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.

    Is Downing nailed on?
    having N'Zog, Silva, Downing, and Drogba at the moment scares me... Could be all risks.

      N'Zog is not a risk so far as I know? I think Downing will start this weekend, but nobody is nailed on in Liverpool's midfield.

    think I'm close to being settled with this:

    Al habsi (Given)

    Kompany Cole Hughes (Gabbi Simpson)

    Nani Silva Malouda Taarabt Moses

    Carol Zamora (Holt)

    Al Habsi will be changed to Ruddy at some point in first 3 weeks saving 0.5 and Cole could down graded to Alex/Luiz if lineups are announced early shaving off up to another 1.5 to help fine tune the team in the early few weeks.

    I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but I notice people are still posting RMT's with Hangeland in their squad. I'm from Norway watching the preview to their friendly against Czech Republic and Hangeland is not even in the squad.

    The Norwegian coach has also mentioned he could be out for a while with an injury. Not sure but i thought i heard possibly up to 6 weeks. Just thought i would mention it!

    bit of a different RTM

    Given (Ruddy)
    Kompany - Hughes - Ivanovic (Gabbidon,Simpson)
    Lampard - Silva - Malouda - Taarabt (Dyer)
    Holt - Bent - Rodallega

    back 7 is like alot on here, only prob is i cant find the 0.5 to fit Cole in

    dont like the look of uniteds fixtures so im thinking of starting with Lamps & Malouda then GW4 swapping Lamps and Rodallega to RVP & a 6.5mid, would of liked Rooney in there but gw 2 & 3 id far rather give the armband to Lamps and then Rvp's fixtures look better after that, on the other hand if Tevez looks like starting i might bring him in gw1

    so what do we think people? cheers

      92 - Wayne Rooney has scored (61) or assisted (31) 92 goals in the PL since 2007/08; more than any other player. Marquee.

      He's only ubiquitous because RVP is injured and people are doing the simple swap to keep the team structure in place ready for Robin GW4. You might be right. I still think Rooney is the main attacking threat at Utd so should score well.

    Silva scored 144 points last season and he has three things going for him:

    1. He's only going to get better.
    2. He's playing in a team where the manager has vowed to become more attacking.
    3. He only played 2500 minutes last season, barring injury he'll get more this season.
