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.

    hi guys, this is my team at the moment, any advise would be a great help as i never seem to do too good in my mini league

    alhabsi (ruddy)
    warnock jagielka smalling (orr delaet)
    malouda silva nani young (dyer)
    drogba ba campbell

    .5 in bank, was thinking i could upgrade jagielka to kompany, or save it to upgrade silva to VDV if form suits it. not happy with keeper combo, also weak in defense, but got a feeling not going to be a season for defenders with all the good attacking teams about this year!

            Dortmund would be absolutely mental to sell him, plus his price rises by about 5 million a game. Only City could afford to buy him by the end of this season.

        Reasons I don’t like NI soccer team..

        1 The commentators were whining about players "defecting" to the republic (when they consider themselves Irish and not NI)
        2 They made their best player their best midfielder at the time retire form international Lennon football by sending him bullets in the post
        3 Billy Bingham when NI played Ireland in 1994 tried to incite the crowd when they scored and thought they were going to prevent Ireland from qualifying to the 94 world cup. They were revelling in it until Mcloughin scored...

    Let's have a think about this if you would.

    Kenny (Given)
    Alcaraz Lescott Nelsen (Bramble, Simpson)
    NZog Van Der Vaart Taarabt Moses Nani
    Drogba RVP (Lita)

    Zero in the bank, wish I could afford to upgrade Lita. One thought is Suarez+5.0mid>VDV+Lita. So much fitness news up in the air still! Want a big gun from each of Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal, Man U and think VDV could be a nice differential from other teams I have seen.

      Get rid of Ferguson, he doesnt play its not worth it.

      Surman is 4.5
      Moses is 5.0

      Moses is the better bet if you can get the cash.

      (the rest is just my opinion)

      Downgrade A cole, hes way too expensive to be worth it. Get a 6.0m Defender.

      If you use 1m to upgrade ferguson, you are left with 0.5m to turn De Laet into Bramble.

          Huth and Jagielka are both good pics, As you already have Given I would sway away from Dunne though. Unless of course you have extreme faith in the Villa defence.

          My other suggestions would be;

          Agger 6.0
          Shawcross 5.0
          Samba 5.5 (thinks hes injured atm though)
          Gibbs 5.5 (yeah I am a Gooner)

    Also, best keeper to have to rotate with Given. Have 5.0, have FOster at the moment, but is he really the best prospect? Good rotation but WBA won't keep as many clean sheets as Fulham or Stoke. Or is it best to just get a 4.5 and keep 0.5 in the bank.

        Given would be better bet I guess - better opening fixtures too for AV - I'll swap.

        2 Wigan really is a gamble but I really fancy their opening fixtures.
        Gamble as they are playing the three promoted sides who will be going for it and as you say, B'pool did a job on them last year.

        Moses or Roda??

    So now that Drogba will probably start....does one still need Malouda?

      No, but one may prefer Malouda over Drogba, considering Torres's injury isn't all that serious

      If Torres is out I'm dropping Malouda and getting Drogba instead and going bit up top

      Your midfield leaves a lot to be desired. Your three main defenders are all playing away. Your two main strikers are playing away.

      I am disappointed in you.

            you forget that chelsea havnt conceed a goal yet under AVB, not only that but there is a good chance that Chelsea's first game will be home to west brom...i assume that is what will happen when the game is called off..

    BALANCED TEAM OR WHAT? 2.5 Mil in the bank,

    Al Habs (Ruddy)

    Baines Kompany R Johnson (Hughes Simpson)

    Nani Nzogbia Moses Silva (Sessagnon)

    Zamora Drogba Holt

    If you question r johnson, he'll let the goals in maybe, but he's captained and also his attacking potential is gonna be immense. Lots of cash to play around with in later weeks no? Only one I'm debating is sess for taarabt then bench holt, whatcha reckon?
