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

        I expect great totals from Silva and Walcott for the season so would pick them two over Coutinho. I also feel its easier to find a reliable cheaper differential at Liverpool than at the other two clubs!

          A Europa team will get you more Sunday games than most. For Saturday games, you probably want a team that will be televised as little as possible. So a Stoke, Norwich, Hull.

    Speroni / Boruc
    Collins / Toure / Terry / Zabaleta / Chester
    Thomas / Lampard / Coutinho / Hazard / Walcott
    Lambert / Dzeko / Giroud

    FT, £1.5m in the bank.

    B. team with cheap defense and the nice headache of choices and who to bench (i dont mind)

    Speroni / Boruc
    Collins / Turner / Yanga-Mbiwa / Clyne / Chester
    Silva / Lampard / Coutinho / Hazard / Walcott
    Lukaku / Dzeko / Giroud

    FT, £0.0m in the bank.

    C. Kind of combination of the above two with mirallas as bench and kolo, mertesacker

    Speroni / Boruc
    Collins / Turner / Mertesacker / Toure / Chester

      You can only beat what is put in front of you and Swansea are doing it in style.

    Never realised United made a third bid for Fabs. Chasing a lost cause now though, i think 🙁

    I know Shelvey got off to a bad start at Liverpool, but might seriously consider him now he's at Swansea, looks class.

      ... But was playing 'deeper' whilst Michu was on the field.

        Suppose the best test for him will be when Michu isn't playing.

      Could be good if he holds down a place.

      He's extremely greedy and wants to score. Good for FPL.

      I wonder if these qualifiers will benefit Swansea early season. Gives a level of fitness ordinary friendlies just don't provide
