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.

    the form of pre-season, do teams generally carry them over to start of the season? what does the past seasons tell us? i think it will help us a lot to pick our fantasy team accordingly.

      Some do. I personally like to people scoring preseason. If they don't and someone else is on fire I would consider the swap. Also it tends to indicate the starting xi which is always important. But results I pretty much ignore

          Basically, Rooney, Mata and Herrera only managed the 45 minutes in the game. Roma dominated for most of the 1st half. Mata and Herrera were pretty quiet. Got better after the water break. Rooney was a threat as per normal, Mata got better as we neared the half way mark.There really isn't much to say about Mata or Rooney besides the goals. Both were very well taken though. Not much to be taken from this game, other than the stuff we already know.
          Roma dominated the better part of the 1st half, and in the spells of possession we got later in the 1st half, Mata and Rooney made the best of em.

          Rooney looks pretty essential though, good pre season form, 2m cheaper than RVP. Possibility of RVP getting eased back in, meaning he will have penos for a bit.

          Mata's prospects can only get better with RVP's return. I suppose there's a possibility that Rooney and RVP will just assist each other, but I don't think that's gonna happen. Think they will only help Mata's case.

          Hopefully, the Inter game sheds more light than this one.

            I think it looks good for Rooney and Mata. LVG wasn't impressed with 3-0 changing to 3-2, but that was no fault on the formation... just United failing to keep possession. The only thing perhaps stopping the 3-4-1-2 at the minute is the lack of depth in the centre/wing-back positions.

            Currently though, with United's fixtures, I wouldn't be averse to a Rooney/Mata combo.

    On Zabaleta

    "Manager, Manuel Pellegrini, is reportedly going to give the full-back a break having featured regularly for the Sky Blues, particularly during the Chilean's first season in England."

                Pit, it basically says Long is the better 3rd striker option if you are just going to play your 3rd striker at home. Jelavic is the better all round prospect if he can get guaranteed pitch time.

                With Europa league duties I don't really see the fascination with either of them two, myself. Neither was particularly prolific last term.

                IMO, Ings, Ulloa and Austin are all cheaper, nailed on and will probably all outscore both the Hull strikers. Three good young strikers have come up from the Championship this term and all available dirt cheap.

      due to the money constraint there is no perfect team as yet. and ppl always stick w the same pool of players for a reason and a particular structure/formation of playing the game thus unless u are perfectly following the template if not there will be faults picked by ppl

      The thing about FPL is no matter how good your team, even if you had 200m and picked the best possible team, theres no way of knowing exactly who if going to do well. A team full of superstars could flop while another full of no-hopers shines.
