The Numbers Game – 2015/16 Review – Crystal Palace

Next up in our series of members’ articles reviewing the numbers behind the 2015/16 campaign we put Crystal Palace under analysis.

We start by assessing their team data, comparing the Eagles to the rest of the top-flight, before focusing on their first-team squad and assessing the main goal threats and creative sources, in an attempt to gain insight on their prospects for 2016/17.

Having started the campaign with five wins in their first eight fixtures, Alan Pardew’s side looked like improving upon their tenth-placed finish in 2014/15 but Palace struggled to maintain momentum and won only six more matches in the remaining 30 Gameweeks, ending up just five points clear of the bottom three.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Im sure mods here know at least the day when its going to open..so with all the confusion that that Rogers guy made with his imminent post,its no accident that they are making those price prediction hot topics..separatly forwards from mids...it wont open today

    1. JJO
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I just hope it wont be guess the defenders price tommorow 😉

    2. JJO

      And top of the page without counting means its true 😉

        If it were true, they'd bury you at the bottom of the page to silence you! 😆

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 8 Years

          or "they" know that would mean that "they" know so "they" didn't do that 😉

          Watch and see the new comments start to appear above his post. 😉

        3. JJO

          You cant bury the truth 🙂

      Lol.

    4. AK ⭐
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      You're wrong there. The Mods know as much about the opening as us.

    5. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I hand on heart guarantee you that we don't know when it's opening 🙂

      1. Camp No No
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Maybe Mark isn't telling you everything. 😉

        1. GreenWindmill

          • 12 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Oh yes, the owl will have delivered the message to his ivory tower weeks ago regarding opening date/time prices and rule changes - he's probably got his RMT already prepped 😉

      2. JJO
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I didnt say all of you know 😉
        If idea of making these guess prices topics didnt came from Andy and someone higher in the rank suggested it to him then all this makes sense 😉

    6. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      I'm not sure about it 😉
      But even if that would mean that the site would be open today or tomorrow (no sense to make those price gues topics 2-3 or more days before opening)

      1. A.T
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        It's just supposed to be a bit of fun.

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          of course but w're lookin for conspiracy theory 🙂
          I think that 2-3 more days and some of us will start to have mental problems 🙂

          1. JJO
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Im just kidding ofcourse
            Dont give a f about that ID
            Prices would be enough for me,just to start that thinkering process

            1. Lone Wolf FPL
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              I know , I'm foolin around, it is fun 🙂

    7. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Dare say Mark may get a heads up but the rest would be on the same boat as us

      1. KingNidge
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        And that's Sutherns not Rogers lol

      They might not know but I think the all wait for it to open as much as the next person - from memory both Mark and Granville were within the first 1000 people to register.

      7 years, 10 months ago

      I love the conspiracy theories 🙂

      I have no clue when the game is opening and none of the other mods including Jonty or Mark knew I was putting these hot topics up until they appeared.

      The ONLY reason the midfielders and forwards were split is because it would take up too much space on each post / the page to have both together, that's about it really.

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Sounds plausible.... Hmmmm

      2. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        The moderators start to explain themselves! - Conspiracy! 🙂 🙂

        Hmmm okay I believe you 😉

      The Inner circle of FFS will def know the release date as FFS has been an integral part of FPL for the last 2 seasons. I bet you any money that there is an article sitting there ready to be published with what is new in FPL. The lesser mods will either not be privileged to this information or have been told to say nothing or else they will be kicked out on their butt

      1. KingNidge
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I reckon you could be bang on with this assessment lol

            • 10 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Seen Andy's post just above, Syd must be implying that Andy, too, is a "lesser mod". 😉

              And that's the last anyone saw of Syd 😥

          7 years, 10 months ago

          I don't mean that in a bad as the work you all do is brilliant but there is a hierarchy in every organisation and given FFS is a business that will be no different.

        😆 lesser mods 😆

        I'd love to see the org chart of FFS 😛

          We played for hours! I couldn't move my fingers properly after that. 😛

              Were you there when during the game, Cheese announced FPL is Open and everyone stopped and he went on to score a free goal? I couldn't stop laughing even though I was in the team that conceded. 😆

              1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
                • 13 Years

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        I'll give you a clue......Mark Rogers is not your man....it's Martin Axford, he has all the answers 😉

  6. The Wise Owl

    I'm confused, how do we know who are moderators without the symbol by their name? :O

    1. The Kolarov Mane ⚔
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Those are undercover operatives...

    2. Camp No No
      • 10 Years

      Don't we know them by that? And they're all wearing them, right?

  7. The Kolarov Mane ⚔

      So the Cedric gate last season, it was just Mark trolling?

  8. Moin

    • 10 Years

    1hr 5mins left, if it will open today, even though I think it will open tomorrow at 11:00 am BST

    1. Jøssy ⭐
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Why do you say this? In terms of there being a cut-off by which they won't open today.

  9. Zigfreed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Come on FPL, I'm going into an all day meeting in 30 minutes, get released already!

    1. Camp No No
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      No chance. Won't open today, so don't worry: go to the meeting and have fun.

  10. The Mighty I
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Defenders from Everton and Palace to start the season potentially promising.
    Two fixtures against WBA, home to BOU then two against MID in the first five.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      One of Baines/Coleman will go straight into my team if they are priced less than 6.0

      Won't happen I know 🙁

  11. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Be interesting to see what price Long gets, ended the season a bit like Vardy 2 seasons ago, a sure starter since Mane and Pelle are now gone. Could be a great 3rd striker option

  12. AK ⭐
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Do we have a crowd for Haxball while we wait for FPL right now? 🙂

    1. Irish Madridista ⭐
