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.

      Not a fan of Krul/Jussi combo. Not a good rotation especially early on.

      Not convinced that Mata will start GW1 but we'll have to wait and see if he features in the CS.

      Other than that, it's pretty good.

          All i said was Jones would probably start GW 1 due to Rafael's Olympic duties. He's fallen ill now and left the squad, so that looks more and more unlikely. I'd never advocate getting him in the long term for FPL, especially at 6m.

        Thanks for the feedback.

        El Ghanassy is a punt yes, but IMO I feel he maybe a suprise package and a decent pick for his price.

        The rest (Gorkss/El Ahamadi/Tierney) will be permanent bench fodder.

        Bent is a proven goalscorer in the EPL and now has the backing of an attacking manager. He only played half a season last year but still managed 9 goals and has good opening fixtures.

          I know its bench fodder, but even for bench fodder its bad.. Guess it could work out for a while tho, if u gain some value somewhere else u can upgrade them later. You gonna need a good bench sooner or later.
          Bent, 2 seasons over 15 goals (right?).
          Have u considered Jelavic? Or even Petric/Graham given preseason goals and fixtures? Could help u upgrade a midfielder.. (Im sure u have thought about it at least)

            Jelavic is a great option but I prefer Bent as I have Pienaar & Baines. Petric/Graham could be good shouts, but not for me at the moment.

            I agree about needing a stonger bench, but that will be upgraded when possible.

    Just a thought on United if RVP moves. I still see Rooney as the only option. He has always played almost every game. I think that won't change even if RVP moves. I think it is likely that Rooney will play deeper but that is already the case, with Welbeck and Hernandez. I don't see RVP as a great option. Yes he will score big when he plays but due to injury and due to Welbeck and Hernandez needing games I think he will be rotated a lot against the poorer teams. I hope RVP moves as I believe a lot of people will drop Rooney in favour of him. There will be times when RVP outscores Rooney but, I believe, Rooney will finish the season as the higher points scorer - purely because he will play more games.

            Ok...

            Just been reading an article on False Nine tactics, basically a 4-6-0 formation that plays a deep lying forward. This sounds like why Chelsea are buying the depth of talent that they are, it's what Man City have been leaning towards last season and probably why they haven't gone out and bought loads of new players as this kind of tactic requires a settled team in order for it to work.

            I'm no expert in football at this level so I may be explaining things in a rudimentary way and leaving things out. Anyhow my point is, if Chelsea are going down this route then it will take time for the team to gel and work and despite the DGW, they may really suffer at the beginning of the season while things settle.

    Sorry if this gets asked every hour.

      Both are risks. I would prefer to pick safer options such as Lampard & Valencia. The Shield will tell us more regards Hazard.

      Havent seen Hazard play yet, but gives his preseason gametime he should at least start.. really looks like he need more time to settle in tho.. RDM said yesterday that they will be patient with him...

      Kagawa, not a likely starter imo.. great potential in him, but I think he will need even more time to settle in tbh.. and if/When he plays, WHERE will he play? Deeper, or in the hole?
      If united sign Van Persie, surely they will play 4-4-2..

        Thanks Mr Blue and Pigeon.

        I love the extra security that comes with the 0.5, but I agree, 0.5 is a precious little amount when it comes to FPL.

      At the moment it's Torres to spearhead Hazard, Mata and Oscar with Mikel/Lampard/Ramires providing food, rations & ammunition to the artillery.

      Of course, Moses is a total wildcard who could DESTROY the best laid plans of mice and Chelsea!!
