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

    What's the latest on Pouzelo?

    Do we think he is nailed on now? He played yesterday, he even scored. Was this the 1st Swansea Team against Malmo?

          Tough one, I'd say. Going with four Chelsea players means you're bound to face taking a hit prior to the blank, regardless if any of your Chelsea players return you massive points or just a mere 1 or 2 pointer.

          But it's the beginning of the season, no one wants to get left off behind. 😀

      Decent assuming Bale leaves. Looks like it should be more than 100m to me. Going to have to be smart with your captain choices though.

      Get Zabaleta over Clichy if you want a City defender. Pretty solid team though, play a 3-4-3 instead of a 4-4-2, so bench Coleman and play Rodriguez. Hope that helps 🙂

        Is Zabaleta nailed on? I have the exact same team as above except JRod is Anelka and Clichy is Zabaleta

    Rate My Team :* Currently running 3-5-2, Give us your thoughts!

    Mignolet (Mannone)
    Cole, Coleman, Mertesacker (Chester, Parr)
    Silva, Walcott, Mirallas, Hazard (c), Sessengnon
    Dzeko, Soldado (Rodriguez)

    This is assuming Soldado is priced at 9, If any extra cash is needed then Mertesacker > Shaw or Rodriguez > Cornelious to free up a bit. Im liking Sessengnon as a unique, priced very well. Thoughts?

    How much AVL cover do people have for the DGW? I'm on Benteke and Vlaar at the moment, I got some ridicule for considering an AVL defender but I've been thinking about it and it kinda makes sense with Vlaar's goal potential and the fact that Sunderland managed to get a cleanie GW1 against Arsenal away last season...

        Actually no, I've been working it out and because the nailed-on AVL defenders are so cheap that you can bench them for gw 2/3 and play them again in their decent fixtures in GW 4 and 5 without having to transfer them out like you have to do with the Chelsea players. I am aware that this is a bit of a punt but for 4.5 million, why not? Especially when Vlaar is 100% nailed-on to start both matches and there are major question marks surrounding the starting security of most other 4.5 choices (Yanga, Collins, norwich's Turner etc etc). Just a thought.

          Have a feeling Vlaar will get 4 pts at best. Arsenal scoring for fun these days & Chelsea normally smash Villa.

          It's an interesting thought, but you have to look beyond the DGW. I'd rather have Collins/Turner (if fit)/Clyne than Vlaar. 4.5 defenders aren't usually the #1 transfer priority to "fix".

            Thanks for the replies everyone, I agree that those fixtures do indeed look better but it could be worth a gamble 😉

    RVP vs Aguero/Negredo is one of the big conundrums for first three games... Leaning towards Aguero simply beacuse the extra 3m allows +1 big hitter in midfield or attack...

      Aguero let me down far too often last season. His price is just not justified.

      Aguero is injured right now, which stopped being something new for him quite a while ago.

    Now that Caulker is in at Cardiff, I presume this means Turner will be out of the starting X1.

    Anyone else other than Chester likely to start at 4.0 now?
