Full data from all the Gameweek matches has been poured into our Members Area. Following the update, not only can our Members examine every statistical facet of the matches played so far, they can also get the first view of our ICT Scout Index with this season’s data.

Members will find the Top 10 performers for Influence, Creativity and Threat on their dashboards, along with the Top ICT Index performers – already, we’ve got some intriguing data to digest, offering some early clues on where the Fantasy Premier League Bonus is likely to be heading. Full ICT data can be viewed by accessing the Player Stats > Fantasy Index > All Players table.

We will be serving up several regular articles based on the ICT Index but Members can read on below for our first initial foray into the numbers.

As a sidenote, Membership sign-ups are still available with our pre-season early bird offer of £12.50 coming to an end on Monday night. Memberships for the 2011/12 season will then increase to £15.

      Rooney did brilliantly, as did Young who was aggressive and nabbed the second. West Brom's Shane Long nabbed a goal for his debut looked decent as did Brunt but not much else.

      Utd's defense is in a shambles now though - Rafael out for ten weeks at least, Evra and Vidic injured too.

      Rooney was class for the first 10 minutes. Barely noticed him after that. Everything went through A.Young, and he wasted most of it.

      Stoke-Chelsea was rather drab, but the United game was interesting. Very lively until Long's goal knocked the stuffing out of United a tad. De Gea was dodgy but people are blowing it a bit out of proportion. Vidic and Rio off injured (2 weeks and 6 weeks respectively). It was a typical United away goal that won it, but you couldn't really begrudge them despite WBA playing decent. They'll be disappointed not to get a point. United were missing a DM badly.

      Close one for Tipp by the way, makes for an interesting final.

      Not much to see - a round of games I reckon we will all forget pretty quickly unless City or Swansea do something special tomorrow.

      Stoke and WBA were good basically, and United won it at the end. On here STB talked about the refs, me and AP argued about Anderson and people wondered when they will get their assists. Same old.

      Wow what happened to United's defence? A case of Smallpox or summat?
      Thanks for the info fella's, struggling along this gameweek with 28 points (+6 to come in from Simpson) and Silva and Kompany to play. A little underwhelming, but it's not a drastically bad side to start the season with. Certainly got away easier than most regarding the FPL feckup.

          I did pretty much, I had to go back to England for a funeral so had my side picked on thursday, wasn't 100% pleased with it but it was pretty much how I wanted it. So wasn't too irate when I couldn't get on Saturday morning. The only change I would have made would have been to take out Alcaraz but not sure who I would have selected instead.
          All in all not bad.
          Sorry to hear about your hassle, real shame they buggered it up for the first gameweek. Most other GW's wouldn't have been so devastating.

    Got 34 with Kompany and Silva to come (standard).

    Overall, thoroughly underwhelmed with the weekend. FPL as a site has been a disaster, so many bugs, obviously well documented on here. But also discouraged people from joining and paying into my £££ league. Lack of live points is terrible. Delayed bonus is also terrible. And no updates to leagues is mildly annoying.

    On a lighter note, went with Schwarzer, Riise, Hughes and Hangeland in my Sun dream team (all comps count - Europa league). Thats paid off this weekend.

      I think QPR have a point to prove and will nick a draw. No-one's really giving them a hope. You're forgetting Everton are notoriously slow starters.

      1-1 for me, although Everton could nick it. Regarding Baines, I wouldn't mind him in my team but there are better captains out there.

    That's Zamora, Murphy and Johnson.

    Bloody hell. First time I've listened to the 606 phone-in. Are the callers always this idiotic?!

    One Man United fan just called in moaning about how Sir Alex "could've done a lot more for Man United over the years".

    Another called in straight after having a go at the De Gea signing, saying Given should've been signed instead. Although Robbie Savage tried to explain (numerous times) the guy couldn't seem to work out that City would never have sold Given to United because in his mind "money talks". It's moneybags Man bloody City. Jeeeeesus H. Christ Esquire. Facepalms all round.

    Rightio. Time to wildcard and get rid of the deadwood. Drogba, De Laet, Orr, Carroll...I even seem to have Danny Murphy! Now, can I figure out how to make transfers or do I need to go on a course...

      If you doing that you would probably be better to start from scratch for GW2. I wouldn't use the wildcard yet and you will have to take a big points hit otherwise. Plus the scores will not be too big this GW so you won't be too far behind.

      Hmmmm, I would actually really like to jerk the old knee and wildcard. Took a (rather stupid) gamble on a mega cheap defence and one doesn't appear first choice and another is injured so the rotation is completely gone.

        I always use it around GW2. First week is a total lottery as regards form and selections. And often when people use it later in the year they just upset a balanced team and actually get a reduced score.

          Well this is my fourth or fifth year playing FPL and GW6 last season is the longest I've ever been able to hold out before using it. We've got another one coming in January anyway. May just go for it...

          It's difficult for everyone right now, because with the inadequacies of the FPL site, we can't compare scores with the masses to guage how we're doing. So hang tight... things may not be as bad as you imagine.

      As poor as he was, Kalou was poorer, and Anelka didn't do anything when he came on. Sturridge is still banneed and i'm fairly certain that Malouda will start the next game.

    26 with bonii and Dzeko/Lescott and Kompany to come, not awful, I have had worse starts to the season to be honest, thank god for Rooney (C) getting something today.

    Spuds v United could be very interesting next week with Rafael/Ferdinand and potentially Vidic out, am considering Downing OUT VDV IN but feel like Downing played well enough to get a shot v Arsenal. There should be goals in the United game next week at the very least, a 3-2 affair is on the cards I think, United have to go out and score as many as possible to win, but that being said Spuds will be rusty.

      VDV's an interesting shout actually, but United's defensive cover isn't too bad and now they'll have a week to be drilled into shape plus De Gea will finally have some sort of comfort at home (or more nerves, but I think it will do him some good) AND I think Carrick will come in for Cleverley so it might not be such a goal-fest featuring Tottenham.
