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

    My first draft of my team for the start, going for a no Bale and RVP team

    a) I'm not confident in that bale will be here for the start and if he is his mind will be diving into other thoughts.

    b) RVP is really just to expensive to shoehorn in

    Tried to go for a more balanced team this year and try and avoid making an extortionate amount of transfers and hits and early wild cards.

    Does this team look ok or is it to much of a bandwagon team?

    Davis - Boruc

    Toure - Chester - Mertesacker - Luiz - Mcnaughton

    Hazard - Coutinho - Michu - Barkley- Silva

    Lukaku - Dzeko - Giroud

    What does everyone think of Soldado? 59 league goals in 3 seasons at Valencia. That's too good to overlook imo.

      Totally dependant on price. But for sure.

        9.5 I think, better value than Negredo/Jovetic. Should definitely get games, and can turn them into goals as well.

      He has pretty decent stats compared to Defoe and Adebayor:

      Obvious Bale replacement methinks.

        Nice stats really. He could also be on penalties if Bale leaves..

          Did Bale ever take a penalty?

            I'm not even sure of that. But people on here do think that he 'might' have been on them last season.

        I think the opening of FPL is going to be a bit more fun than last season. Too many options upfront, leading to less template teams.

      Not sure I agree with that. 6 attacking players for 3 slots. That just sounds like squad strengthening.

    I hope Michael Carrick is watching this Shelvey display. It's like watching Zidane against a bunch of 5 year olds.
