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 season’s players and we’ve added tables that record the number of bonus points players would have been awarded based on this data. We’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, we’ll be running these tables next season so you’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 – only our members have access to these stats.

We’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 you’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 £25,000. Our league is entitled FFScout and our PIN code is 8004519: we have a home cinema system worth £600 up for grabs for the winner.

    Whay have I not seen any love for the Friedel/Green keeper combo?

    They seem to rotate really well..

    is it due to the possibilty of Lloris signing or am I missing something?

            And I know it was against Blackpool, but he did score 3. Dyer and Routledge should provide decent service for him.

    Mancini's new 352 formation is likely to be a 3 2 3 2, with 2 defensive mids and 3 attacking mids, who are going to be in the midfield positions and where will yaya likely feature? If yaya is in the front 3 he is a must in my opinion .

            I think he will use it over 50% of the time Tosey, Martinez's late season use of the shape had a positive effect on him last season. Not to mention he's Italian, and the fact that a Spaniard beat him to the cosmic slop punch, has to ring a tad embarrassing to him personally. Not to mention the effect it had on the sides he can directly see his team having problems with. With all that being said, I think he may mostly use it as a short-cut to minimizing the CL strain on his squad numbers and internal discontent governor.

          Zabs-------------------------------Clichy/Raylorov

          which is why I cram to understand the gross amounts of RMT's with Clichy, Lescott and Kolarov. Too many left footed player and CB playing people in the defense for me to take a chance on any of them GW1. Zabs HAS to be nailed for GW1...which is all anyone can worry about if you don't have Kompany. We won't be seeing Richards, I don't think he's fluid enough to handle the defensive movement and positioning of the 3-5-2 on the right. Don't know if he could he try the right side of the CB triumvirate at this point in the preseason...doubt it.

      I'm skeptical of that, unless you consider a Barry or Milner (i consider them, "working wings": too slow to actually be truely offensive out wide) one of them will team with DeJong, the only true DM on their books. Zabs will be on the right and possibly the 'people's choice' Raylorov down the left.

      So that sounds like to me; 3 CB's, 1LW, 1 RW, three CM's (or swap 2 AM 1 CM or vice versa) and two strikers. They don't really run that shape as you're describing, teams with a surplus of Scott Parker types chisel that shape.

          I think the vast majority of players would move on for a big salary rise. It's a shame for the fans, but that's reality. I mean if I was offered double my salary to work for a competitor, would I go? Almost certainly.

      A pretty spot on article, he sort of played his hand using MEN like that, very clever wording by the Evening News though. He must only have one more day before they go to plan B. Llorente looks to be lost, and they don't want to throw the money out to get past the Brazilian buyout clauses. They'd be better-off getting Dempsey and trusting that Welbz can get it done and get a versatile defender that doesn't get sick every season.

    Morning All,

    Like most i’m having severe doubts with Hazard, especially as RDM has said he’ll ease him in. I also note the abundance of mid price midfielders and wondered what the impact of taking Hazard out for one of those mid price midfielders and in doing so so I was surprised by the massive improvement of my defence.

    So what do you think, team A or B.

      Nice team.
      Maybe a bit pricey at the back imo.
      Not convinced on Hazard just yet. Mata or Lampard instead?
      Going Hazard to Lampard and Kompany to Lescott would free up enough cash to get McClean/Michu/Pienaar instead of one of your budget mids.
      I really like the front three. Could do really well.

    Looks like I'll avoid Rooney/RVP in GW1 and see if the situation is clear after then, will go with Tevez/Lampard instead of Rooney/6M.
    Then in GW2 I may take a 4pt hit for Tevez/Lamps > Rooney(RVP)/6m(5m) or just do Lampard > Nani/Valencia/Kagawa if the striker situation isn't clear. Sorted 😐

      Keep tabs on agger situation because lescott might just fall out of favour, maybe bring in zabaleta

      I think that is kelly for fulham, and even if it is i don't think he'll play

      I think Mata is probably a better option, lampard, while i say this every year, plays far back, and with new signings, i think he'll not get good points

      I think imo aguero is the better option, pre-season he is sharp, so maybe there you could upgrade

      The equivalent of those opening 6 fixtures last year brought 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. Not sure they're such bad fixtures to be honest. The European thing is a valid point, depends how strong a team Pardew puts out though - probably going to use quite a few squad players.

    A few risks in here, but I think I've covered the DGW, defencive coverage from decent teams and the big attacking players. Main stand out is no Rooney (or plan to get him), but if he really does stand out in GW1, then I'll take a hit to bring him in. Otherwise I may just do something like Lampard -> one of the midfielders (Kagawa/Nani) instead.

        I think so - they've been after him for a while and I'd be amazed if they spent that much on a player not earmarked for the first 11. Gunter is possibly the safer bet, but Mariappa offers a decent goal threat.

        Clichy - was nailed on in my team, but I'm now not so sure. His attacking stats are incredible, but there will always be the nagging doubt over a) Kolarov getting some gametime and b) Clichy getting taken off after 59mins when a game is already sewn up. Perhaps I should just find 0.5m extra and get Cole/Lescott....
