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

        32 transfers per season.
        5 captain changes per season.

        the transfers can be used to change your captain without losing a captain change. I am not touching those keepers.

          I wasn't suggesting you did.

          A Europa team will get you more Sunday games than most. For Saturday games, you probably want a team that will be televised as little as possible. So a Stoke, Norwich, Hull.

      Don't really know anything about the guy. It seems that he won't be first choice but he's scored well in preseason. Worth monitoring, if he can come off the bench in the league and score he could be of more use than Thomas.

    REPOST:

    Gents please help needed!! i CANT decide which team to have

    A. Team with defenders from 3 big teams and basically no bench options (thomas)

    Speroni / Boruc
    Collins / Toure / Terry / Zabaleta / Chester
    Thomas / Lampard / Coutinho / Hazard / Walcott
    Lambert / Dzeko / Giroud

    FT, £1.5m in the bank.

    B. team with cheap defense and the nice headache of choices and who to bench (i dont mind)

    Speroni / Boruc
    Collins / Turner / Yanga-Mbiwa / Clyne / Chester
    Silva / Lampard / Coutinho / Hazard / Walcott
    Lukaku / Dzeko / Giroud

    FT, £0.0m in the bank.

    C. Kind of combination of the above two with mirallas as bench and kolo, mertesacker

    Speroni / Boruc
    Collins / Turner / Mertesacker / Toure / Chester
    Mirallas / Lampard / Coutinho / Hazard / Walcott
    Lukaku / Dzeko / Giroud

    FT, £0.0m in the bank

    b) RVP is really just to expensive to shoehorn in

    Does this team look ok or is it to much of a bandwagon team?

    Jeeeeez, my whole team is gonna be based on whether or not I pick RVP. 14 million is still ridiculous, forward line looks much better with him in but MIDFIELD looks weak with him in

    I love the way the weather forecast people fudge the prediction. Lets put on a Sun symbol. And throw a grey cloud nearby just in case...oh and while were at it a little cloud with a few drops

    My feeling/ Negredo is first choice. Pelegrini signing scored 25goals in La Liga. Dzeko is obviously the back up. no matter what Pelegrini says. Mark my words. I am gonna love the Negredo punt if Sturridge is still injured. We will talk when the season starts but surely surely Negredo is above Dzeko in the pecking order for strikers when City comes to discussion

    Kun, Jovetic, Silva, Navas all can play on the flanks or as in out strikers

    Thoughts.. ? .

      Ive been monitoring Dzeko and im not going to take the risk as already planning on having Lukaku so having 2 none nailed on forwards is too much for me.

          yeah I would say so. That's assuming he's fit for the start of the season which I think he will be considering he returned to training about a week ago

      Nice article guys, interesting new tool, be cool to see what we can get out of it.

      Still 95% sure on going without RVP.
