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.

    Hiya lads,

    I know these RMT’s are doing everyones head in, but I promise this will be the last one from me...........would be a MASSIVE help if you could let me know what you reckon of this team after tampering with it for aaaaaages…..

    Given (Ruddy)

    Kompany – Carragher – Orr (Hughes, Simpson)

    Kuyt – Nani – N’Zogbia – Moses (Dyer)

    Drogba – Rooney – Rodallega

    Thinking of changing Drogba nearer the weekend (if games take place that is)…please let me know your thoughts, cheers in advance lads.

      Myeh, defence could do with a shape-up. Carragher looks suspect. Downgrade Rodallega to Holt or Campbell, use the cash to invest a little more wisely. Downing also offers better value from a Liverpool perspective than Kuyt.

          You have Moses for that. Doubling up seems a waste of value when the rest of your team is lacking. I'm no world-beater though, so maybe take the advice of a pro if they're willing to offer it? Just the way I see it.

            can't agree with the comment above though with liverpool being leaky in mid and def, this season they are title contenders, i really do beleive that, and i reckon they're gonna get off to a great start, goals from carroll adam and kuyt especially.

      Strong team going forward.
      Who is your sub up front?
      Wouldn't have Rio in, poor fixtures at the start and a lot of money tied up, traditionally doesn't offer much in FF. Option would be to downgrade Rio and get A.Cole in for Luiz - DL could be good value but erratic and not guaranteed starter.
      I tend to go with 3-4-3 but it is a matter of preference.

          Dude if you're gonna spend money on a City or Liverpool defender there is no point rotating them.

        no, but why pick ashley cole over JT?
        Terry's point per game is better and he carries a greater goal threat....

          I think it's more like for Cole to get a Goal +/ Assist than for Terry to get a goal? Well that was my thinking.

            i can see more assists fair enough, but more bonus points for terry maybe? but i see your point it is close, tahts why tehyre the same price, suppose it depends on if baines will get a pen or free-kick

              Yeah, to be fair I think that all 3 of them will have reasonably close scores come the end of the season.

      Baines will be just about leading defender on points come round 5, just looking at their GW2-5

    2022: News reaching me, by the way, of a possible injury to Chelsea striker Fernando Torres - the frontman limping out of Spain's friendly against Italy with what looks like an ankle injury.
