KPI Analysis – Robin Van Persie

1 August 2013 2715 comments

Paul

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.

This content is restricted to Chief Scout Members.

Boruc, Jaask

Zabaleta, Chester, Turner, Coleman, Collins.

Miralles, Snodgrass, Hazard, Coutinho. Tonev

J Rod, RvP, Lukaka,

0.5m left...

Some Rationale..
The keepers rotate well with good fixtures...
Didnt want to spend much in defence.. Cheapies with good fixtures and ok rotations..Hopefully all starting.. Will consider Toure and possibly Alcaraz too... for extra value..

Spent big in Mid, Tonev has a double GW and he could be Fantasy gold.... or not.. but anyway not a risk...

Up front.. Ive gone for RvP as I expect Bale to go almost certainly..
Will consider Saldado and Negredo too though.. Also Giroud looks tempting..

What are yer thoughts on the line up anyway?
Cheers..

  Monitor Tonev, if he starts the two could be a decent pick. Lambert has so many options in attacking midfield so I doubt it.
  
  As I mentioned before, I am not a fan of Snodgrass.. but he is well backed here so don't listen to me 😉 I feel as though he won't be the consistent midfielder we want in our teams.
  
  Zabaleta may be rotated with Richards.

  Oh Arsene. How you infuritate me. With Suarez making sounds he'd join Arse, why not just stump up the cash? If they fail to get another quality striker this season, Arsene, and Arsenal will look bad, and i'm sure many of the first teamers will be low on morale. Just do it man!

      Always with the 'promise' though. We said that when we had Fabs, Song, Nasri, etc etc. Many younger players don't make the heights expected of Arsenal, and then many who do, they leave to win trophies. It's good for the club and and the youth to bring in top class players. Ferguson was always smart this way - balancing the two.

Going for a balanced side with not too much exposure for DGW. How does this look?

Mignolet (Given)
Ivanovic Clyne Collins (Chester Parr)
Hazard Walcott Coutinho Mirallas (Thomas)
Van Persie Dzeko Anelka

Plan to ship out Big Ivan after the double and upgrade Anelka. Thoughts?

  I like that a lot on paper, but i'm risk averse and i think Dzeko and Anelka are both risks for game time. If they both play, it would be a great team.

      "Worth a punt", maybe but not worth two. If you also consider Lukaku as a punt - albeit one with odds in you favour - then the line-up looks too risky to go with from the off.

        Well, I have an itchy transfer finger anyway lol, plus if this season is anything like last if Dzeko or Anelka score well GW1 they'll big transfers in from knee jerkers. If they don't I'm not going to lose that much. After all the management changes, fitness questions and wantaways it's kind of difficult to pick nailed-on options right now imo - hence not starting with RVP, Suarez, Sturridge etc. Soldado is going to be really interesting but we don't even know how much he'll cost yet.

  Many will tell you that Thomas is a better option at 4.5 than Dikgacoi. I think Boruc may be a better choice than Marshall considering the fixtures of those 2 teams. I don't think Jarvis will be getting you too many points away from home. Maybe use that generous bank balance to find a similarly priced mid to rotate with him instead of having a perpetual 4.5 bench fodder?

      I put RVP into my Baleless team yesterday, the theory behind it was I'm taking a punt on Dzeko and likely to want rid of him and 3 Chelsea in the first few weeks so that making all moves to get RVP in would be too much of a hassle.

      Lots would but last season put me off. Great fixtures though.
      
      All that said I'm starting without cover for a few weeks until I see how they are shaping up. Either Dzeko or Negrodo will come in if they're starting frequently. Prefer this to betting on the wrong horse.

League for dead teams - no transfers or wildcards during the season, pick your team and captains prior to gw1 then it is hands off for the rest of the season.

Avoid suspensions and injuries as best you can...

Second teams should not be entered in scout leagues etc! Just a bit of fun on the side.

    Spreading the money more evenly through the team as the subs will inevitably come into play. Your first sub is going to get a lot of game time at least.
    
    Reliability becomes all-important and double gameweeks irrelevant...something to play with while we wait for the season to start.

    Only defender who I'm confident will play twice is Cole with Luiz and Ivan as decent prospects. But they still need to play 60mins and avoid conceding. The odds don't favour it so you're relying more on attacking points and bps to justify this as a short term pick.
    
    Worth adding here that a GW1 team is always a bit of a risk. You can be certain that there will be one or two players that you'll want to lose by 3:30pm on Saturday so it doesn't make a lot of sense to plan transfers unless you're will to take early hits.

      Sure, but he also loves Fat Frank, who loves a pop and goal himself (and is on pens).
      
      Mata/Hazard/Oscar/Schurle/Moses/De Bruyne is a fair bit of competition for the front 3. Only Hazard looks safe for both games in the DGW imo given international commitments.

  I had to play my 5th mid 12 times last year. That's nearly one in three weeks. Making me think I should splash the extra 0.5m for a better chance of more than 2 points each time.
  
  Having said that, Cardiff's opening fixtures are unpleasant so Kim might be one for the inevitable early WC.
