KPI Analysis – Forwards, Last Four Gameweeks

In our third members’ article of the week, we turn our attentions to the player Key Performance Indicator (KPI) statistics. We delve into the data once again and, focusing our attentions on the forwards, assess player form over the last four Gameweeks compared to the first seven rounds of fixtures.

For the unfamiliar, these Key Performers Indicator (KPI) tables use a series of key stats to allow our members to track a trend in player performance as a guide to their form. By tracking the frequency of certain key statistics, such as minutes per chance, and comparing them over two separate periods of time, we can ascertain patterns of improvement or decline in these areas. For those unfamiliar, we’ve rolled out a preview movie which shows just how to get the best out of the KPI tables.

    I plan on bringing in Pelle & Fabregas for Costa & Downing either this GW or the next one.

    With Fabregas possibly fit for West Brom, I'm left with the following options for GW12:
    A) Downing (eve), Pelle (avl) (free)
    B) Downing (eve), Costa (WBA), (-4 points) (and I can upgrade my defence/Begovic for free a GW earlier)
    C) Fabregas*** (WBA), Pelle (avl), (free)

    ***1st sub: King vs Sunderland home if Fabregas doesn't play

    Downing could rise tonight, so I need to decide now. 🙂

    Costa will also probably rise again this GW, and Fabregas could drop. It'll most probably save me 0.2-0.3 to make the transfers this GW.

      B would also leave me with the choice of captaining Aguero or Costa. Aguero will be captain in A and C.

      Why you bringing in Pelle now when the fixtures are turning
      And Cesc on yellows and flagged

        Other way around. haha. Costa & Downing in for Pelle & Fabregas.

      C looks the best option so wait if you can afford it I reckon. Think you phrased your opening line the wrong way round by the way - was a bit confused at first

        Yeah! I just woke up after a 5 hour nap. Haha. Thanks for pulling through when times were tought. 😉

          tough! My eyes are still adjusting.

            🙂 Go back to sleep for a few more minutes mate!

    Really can't figure out whether getting Sakho last week instead if Austin was a good or bad move.

    1. Ikey Warrior
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm in the same situation. I wish I had gotten Austin. Particularly because I want Downing.

      With Sakho alone, I think he'll come good.

    2. Think Tank
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Not too much in it - I went Austin for pens and juicy home fixtures.

    3. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I prefer Sakho to be honest. West Ham quite attacking

    4. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Seems opinion split, think it will be close. On the plus side they're pretty much the same price so if Austin scores again next week and sakho blanks, it's an easy switch. I think sakho will come good though and I don't have downing so gives me west ham cover.

    Hello everyone!

    First post here. Apologies for my bad english, but at least I try. 🙂 This is my second season in FPL and this site has been very useful. Thank you!

    My current team:

    Krul, Elliott

    Baines, Clyne, Duff, Naylor, Bruce
    Sanchez, Di Maria, Fabregas, Sigurdsson, Marney
    Aguero, Pelle, Welbeck

    1FT, 0.0 ITB

    Considering:
    A) Welbeck, Di Maria --> Costa, Downing -4
    B) Pelle, Fabregas --> Costa, Downing -4 (next week Welbeck-->Austin maybe?)
    C) Save FT.

    Thank you for any advices!

    1. Ikey Warrior
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Similar situation to me. If Fabregas is fit, it's probably best to save the transfer this GW, and do B for free next GW.

      Otherwise, if you're questioning if Fabregas will be fit, and need an extra £0.2m to £0.4m in price rises, I would do B this GW. And you could then do Welbeck to Austin next GW for free (otherwise you'd have to wait an extra GW for that).

      1. Captain Haddock
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Just saw your post above, almost same. 🙂 That's a good point, if I am going to do B next GW for free, I still would not be able to transfer Welbeck out for free.. Just thinking that Pelle might get decent points this GW.

    2. Miracallas

      C

    3. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Save. Great team

      1. Captain Haddock
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Thank you. Maybe C is the best way. Just scared of watching Costa against WBA..

