With the season now in full swing, we begin to adjust our sights when it comes to the statistical analysis available to our Members. We’re set to focus on specific players and teams a good deal more from now on.

Today’s article is a case in point – all eyes were on Mikel Arteta at the Emirates this weekend and Fantasy managers will have been keen to assess how he settled amongst his new team-mates and, indeed, how he fared when it comes to the key performance statistics.

We delve into his ICT Index figures then, drilling down into the Opta data to investigate how Arteta at Arsenal compared to his typical Everton displays of last season, and assess his potential from this point.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Walcott and Gervinho are the most frustrating players to watch, ever. So bad.

    Benayoun should get a spot on the wing at the weekend if Ramsey is back.

      Walcott has barely had the ball, when he did, he produced a great pass.

      Gervinho is just shocking, i've said that ever since i saw him in pre season.

            Finding space, winning the ball and looking for the ball go with someone passing it to you. Not just staying isolated out on the wing.
