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

      Fairly similar to mine - think luis, mata and rooney are absolute keepers.
      Also have De Jong and Erikson but monitoring these 2 to see how they progress pre season.
      Why Siggy?
      If anything, I see you having to wc fairly early on if an expensive midfielder you don't have starts to rack up the points

          Cheers. Like a lot of people on here, I have very few musts at the moment so seeing how pre-season goes not that it the best way to predict who will get picked or not - yep, also guilty of having to wc pretty early one when I take one too many punts. So far, the only players who are absolutes are Rooney and Mata. Not sure who to pick between Luis and Cahill, definitely not sure about Arsenal, have doubts with Liverpool although Loven potentially very interesting. So many if's 🙂

    If you look at last years scores (for players still in the PL this season) only 3 players have scored over 200, all 3 beign midfielders (yaya, gerrard, haz)

    This makes me think a 3-5-2 may be more viable, please have a look at my team and rate:

    -------------- speroni / 4.0 ----------------

    Luis / B Davies / Chester / 4.0 / 4.0

    Mata , ericksen , haz, sanch , siggy

      I wouldn't like to be playing Chester every week and it's a bit risky going with 3 Tottenham. I think 3-4-3 is a formation where it's easier to adjust to new bandwagons etc too, but 3-5-2 is definitely an interesting strategy with the wealth of quality in midfield this year.

    Filipe Luis has 2 main traits as a LB:

    • Likes tackling
    • Likes to play short passes

    He is well known for being extremely good at both of these aspects, here is a tackle he made on Cesc Fabregas:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgYunsVLC7U

    What does this mean?

    Well, in terms of FPL every successful tackle he makes means he get 1 point in the BAP system. Usually, this would not mean much as defenders also lose points for an unsuccessful tackle or a foul. These are Luis' stats on that front:

    Tackles Per Game | 4.1
    Fouls Per Game | 1
    Clearances Per Game | 1.7

    Normally, defenders who cannot tackle would score negative points for conceding fouls, and this would harm their BAP scores. If we add up all of those stats, it works out at a total of 5.

    Additionally, the fact he plays short passes means he is more likely to have a completion of over 90% which means a further 9 BAPs.

    Of course, we don't know how BAPs will add up, but it looks to me that he is likely to get a handful more than the other Chelsea defenders. Provided they get a CS, it looks as if Luis will be amogst the points.

    This has been discussed hundreds of times and thought about countless times. But I would like a definite answer

    Rooney vs RVP

    Question - Is RVP really worth the extra 2.5m over Rooney ?

    With LVG in charge I expect the forward line to be one of the following

    -------Mata
    Rooney---RVP

    or

    Mata----Rooney
    ------RVP

    this could be a big factor in terms of who will get the goals pts. If RVP is played alone out front then he might just justify crippling the rest of my team for an extra 2.5m. Although Rooney would still get a large number of assists and about half of robin's goals too.

    'Captaincy + being dutch' factor

    LVG absolutly loved van persie at the world cup, his faith in him saw an amazing return in goalscoring form. Being that now LVG is at man utd and is likely to hand the armband to RVP, will this continue boosting his ego and help him achieve his best form yet ?

    Injuries

    Yeah RVP is quite often injured, I dont mind long term injuries ( from an FPL point of view since I'm a utd supporter), because then at least I can transfer him out for Rooney for 5/6 gameweeks, however getting injured for 1 or 2 weeks kind of f***s everything up since his price is never the same to buy him as it was when you sold him and will require some late nighters trying tp figure out how not shoot yourself in the head

      It looks as though MU will play 2 strikers (Rooney, RVP) with Mata behind them. There's also a chance RVP will be rested early, and VG has made noises to that effect. To me this points to having Rooney and Mata in your starting team, and waiting to see how things develop before considering RVP.
