With the season now in full swing, we begin to adjust our sights when it comes to the statistical analysis available to our Members. We’re set to focus on specific players and teams a good deal more from now on.

Today’s article is a case in point – all eyes were on Mikel Arteta at the Emirates this weekend and Fantasy managers will have been keen to assess how he settled amongst his new team-mates and, indeed, how he fared when it comes to the key performance statistics.

We delve into his ICT Index figures then, drilling down into the Opta data to investigate how Arteta at Arsenal compared to his typical Everton displays of last season, and assess his potential from this point.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    On Arteta, it will be interesting to see who plays further forward when Jack Wilshere returns. Arteta might well get pushed up into Fabregas' old role (which Ramsey sort of has at the moment), with Song/Frimpong sitting deeper alongside Wilshere in CM...

        I reckon he could get a fair amount of gametime actually. CFC don't really have another central creatively-minded midfielder - Essien(injured), Mikel and Ramires tend to sit deeper, and Lamps is more of a box-to-box finisher than creator. Mata & Torres & co. will benefit from Meireles' touch and spark so for the majority of upcoming games he should get gametime (apart from possibly the big clashes with MU etc when AVB might favour two defensive CMs). He's massively on my watchlist from gw6...

    Mata - Meireles so I can upgrade Dzeko - Aguero, or not? I'm a big Meireles fan think that could be clouding my judgement a little, but I expect him to rack up a nice amount this year.
