We continue our series of articles for members focusing on the player Key Performance Indicators (KPI). This time around, we delve into the data to discover those forwards who favoured home comforts over 2013/14 and also assess the more consistent strikers who produced the same sort of attacking threat regardless of fixture.

For the unfamiliar, these Key Performers Indicator (KPI) tables are designed to use a series of key stats to allow our members to track form or change in player performance. By tracking the frequency of certain key statistics and comparing over two separate periods of time, we can ascertain each player’s form, whether it be an improvement or decrease in displays on the pitch. As mentioned in last summer’s introductory article, we’ve rolled out a preview movie which shows just how to get the best out of the KPI tables.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      No far from. Jags will always play being captain. Distin is getting on but I think he is better then stones despite his age.

      I think the 2 (distin and stones) will be rotated with Europe. Distin's legs won't do them all so Stones WILL play but could be Europe or prem, or both.

      So in answer to ur question, no

        His final ball is never great, still very inconsistent due to his age. Funnily enough last season against Liverpool, jokingly, I wanted Southampton to keep passing him the ball as he just couldn't work anything.

        I'll be honest, only seen him play vs Man City a few years ago and funnily enough I think it was a header he got ^^
        I was thinking of putting him in for his 57 goals and 35 assists in 169 league games. Dutch league or not it made me think about him. Seems to be direct and took penalties at Ajax? Don't believe Newcastle have a nailed on pen taker?

        5.5 to begin with was a stupid valuation but having watched his delivery for years (I know lower league) and he also gets forward quite a lot, you'd imagine those attributes won't be affected too much at whatever level he plays at and those atributes are n.b for a fantasy football player.... 5.5m is steep though, better alternative 5.0 or so defenders out there?

      Team looks good, not to sure on Luis being a regular starter tho, Ivanovic well start and i can't see Mou just sidelining Asp.

          early days. Will worry about 4.5 def positions nearer the season starting

    How much do you guys read into pre-season, from a non fpl perspective?

    I only watch it to see what different formations are used, different style of plays. Others take it seriously and say it shapes for what the season will bring

      the last 1 or 2 should be taken seriously.

      a lot of weak teams play with strong teams throughout, still can give you an idea if a player looks like a starter or not

      A little bit of formation information but mostly looking at newer signings and how they fit the team not necessarily goal scoring but other bits and bobs, examples being Herrera, who I've been very very impressed with and Shaw who I've thought hasn't been anything special.

      Don't read into it much, I just try to get a general feel.

    Everyone seems to be going for Dzeko. Will he even start if Aguero is fit?!

      I want Aguero to be fit, so I can get him. He has rarely let me down in fantasy.

      Pre season tough to judge due to World Cup. Luckily, we have the charity shield. If he starts and scores (And Edin doesn't) he'll start appearing here.

        Aguero start the charity shield? 4 weeks after the WC Final? No chance - he actually needs a break to sort his injury problems

      good end to the season, no negredo, pellegrini likes playing two up top.

      Also, hard to see both aguero and jovetic starting in the same game

      yeah, they generally both play together . Negredo is injured so that seems to pretty much cement his starting place
