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.

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

          What sort of draft league are you in mate? I'm in a 10-man. Would be interesting to swap any ideas with you.
          Ps aim higher for a 2nd mid than these 2. I'm hoping to get Lamela as my 5th!

          1. Huddersfield
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            13 teams , no premium mids left :/

            1. Lovren an elevator
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Are you drafting as we speak?
              I think I'd go for Lamela!
              Who have you got so far?
              Are you using the fpl website?

              1. Huddersfield
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 9 months ago

                1st Round 10th Pick
                Mahrez , Nolito & Austin so far

                1. Lovren an elevator
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 9 months ago

                  Not great tbh.
                  Maybe take a premium defender or gk if there's good ones left. Get ahead in that department. If not, go striker next

                  1. Huddersfield
                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 9 months ago

                    Only Bellerin & DDG gone in that departement .
                    It can wait tbh but mids ........

                    1. Lovren an elevator
                      • 8 Years
                      7 years, 9 months ago

                      Take Lamela.
                      Then if you need to think of others...
                      Townsend, Tadic, redmond, Deulofeu, if they're still available.
                      I'd get a couple of premium defenders while you still can...
                      Smalling, koscielny, alderweireld, baines, Azpi

                      1. Huddersfield
                        • 8 Years
                        7 years, 9 months ago

                        I took Lamela . Toby next

                        • 8 Years

                        Good choices

              2. Huddersfield
                • 8 Years

                yes i'm drafting now

    1. bennyp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Neither if possible.

      1. Huddersfield
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        No premium mids left !

        1. bennyp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Ohhh this is a draft league.

          What about Capoue, Feghouli, Fabregas, Arnie?

          1. Huddersfield
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Arnie gone , I don't trust Feghouli !
            Willian vs Lamela vs Fab

            1. bennyp
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              I'd take Fab outa that bunch. I also think Feghouli could be a bargain

  2. andy_h1993
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Bottomed

    Schmeichel
    Baines shaw Taylor
    Hazard Siggy bolasie mahrez
    Long kun lukaku
    (Juko Parades evans fischer)

    1. Super Frank
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Good team, I would downgrade Fischer and do Bolasie > Townsend and upgrade Paredes

  3. stachman
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Howdy folks
    Care to take a look at my team and leave me some comments?
    Cech, Jakupovic
    Coleman, Shaw, Friend, Evans, Wilson
    Kevin deBruyne, Fabregas, Ozil, Ibe, Fletcher
    Aguero, Lukaku, Negredo
    Cheers

    1. andy_h1993
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Ozil not a certain starter for gw1

      1. stachman
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        If thats the case, ill switch him to Mkhitaryan...

    2. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Ozil won't play.

    3. Huddersfield
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Fabregas ? What is behind this pick ?

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Probably his cheapness in ratio to potential

      2. andy_h1993
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Agreed would rather have Siggy products ayew for the 1st 2 gws

        1. andy_h1993
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Siggy or ayew don't know where products came from

      3. Huddersfield
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I just can't decide and i need some help
        Fab vs Willian vs Lamela

        1. andy_h1993
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Put of them lamela is the best chance but it's a gamble with alli and erikson imo better picks Willian is not a great fantasy fpl prospect and I think cuadrado could play ahead of him and I think fabregas will be to deep to score many points in fantasy football

          1. Huddersfield
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            it's in fact a draft league pick , at this stage these 3 + townsend , bolasie & redmond left .
            I am tempted by Lamela 2

      4. stachman
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Low price mostly. A bit of a punt, but im not 100% on this one... Who would i recommend for 7,5 instead?

    My dog's team is going to rock it this year:

    Foster;
    Evans, Férnandez, N.Taylor;
    de Bruyne, Hazard, Ayew, Fischer;
    Agüero, Rooney, Vardy.

    Squeaky Toys; Treats, Walkies, Shoes.

  5. Alonso's Ball

    What does everyone think? No Man U cover in B has me leaning towards A

    a) Costa & Mkhi
    b) Haz & Luk

    1. Super Frank
      • 10 Years

      B 😀

    @Cheese or anyone else looking at Mkhi/Martial

    1. Cheeseoid
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Hmm. Interesting

      Of course the otehr factor is nailedon ness.

      Who might be eating in to the gametime for these 2?

      1. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I think both are pretty much nailed but Mkhitaryan's versatility in all 3 attacking positions helps.

      2. Ayew Serious
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Depay and Lingard slring

        1. Ayew Serious
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          "Slring" just appeared there

          And Mata maybe

    2. Jazz!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Well I get what you're saying but it's very hard to compare like that. It's almost a coin toss. I'm personally going Mkhi.

    3. Jay Jay Okocha
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      A lot depends on when Martial joins up with the squad

  7. Fantasy Football Friend!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Is Janssen nailed on? Asking for a draft league.

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      No

      Terry

      1. Jazz!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        If early WC

  10. Jazz!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Williams and Dawson are the 2 premium picks from their defences. Thing is, I can only have one of them. Taylor + Dawson or Williams + McAuley/Evans?

    1. Rum Ham
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      BAPs vs. goals really, so Williams is the safer pick.

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I'd go Wiilams + McCauley

    3. Ayew Serious
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Williams without a doubt

    4. Jazz!

      I got the same silent treatment when I tried to bring him up. Not in any RMTs either. Maybe everyone is saving him as their secret weapon?

      Looking at Stoke attack around GW5 or so, not sold on his GW2-4 run.

  12. Jay_
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Foster Jakupovic
      VVD *** *** Fernandez Kone
      Hazard Mahrez *** Mirrallas Capoue
      Aguero *** Gray

      A: Souare Friend Townsend Ibrahimovic

      B: Dann Gabriel Ayew Rooney

      Or, forgetting the options, is Ibrahimovic worth 2.5 more than Rooney?

