We’re pleased to announce that the Memberships for the 2012/13 season are now up and running. Full membership is available for £12.50 as a pre-season offer until proceedings kick-off in August.

Registered users can click here to upgrade. New users yet to register will need to go here.

You can find the full details of the Members Benefits on this updated page.

Having spent last summer working on the redesign of the full site, one of my targets for this year has been to improve the members offering. That meant purchasing more data from our friends at Opta and building the kind of statistical analysis site that Fantasy managers deserve. We now have access to data for every event taking place on a Premier League pitch – and we’re going to use it.

While I’d have liked to go more ready for this week, we’re launching with statistics tables that have been fully rebuilt, a refined ICT Index, new stats filters (including home/away), a new Match Dashboard and our first, of many, visual charts.

There is going to be much, much more to come. We’ve put in the hard work now by getting the data from Opta and turning it into what you can see today. From here on in we can have fun producing more tools and visuals, more of what you want to help you analyse and examine the players and teams in a new level of detail.

A big thanks to Paul for keeping us going with cracking articles while I’ve been working on this. Also, big thanks to Sean, Will and our brilliant tech director Ed for the efforts they put in. As I say, now the fun begins adding more toys.

Finally, thanks, of course, go to all those who choose to sign up and support the site and what we’re building. I hope the new members content can help it be another season of mini-league triumph.

For those who want to see what’s on offer, here’s a movie outlining the improvements we’ve made to the stats area. For more details on the full offering, visit this page.

    Anybody going to do switch captaincy from Gomez to a German defender if he doesn't start. I stupidly already changed it away from Ronaldo last night

        It would seem a good move... any of them could easily get 7pts. They could all get 3 though...

          It's a risk I'm probably willing to take at this stage of the Matchday

          Well then Muller has to be your captain, surely? Gomez is my only MID/FOR involved tonight you see, other than that I probably wouldne be considering a defender.

      Hummels (c) for me. 6 points is not enough and he's my only non-Gomez German outfield player. It's high risk but if it works it's huge reward, if it doesn't I should have 2 more chances.

    I know I may sound like a broken record and I apologise if it causes any annoyance, but how do many of you know '100%' that Gomez won't be starting?

      This is really important to me. I may well cry if he doesn't start. He's my differential on my rivals.
