Monitor – Robin Van Persie

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

          Lamela could play left side but Siggy is on form at the moment so takes that spot (it won't last). Not sure why Townsend doesn't play on the left with Lamela on the right.

              I think do too. Defensively Cole is better but offensively and the bonus of being a corner taker and free kick specialist gives it to Baines IMO

              Also useful in pen shoot outs
