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'm not disagreeing with you. Those points are not great evidence of his quality though, imo.

    A report on Nacer Chadli I found on the Spurs community website, which some may find useful:

    "I've watched about half of the games Chadli has played in for the past 2 years. I work at a company similar to Opta when it comes to sports stats. I have access to over a wide range of scouting reports and analysis on the players (Prozone, Opta, Scout7).

    Based on compiling scouting reports and analytics, we have Nacer Chadli as the 19th top prospect in the Eredivisie.

    He is also not a starter in the Belgian national team. He's one of the first players used in rotation or off the bench but he is not a regular starter.

    Some of the advanced stats that I did not show are his effective impact on possession. Compared to other players, he has a very low efficiency in establishing, maintaining, or creating attack in possession (translation: he's wasteful with the ball).

    For the record, the Eredivisie is one of the better leagues when it comes to a correlation between a player's performance there and in the PL. What Chadli provides you is a strong, athletic, direct player who is very raw when it comes to integrating with other players. He might turn out pretty good (he has some very good attributes) but I don't think he makes an immediate impact."

        Could also depend on Giroud (or Suarez...?) - if he carried on his pre-season form he could really nail down the centre forward role. I think Walcott would even then still be a good pick, but maybe not for the 16-17+ point hauls he produced a few times last year.

          The offer is understood to have triggered the 24-year-old's release clause and Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is hopeful of completing the deal swiftly.

          Costa who joined Atletico from Valladolid in 2010, scored 10 goals in the Primera Liga last season.

          The striker made his international debut in March this year.

          Liverpool have declined to comment on the bid, but sources at Anfield insist the move has no bearing on Luis Suarez's future, which has not changed since Arsenal made a £40,000,001 bid.

      Pozuelo has the best attacking prospects but the least chance of regular gametime.

      Evs wrote a very positive appraisal of Kim yesterday but he's 5.0m which puts me off.

      Everyone went mad for Cabral after he scored in pre-season but you need to remember that that was his third goal in eight seasons. Very defensive. But I think he stands a very good chance of being nailed on and ought to protect the defence well. Possibly even BAPS for his defensive work in low scoring games. 2-3 points every week for a 5th mid isn't a complete disaster.

          I am getting a little tempted, Evs, I have to say. Last season I almost always had a 4.5m nailed on 5th mid. I had to play them 12 times through the season and I only got attacking returns once. Maybe I should consider splashing out a bit more?

      Koren is an interesting player. I watched a few live games with him before he moved on to the PL , and he was really a great player at the time. I would have thought he'd gotten further in his career by now, but maybe he didnt get matched properly, or maybe he lost his flair. I do think maybe his flair is just dormant, in hibarnation, and I hope we will see some og his former greatness. He had a precise strike from a distance, and could pick out any man with long passes, and showed a great football smartness. He showed top class footballing at his best.

      I plan to make room for this guy in the squad. He is definately one to put on your watchlist. His stats from last season are not bad, and he has (or have once had..) the potential to go "michu" pointswise.

    Don't know if this has be put up already:

    Liverpool have made a £21m bid for Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa.

    The offer is understood to have triggered the 24-year-old Brazilian's release clause and Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is hopeful of completing the deal swiftly.

    Liverpool have declined to comment on the bid, but sources at Anfield insist the move has no bearing on Luis Suarez's future, which has not changed since Arsenal made a £40,000,001 bid.

          Luiz: Because he played the Confederations Cup, was given a few more days of rest. Has thus played only one match (45 mins last night, vs Inter Milan) so far this pre-season, and wasn't on any kicks in those 45 mins. Although, it is obviously premature to assume that he wouldn't take any, at all. Played as CB, and should continue to do so. Mourinho has stated that he sees Luiz as a ball-playing central defender. His days as OOP could be history, as it stands.

          Cole: The most nailed-on Chelsea defender, as it stands. Should be least prone to rotation, at least for the first few weeks. Perhaps, the safer bet.

    The season to play 3-5-2?

    I've always been a 3-4-3 fan because of the flexibility it affords in terms of transfers moving through the season. I.e. if you're third striker is 5.5/6m fodder then you have to release cash through transferring elsewhere in order to upgrade; which means two transfers.

    The number of appealing midfielders this season though - coupled with uncertainty around almost every forward - is making me reconsider this with a view to moving to a 3-5-2.

    Almost every "premium*" forward I can think of has doubt surrounding them. *Premium in my view is a forward from a top seven club (MUN,MCI,CHE,ARS,TOT,LIV, EVE) - the archetypal goal scoring machines from seasons gone by.
    RVP - very expensive at £14m.
    MCI forwards - rest and rotation (I 100% do not by that Dzeko is going to be their "main man".
    CHE - rest and rotation again.
    ARS - Giroud actually appears nailed on unless ARS sign another forward (but ultimately though, it's Giroud).
    TOT - Soldado is not proven in the PL - he could hit the ground running but e could take time to adjust.
    LIV - is Suarez going? Is Sturridge fit? Will they sign another forward? Minefield.
    EVE - rest and rotation again.

    My point is that to get a nailed on forward - who isn't RVP or Giroud - we're looking into the middle echelon of the league. Benteke, Carroll, Berbatov, Rodrigues, Cisse, Long and Bony. All good options, and I'm sure one will explode and score bags of goals this season, but there is risk and uncertainty.

