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

    RMT please folks?

    Boruc, Mignolet

    Baker, Coleman, Collins,Turner, Ivanovic

    Walcott, Hazard, Snodgrass, Oscar/Lampard, Thomas,

    Van Persie, Lambert, Anelka

    1. Is there enough cover for double gw? (Is benteke better option than Oscar/Lamps)?
    2. Is Baker nailed on?
    3. Coleman best 5million def?
    4. Thomas nailed on?

    Any opinions appreciated cheers

      I wouldn't get hung up on Villa players for the double gameweek, two very hard games, and they have blank a few weeks in,

      I have coleman in, could provide some attacking returns if he's pushed forward to midfield.

      I don't think I could be any less interested in so much as even looking at other people's teams nevermind rating them. It actually depresses me.

    Ok chaps, here's one for you.

    Make the worst possible team you can, which includes ridiculously over-priced players and players that won't see any game time.

    Make sure it's 100m though, so no putting cheapest option in every position.

    Last chance to join the FFS poster Leagues

    Want to have a chance of joining a competitive league then click on the link. The idea is to have 5 classic leagues for FFS posters to test their skills against other FFS posters. The league spots will be determined by your previous best overall rank in FPL. To have a chance to join fill out the submission form embedded in the link.

    http://allthingsfpl.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/atfpl-leagues-for-ffs-posters/

    The cut off Overall Rank as of last night currently stands at 11777. (This is 30 posters per league)

    Don't worry if your rank isn't high enough to enter the 5 classic leagues as you can still enter the catch all league where everyone who has said yes to the catch all league in their response will be offered entry.

    The closing date is midnight tonight so hurry up if you want to be involved. So far 262 posters are playing.

    Cheers 🙂

    Any thoughts on this following team?:

    Marshall

    Hazard, Walcott, Coutinho, Shelvey
    Van Persie, Soldado, Dzeko

    I'm a little worried i'm a bit light in midfield...? Not sure that Dzeki will be a starter, but I think it's worth the risk early doors, can soon get him out for a form player.

    Repost

    Evening gents,

    I have two questions if anyone is willing to help out.

    1. Did anyone watch the Swansea match? It seems all three goalscorers are viable options this season.

    2. Is there anyway Mark et al would be be able to give the stats on how certain defensive rotation pairs would have got on last season? I know there's some info in the rotation pairing articles published earlier in the year but is there any way to get a list of pairings and combined home cleanies etc.

        And considering his history with injuries, it looks like a re-think might be needed for my Liverpool coverage. Coutinho looks a little overpriced but secure all the same but not sold. Gerrard a viable option still?

          Yeah, in my opinion. He finished within the Top 8 (I think) midfielders last season and will always be getting some points. Very consistent yet not as much potential.

            Just doesn't excite me getting Gerrard. You're right, consistently performs but how often will he return double figures like Sturridge could. Can't go without Liverpool early but can't see Sturridge being fit in time

    Long time player, but new to the site this year. Appreciate all the thoughts, good fodder. quick question for the pros though:

    for those of you going with 3 Chelsea DGW players (or 4 with Benteke), how to do you expect to manage the team through the Man U game and bye week? I understand having one pre-programmed move but two (or more)? feels risky to me?

    Take Cole vs Zabs. Wouldn't you want a guy that is nailed on with 4 easy starts out of the gate rather than Cole who will have a good first week and then be worthless for a few weeks. Understand doing to chelsea guys (I currenlty have Hazard and Lukaku) with an expecation to sell one (Lukaku) sometime in the first 2 weeks. Are you expecing to use your WC after week 1?

      I'm currently sitting with 4 DGW players with a view of 3 transfers over the first 2 GW's, so a -4 hit. Currently half an eye on WCing GW3. 4 point hit I feel is worth it at this stage.

        Pros - you get 4 extra games (obviously great, and particularly the Chelsea games could be huge value)

        Cons - i) need to spend 4 points, ii) have at least 2 players in week 2 with poor match-up, iii) will have a big price player not playing in gameweek 3 and iv) have no flexibility if injury or surprise happens with the rest of your squad.

        Is that how you are looking at it?

          To an extent JR, at this stage I've not many concerns about any Chelsea players playing against Man U but that of course may change. My Villa is Weimann with a big 5 midfield so he rotates with Jrod so is currently on bench for gw2 & 3 if he's not one of the players I transfer out. Weimann scored against Liverpool, ManU & arsenal so I feel he's a realistic punt over 2 games. The value of the Chelsea players covers most scenarios for transfers over the next 2 gw's. I've held onto my WC the last 2 seasons till after the Jan WC and it's not worked particularly well so the plan is use it early and gain early value. Like anything in this game it's only a matter of opinion and I'm usely wrong! 😉

      Caveat: I'm in no way a pro 😉

      No need at all for a wc imo. I'll probably go in with a defender, Hazard and Lukaku. I have absolutely no problem playing Haz and Lukaku at Old Trafford, I'd actually be pretty hopeful for some attacking returns. I see some people planning on taking hits to get these guys out which seems like nonsense to me.

      I'll be getting rid of my defender, probably Cole or Luiz, for a City defender for GW2, and then probably getting rid of Lukaku for a City striker for GW3. No plans set in stone yet though, I'll just see hoe it goes

        I wouldn't suggest it, however it is a possibility. Remember, this is like when Liverpool bought Suarez as cover and as a partner for Torres, even though there were rumors of him leaving. This is the same case. He is meant to be a partner for him, and if Sturridge is injured, the Pool need more than Aspas up front to head off the season.

      Soldado will be 9.
      Defoe is 8.5, Ade 8.0.
      Spurs players are cheaper than City ones generally.
      So he'll be less than negredo

    That's really very annoying. I'd posted on a tripadvisor forum today giving some travel advice and recommending a hotel in Amman that I stayed in, and have just found that my post has been taken down as inappropriate by the owner of a rival hotel.

    It seems that there is nothing i can do except email the original poster and report the rival hotel owner's post.

    KEYBOARD WAR!!!!! 😀

        Amman Pasha was the one I stayed at, Arab Tower is the one that's annoyed me.

    QUICK QUESTION....

    Is this site worth the £12.50 fee? Do you actually get a lot of 'decent info' for the money?

    I have a money league with friends, top prize being £100...so i don't mind the £12.50 hit.

    Finished 2nd in my friends league the last 2 seasons, i need that pissing first posistion for the 100nicker lol

      I've been a member for three years, incredible amount of content. And it's nice to support the site, especially for me, I spend around 10hrs a week using it.
