The international break has afforded us some extra time to address some requested features in our Members Area and also to add a new index to allow easy assessment of our team statistics. Here’s a run-down of the updates rolled out earlier today…
Seamless Logins
Members should now only need to login once with their registration details on either the main site or the members area. This means that, once logged in, you can seamlessly move between the two sites.
Team Goal Index
To accompany our ICT (Influence, Creativity, Threat) Index to assess player performance, we’ve now added a new Index that allows quick assessment of a team’s likelihood to both score and concede goals.
The Index can be found in Team Stats > Fantasy Index and lists three figures for each team – Scoring, Conceding and then a simple calculation that offers the difference (Diff) between the two.
The Index uses a combination of Opta data including factors such as shots on target conceded in and outside the box, goal attempts in and outside the box and, of course, goals scored and conceded.
As usual the table can be sorted by any of these statistics and, using the Gameweek filters, members can slice the data and analyse teams over the season, a period of gameweeks and even specific gameweeks.
A Top Ten widget will soon be added to the Members Area dashboard allowing quick reference to those teams performing best in the Goal Index both over the season and for the latest Gameweek.
Improved Tooltips
We had a number of users requesting that we freeze the headers on tables making it easier to analyse stats when scrolling. While freezing the headers is something we will look into for next season, in the meantime we’ve given Members the ability to rollover any stat in a table and get a tooltip describing that stat.
We’ve produced a short movie previewing these new features here so Members and non-members alike can get a view on the additions and how they work.
We’ve a long list of Members improvements to come – we will be adding a Team News widget to the main site sidebar very soon, informing our members on the latest changes made to team news and predicted lineups.
Following that we have further Members Next Six Ticker improvements and we’ll be adding averages to our ICT Index, and allowing members to view trends as players rise above and fall below, their season average for each statistic.
