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

    Wish this Gareth Bale debacle would get solved. Seriously annoying.

    I hate real and Barca muscling in everywhere all the time.

    Here spain has 20 odd % unemployment and you have real willing to spend ridiculous money on one player. Please tongue my ar$se.

      You've spent way too much on your backline. Midfielders and Fowards score most points, so optimise your spend in these areas.

    Quick question,

    Maybe I just havn't seen it, but why hasn't there been more discussion on Lampard? Is it just because he's a rotation risk like so many other options? I just thought he'd be an interesting alternative than having to pick a Chelsea defender who may not be nailed on for 2 games..

    Thoughts?

      Strange one.

      People are forgiving towards Lukaku for missing the Villa game, but when it comes to Lampard suddenly play two games is a must.

      Lampard is just as, if not more explosive.

        Ya I dunno.. The way I was looking at it was even if he plays 1 game.. It's his 1 game against the 1 game of either Ivan or Luiz.. If you look at it that way, and have the extra funds, he might still be a decent option.

    Should Coutinho 20.7% ownership compared to Silvas 6.1% ownership have any affect on my decision to pick either?
    Obviously if Coutinho does poorly theres more chance of him dropping drastically in price when compared to Silva.
    I think Silva pricing is spot on he started at 10m last season and dropped to 9m.
    Coutinho sky rocketed from 6.5 with some great form but i don't know what is value should be.
    At 8.5 he would be straight in my team but the same can be said for Silva...

    MID: Mirallas, Hazard, Couthino, Walcott
    FWD: Lukaku, J-Rod, Dzeko

          In previous campaigns, I've always been 0.1 or 0.2 short of making a decent substitution. I want to cover myself well and truly this time around. Also, an inclusion of Soldado will mean a reduction for my in the bank.

        But will also give some rationale.
        1. Kompany vs. Mert: I'm not convinced City will be as solid in the back this year. They already took a step back last year from the year before and with a supposedly "attack-minded" plan for the year, it could be worse. Arsenal was quite solid in end last year.

        2. Silva vs Dzeko: Too much competition at the attacking tip for Dzeko to be reliably a part of it all, and he doesn't do anything else. Silva could rack up shit-tons of assists this year and will be in the middle of whatever kind of lineup they put together up top, I would think.

        3. Oscar vs Lukaku: I like Oscar, but he certainly hadn't reached the point where he was pushing Hazard or Mata out of the way for playing time. Those two are both stiffer competition for Oscar to overcome than Little Bunny Foo Foo Torres, or Demba Ba are for Lukaku. Lukaku was third or fourth in goals scored in EPL last year.... As a part-timer. The fact that Mourinho wouldn't let him out on loan again says to me that he has plans for him.

        That's why B...

      Rodgers seems to hate Squirtle for some reason (why else would old man Carragher get so much gametime ahead of him last season?) and he's widely expected to go out on loan to Napoli.

      Liverpool are strongly rumoured to be in for Papadopoulos and I think most expect him to be ahead of Kolo eventually if he signs, but the clock is ticking for bedding into the team and even if he signed tomorrow, he'd probably be eased into the side.

      Good question. Needs some thought.

      On balance B looks the nicer long term selection with Koren and JRod solid picks for 5th mid and 3rd striker. There's less competition in my team for these places and the selection itself is not critical to the overall team. Silva, otoh, occupies a more important position which i would rather give to Haz, Wally or Coutinho.

      A offers a few more intriguing options and fixtures appear to say Mirallas and Jarvis could score well early doors. But i worry about team balance if Mirallas is 3rd mid and Bony is 3rd striker.

      So, B

      But it's also good for acquainting yourself with the teams, players, fixtures and prices. When the clock starts ticking, you won't need to waste time figuring out who your best options at £7m are, or whether Cardiff's fixture list warrants investment.

      Snodgrass gives much more attacking threat and is on set pieces so has to be the premium option particular if baps are factored in. For me he's the best midfield in that price range.

      ive considered going oscar and hazard first gameweek too but a bit risky....
      An injury or non start and you're chasing then at GW 2 trying to fill holes..

      On the other hand.. it could be a master stroke.. haha.. cant win really..

        I'm happy with the midfield, and the likes of Kagawa, Paulinho, Misalles all provide easy transfers out after the first gameweek. My biggest concern is the lack of a "season keeper" up front. I think with a midfield that strong Soldado is going to be essential?
