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

            Fair enough, I know sanchez might be a bit risky but I enjoyed watching him at the WC, and want to take a little gamble, can always downgrade/swap if it doesn't pan out, but hard to get if he hits the road running.

        1 goal and 1 assist over 6 games that Holland scored 12 goals in isn't good for FPL. Obviously, using Holland in the World Cup to assess Utd in the premier league has its flaws.

          Bear in mind that Mata when played in his favoured postion, as LvG seems be doing, is great for FPL

            Mata is one of my favourite players in FPL and in the league. This is a slightly different role to before as there will be 2 strikers ahead of him. I'm wondering if this could lead to many 'assisting the assist' scenarios, e.g. Mata plays it through to Rooney who passes to RVP who scores.

                As soon as the fixtures came out and a rough idea of a team started to form in my mind Mata was one of the first names in it. Now I'm not sure.

      Sturridge if you can afford him.

      would say cameron is a risk as not guaranteed a start (huth imo) and then lamela keep seeing how ponch utilises and always potential for a bony transfer
