KPI Analysis – Robin Van Persie

A fortnight ago, we rolled out a Preview Movie of the latest addition to our Members Area – the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) tables. Essentially, these track the frequency of certain key statistics that can help Fantasy managers identify a player’s form – whether it be a turn for the good or worse – over a Gameweek range or season. With this in mind, our first KPI focused members article looks at Robin Van Persie’s first season at United compared to his final year leading the line for Arsenal.

By tracking Van Persie’s frequency of key stats, Fantasy managers can begin to quantify and identify the exact areas of the Dutchman’s game that have altered since his move to Old Trafford last summer as they prepare potential investment for the season ahead.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Diego Costa and Suarez 😯

    Costa makes Suarez look like a saint, 21.8M seems way too much for Costa, what do you guys think of him because admittedly I'm not an expert on him 🙁

        A few on the field altercations that lead to bans, on of which was against Real Madrid and specifically Pepe and Ramos

        Another incident is when he kicked Marquez in the nuts!

      No way liverpool are signing costa if suarez is staying. They have sturridge and Aspas.

      This means suarez is definately off, I don't care what bbc reports

          The offer is understood to have triggered the 24-year-old's release clause and Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is hopeful of completing the deal swiftly.

          Costa who joined Atletico from Valladolid in 2010, scored 10 goals in the Primera Liga last season.

          The striker made his international debut in March this year.

          Liverpool have declined to comment on the bid, but sources at Anfield insist the move has no bearing on Luis Suarez's future, which has not changed since Arsenal made a £40,000,001 bid.