        1. Robben Mee Blind
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Don't think west brom's away record has been too bad so far though. I have Costa myself having said that!

          1. Captain Haddock
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Yes, let's hope that Costa will blank with YC. 😉

    4. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      save i think. captain haddock is a bizarre user name for someone with bad english 😯

      1. Captain Haddock
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Haha might be. But I am good at swearing.

    5. Captain Haddock
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If I am going to do B at next GW for free, I may have .1-.2 ITB and if I did those transfers right away, I would have .5 ITB but -4.

      So it's about .3 or .4 loss on TV or -4 points..

      1. Captain Haddock
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        And I would't be able to transfer Welbeck (wba) --> Austin (LEI) for free.

      2. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Sounds to me like you really want to do B and you're trying to convince yourself. Go with your gut!

        1. Captain Haddock
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I think i really would like to do B for fun, but on the other hand I think it's not the smartest move.. The smartest thing would be save. Last time I did transfer for fun, I bought Dzeko 🙁

              • 9 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              I am going to be boring. No transfers this GW. 🙂 Thank you for your answers. Going to sleep, good night!

          I mentioned this last page. It would be a ballsy move, but could pay dividends. There are so many good budget strikers around which makes him a harder sell, but I don't see why not with upcoming fixtures

    If Ched Evans signed for Liverpool and suddenly developed Luis Suarez's football ability whilst also being priced at £5m and nailed on....would you transfer him into your FPL team?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Of course.

    2. Felix_Da_House_Cat
      • 9 Years

      His ownership would probably be about 80-90%

      1. rickardinho
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        no player will ever reach over 65%.. there's too many dead teams

      I'd probably give up on fantasy football, re Yaya and Ramsey last year.

    5. dush64
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      That's a tough one, since it'll prevent me from getting Bojan in at that price range...

    Back to the movie thing from much earlier. Any top picks from this year and last that aren't too main stream? I loved The Kings of Summer and In A World.

        No I've heard it's brilliant. I also need to see Shame.

        1. John t penguin
          • 9 Years

          Worth watching
          Great acting, goes to some dark places

            Get out of my head. They are the two main films I haven't seen but want to watch.

                Never heard of it. Did you post a worst film earlier? It was quite fun.

                  Yeah the still crazy one
                  There are loads I hate, find there are more very year due to so many getting made since multiplex became popular, though maybe the fact everyone gets built up so much they never live up to hype

                  If you are ok with foreign films
                  Isn't a thriller or who dun it but well written and acted

      I always find myself recommending City of God to people and they never trust me, but it's a fantastic film if you don't mind subtitles.

      1. John t penguin
        • 9 Years

        Yeah city of men is watchable also

        Cheers but most top films from before 2013 I've seen. Top foreign film of the last 2 years has to be The Hunt.

  8. the axolotl

    9 years, 7 months ago

    have bertrand tadic and pelle and they've been great (imagine thinking you could have 3 southampton players at start of season). after villa match, they'll surely go downhill right? 1 has to go. who's it to be?

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Probably tadic. Bertrand is a brilliant defender to have, but no defence can keep a cs against man city and arsenal without insanely huge luck

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I've owned Tadic from the start and he's been a nightmare?

      One fantastic explosion of points but absolutely nothing else notable.. But you can't sell him as his stats are so good and that one match was the proof..

    3. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      probably will be tadic to be honest. had him for his haul but that was a lucky stroke really, don't expect that again obviously. bertrand will continue to do pretty well, even if clean sheets unlikely vs arsenal and city

  9. rozzo
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Do the people that have Hazard have faith that he will find his points returning form or are they a bit worried?

    3 goals and 2 assists in 11 games (i think, correct me if i am wrong) is not great. In fact its a bit poor considering his price.

