KPI Analysis – Lambert and Rodriguez

Over the last few weeks, a combination of factors have elevated Southampton’s Jay Rodriguez into many pre-season Fantasy squads. The Saints’ kind opening run of fixtures has caught the eye, while Rodriguez’s more budget-friendly appeal over Rickie Lambert has also played a part in how we assess his potential across the Fantasy games. Having scored three times in the opening couple of summer friendlies, Rodriguez has been quick to hit form and as interest in the former Burnley man gathers, we use the Key Performance Indicators (KPI) to analyse the impact of Mauricio Pochettino on both Rodriguez and Lambert over the previous season.

As mentioned previously, the KPI helps us track certain key statistics which are indicative of a player’s form over a certain Gameweek range or season. Having ran the rule over Robin Van Persie’s impact at United compared to his final year with Arsenal, we delve into last season’s data to look at the Saints duo’s performances from Gameweek 1-22 under Nigel Adkins compared to Gameweek 23-38, when Pochettino was installed as the new man in charge at St Mary’s. By also utilising the Comparison Tool across the two periods, there’s plenty for Fantasy managers to mull over.

Baines on Toast...
10 years, 10 months ago
The only change I'm left making is switching between 4.5 Palace midfielders, I'm sure one of them's going to fluke a goal and shoot up in price.

Unless Bale's still here this time next week I think I'm sorted...if he stays for the first two weeks, going to have to tear it up...

    slowly his ownership is declining to the point he'd be a massive differential, not sure he's worth it though. Let's all have an agreement to ignore him 😀

What's Norwich defence gonna be? Wondering if Turner has threat from Martin and Bennett at CB (Bassong is clearly guaranteed the other spot). Would MArtin play RB, Garrido LB and Bennett on the bench?

Coleman is significantly more popular in RMTs than Riether. Both are priced at £5.0m. Is this because:

1. Everton will preserve more clean sheets than Fulham.
2. Coleman is OOP and will be more involved in attack even though Riether is also known to get forward.
3. Everton will score many more goals than Fulham, rendering Riether's attacking preferences irrelevant.
4. Everton are a better team (this may or may not be sound fantasy logic, but it could still be any one person's justification for choosing one player over another).
5. Some other reason.

Select all that apply.

  You could definitely make a sound argument in Riether's case.
  
  Riether - 1 goal, 6 assists
  Coleman - 5 assists
  
  Also you'd expect us to be stronger defensively this year with Amorebieta, Stek and Boateng added, and Everton to concede more under Martinez's style.
  
  Having said all that I'd probably still go Coleman.

  I think that it was just the lure of being OOP that brought him to the party but I am seeing less and less of him as Martinez is not being as brave/foolish as many thought and committing to the 3-4-3. I don't see his value as an out and out FB but clearly he should get some time in midfield through the season.
  
  I do see Amorebieta as a reason why Reither's % would be down over all. I know some have spoken of him as a card magnet but he is nailed on for me and the 3rd or 4th best option at 4.5m.

  I can see that working quite nicely. Snod and JRod are both arguably too good for the bench but having said that, if I owned either, I might want to hold them back against the top teams - so rotation could be the answer.

Give me a Mata hug someone.

Watching Chelsk play yesterday against Real ..Wow what a team! I really thought Mata would of had a big impact in that game. Does M have Mata in his mind do you think as his crucial player.

Best players on the field yesterday were Haz and Ram with a mention to Ibra too. imo

Hope this minor injury to Mata keeps him out of the friendly and may through up huge spanners for the D/GW should he be available from G/W1.

  I don't think that is bad at all you will at some point need to probably spread money to the forwards though when you realise who is bringing in the points. Problem is you need a 5th midfielder. Dzeko is a bit risky and can only see big points coming from your midfield tbh. It's one where you need to be aware after the first week

      I prefer Hazard then. But Oscar's ownership is a lot lower, so could be a decent bet if he gets the starts.

Bonjour chaps...

What is your prediction for the top 6 of the premiership this year. I'm going for:-

1: Man C
2: Chelsea
3: Man U
4: Spurs
5: Arsenal
6: Liverpool - if they keep Suarez could get 4th

Swansea could have a shout though...dark horses for this season!

Mignolet Davis

Collins Luiz Shaw Coleman McShane

Silva Hazard Walcott Snodgrass Brady

Sturridge , Soldado , Lukaku

Thoughts ?

Getting Van Persie means dropping Silva , Soldado and Sturridge for Van Persie , Jrod and Mirallas . I might get him in gw 4 if possible.

      Sorry 🙂 . I like this team though. The first three Cs in defence should serve you well and though I'm not a fan of Studge, the other strikers look good. Only criticism might be to have playing back-up for Migs; but I know many are going this way.

Would you wait until Carroll is back before getting Nolan (possibly GW4) or would you still try to capitalise on West Hams nice first 4 fixtures?

RMT my latest thoughts plz

Mig, marshall
Turner, Cole, Collins, clyne, chester
Hazard, Oscar, Walcott, Mirallas, kim
Lambert, V wolfswinkel, Giroud

Defence should be ok on rotation, Oscar will go wk3 and then look see who's performing for a double transfer, see if anyone from Man c is nailed on.

JRod and Anelka have lovely rotation. To a dark place this line of thought will take us, great care we must take...

  You know what I realised? So do Benteke and Anelka. The obvious benefit being you can play Benteke more often than not. Iffy fixtures though.

      Will help in GW3. You won't often want to play Anelka instead, it's true. The way I've set up I can also go 3 up top on occasion though.

        I think Anelka is a 6 - 6.5m man hiding behind a 5.5 price tag so if it's flexible and will see Benteke playing most games, I like it. Anything that breaks the template up a bit 😀
