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

    Say a team goes 2-0 up at half time, and then the opposition scores to make it 2-1 FT.

    Why does the second goalscorer get the winning goal bp when it was the first scorer that broke the deadlock? Not sure I like this rule.

          not true, cos if it finished 2-1 without that 2nd goal it would have been 1-1, so the 2nd goal is the goal that won the game.

          As AB (alias BAP Chap) points out, it's a winning goal BAP, not a deadlock breaking BAP

          If tonight's game had been a PL game, Rooney would have got the BAP, for Friday none would have been given since the 2nd goal was an OG

              well, then it wouldn't be a winning goal anyway.Which goal decided the outcome, the first or the second?

                Well, in theory, both decided the outcome didn't they? Would they have own without the first? No. Would have they won without the second? No. So they both have decided the outcome yes? So, the rule shouldn't even exist imo.

          I understand that to win games you need more than one goal if the opposition score. But the winning goal is the winning goal, which is the winning goal. The winning goals are the goals people remember, the goals you are thankful for when you score them.

            Also, for a game that ended 1-0, the bloke who score the winning goal is also relying on his team keeping a clean sheet. This means that his winning goal is also predicated on other factors. Does that make it any less of a winning goal?

            It means Osman likely to be more important cover there, so Barkley more assured of starting. Osman does play CAM and deeper in CM.

          Blatter is *very* unlikely to be biased towards Switzerland.

          There's a movement in the country to get FIFA to pay their taxes, and so Sepp's threatened to move the institution to Paris. He's seriously unpopular with the Swiss.

            Blatter is only biased to anyone who's got some money for his corrupt organisation.

        Just in case you're not on a wind-up, exactly what benefit would FIFA get from rigging the seedings in favour of mighty Switzerland and Belgium?

        Their seeding rules are clear. People might not like them, especially if all they want to see is the traditional big nations (and England?) automatically placed as top seeds, but they're transparent enough.

    so international games are over.

    I have 1 more FT to use.

    Am I:

    A. keeping it ?
    B. do any of those:
    B1. Lampard: arrow: Walcott ( still not confirmed fit)
    B2. Lampard ➡ Oscar ( may be benched because of playing bot int. games in Asia & important game in CL to come in the upcoming midweek and City clash afterward)

      Keep the FT, don't even consider Walcott until he actually does something useful unlike the first couple of games of the season. His injury was a blessing to many FPL teams, good riddance!

        True that. But Willian's nowhere near to full fitness right now to start the games. And as for Hazard and Schurrle, they have started the games together. Will look more into it who was playing where, but I reckon Schurrle used to be fielded on the right flank.
