Team Analysis – Assessing Ramsey’s QPR

After taking time out to assess Tim Sherwood’s impact at Villa Park, we analyse the performances of QPR under Chris Ramsey as both clubs prepare for a double Gameweek 31. In terms of results, the new man in charge has been unable to arrest his side’s decline – aside from a win at fellow strugglers Sunderland, the R’s have lost six of seven fixtures since the departure of Harry Redknapp.

Although they’ve failed to score in just one of those encounters, the Loftus Road outfit have notched more than a single goal in only one match since Ramsey was installed – that victory over the Black Cats. In terms of defensive prospects, QPR have one clean sheet (yet again courtesy of the Sunderland match) and have conceded at least twice in each of the last five matches of Ramsey’s tenure.

With trips to West Brom and Villa on the horizon, then, we delve into the data to see whether the underlying numbers can afford a little more optimism.

    Which needs to be done first?

    A) Sanchez > Siggy/Mane
    B) Koscielny > Alderweireld

    Whichever isn't done this week will be done next week with Austin > Costa.

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      B

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      B first

    3. Demelbrush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      A and then Kos > Ivan?

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Nope. Getting Costa.

    4. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Would Kos have to play this week?

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Him or Clyne.

        1. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Well CLyne is probably a better option than Toby so making B a nothing transfer really. So question becomes would you rather have Mane?Siggy or Sanchez this week?

          1. davies
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            B releases funds, but will be better next week, I think. Think I'll ditch Sanchez, but he's a big differential in my ML. Hard decisions.

            Siggy, I think. Not sold on Mane now he's back in midfield.

            1. BeachBadger
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              Im having the same dilemma. Luckily my plan is to ditch GW33 so I have sometime to think about it

    5. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      A for me here

  2. kalmoffit
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    Aarons return if it happens could be a big factor in the Tyne/Wear derby.

  3. Demelbrush
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    I don't plan to own costa until gw33. crazy?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Thats my plan too. Not crazy at all he may be banned/injured before then

    2. Zasa
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Nope, if you have Giroud, easily could stash him until after the Burnley match.
      If it's Austin you're switching him for, I would definitely sell Gw32

    3. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Not crazy. Extremely unwise perhaps.

    4. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      It's only 2 weeks away and he injury doubt at the moment so not really that crazy

    5. Demelbrush
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      I have giroud aguero kane so I'd be keeping Giroud until after Burnley then taking a hit to get Costa.

    6. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Same plan, injury doubt and yellow cards. Seems wise to me. Giroud to him for 33

    7. andy85wsm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years

    In the Team News section Toure is out, but also in the predicted lineup.

    I'm feeling better and better about Mr. Tekkers. 😎

      1. Not Irish

        9 years, 29 days ago

        Might as well eh. Would take a proper haul from Kane or Haz to make us regret it.

        Of course - what I'm here for 😀 Yeah I mean you know my stance on half of that, but I think it looks okay.

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 14 Years

          Thanks. As you saw my situation is abit 'meh'

      G'day, Walsh. What's new?

      1. Walsh
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Was back in NYC for a wedding and took a couple days off work to make it an extended bender because why not! Looking forward to games this weekend, mate. And the UEFA game of course 🙂

        1. davies
          • 9 Years

          Sounds great. Yep, can't wait. Been way too long. 🙂

            Good luck in your bottom bracket in the game mate 🙂

              • 9 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              Was that a reference to my rank, Leicester or UAE? 😀 😥

              1. BeachBadger
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 29 days ago

                😆 UAE are definitely not bottom bracket 😉

                1. Walsh

                  • 10 Years
                  9 years, 29 days ago

                  You're right. I meant losers bracket 😉

                  1. BeachBadger
                    • 10 Years
                    9 years, 29 days ago

        Hey bud. Been behaving on here through the dullness of international break weekend? 😀

        1. Not Irish
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Staying away for the most part. 😀

          1. Walsh
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            Usually the best plan of action when there is such a long layoff.

            1. Not Irish
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              Yeah logged on today to more carnage.

              International breaks. 😆

  8. Billy Bonney
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    Currently I have Aguero, Kane, Giroud. Is it worth ditching one of them for Benteke or Austin?

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Same front line and holding. Giroud to Costa for 33

    2. Not Irish
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Most will disagree but Kun>Tekkers for me.

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Do you have Tekkers Muppet?

        1. Not Irish
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Yip

          1. Joggers Nipple
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            Fair enough. If i had Austin or him i would of course keep. Dont know about getting them in though.

            More importantly- Have you shifted Walcott yet?

