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.

      Torres looked much sharper, but not deserving of MOTM imo, he did miss a few good chances. Bosingwa + Alex great in defence, maybe one of them should have got MOTM instead, since it was 0-0. Lampard didnt do much but was relatively lively, not playing as deep as some might have expected, almost got himself a penalty as well. Nani missed two sitters, it was Young who got 2 assists.

    Average start. RVP(C) annoyed a bit though. Not sure about transfers:

    I'm thinking of banking the transfer and giving RVP, Nani and Taarabt another chance. But if Arsenal is disaster against Udinese, I propably change RVP to Rooney or Torres (Cashley only Chelsea cover at the moment).

    Nani->Young or Taarabt->Larsson/Sess other options.

    First week ever of Fantasy Football and done superbly, i feel

    Score of 48 with Lescott still to play.

    Given (Al Habsi)

    Lescott Riise A Hughes Alex (gabbidon)

    Moses Nani N'Zogbia Sessegnon (Taarabt)

    Carroll Rooney (Holt)

    I've have however swapped Carroll for Suarez, long term i think he is the player to have.

    I was intending on swapping Rooney for RVP, but i am dubious about that now.

    I want VDV in there, in the long term.

              I really rate Higuain. Think he should seek a move if he isn't first choice anymore. Could be a great for so many clubs, but I guess it's hard finding one that appeals when you're a RM fan favourite who I suppose are really well paid.

    Seeing as Young ripped up WBA's right back, is it worth Cashley captain next week?

    What do you think of Everton this season, to me they look weaker then last season. I am asking because i can't decide is it smart to buy Baines or not? What do you think?
    Or is it smarter to have stronger 3rd attacker?

      Baines is a good shout.
      If it wasnt for the cancellation he'd of made many a team

        Will he really deliver though? I'm tempted but I'm between two.

      I had Titus in, surprised he didn't start, but Wes was MOTM yday, so i'll go for Brown soon (more urgent transfers needed this week)

        Gutted by the Titus thing, leaves me with a non starter from the off. Sounds like Brown is pretty nailed on then, glad to hear it.

    Is it just me or anyone else thinking 'improvements' to fpl this year have made it shitter?! Such as bonus points awarded on mon and little things like when you click on a rival it doesn't bring their team straight up. Not loving it at all.

      Agree 100%. The new site is absolute muck. Not nearly as user friendly as the old site. Very annonying waiting so long for everything to be updated etc. It has actually taken a lot of the good out of the game for me...

      Yeah. The graphic design is very pretty, but the the user interface and user experience are much worse. I don't think they really user-tested it. The experience is just a bit clunkier and slower. Too bad. It's soured me a bit on the whole game, weirdly.

      Oh well, maybe I'll actually cheer for my favorite teams more this season, instead of the players on my fantasy team.

    Knee jerk transfer options:

    Holt > Long
    Carroll > Suarez
    or planned:
    CAshley > Baines?
