With the 2011/12 fixture list now revealed, we’ve made both our Free and Members Tickers available to our visitors (refresh your page). Membership subscriptions for the new season have also now opened up and are available for the pre-season ”early bird” price of £12.50.
Existing registered users can upgrade to a Member via this link. Those users yet to register can register as Members via this link. All payments are handled via Paypal.
Once again we’ve purchased the required DataCo license to enable us to include club by club data and team names within the ticker.
The “Next Six Ticker” is available to all allowing you to view the difficulty of the opening set of opponents for all Premier League teams. You can sort within a gameweek column to view rankings for that particular gameweek.
The “Members Next Six Ticker” has a wealth of additional features available…
- Sort by difficulty over a range of gameweeks to analyse those teams with the easiest or most difficult opponents.
- Add and remove gameweeks to expand/contract your analysis selection.
- Expand the ticker to full screen to analyse the entire season or large selections of gameweeks.
- View ratings for Overall Opponent Difficulty, Clean Sheets and Attacking. Using these dropdown filters you can assess who has the most chance of keeping clean sheets or earning goals and assists for a given gameweek or a range of gameweeks.
- Create your own dropdown filters. Members can view the ratings applied to each team for all existing dropdown filters and, by editing these, create their own sets of ratings and dropdown filters.
- Share and import dropdown filters. Any selection of ratings can be easily exported as text and then imported into the ticker. This allows the community to share their team ratings and custom filters.
- Drag and drop rows – Members can drag team rows around within the ticker to allow for easier comparison between teams. This is ideal when analsing teams for defensive potential – particularly when selecting your goalkeeper pairing.
- Rollover information on each ticker cell offers the history of the fixture including statistics on previous meetings between the two teams.
Thanks go out to PureOlivia for his superb and timely work on the tickers.
Members will of course have access to whole range of other benefits. Although this is a “soft” relaunch of the members area, there are a still a number of features we can list, some of which are already available:
- Full Opta Data for both players and teams for the forthcoming season. Statistics arrive after matchdays and offer gameweek and season cumulative statistics for a whole range of match events. Click here for more details on these.
- Cumulative data is available for the 2010/11 (and 2009/10 very soon) to allow you to analyse player and team performance ahead of next season.
- Exclusive Members Only Articles. These articles pick apart the Opta Data and offer new in-depth insight into team and player performance.
- Exclusive Members Cup Competition with a prize pool.
- Access to Beta Test developments. Early signups will have exclusive access to next season’s new site developments in test. We hope to begin testing new features on July 25 – Members will get to see and use these features first.
- Much more to come….
As mentioned, this is very much a “soft” launch of the Members area, fired up early to enable the inclusion of the new Season Ticker. We will be officially launching the Members Area next month and we will be testing and bringing you news of new features over the coming weeks. Stay tuned for development news in the next few weeks.
Above all perhaps, signing up as a site member provides the support that enables us to continue to offer licensed features, continue to develop this site as a valuable resource to Fantasy Managers and for me personally, to maintain involvement to ensure that this site grows and delivers.
As always, many thanks for your continued support.
