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.

              He will get his fair share of games. Whether he is a quality player is another matter. I always compare Wilshire with Cleverly and IMO Wilshire is miles ahead of him. Currently the only thing quality about him is his girlfriends.

      Out of those Ozil, if possible always go with the attacking player. I'm going Hummels as I don't have Ozil.

    some spurious reasoning for your perusal:

    These new kids will be eager to prove themselves and so will want to score and score. Schweinsteiger will therefore be likely involved in several goals and it's therefore worth twisting from CR7 to him.

    Make any sense?

    Would you change your captaincy from Ronaldo to Hummels are not, with Iniesta and Gerrard waiting for the next couple of days?

      Contemplating the same. CS + goal sounds about right!

        Reply fail to Roscola above! But it seems strangely applicable here also.

    Schweinsteiger got a couple of assists against Denmark, reckon he could be a better option than Hummels today for (C)?

    I didn't have CR7 btw, and sticking on Dorado or whatever he is called is not an option 😉
