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.

      Nice team. Like the lamela punt. Would start siggy regardless of the fixture. wouldn't want remy long term but decent enough option to start with. Would also swap baines and shawcross

          If it's only going to be one man up top at 8.5, for me it has to be Giroud. Dzeko playing time is an issue for me, don't want to have your only front man not locked on.

            Pelle has always liked a big man up top, so with no Negredo he is pretty much a lock imo.
            Detest Giroud in every possible way and shan't be getting near my side. Rather roll the dice with backups

          Yeah I'll probably WC within the first 10 weeks so that won't be a problem for me. Rotating Ward and Caulker would be good but you'll be pinching yourself if you leave Caulker on the bench when he scores.

      Too many punts. Pick one of hererea, pelle or de Jong and shift to more known fpl performers with the other 2 remaining.

      Other than that looks pretty good.

      I like it. Much like mine in that having Rooney & Costa really does skew things.
      But, You really should downgrade one of Sigdursson or Puncheon to a 4.5 and upgrade the defence. Partly because the defence is thin, and partly because you have a benching dilemma. There are too many question marks in defence (Cameron, Figueroa, even Williamsom). Also, the Sunderland and Newcastle doubles are a bit questionable.

    hmm. If RVP becomes Rooney one of my 4.5 defenders could become a second Chelsea defender or any defender under 6.5. But Rooney ownership looks like it will be very high in week 1 looking at the RMTs. It must be better though. Think I will plan for this.

    I wouldn't mind getting some feedback before I call it a night.

    I am happy with most of what I have, but desperately trying to squeeze an arsenal player in; I have mata --> ramsey as a straight option, but would rather fund remy --> giroud! as I want to see how liverpool use him first.

    Any bright ideas on how I can make remy --> giroud happen? The best I have so far is eriksen --> siggy, remy --> giroud which would leave a spare 1M (perhaps for costa --> sturridge if he doesn't hit the ground running).

    begovic, 4M

        You'd be correct in that assumption. And a mighty fine cauliflower at that.

          Cauliflower cheese is nice. I don't recall eating a cauliflower in any other for. Maybe if you battered it would be nice/

      Is there still doubts that Traore might play as a left back? That might hinder him a bit. Your team looks like it could use an extra defender though 😆

        I'm rotating good solid home fixtures until Jan. Will lose Traore when a better 4.5 emerges.

      Clyne in open play, Fonte from set pieces. I'd expect more assists from Clyne and more goals from Fonte

    Hey all!
    Just signed up for another season and renewed the membership. Going to catch up on all the pre-season articles and tinker with my team.

    I'm hoping to get back into the DZ chats more often after having not had the time last season.

    Good luck to you all for the season ahead!

        Is it fair that he can just walk in and be the second most expensive midfielder in the game? I think Yaya is the only one more expensive.

      If he scores and assists in the first week I'll get him in. No sweats. Until then I'll stick with proven performers.
