What’s on offer…

• Analyse player and team performance with extensive statistical data supplied by statistical gurus OPTA. This data is presented in fully sortable tables, custom built to provide the vital stats for Fantasy Football Managers. Get an archive of the 09/10 and 10/11 data plus all the current up to date data straight after matchdays throughout the season. Break this data down by Gameweek or a range of Gameweeks to get the ultimate view of player and team performance and form.




• Access the ICT Scout Index – a statistical player index created to specifically assess a player’s Fantasy Football potential. The individual index scores help to measure a player’s importance to their team and to a match (Influence), a player’s likelihood to earn assists (Creativity) and to score goals, or at least get in goalscoring situations (Threat). These scores are then combined to return an overall ICT Index score giving a fast track method of analysing player performance data. You can read more on the ICT Index here.




• Analyse trends in the fixture list using our full Season Ticker analysis tool with full scrolling and “previous meeting” statistics. Members also get the interactive ticker on their Homepage which now includes the facility to edit the existing team ratings that govern the colour coding and create your own custom ratings which are saved in your browsers.




• Exclusive Members Only articles posted on a weekly basis analyse the OPTA data to help you identify players and teams entering periods of form and those going off the boil.




• Get the Scout team’s views on player rankings using our Player Projection tables which show our “projected” Fantasy returns for over 250 players.




• All this plus exclusive competitions (and potential betting offers) and exclusive access to new website features via our Beta tests.

In-depth Player and Team Statistics supplied by OPTA

Get access to the most comprehensive statistics available to Fantasy Football Managers to aid your analysis of players and teams. Our sortable data has been built specifically with Fantasy Football Managers in mind, breaking down players by position and handing you statistics to measure Fantasy returns, Distribution and Influence, Goal Threat, Defending and Set Piece Involvement. You’ll can also assess player discipline and analyse each Premier League club using the same stats which include specific team data.

Breakout from the tables and you can analyse each player playing in the Premier League in detail via a profile page that rounds up all the key performance statistics.

View the statistics for the season overall or filter them by Gameweek. Members can select to view the stats broken down by each Gameweek or view a range of Gameweeks to help analyse current form or dips and peaks in form.

View the data by average per game values to level the playing field for those players who have made fewer appearances.

The data used behind these tables is supplied by the renowned OPTA team who painstakingly measure every kick, tackle and pass made in the Premier League. OPTA supply their data to Premier League managers and now this data is available to you to aid your Fantasy Football selections.

For those playing the Metro Fantasy Football game, these tables are the key to success. That game is based on OPTA stats such as “Clearances”, “Interceptions” and “Completed Passes in the Final third”. Our tables are the only place you will find full breakdowns of the stats that contribute to the attacking and defensive scores that your players are bringing in.

Our tables will be updated and available to members just minutes after the final game of each Gameweek and in the pre-season you’ll be able to access a full archive of last season’s data to help in your initial squad selection.

Here’s just a sample of just some of the statistics which will we have at our disposal to deliver to you in articles and custom tables which will be fully sortable…

The Full & Interactive Season Tickers

Our Fixture analysis tool will identify trends of easy and difficult fixtures for each team over the course of the season.

Teams are ranked for difficulty on the Scout’s own rating system which is continually updated according to home and away form as the season progresses. Through a clear and tried and tested colour coding, the ticker allows members to immediately spot periods of easy or difficult opponents, allowing you to plan your transfer strategy throughout the season.

Members can now not only view this rating system, they can create their own by tweaking the values for each and every team, effectively allowing Members to create their own Tickers which are saved in the browser for each and every visit.

A “next six ticker” is available to all on the frontpage but Members also get a bonus here. They get access to the interactive version which includes scrolling controls and rollover analysis of previous meetings between teams over the past three seasons. It also allows you to zoom out and get a full view of the season as whole, allowing assessment of fixture difficulty over the entire 38-week season.

Player Projection Tables

We go a step further from the Weekly Scout Picks and Watchlist Rankings to provide members with sortable tables that identify our predictions for the top Fantasy Football performers.

Listing the top 250 players across all positions, these tables “project” the Scout team’s prediction for Starts, Goals, Assists and Clean Sheets.

These rankings are built using the Scouts own statistical archive of Fantasy Football data which analyses player performance within their respective team and offers a projection of their returns for the season ahead. Throw in the opinion and statistical tweaks of the Scout team and you have the most comprehensive “cheat sheet” around.

Exclusive Articles

Plundering the goldmine of OPTA’s statistical data and utilising our Premier League fixture license, Members get the kind of in-depth articles that can truly give you the edge over the course of your season, delivered on a weekly basis.

Exclusive Fantasy Football Scout Competitions

Members will get entry to exclusive Fantasy Premier League Cup competition which comes with its very own prize fund.
