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

        Boruc will probably play by the looks of it, but I dont know if he will be 110%. I usually always go for the home player so no Sturridge. I dont like Michu cause SUN looking a bit better after Di Canio and I dont think there will be many goals. So Roo or Lukaku for me

      Denmark were the only second-placed team to miss out on the play-offs. Croatia just pipped them.

      Put money on Greece/Ukraine getting drawn vs France/Sweden. Sepp knows who he'd rather qualify.