            1. Not Irish
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              This week I think, for Mata.

              1. Joggers Nipple
                • 14 Years
                9 years, 29 days ago

                good man

    3. Go Loons
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      I don't think it is. All three have the potential to outscore Benteke or Austin even with one less game.

    4. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      I'd hold steady with that lot.

  9. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    What would you do with this lot?

    Jakupovic - Pantilimon
    van Aanholt - Alderweireld - Wollscheid - Clyne - Dawson
    Hazard - Sánchez - Silva - Boyd - Eriksen
    Austin - Agüero - Kane

    2 FT, £1.6m in the bank.

    Cheers in advance.

    1. davies
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Jakupovic > Myhill and roll the other FT.
      Wolly > Naughton and roll the other FT.

      Both good options. I assume you're getting Costa for Austin?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        If I can afford Costa, probably. WC in GW34 might be his week also.

    2. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Probably just Alexis out and float the other. Not sure which mid to get though..

    3. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Sell Wollscheid or Alexis.

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Wollo to Naughton prob.

    5. TorresMagic™

    4. Sylvester the Investor
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Need to fix that defence. Terry good, Clyne is playing everton away and you may not even have a third defender? Wolly vs Chelsea away perhaps?

      Bellerin to Naughton

  11. davies
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    A) Mane
    B) Siggy

    Which and why?

    1. Walsh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Siggy for me. Lost faith in Southampton's attack and have a feeling Siggy will come on strong with their nice fixture run. Free kicks and pens (I think?) doesn't hurt either.

      1. davies
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Is that based on just an assumption or does his stats back that up? I'm all for a Siggy differential bandwagon.

        1. Walsh
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

    Should I get Myhill or Davis in? Already got Dawson but banned this gw 🙁

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Haven't checked their fixtures out but be aware WBA have a terrible last 4/5 games. If you're comfortable playing Panti in those games then get Myhill, if not get Davis.

      1. tokara
        • 9 Years

      Not a saints fan but very nailed I would say

      1. Mataatti
        • 9 Years

        Cheers.. fan or not 🙂

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      I went for Myhil, not sold on 38 yrs old goalie

    3. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      I'm sure there are some.

      Quite nailed on. I'd personally go with Myhill, though.

  19. kiwi_pool
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    Myhill
    Terry Naughton Berty
    Haz Sanchez Silva Eriksen
    Kane Austin Aguero

    Foster Boyd Bellerin Dawson

    2FT, 1.9ITB

    Way to improve? Sanchez out? Otherwise I'll waste and xfer to get Foster out.

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Foster out for Davis and you're done this GW.

      Both Wbrom and Saints will play Lei and QPR so thats like 4 CS's potentially.

      1. Nico.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        How would you rotate Davis/Myhill over the next 3? 🙂

    2. Kevin Twine
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Near Identical team to mine. Views on Aguero -> Costa?

      1. Kevin Twine
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Or Aguero -> Benteke for 1 week

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Wouldn't do either

          1. Kevin Twine
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            Surprised you'd prefer to do a sub goalie transfer than bring in a double gameweek player...

            1. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              looking at long term solution there, i dont expect more than 5 pts from Guzan, hence Myhill could even outscore him in my view

            2. La Roja
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              my sub goalie is Jakupovic btw 😆

      2. King Henrik

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Yeah, that's probably a risk too far isn't it. Although his form is crap

  20. Saniul

    I didn't advertise my team here at all, but I just saw that my scout picks team is just a couple of votes away from being at the top.

    Questions for the Scoutcast team

    We have our regular Live Scoutcast taking place tonight, with a special guest lined up to join us.

    Feel free to leave your questions here.

    In particular if any Sky players have specific questions about that game leave them here.

    Be great to get some questions about the impending double Gameweek as well.

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      So D1sable is the special guest? 😉

      Regardless of whether you own them or not, who do you think is the best captaincy option this week? A DGW striker like Austin or Benteke, or is Kane's form too hard to ignore?

      1. J0E
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Great question - probably the key one ahead of an on paper fairly dire DGWK.

        1. CarelessGenius©
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          If HK plays well v ITA then he's got to be (c) really.

    2. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Shift Sanchez or hold?
      Was all set on shifting but uninspired by the other options ( guess alot like me have Silva, Haz, Erik already).
      Planned to move him to Siggy to fund Costa later but recon he might end up staying

    3. Kuqi Monster
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      DGW - if you own Austin should he be an automatic choice for the armband? or are owners being blinded by the DGW?

      QPR not great away, west brom are solid at home and villa looking a lot better under sherwood. In my personal case, both ML rivals have giroud aguero kane and can't see them bringing Austin in so could be great differential if he scores well having put faith in him with the armband.

