The Numbers Game – 2015/16 Review – Watford

Up next in our series of members articles, which assess the statistics behind the 2015/16 season, is Watford.

We start off by looking at the Hornets’ team data in Quique Sanchez Flores’ solitary campaign at the helm and compare them to the rest of Premier League. After that, we analyse their first-team squad, main goal threats and creative sources in an attempt to gain insight on their prospects for the season ahead.

Tipped for the drop by many last time out, the Hornets were quick out the traps and racked up eight wins and five draws in the first 18 Gameweeks. Although Flores’ side failed to maintain momentum over the rest of the season and managed just four victories and as many draws in the final 20 matches, they were never in danger of relegation and ended in thirteenth spot, eight points clear of the bottom three.

      I'm taking a punt on Leko. Hope he cements a starting place

    Negredo vs Gray - Over the season and over the opening 5-6 gws?

    I keep switching but can't help but think even with the more difficult fixtures Gray is going to be this year's Vardy/Austin etc

    Hi Guys,
    First draft what do you guys think?

    Forster - Hennessey
    Bellerin - Alderweireld - Robertson - Van Aanholt - Wollscheld
    Willian - Mahrez - Zaha - Payet - Gudmundsson
    Aguero - Long - Wilson

    1. jmcclory123

      Forward line is pretty underwhelming.
      Not even sure who Gudmundson is, Zaha isn't great. Willian is hit and miss.
      Defence is ok, but really wouldn't be all that impressed! Sorry

    RMT Please...

    DeGea (Jaku)

    Walker Morgan Fernandez (Evans Paredes)

    Mahrez Alli Ayew Bolasie (Fletcher)

    Kun Ibra Gray

    Probably WC in week 4...No Arsenal given injuries/schedule/post Euro rest....likely switch out Mahrez for Ozil week 2...a little nervous about Leicester defense without Kante holding...back and forth Alli vs Eriksen?

    best 4.5 2 way defensive rotation? For the first 3 weeks or so

    1. LangerznMash
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I'm counting on rotating Friend + Evans.

    Ok here goes

    Butland,(hennessy)
    Targett,Bailly,Stones,Wollscheid,Mcauley
    Silva,Alli,(Kightly,Capoue,Barry)
    Kane,Aguero.Ibrahimovic

    What you think?

    Watford always has good budget options