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I think he definitely is early doors

          Is Mkhi more potent than Ibra?

          I am having a headache choosing one of them.

          What can Ibra bring that Mkhi can't?

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            I imagine Ibra is quite potent.

                Ibra might score more than 15 goals. Mkhi won't

                1. John Barnes
                  • 7 Years
                  7 years, 9 months ago

                  yes... thats probable and worth the risk of him being an eric cantona hehe

            my TV and rank skyrocketed last season when I did the very same thing..think since nothing has changed in the chips and WC system, I might as well again

              Dead right

                7 years, 9 months ago

                yeah obviously I try to limit any comparisons to previous seasons, but I think it's best to capitalize on the vast majority of managers in the world still being interested and active

                1. Ayew Serious
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 9 months ago

                  The price change system is actually adjusted with proportion to active players.

                    • 10 Years
                    7 years, 9 months ago

                    Really, are you sure? Where did you read that? How do they determine what an active player is?

                    I thought it was always based simply on thresholds related to individual ownership.

                      What Ayew says here is correct (in the last few seasons at least).

            Defo going for that, it's nice just planning for 3 weeks. Can load up on Arsenal, Spurs, West Ham on the WC as long as all the bargains, nailed on cheap defenders and the form big hitters.

              not to mention within the first 3-4 I imagine the vast, vast majority of the managers that have signed up are still active

        3. Jay_
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Say Benteke ends up at Palace. Would you rather;

            A: Townsend and a 6.5 forward (Austin/Long/Rondon/Gray/Carroll/Berahino)

            B: Benteke and a 5.5 mid (Gradel/Fischer/Ibe/Feghouli)

            Gotta feeling this will be a very common question should Benteke end up there.

            Has Matt Phillips come in to replace Jon Leko in WBA's XI? Or can we see them playing on separate wings perhaps? Would a Berahino move give Leko a greater chance of starting?

              Defense too expensive imo. With City's fixtures I would suggest having one player from it, maybe in place of Spurs

              Looks very solid honestly I'd say maybe a little too much tied up in defense (maybe upgrade Andros and downgrade defense) and i'd rather De Gea or Courtois than Hart
              Wouldn't get Paredes as he wont start from day 1 and likely his price will drop due to the huge amount of ownership he has

            3. Just A Hat
              • 14 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              Don't spend the cash on Hart, wouldn't bother starting with Liverpool either

              I like it a lot. I'd get Foster instead of Hart.

              And then you can spend the money in the midfield or attack.

              No problem starting with a 4.0 fodder but try to make sure it's not someone with high ownership like Paredes.

              I can never figure out how Aguero delivers value for money. But seems like I'm in the minority on that one.

                It's the captaincy, if the game didn't have the captains then he wouldn't be worth 13 million.

                The majority of the time, you can safely place the captaincy on him and he will reward you with at least a goal and a lot of the times, double digits. Not to mention the 17+ points he brings in every so often in one game, where if you don't have him, a whole month of gameweeks goes out the window

            I'd really really appreciate any and all advice on how to improve upon this team:

            Foster (Jakupovic)
            Gabriel Evans Pieters (McAuley Kingsley)
            Hazard Mkhitaryan Eriksen Gradel (Hojbjerg)

              Ibra/Mkhit/Hazard are all expensive risky bets.

                Cheers for the thoughts
                I know they definitely are but I'm really looking for a quick start out of all three as I think they'll all want to strut their stuff
                I personally am also big on wanting to trade down for cheaper players rather than have to do the reverse

            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 months ago

            Would appreciate any thoughts on my first draft team. Mainly based on form at the end of last season and fixtures.

            Smeichel, Mannone
            Fuchs, Fonte, Bellerin, Van Aanholt, Williams
            Eriksen, Sigurdsson, Drinkwater, Firmino, Antonio
            Kane, Long, Defoe

            1.5 ITB for flexibility.

            1. Nice to Finally Michu
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 9 months ago

              I'd be wary of Drinkwater, not sure he'll be able to get consistent points or playing time and also a bit afraid to back Leicester defense so heavily so early when we arent sure if theyll come out even close to the same team they were
              I really like the Spurs love (yes, Kane too) and if I had the cash i'd get Bellerin too but I worry your attack is far too weak: Defoe is not the player he once was and it'll be hard for you to upgrade if you want a big hitter even with the 1.5 itb (which i'd recommend just spending now
              Antonio may play wing back so monitor that i'd say

              1. genesolv

                7 years, 9 months ago

                Thanks. Drinkwater scored really well at the end of last season. Not the best but very strong for 5.5. And every time I run the numbers those defenders just deliver better value for money than the mids and forwards.

            No love for Silva in many RMTs. People just choosing KDB over him or not seeing value in him? Or both?

              It's a mistake to overlook him.

              His career 5.7 PP90min is spectacular!

              And, unless we're willing to Capt KDB over Aguero, Silva's PPM (Points Per Million) will most likely top KDB's.

            A) 5.0 defender, 7.5 midfielder, Ibra
            B) 5.5 defender, 9.5 midfielder, Lukaku

            Have Kun, KDB, Hazard with a budget defense (looking at a YOLO attack out of the gates)

            1. Nice to Finally Michu
              • 10 Years

              I have close to A and in your case I'd do Gabriel/Funes Mori and Barkley/Tadic

              Without United cover in B, I would say Mkhi/Martial has to be your 9.5 mid. 5.5 in the same scenario would be between Sagna (if you think he is nailed),Shaw (if you don't already have him) and Terry (if you plan to WC early)