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        I think a lot of people are being blinded by the DGW. Austin seems the most popular choice on here, but ever since the start of the week I've had the armband on Kane.

        Could go either way though

      2. denial
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        I think Austin's a poor choice for the armband. Hazard for me.

        1. Nickofoz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Hazard's home form has been pretty average, unlike earlier in the season. As weird as it sounds I'm more confident captaining him away rather than at home

      3. Gizzachance
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        im doing austin over kane,need to take chance now an then !if kane blanks then everyone will be wishing they done austin,as even if he blanks in both games will still get double the points,plus kane has just played for england, yes tot have burnley away,but they beat city at home last game,,missed out on kanes hatrick last game,sods law if i cap him,he,ll blank !

    4. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Who is the better cheap keeper option Davis or Myhill? (Double Soton / WBA defence)

      1. Nickofoz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Davis imo

    5. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Since he usually has a decent question read out at some point do you wish Andy85WSM had a name which was simpler to read out on the Scoutcast every week?

      Great news - he's changed it! It's now Andy85SJK 42!

    6. Spencer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Along the same lines as what's been asked already, but Jonty alluded to it specifically in a previous Hot Topic (I think), saying that he'd always captain a DGW player.

      Is that still the case this week?

    7. HVT
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      How do you rate the sky game V Fpl game?
      I defiantly prefer the Fpl game but I also like the sky rules with as many players from any team, the 40 transfers V 2 Wc/1ft a week(68ft?) . Plus I like the fact that prices remain locked in tho I must admit I find the sky game requires more 'maintenance' for example I think the (c) changes can be tricky to navigate and needs reviewing and the gw aren't as well laid out as Fpl.
      Tho the prize money is excellent, Fpl could take a leaf out Sky's book on this!
      Any other opinions?

    8. Ryan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years

      Are you guys still afraid of Giroud as non owners?

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Not in the slightest. Liverpool, Burnley, Blank, Chelsea.

        I am confident that each one of my 3 strikers will outscore Giroud over the next 4 GWs. After that I will wildcard and he'll possibly come in then.

        1. Ryan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          I'm thinking more short term. Say the next 2GWs

    9. elkunaguero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Is it really worth using transfers for DGW31 players, or should they be saved to prepare for the real DGW, DGW34?

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        The "real" DGW will probably be 37. Arsenal-Sunderland and most likely Liverpool-Hull.

      2. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        The latter imo, can't see the appeal of DGW 31

    10. GreenWindmill
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Is Mata a genuine option again?

      He looks like he may have nailed down a place in a position that suits him (in the short term at least) and his form is good. His goal conversion rate looks unsustainable but maybe he's 'doing a Yaya'.

      Sanchez -> Mata is tempting...

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        If I had Sanchez in my team, I would get of him for Mata without doubt.

      2. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Hmm.

        2013/14 - Yaya
        2014/15 - Mata
        2015/16 - Zaha to start popping in every sniff of a chance that comes his way?

      3. Gizzachance
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        he is,but with city chel an ars to play,not as appealing now

    11. Doolittle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      How many records will Sri Lanka set en route to the title? 😉

      1. BeachBadger
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Many. Earliest exit. Lowest combined score... so many options 😉

        1. Doolittle
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Haha I was careful to include "en route to the title" to stop those jibes - it clearly didn't work!

          1. BeachBadger
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            Oh ye are on the route. Youre just getting off at the first stop 😉

            1. Doolittle
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              😀

    12. The_Colonel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      From an FPL perspective, would playing in the U21 championships help or hinder the likes of Kane/Barkley/Stones next season?

    13. BeachBadger
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Have the early Wildcarders won? What options are there for people looking to capitalise on them

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        I think the early wildcarders have won on balance, even more so if Blackburn knock Liverpool out of the FA Cup next week.. However there is still benefit in having a wildcard.

        A) You can prepare your team well for GW33 without worrying about Arsenal and Liverpool players. At the moment I have zero Arsenal and zero Liverpool which I'm very happy about. As a result I'll have a very strong GW33 team with no expensive players on the bench.

        B) Related to this you can concentrate in GW 31, 32 and 33 on maximising points rather than on DGW preparation.

        C) If you wildcard in GW34 (my plan) you can set up well for the rest of the season and to maximise DGW benefits in GW34 and GW37. The likely Liverpool-Hull DGW will be scheduled by then. You can also have the flexibility of selecting exactly the players you want at that time (allowing for injuries, form and so on). I expect to replace 9 players in my squad when I wildcard.

        I think it is still possible to get a good jump from a wildcard but perhaps not as good a one as I had hoped. The DGWs have been kind to players without wildcards, especially if Liverpool-Hull is rescheduled in GW37 as I expect.

