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

    I've been completely talked out of my team (poor form I know), any takers on my new set up:

    Schwarzer/Moreira
    Agger/Kompany/Alcaraz/(Shawcross/Bramble)
    N'Zogbia/Lampard/Moses/Nani/Petrov
    Carroll/Zamora/Gyan

        Lampard will take corners and freekicks - so likely to get those assists.

          Lampard doesnt take free kicks, rarely and poorly.

          He also shares corners with Malouda

          He should, in theory, be a decent upgrade on De Vries who did a fine job for us.

          I think he'll come in at 4.0.

          Interestingly Kerr's mother is Northern Irish so would be great on two fronts if they beat the Nordies.

          Well in some levels I'm annoyed as I can no longer slag off 5under1and about Manc reject raggydolls.

          However the last young winger we took off them was the legend Keith Gillespie so you never know, he might turn out grand with regular appearances and increased confidence.

          He has a very weird head though. Mind you so did Peter Beardsley and he was one of the finest footballers I have ever seen.

            Rumour has it that Kenny Dalglish was giving a teamtalk to his players and told them that he was bringing some new faces in. Apparently Peter Beardsley asked could he have a new one 😉

            Strange signing as at least Gillespie always looked useful Obertan has been fairly useless anytime I have seen him play.. Maybe he just didnt get enough game time to show his full potential and I am probably being a bit unfair

              He's pretty quick so that's always useful. Plus he is only 22 so time to develop.

              Oh and most importantly - he isn't Wayne Routledge.

              If Gervinho was a midfielder I think I might risk him, but not as a striker, especially not given their reasonably tough fixtures.
              Wouldn't be keen on Ekotto or Elokobi (but don't tell Elokobi that, he's a fecking beast).

              Other than that I like the punt on Dzeko, looks alright.

    The new members area looks good and I can't wait to start using the new index stats once the start to get populated with the new games.

    Please work on the season ticker some more though. One of the big appeals of full membership is enjoying a full season view of the fixtures, but it's now harder to see it all on one screen and the team names become unreadable. This is a backwards step!

    Not seen much talk of Kranjcar...good pre season and with Pienaar out he's surely in the frame for a few starts. Not going to gamble on him, but maybe one to watch xD

    Ok...this is it.
    Given (Ruddy)
    Alcaraz RJohnson Gabbidon (de laet, simspon)
    Lampard Moses Taraabt O'Hara (Sinclair)
    Bent Rooney RvP

    Verdict? Lampard is actually Silva now but will be Frank come Saturday night!

      Like my team was yesterday, you know the arguments for and against regarding the defence so I won't spout them here.
      Worth a punt but it could go horrifically wrong with so many players from bum teams (Rooney, Lampard etc) 😛

            If I jnew he would start I'd probably take a punt on him but, assuming Torres is injured for the w/e, Drogs it has to be.

    Who's singing the praises of Aaron Ramsey then? I have Gervinho and had some stick for it...but if RVP is injured he'll at least get some game time.

    If the injuries continue, Ramsey is guaranteed though, right? It's either him or I pick Taraabt and I like Taraabt to be fired up for the Premiership as many others I'm sure agree.

    Thoughts on either player welcome!

      I've got Gervinho too, I think he'll do great. Who's giving you stick for having him?

      I'd take Taraabt over Ramsey, he's the main man at QPR.

        My midfield is Silva N'Zogbia Nani Moses Taarabt and my front two will be Carroll and Gervinho with Danny Graham on the bench. If anything I expected stick for Graham!

    First and only RMT/choice, and it's simply plan (1) or (2). Help appreciated as I'm tearing my hair out:

    1)Malouda & Zamora. No points hit in GW2 - no plans of yet.

    2)Taraabt & Carroll. 4pt hit in GW2 to replace Silva with Malouda and Carroll with Bent.

    Hope these are easy to follow.
