As promised, our Sky Sports Stats tables are now live and available in our Members Area. These new tables can be found under Player Stats, with the additional button giving access to tables that list the key stats that govern the Sky Sports Fantasy Football bonus points.

For those who haven’t noticed the rule change in the Sky Sports game, players now earn 2 points for achieving 60+ successful passes in a match, with a further 2 points awarded for players winning four or more tackles. The game will use Opta data to award these bonus points.

In our stats tables you can view Successful Passes and Tackles Won for last seasonโ€™s players and weโ€™ve added tables that record the number of bonus points players would have been awarded based on this data. Weโ€™ve broken these down into passes and tackles, added an overall bonus total column and included a minutes per bonus stat so you can assess players according to time played.

As with all our stats, you can filter these by a series of intervals, including last four matches, last four Gameweeks and Home and Away matches.

Of course, weโ€™ll be running these tables next season so youโ€™ll be able to apply these filters to the stats as things progress to spot those players taking advantage of the new bonus rules.

Right now, this data is not available in the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game or anywhere else โ€“ only our members have access to these stats.

Weโ€™ll be following this up with a full in-depth article for members, analysing the trends that these tables reveal and identifying the likely targets, in terms of bonus points, for the coming season.

If youโ€™re yet to register for the Sky Sports game, you can do so here. Please note, the game is only available to those in the UK and Ireland.

The overall winner of the Sky Sports Fantasy game gets ยฃ25,000. Our league is entitled FFScout and our PIN code is 8004519: we have a home cinema system worth ยฃ600 up for grabs for the winner.

If you want access to these new stats and want details on becoming a member, click here for instructions on signing up and more details on whatโ€™s on offer.

    Seriously considering Aguero > Rooney GW2 instead

    + 1.5m to spend elsewhere
    + Midfield strengthened Maloney > Pienaar
    + Torres has better fixture than Aguero GW2

    - No City cover GW3 (but come GW4 I would look to move on Aguero anyhow due to CL rotation)
    - Torres price drop (could be up to 0.3)
    - Would bench Mata GW3 (mid of Nzog Pienaar Bale Noble is adequate enough though)

    Torres > Cisse GW3 instead

          Because of Champions League? You could make the same argument for Rooney not starting GW4 then. He does get rested on occasion and WIG is a fixture that allows it.

            Yep and straight after Internationals.

            Rooney plays 95% of games and will not be rested so early on in the season. If RVP signs he will be rested GW4 or CL, Rooney will play both imo.

              Didn't Aguero start 95% of games as well though? Aside from his debut against Swansea, the only game I can think of is the Bolton one where Mancini rested half the team.

        Rooney is the best United cover even if RVP signs imo, RVP will be rested a lot more. Im also dreading Rooney screwing me over again after beginning of last season.

        While your there Im contemplating Hangeland > Hughes, worth the rotation risk? (I know your an advocate of this)

          Rooney was looking superb this time last year. Not this time. Valencia allows the dust to settle.

          Hughes is nailed on. I've not seen anything to suggest otherwise - squeeze every .5 you can!

              I'm in love with that mid. If Tevez wasn't about, I'd certainly consider this policy and just go with Aguero.

              I'd actually sacrifice someone like Siggy for Guthrie and perhaps plough that cash into defence.

        But Hughes only played half the games under Jol last season.

        McClean strikes me as a streaky player. Larsson is more consistent and has the set pieces & penalties.

        Considering it was a preseason game, it was pretty good imo.
        Valencia played RB again because Rafael, Jones, Smalling were missing.
        Vidic/Rio looked ok, as did Evra.
        Anderson did a pretty good first half in the middle, Scholes was.. well, as usual..
        Nani, a few attempts, not bad.. not good.
        Young, looked bad.. average at best
        Rooney was unfit
        Kagawa was sub on in half time, played pretty well.. looks like he need a few more games to blend in tho imo

    I'd like to think that United were only allowed two penalties because they were so bad at them, the authorities thought they were taking the piss.

    Can't really justify having Rooney after tonight and previous performances over the last few months.. probably wait until he gains some form.

      I had him first match last season and he was muck, his only shot bobbled in and I sold him straight after. I hugely regretted that.

      I usually advocate finding the cheapest nailed on link to a defence.

      But not with Baines. Not with Everton.

        You mean "dont touch Everton, even Baines"....or "dont touch anyone in Everton other than Baines"

        Thing is, not a massive fan of Kosci just yet or any Stoke so im looking at other 5.5 players

          I mean, if you want to get Baines then get Baines as he is FPL dynamite, but just ruddy expensive.

      No. It could work the other way. 2 decent games and should have a bit more confidence this season. Fa cup. Champs league. Euros. And golden boot in the locker should have helped get that monkey off his back. Confidence is a big motivator.
