Members who signed up before 6pm this evening can now get access to the beta test via this link. Use your existing login details to get access.

As before, there is a welcome article to greet you detailing what is new in this phase. For those who did not take part in the first test, there’s also a link to the original beta test welcome article with full details on the new features available.

Once again this test will run for a limited period. Please leave your feedback on the beta test site comment thread, not on this article.

Just to stress – this is a test of a new site that will be available to all – not just for members.

Many thanks to those who take part in this latest test.

              Agree, he won't be allowed to wander in the same way and so i don't see how he can possibly come anywhere near his previous success. I reckon halve last year's goals and assists for the prem transition and then halve them again for the role limitation.

        Rafael is a rotation risk no matter what anyone says. There is NO cheap route to the man u defence - not for guaranteed starters. Luiz also a rotation risk. Think Taarabt will flop, Sinclair also a gamble. Like the frontline that is about it.

      Not a huge fan of Cashley - would go with Luiz and improve Simpson/Orr to O'Shea or Wes Brown.

      Midfield is weak - pick two of the cheapies and bin Lamps to create more balance.

      That said, I do like Moses. Think he is an ideal 5th mid at 5M as he will score and assist in the new NZogs role. He gets forward and had some great games last year.

      Not sure Dempsey is value this year at a whopping 8.5M. With Fulham's attack healthy he won't get the goals as much as last year, but a good shout for assists. Not on pens or FK right now either.

      Conventional wisdom says Watson is a terrible pick, but maybe you could pull a rabbit out and have a solid 5th midfielder. I expect him to surprise, but would bet Moses will score more for the same price.

      With Kun and Silva in the mix, not sure Yaya will see as much of the ball as last year.

      I think 2 cheap forwards is the way forward though for sure.

      Hangeland isn't worth the 6.5m. Baines --> Cashley would give you Chelsea coverage. Samba isn't worth the money either unless he moves to Arsenal. One player (Suarez) is enough L'pool coverage.

      That should give you plenty of money to bring in more captain choices because at the moment you only really have one... that is Suarez.
