Monitor – Robin Van Persie

2,303 Comments
Share

Having opened the season with a double in the Community Shield win over Wigan, Robin Van Persie’s brace in the Gameweek 1 win at Swansea suggested we were in for yet another year of consistent goalscoring. What has followed, however, has been highly unexpected and as United struggle to settle under David Moyes, the Dutchman has a single converted spot-kick to his name in the last six Gameweeks.

A hat-trick for Holland against Hungary last week saw Van Persie become his nation’s all-time top goalscorer and suggested his eye for goal was as keen as ever – with this in mind, we delve into the data to assess just what sort of impact Moyes’ arrival has made on the Fantasy heavyweight.

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

    Need to decide tonight whether to get januzaj...

    Myhill (Boruc)
    Vidic baines wilson (dawson burner)
    michu eriksen ramsey barkley (brady)
    giroud lukaku suarez

    Thinking of doing Brady >> januzaj with my FT

    Pros:
    - am afraid one if my attackers gets rested coupled with starting doubts in Wilson/Dawson
    - builds TV by 0.4m minimum
    - I think he will play the few games, can then move him to another cheapie
    - hull don't have the best of fixtures and Brady could be eased in over time
    - am a utd fan so a bit biased and want to have utd coverage

    Cons:
    - potential waste of a transfer
    - everyone on the community thinks I shd save then FT 🙁
    - potential benching headache but I just feel some of my players might rested
    - am a utd fan 😀

    Opinions?