    Do owners actually watch Chelsea games or are they just going on stats? I've seen quite a few games and he hasn't even looked like scoring. Constant shots straight at the keeper. If he didn't have penalties I would argue barely anyone would own him.

    Rate him as a player and I captained him for his hat trick last season so have fond memories of him. I started with Fabregas this season so maybe his consistency is making Hazard look worse than he actually is, i dunno, but anyone else a bit underwhelmed by him or are we waiting for that big explosion that hasn't happened yet?

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think Hazard is overrated personally

      1. rozzo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        In a strickly FPL sense he is vastly overrated

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years

          Agreed

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      400 odd points in the last 2 season? It's a matter of when not if with Hazard

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I agree. I love stats but if you look at the rational without the stats he looks like he will explode.

        'Constant shots straight at the keeper', he won't do this all season.

        And remember the stats that hazard is on 56, fabs on 63. Not much difference for someone who has struggled.

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Fabs is playing in the double pivot and Hazard is part of an attacking front 3 though, and Hazard was a million more expensive.

      2. rozzo
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I agree but i've personally waited 11 weeks for him to get going and I'm still waiting. Watch him score a hat trick against West Brom now

        1. Dr Dream
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          That's what happens with him.

      3. Ryan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        This season Chelsea have a proper striker though. In the past Hazard had to score the goals, not so now.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I've had him for over two years and absolutely know the pts will come..they always do

    4. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He had a poor start and looked rusty in the beginning of the season. Lately he has looked very good imo, unlucky not to scote more points. Has scored a few in CL though. I think he will start to deliver.

    5. John t penguin
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      For me it is owning him at correct times
      Obviously you can't say when that is, but watching I'm you can see periods when he will start to return. He didn't get all the points in the past without being good at bringing in points

    6. Ikey Warrior
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think Hazard will come right. He'll outscore Fabregas in the long run, because he's more explosive. Hazard, di Maria and Sanchez are the top 3 mids by quite a distance IMO.

    7. Think Tank
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He's roughly on a par with last year, points wise. From what I've seen, he's looking more dangerous in recent weeks.
      My fear is that his recent improvement has been in part due to Luis being more involved in the final third. The space that Haz is exploiting is being made by defenders having to commit to a potential Luis overlap. Azpil is a lot more conservative, so less space for Haz to get up to speed and attack the penalty area.

      1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Didn't seem to matter last season with Azpi behind him

    8. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      He looked very dangerous last week to me. He started very slowly but has ramped up lately, albeit with no hauls. I really think they are around the corner.

      As a non-owner I am looking to get him in before I miss out. If I'd owned him all season I would be getting itchy feet if it were not for the juicy fixtures

  10. Rupert The Horse

    2 FT £0.1m ITB

    Forster (Gilks)
    Baines Bertrand Wisdom (Naylor Moore)
    Sanchez Fabregas Sigurdsson Downing (Marney)
    Costa Pelle Aguero

    Where can I improve? Thinking either Forster to Krul, or Bertrand to Dummett to avoid double saints defence come GW13

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd lose Forster before I lose Bertrand.

      Bertie might still get you attacking points and your defence is quite cheap if you lose him for Dummett.

      1. Margarido
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        And Bertrand more likely for BPS also @AVL

    2. 50shades of o'shea
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I would keep one of them. your team looks solid! Keep Bertrand and get Forster out.

    3. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years

      Don't waste your time with unnecessary goalkeeper transfers

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        If he's just rolling over a 2nd free transfer though, why not save cash on Forster -> Krul?

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Because there is usually always something better you can do

        2. The Desi Messi
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          GK transfers have been a pain so far for me. Started with Begovic and just before his clean sheet against man city I sold him for Krul during Newcastle's bad spell!

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Heaton has been lovely and comfortable to own since I shipped Bego right before that very same clean sheet 😛

          2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Ooo that's an extreme case 🙁

            I just see goalie changes as something to be done in the WC period only. The upsides are just so small with GKs that's it's rarely worth the trouble.

