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

      Michu for Bony's goal and I think it was Shelvey for Michu's but not certain.

      Pretty nice there. I'm not sold on Lamps or Ivan long term, but ok for DGW. I'd downgrade Ivan (after DGW) for someone cheaper, upgrade Parr or Chester by .5, MTurner, Mbiwa, etc.

      Then use extra funds to upgrade Lamps if possible.

They will try and get you to cut your package but just refuse, say it's not worth having if you can't have sports and movies and HD is essential.

    Don't know if this has be put up already:

    Liverpool have made a £21m bid for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa.

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

    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.

    In Dailymail FF you can sub in your spare players daily. So I need a CS keeping Sunday/monday keeper and a CS keeping saturday keeper. Who falls into these categories?
