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

            nah..he wasn't...only three or four games when he wasn't started but came on as sub...and about half a dozen in injured...including three or four at the end of the season...The myth comes because Martines chose the games when he looked like a good pick to us to do those three or four bench roles..

      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 don;t rate De Jong. His technique sucks, he has no pace, nog through ball, only good with his head. I've seen him for years in Ajax..

        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?

      I don't understand what the draw of Cresswell is. 5.5 for an unestablished West Ham defender seems bonkers to me.

        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?
