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

    According to L'Equipe (sports daily in France), Newcastle and Lyon have reach an agreement for Bafetimbi Gomis although a few details still need to be sorted out...
    So Cisse on his way out?

    What I read from this artical is not that RVP can be discounted because of stats from last season.
    Yes he had a drop off of some stats but that's because every player at arsenal passed the ball to RVP in the 11/12 season if he was in the best position or not. Added to the fact he had been there donkeys years and knew everyone inside out.

    The fact that RVP still produce the goods in a big team full of egos in his first season with them only shows me that with that first season under his belt he will be even more deadly this coming one. He now knows the players better he is clearly still there main goal threat. 14mil or not especially with bale all but gone you gonna want him in your team.

    Hey guys.

    Can you go to the ticker and try to sort the GW3 games by difficulty? For some reason mine doesn't work and I wondered if I was the only one.

    GW1, 2, 4, 5 and 6 work fine. Just GW3

    Yours?

    Anyone else thought about a mid price rotation combination of Nolan+J-Rod.

    Think it will serve well for the first few weeks with one or both becoming early bandwagons and then sell either when the transfer window is closed and team selections are a little more obvious (eg. Kagawa/Rooney/Suarez/Bale/Dzeko/Aguero etc all have a question marks over them).

        I've been watching Arsenal's preseason games and Walcott has not been looking very sharp compared to Giroud, but then it is only preseason...

      Walcott if any arsenal player. I think a city player is a better bet, just no Idea who will play 😀

    Seems to be FPL policy that onlt the out & out striker is classed as a Forward. 2 wide players in a 4-3-3 formation are usually classed as midfielders. Those who play "in the hole" are usually classed as Midfielders and even Michu who played 60% plus of his games last season as the out and out centre forward has been classed as a midfielfer again................

    There really is a need for a new classification of "attacking midfielder" but it appears FPL putting head in the sand........................

          Arteta snod > coutinho Mirallas (silva?)
          RVP Jrod > berbatov lukaku (lukaku DWG then giroud or dzeko or soldado depending on form?)
