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. Click here to register and get access to industry-leading stats from Opta and StatsBomb including Defensive Contributions data, the Rate My Team tool, Points Projections, 150+ Member-only articles, exclusive Team Reveals, a customisable Season Ticker, two Transfer Planners... and more!

Put it this way, if RVP does get off to a flyer, and shows potential to increase from last season, good luck getting a 14.5/15m striker into your team without WC.

Better to start off with him imo.

      I'll admit, going with Van Persie isn't as risky now with Bale out the picture. But still too much to fork out on one ageing player. He's too much of a gamble if you ask me.

  Safety says start with RvP. If he's not producing (which he will) you can always downgrade. If RvP was to start with a brace against Swans everyone who doesn't have him will be fumbling about to try and get him in and wildcards will be spent.

      True but if he wasnt to perform before or during the Palace game Id be tempted to lose him.
      
      Lets be realistic though, he will score a few goals in the first four games.

Evening gents,

I have two questions if anyone is willing to help out.

1. Did anyone watch the Swansea match? It seems all three goalscorers are viable options this season.

2. Is there anyway Mark et al would be be able to give the stats on how certain defensive rotation pairs would have got on last season? I know there's some info in the rotation pairing articles published earlier in the year but is there any way to get a list of pairings and combined home cleanies etc.

    It depends what they get back from merchandising and selling him on...I listened to a report from one of the big suits at Real describing how much they have made from Ronaldo...can't remeber the figure exactly but ithink it was about 200 mill net...United got a bit ripped off at 80 mill...

Has anyone thought about rotating Anelka and J Rod for the first few fixtures with a power 5 in midfield? Gives me:

Migs, Boruc
Ivanovich, Toure, Collins, Turner, Chester
Walcott, Hazard, Silva, Couthino, Mirrales
Lukaku, Anelka & J Rod
1.5 m in the bank to upgrade Lukaku GW2

I can almost taste the 4 pt hits early on, but that's not necessarily a terrible thing.

Ok chaps, here's one for you.

Make the worst possible team you can, which includes ridiculously over-priced players and players that won't see any game time.

Make sure it's 100m though, so no putting cheapest option in every position.

Last chance to join the FFS poster Leagues

Want to have a chance of joining a competitive league then click on the link. The idea is to have 5 classic leagues for FFS posters to test their skills against other FFS posters. The league spots will be determined by your previous best overall rank in FPL. To have a chance to join fill out the submission form embedded in the link.

http://allthingsfpl.wordpress.com/2013/06/28/atfpl-leagues-for-ffs-posters/

The cut off Overall Rank as of last night currently stands at 11777. (This is 30 posters per league)

Don't worry if your rank isn't high enough to enter the 5 classic leagues as you can still enter the catch all league where everyone who has said yes to the catch all league in their response will be offered entry.

The closing date is midnight tonight so hurry up if you want to be involved. So far 262 posters are playing.

Cheers 🙂

Hi All!

Any thoughts on this following team?:

Marshall
Dawson, Clyne, Coleman
Hazard, Walcott, Coutinho, Shelvey
Van Persie, Soldado, Dzeko

I'm a little worried i'm a bit light in midfield...? Not sure that Dzeki will be a starter, but I think it's worth the risk early doors, can soon get him out for a form player.

Any feedback greatly appreciated!

Repost

Evening gents,

I have two questions if anyone is willing to help out.

1. Did anyone watch the Swansea match? It seems all three goalscorers are viable options this season.

2. Is there anyway Mark et al would be be able to give the stats on how certain defensive rotation pairs would have got on last season? I know there's some info in the rotation pairing articles published earlier in the year but is there any way to get a list of pairings and combined home cleanies etc.