            Saying all that i will probably be selling Bego before GW13 lol 😉

        3. The Desi Messi
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          If I was to sell Forster, who do you think will fair better over the coming weeks?

          Krul, Heaton or Adrian?

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Adrian or Heaton according to the season ticker but I don't know..

            I like owning Heaton as he'll get a load of save points even when Burnley get hammered and he tends to get 7-8 points per rare clean sheet.

            I'm never really a fan of Newcastle defence, and West Ham are unpredictable at the moment defensively.

    not doing it anytime soon, but if fabregas confirmed out (or even if he isn't to be honest), who would you prefer;
    a- ADM
    b- Hazard
    c - Oscar + a reasonable wodge of cash
    d - downing + a nice big wodge of cash
    e - walcott, on a whim

    2 FT and 2.3 ITB
    No idea where to go
    got a couple of options but can't settle on anything

    clyne, bertrand out
    A) coleman, azpi
    B) azpi, caulker

    B) leaves money for barkley > walcott

    C) bertrand, fabregas out for azpi, hazard

    D) something else?

    thoughts?

    1. Think Tank
      • 10 Years

      I like C as it upgrades Sot defender and removes 4cards Fab

      1. multiple.scoregasms
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Leaning towards C
        would i be better doing both for free this week or just one of them(probably fab to hazard) leaving 2 FT for next week

        1. Ikey Warrior
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          If you're doing C, you might as well do both transfers this week then. Azpilicueta should do better than Clyne this GW.

    2. Ikey Warrior
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I think I would leave money to upgrade Barkley.

      1. Ikey Warrior
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe Chambers in for Clyne? Don't know how much cash that leaves you?

        1. Ikey Warrior
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Not this GW btw. Clyne's fixture is better than Chambers in GW12, only in GW13.

        2. multiple.scoregasms
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Already have chambers

            Jeepers, you've got a lot in the bank.

            Nice team! Nice rank!

            Your team is almost perfect. I would just try bring in Sanchez. And by next GW have at most one of Bertrand and Clyne.

            Despite Hazard having the better fixtures, I think Sanchez will outscore him over the next 5 GW's. By the end of the season, Sanchez will be the top scoring mid by a distance - I would get him now.

      2. multiple.scoregasms
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        C) leaves me with 1 million in the bank (possibly 1.1 if i wait till after a clyne/bertrand double rise this week)

  20. Dr Dream
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    At it came up again a couple of pages back..WC ing for DGW's..or not, as the case may be.

    Most of us have long since blown our WC's by the time the DGW's come around...so...as a guesstimate...How many DGW players do non WC'ers end up with in their teams for the DGW's..I usually manage eight...and tbh if I had any more it would cause problems, or they would be iffy picks...Is that about a good guesstimate for the avg of our teams for non WC'ers ?

    1. An Púca
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      same as that...7 or 8. Too hard to unwind the position otherwise

    2. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      7-8 i guess. I've always blown my WC by then too but we usually know about the DGWs in good time and i find planning a few GWs in advance works fine

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Liverpool or Man U dgw would not be good as I now have none

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Doubt you're alone there. Just ADM for me

      2. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        So those who save the WC for those weeks will benefit by only three players..but end up with an iffy squad potentially...Not worth saving then.

        1. SuperDunny - Used to be goo…
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          I don't think it is worth saving either but each situation is unique. If you genuinely have a good team and are Top 10k early doors there might be no reason to use it.

    3. rickardinho
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Interested to know this as well. Currently sitting on my WC and not planning on using it before January unless I have a massive injury-crisis

    4. Think Tank
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      All depends on the quality of the games. last season I drafted in Bardsley for Sunderlands multiple DGW's and he scored 1 point in 6, if I remember correctly.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah they had a few didn't they.

      • Has Moderation Rights

      Yeah I would say so. I also agree with your point about too many DGWers causing problems down the track.

