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.

    I have £0.5 to spend, how should I spend it?

    Ozil -> Fabregas
    Mane -> Depay/Mata (or other £8.5m)
    Coates -> Cedric
    Hennessey -> Butland

    Schmeichel, Hennessey;
    Azpilicueta, Koscielny, Coates, S. Taylor, M. Turner;
    Hazard, Walcott, Ozil, Mane, Mutch;
    Rooney, Lukaku, Sakho.

    Also I'm not really sure on my choice of £4.0m and £4.5m players but I'm quite happy with the others; just a few tweaks needed I feel!

    I made RMT few times but my last draft is enourmous 326,46 . I usually have something like 313 - 315.

    Does anybody have bigger?

      UFPL is pretty time consuming if you want to play it correctly. You'll need to be monitoring your squad and line ups on every match day. The deadline for the whole match day is generally half an hour before the first game of the day and it re opens for changes an hour after the last game of the day. I personally think it's the most enjoyable game and would definitely help you learn everything you need to know about the English game but it takes a fair bit of your weekend up!

        I would disagree on the simple basis that I spend hours every week planning my FPL team, future transfers etc.
        UFPL doesn't have that, once you have your squad picked, it's pick your 18, changes when you log in after the Saturday game & final tweak if needed on the Sunday based on line up news.
        Maybe that's just me. 🙂

      They need a CB, without question, and it is a problem that they must solve.

      A back up striker would be nice, but is not as big an issue. Most important for them this window was a CDM/DM, a CB and a RB, 2 of which they've bought so far.

              Defense looks solid.

              Mids are great but I'd rather douple up on the Arsenal mids than our mids. GW4 is the time to load up on city I think.

                I have gut feeling about Mitar, but it seems I will have to start with 5.5 or 6.0 striker if I want to keep Sterling and get Aguero.

            Lukaku blanks for weeks on end before he does anything, and you can be sure the week he does something is the week you sold him

              Do you remember his loan spell at West Brom? That was great, in terms of regularity of goals and not "blanking for weeks". Could still be that kind of option again

                Maybe

                I remember him costing Evs FPL with that GW38 hattie

                I;d have to see more from Everton as well. They were at the bottom end of the league for chances created for most of last season :Lukaku isn't the sort of striker that needs 1-2 chances to score.

                    It's possible of course but I'd still want to see more evidence that Everton are creating chances before buying him, especially with that run from GW2-11

                    I watched them at times last season and they were literally just not passing to him

                    Delefeou, Mirallas, Barkley.

      If I had to pick, Lukaku. Just don't see Benteke firing away very quickly.

    Good people, I need your opinion

    A) Fabregas + Silva

    B) Hazard + (any midfielder up to 9.5)

      B for me. Haz is more explosive.

      Way secondarily, having that fat roster spot taken by Haz Gives you roster flex to easily move Haz to Sanchez if you are ever inclined.

    OK, thoughts on this team please? Some may say the defence is a kamikaze squadron but I'm rather fond of it actually. It's made up of seven different teams so surely there's got to be a clean sheet or two somewhere along the line?? 😀

    Ruddy/Butland

    Francis/Prodl/Huth/Ward/Coates

    Silva/Hazard/Chadli/Payet/Wanyama

    Rooney/Benteke/Wilson

    3.5 in the bank to facilitate the Silva/Rooney > Sanchez/Aguero swap around GW3.

    Yeah?

      It does seem the promoted teams have "can dealt with" fixtures to begin with!! It may work well for ya. Replace Ward if you can, Pardew's CP looked to focused on scoring !!