        1. BeachBadger
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Cheers for the reply mate. Just to clarify things though I'd like to point out that I dont have a WC left. These are questions for the scoutcast and I thought it would be interesting to hear their response on this topic.

          I agree with your points though. It certainly would be handy to have one but I think I can set myself up relatively well without one.

          1. Ruth_NZ
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            Ah. Oops!

            1. BeachBadger
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              No worries mate. Your reply was appreciated regardless.

    14. Christian Fox der zorn gott…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Aguero -> Rooney? It's a short question.

    15. The_Colonel
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Who might benefit from the recent international break? Could QPR use the break to turn their season around? Will it scupper Man Utds recent good form?

    16. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Sinclair , Phillips , N' Zogbia , Taarabt 😉 . Who is the best cheap option or is it better to avoid altogether ?

    17. Fiona B
      • 9 Years

      If you had Villa defence, would you even play them this week?

        if sherwood had the guts to play bacuna twice....but he wont ..so he wont be in my squad

  25. CarelessGenius©
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    Start Krul or Ospina?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Ospina

    2. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Ospins

  26. S.Kuqi
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    Sanchez -> Mane or save FT? Planning to bring Costa in for Austin next week.

    Pants(Myhill)
    Terry-Clyne-Rose (Pva,Kos)
    Haza-Eriksen-Sanchez-Silva (Cork
    A-K-A

    1. Gloria Kanchelskis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      I'd hold for one more week and do both transfers next week.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Cheers mate.

  27. La Roja
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 29 days ago

    Ok so this is me this GW then:

    Myhill
    JT Clyne Naughton
    Mane Hazard Silva Eriksen
    Kun Gru Kane

    Jakupovic Sameobi Wolly Cawson*

    0 FT & 6.1m ITB 😯

    No DGW'ers, not worried about it though

    1. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      What was your trannie this week? Foster -> Myhill or something?

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Forster ➡ Myhill

    2. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Have the same front 7 except ozil over gru.....solid defence

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Innit bruv

      2. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Ozil over Gru?

        Same front 5 then 😆

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 29 days ago

      Why'd you go Myhill in the end? I'm still swaying from Davis to him and back.

      1. La Roja
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 29 days ago

        Reasons:

        a) Not convinced with 38 years old keeper, couple of errors in a game, Saints loses and I can see Gazzaniga lurking straight away.

        b) Myhil'sl next 3-4 fixtures are really tasty. Plus, he has looked awesome vs City, expecting plenty of save points even if he concedes goals.

        c) Pulis will just shut the shop as from now on, particularly when playing top 4-6 teams towards the end of the season. I can see CS's there.

        d) Saints got nothing to lose as from now on and will have to win all remaining games, hence they will have to play attacking football which naturally creates more possibilities to concede goal(s).

        e) Have Clyne

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          A is a fair point.

          B not sure about, seemed more like a freak performance tbh.

          C probably true but even if u went Myhill I'd be playing Krul in those games. Not sure if I feel comfortable with playing Krul for another 4 games this season (only 2 if I go Davis).

          D I have Dawson and Fonte so makes no difference.

          Myhill just seems better short term and that's the appeal for me but if I look long term where Krul has to get involved then I sway towards Davis. Probably only a few points in it til the end of the season but it's bugging me!

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            It's a tight call I agree. I went for Myhill and good luck on your choice mate 🙂

            1. Beavis
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years

              Thanks mate, you too.

        2. Ruth_NZ
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 29 days ago

          Pulis' Crystal Palace, last 8 games 2013-14. They were in a similar position to where WBA are now.

          Crystal Palace 1 – 0 Chelsea
          Cardiff City 0 – 3 Crystal Palace
          Crystal Palace 1 – 0 Aston Villa
          Everton 2 – 3 Crystal Palace
          West Ham 0 – 1 Crystal Palace
          Crystal Palace 0 – 2 Manchester City
          Crystal Palace 3 – 3 Liverpool
          Fulham 2 – 2 Crystal Palace

          4 clean sheets from 8 games. But they did concede a few to City and Liverpool.

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 29 days ago

            Myhill had 5 vs City though

              • 9 Years
              9 years, 29 days ago

              Not arguing either way. Just offering some research.

          On Point (D), i totally agree

          Last game Wanyama was benched, they are going all out to get goals but will definitely closed shop after leading 1, which explains Wanyama was brought on later to keep it tight

            It was a home game against Burnley though.

              they were so lucky not to concede vs Palace and Burnley. I watched both games.

                agreed. Soton has been solid with Wanya + Snjerdin

                remove either one, u gets leaky

        agree, the return of Nolan spoilts Downing's appeal
