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

          I'll admit, going with Van Persie isn't as risky now with Bale out the picture. But still too much to fork out on one ageing player. He's too much of a gamble if you ask me.

      Safety says start with RvP. If he's not producing (which he will) you can always downgrade. If RvP was to start with a brace against Swans everyone who doesn't have him will be fumbling about to try and get him in and wildcards will be spent.

          True but if he wasnt to perform before or during the Palace game Id be tempted to lose him.

          Lets be realistic though, he will score a few goals in the first four games.

    I have two questions if anyone is willing to help out.

    1. Did anyone watch the Swansea match? It seems all three goalscorers are viable options this season.

    2. Is there anyway Mark et al would be be able to give the stats on how certain defensive rotation pairs would have got on last season? I know there's some info in the rotation pairing articles published earlier in the year but is there any way to get a list of pairings and combined home cleanies etc.

          Currently looking at Sturridge, Lukaku and Soldado to start off.

          Prefer Berbs and Lambert around that price to be honest, and whichever City striker looks to be most nailed at least to start the season. Of course Bony could explode, and looks a good player, but I'd just like to wait and see how he gets on for that price.

      Absolutely. There are certain things I can't settle on either.

I have decided one thing however, I am starting with RvP. That's one headache solved.

    If they did sell bale for 105, thats more than a quarter of their new stadium paid off instantly. Lol.

      Lets put it this way, which is better:

      1. Bale
      2. Suarez plus about £50m in change

      it's getting ridiculous. Too much for one player.

        It depends what they get back from merchandising and selling him on...I listened to a report from one of the big suits at Real describing how much they have made from Ronaldo...can't remeber the figure exactly but ithink it was about 200 mill net...United got a bit ripped off at 80 mill...

    Has anyone thought about rotating Anelka and J Rod for the first few fixtures with a power 5 in midfield? Gives me:

    Migs, Boruc
    Ivanovich, Toure, Collins, Turner, Chester
    Walcott, Hazard, Silva, Couthino, Mirrales
    Lukaku, Anelka & J Rod
    1.5 m in the bank to upgrade Lukaku GW2

    I can almost taste the 4 pt hits early on, but that's not necessarily a terrible thing.