    Premium midfielders on the other hand jump off the page with the exception of MUN. Silva, Hazard, Walcott, Bale (albeit unlikely), Coutinho, Mirallas. I want all of them in my team and that's even before I've considered the mid-priced options.

    The conclusion I've reached is that 3-5-2 is much more appealing this season than it has been in previous seasons and this is due to the number of premium midfielders that offer good price/ value and are 100% nailed on to play relative to the fewer number forwards who are nailed on.

      agreed.

      for me i think Lukaku will become Drogba and lead the line for Mourinho. if he wasnt already at chelsea what he did over last season would have enticed bids of £30-40m for his services. so thats one slot that im pretty confident is taken.

      the other 2 there are a lot of options. most people are getting walcott/silva/hazard/miralles in midfield so ideally the remaining 2 fwd slots should go to Utd/Liv/Tot players.

      RVP is too expensive and the initial fixtures are poor. I also think Kagawa will come through this year (last year injured by still got 87pts in 1300mins - if we pro-rata that its 214pts for the season) to make an ideal 5th mid for a Power 5.

      That leaves Liverpool or Spu*s for the final slot. I wouldnt touch an unproven player so Sturridge is there by default, and fixtures suit also.

        I've got Sturridge down as not certain at the mo. I understand he's injured at the moment and might not be fit for the start of the season. Suarez to ARS or Madrid is far from a done deal which means that from GW7 onwards he could be back and competing. Sturridge was heavily affected by Suarez last season. Sturridge could therefore be a four/five gw punt.

        I think Lukaku might become Drogba and I agree with you about Kagawa...also Moyes may pick a more settled team than Fergie did

        I think there are a multitude of interesting possibilities for teams without RVP and Bale...there is zero chance I's go Baleless if he stays but let's face it he's going to go

        one possibility is to pick an even more aggressive team than uber mo suggests...what about 8 attacking players who can score a hat-trick and stuff the cheap bench players...a team like this leaves money on the bench but it's very flexible, allows you to pick somebody like Dzeko if you want and you can easily switch to a cheap and hot dirt-cheap midfielder or attacker whenever you like

        some people like starting with cash in the bank...this is the same idea except you put that cash into your cheap attacking player

Atm I have Silva as City coverage but I feel Coutinho looks better value at the same price, and I'm not going anywhere near the Dzeko bandwagon. I have decided one thing however, I am starting with RvP. That's one headache solved.

      Aye. Was happy, now not! Had Silva in, took him out for Wally; but starting to feel City attacking cover is essential in the first few weeks, far moreso than having RVP in fact, especially with their respective fixtures. Only issue is who the hell to get!?

    Guys, we have reached around a 100 registrations in the FFS Uefa Council Leagues, with registrations closing on 9th August.

    To those of you who don't know what these leagues are about, here's a quick gist -: Basically, we host leagues trying to mimic the best leagues in Europe i.e. -: Premier league, La-Liga, Serie-a, Bundesliga, Ligue1 and a fictional Rest of Europe. Each league has 20 participants, and it also has a corresponding live score and live table site. Your scores used are retrieved directly from FPL so you have to make no extra effort. Plus there are pressers, league-match reviews and other shit! 🙂

    If you want to know more about the competitions, read the article -: http://uefacouncil.wordpress.com/2013/07/27/return-of-the-leagues/

    If you want to skip the nonsense and go straight to the registration form go here -: http://preciselyme.com/fpl/form

        Ah well, to be honest leagues aren't my favorite thing. I prefer the knockout cups. But yes, genuinely excited for Season 3. Still haven't made my mind on the league and club, I want. 🙂

        Btw your first choice of club has stiff competition. Super-stiff competition 🙂

        I am genuinely surprised at the number of people who opted for their previous club. How's the summer been?

        Frankly speaking, I am super excited for the World Cup. Got some ideas, and I think it could be a blast fantasy-wise, so don't take a break then. But that's way in the future 🙂

            To give maximum participants a chance, it should be like the Euros. This was when the FFS UEFA was really launched, and the community (myself included) were extremely excited as it was the first time. Now, I don't even remember who came up with the idea of a doubles competition for Euros.......

        could do the math from past years, probably.

        Zero and zero every week from GK
        Have to go with four defenders. Maybe luck into one clean sheet, plus 2 x 2 and maybe a 3, so maybe 13 from back line.
        Tally those five mids points from last season, add to Coutinho, subtract a bit from Bale due to Soldado (assuming Bale stays), leave Hazard, Walcott and Silva the same. Divide all those points by 38, because you will play all five every week
        Add RVP's points and divide by 38

        Add half of RVP's points again, plus half of Bale's points again, assuming you would captain one or the other every week.

        Voila.

          Back of the envelope math, from last year, more than doubling Coutinho's points and only dropping Bale from 249 to 220, leaving everybody else the same, gives you... fifty points per week if you get that lucky from your back four every week.

          0 per week for keeper
          13 per week from back four (if lucky)
          262 RVP, 220 Bale, 147 Silva, 190 Hazard, 150 Coutinho, 191 Wally plus half of RVP points again and half of Bale points again gives you 37 per week from the front.

          Assuming no injuries and no fall-off in form from anybody.
