1. Robin Van Persie (Manchester United) - 47.1% Of Teams Selected
The game's most expensive and popular player had a 2-goal start to his 2013/14 campaign, and is certain to continue to attract strong interest from Fantasy Managers. With a goal rate of 2 every 3 games, and an average of nearly 7 points a game, nearly half of teams have considered the Dutchman worth the outlay. He hasn't shown any sign of losing his form which has made him the top player of the last 2 seasons, and he's still an essential buy for most teams. The price has driven some people off buying the prolific Dutchman, but if he keeps knocking in the goal like we know he can, he'll once again become essential property. Whether you'll get a better return by using the money on Soldado and Aguero, and rotating captains to suit the day, is another question entirely. Price: £14m 2012/13 Points: 262 2012/13 Points per Match: 6.89 Points-Per-Pound: 18.71 points per £1m 2012/13 League Appearances: 38 matches (100%) 2012/13 Minutes played: 3123 (82.2 minutes per game) (91.3% of minutes played) 2012/13 Goals: 26 2012/13 Goals Per Game: 0.68
