.0m for a defensive midfielder is....bleep....

    Im thinking of going with 5 defenders all at 4m-4.5 reason is that they are unlikely to drop in price so wont have to worry about losing money at start of season.
    Also start of season bit of lottery defensivwly so they might do as well as much more expensive defenders.

    Question is what are the best options ? Have simpson so far