    6. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Same 7/8 with proper planning. As last year proved though. DGWers dont guarantee a good gameweek though

  21. rickardinho
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Who would you rather have (money no object, for draft league)?

    A) Moses

      Im not sure but it would be pretty easy for us to do it in the comment section. Just get people to post their combined scores for the month. Would be fun actually.

  23. peetsku

    IS there a point transferring out a player for 0.2 profit that you will be buying back later for higher price?

    1. Ikey Warrior
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Explain using your example? You confused me. haha

    2. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Depends on the player you're getting rid of and the player you're getting.

      I wouldn't look into price changes too much this season, they're not volatile enough and there are a shed load of budget options performing anyway.

      1. peetsku
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        well for an example if fab were to miss couple gameweeks would it be rational to sell him for half the price profit and later buying back for higher price as in if i bought him for 9.0 sold for 9.4 and bought for 9.8

        1. Irish Madridista ⭐
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah I think if your team is in good enough shape to use up 2 transfers as well, and if there's a replacement player that you think will earn points in the meantime, then go for it and don't worry about the lost value.

          I wouldn't automatically make the change if you only wanted to be rid of Cesc for a game or two though as it's using up 2 precious free transfers

          1. peetsku
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            In other words i will never sell fab because he's earning points consistently and his price rising doesn't affect me

  24. Ikey Warrior
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Why is tonight so slow? Sorry, I made a typo earlier.

    I plan on bringing in Costa & Downing for Pelle & Fabregas either this GW or the next one.
    It'll most probably save me 0.2-0.3 to make the transfers this GW.

    With Fabregas possibly fit for West Brom, I'm left with the following options for GW12:
    A) Downing (eve), Pelle (avl) (free)
    B) Downing (eve), Costa (WBA), (-4 points) (and I can upgrade my defence/Begovic for free a GW earlier)
    C) Fabregas*** (WBA), Pelle (avl), (free)

    ***1st sub: King vs Sunderland home if Fabregas doesn't play

    Downing could rise tonight, so I need to decide now. 🙂

    1. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      it's slow because there's not a lot to panic over, for most people.

      don't do any transfers now would be my advice. take the hit in your pocket

    1. Ikey Warrior

      • 12 Years

      Sell Fabregas. Get a mid for 4.5. I think your midfield will be strong enough.

      Does that leave you enough cash to upgrade Pelle to Aguero?

  27. Get up ya bum
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    this has me confused. Need to start one of vardy, mane or montero in a draft game, no auto subs.
    Mane is the better player but might be benched.
    Vardy has the best fixture but rarely scores (anyone seen him much lately?)
    Montero tore arsenal apart and should get space at city but has the toughest fixture on paper.

    1. Ikey Warrior
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd go for Mane out of them. And just hope he starts.

      mane all day long. villa in disarray. injuries to boot. even if he doesn't start, he's a better shout imo

    Considering a dull defensive transfer this week. Foster to Krul, or Moore/Hutton to Dummet. Current backline is
    Foster McCarthy
    Baines Bertrand Chambers Moore Hutton

    1FT. Worth bothering or shall I save? Would have to play Chambers vs Man U and Foster vs Chelsea (A) if I save

    1. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      save

    2. Ikey Warrior
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      If you're considering Foster to Krul, presumably because Foster plays (che, ARS) in the next 2 gameweeks, you're going to be in the same situation in GW15 and GW16 with Krul when he plays (CHE, ars).

      Would you consider upgrading McCarthy to Krul? If you can afford it, for £0.5m I feel it's worth it. I'm not a fan of the £4.0m non-playing keepers.

      1. Robben Mee Blind
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Good point about Krul- think I'll stick with Foster. Always the possibility of save points and possibly a pen save if Hazard takes again! Can't afford yo upgrade McCarthy sadly- only got 0.1 in bank. Might bring Dummett in though

    3. Robben Mee Blind
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Cheers for the advice guys. Think I need to go to bed though if I'm thinking about this kind of transfer a week ahead of the next fixtures!
