The Numbers Game – 2014/15 Review – Advocaat’s Sunderland

Our next members article assessing the previous season takes a look at Sunderland’s campaign, with most of the focus on the impact of new manager, Dick Advocaat.

Following a 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa in March, the Dutchman replaced Gus Poyet at the helm, with his side sitting 17th in the league, just a single point clear of the relegation places. Advocaat guided the Black Cats to a 16th-place finish, after picking up three wins and three draws from their final nine matches, with their survival clinched in Gameweek 37 after a goalless draw at the Emirates. After initially turning down an offer to stay on at the Stadium of Light, the Dutchman signed a one-year deal to remain in the North East.

        Would not be sure on Bellerin tbh, Debuchy will probably play if 100%... AFC Right back this season might be tough in FPL, think it will be some rotation.

        Kosc and Mert 100% nailed though, Wenger havn't split them up even on pre-season almost. Have played Gabriel and Chambers together and Mertescielny together.

        My best guess for the start is

        40 / 60% on Bellerin / Debuchy
        100% Kocs
        100% Mert
        70 / 30 Monreal / Gibbs

        /Gunner who have seen ALL matchers and friendlies for the last couple of years

      Would take Özil before cazorla.

      Cazorla is getting pushed abit lower in the field, and Özil is getting more offensive freedom judging from pre-season. I don't see it as impossible as Cazorla playing deep laying playmaker when Coq is injured. Caz will definitely play deeper than usual beside Coq against tougher oppositions with less freedom to roam.

      Caz and Özil might take about the same amout of freekicks, but Caz more penalties, with Özil on corners and lofted freekicks in to the penalty area

      Not bad, but too much on GK imo - You can find good rotation for 9 or if you want to play only one GK than downgrade Boruc to 4.0

      I wouldn't take Clyne for 5,5 - Sakho is cheaper if you want LIV. Defence alltogether is quite expensive 26,5 mln. too much for me.

      Attacking football in this case is misleading - its a byword for possession football.

      They have a fairly small ground, and spent most of the season pinning the opposition back in their own half- their clean sheets had more to do with that than their particular defensive qualities.

      And actually, this approach still leads to clean sheets in the top flight. Swansea and Southampton since they came up in recent years are the example to follow, and we all know that they have been two of the most reliable sides around for clean sheets - possession football leads to shutting out poor opposition, but can also mean cricket scores against the big teams, because being forced to do all the defending comes as quite a shock.

      I think they'll get the odd thumping (which in a way is good for us, guiding captaincy choices), but their early home games suggest a decent chance of clean sheets to me.

    Kane is a premium category forward priced as a mid category player, yet no one wants him. Mindset seems to be that he is an expensive version of Benteke . Yet. Spurs have the better fixtures and Kane has more explosive potential. Question is why is there no love for Kane?

        I know. Its a lottery in GW1 so these are the 4 to 6 GW view. Yes Tadic could outscore Mane, Milner over Rooney etc in GW1 but its a view. Chadli is in about a dozen of my drafts as his stats are good so long as Poch plays him which he should. One to ponder.
