The Numbers Game – 2015/16 Review – Crystal Palace

Next up in our series of members’ articles reviewing the numbers behind the 2015/16 campaign we put Crystal Palace under analysis.

We start by assessing their team data, comparing the Eagles to the rest of the top-flight, before focusing on their first-team squad and assessing the main goal threats and creative sources, in an attempt to gain insight on their prospects for 2016/17.

Having started the campaign with five wins in their first eight fixtures, Alan Pardew’s side looked like improving upon their tenth-placed finish in 2014/15 but Palace struggled to maintain momentum and won only six more matches in the remaining 30 Gameweeks, ending up just five points clear of the bottom three.

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

    What's Palace's back 4 likely to be now that Tomkins has signed?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Wardinho @ 4.5m would be good.....

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Ward, Dann, Tomkins, Souare IMO

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Delaney got buttkicked.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          7 years, 11 months ago

          He'll be backup IMO

          Tomkins has gone there for 1st team football, so he'll either be rb or cb

          CB seems more likely IMO, Hangeland has left as well so Delaney goes to backup

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            I'd go Tomkins then. I like my players shiny.

    Posted this on FFS a few days earlier:

    For those who can't be bothered to click on the link, it's basically about me and Wakey coming up with the idea of creating a whatsapp group for the regulars on here for some general FPL talk and in-game chat on matchdays. Judging by the favorable response, I have decided to set the group up given the news that FPL is 'imminent'.

    All those interested can email me their cell numbers at 'bigmanbakar@gmail.com'.

    The group will have 25 participants.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐

      is there still space?

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

        Yes, I was only checking if people were interested earlier. This is the first time I've posted this as an invitation to those interested.

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years

      you already have him contact info .

        Yep, I've counted you in already. 🙂

    3. Play Pal
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      There was a similar system for regulars on a previous browser game I played but we communicated through Skype IM as no phone numbers need to be handed over and we could do the occasional free group call.

    4. Epic Fail

      You want to get the phone numbers of a large group of men off the internet?

    5. Prøphet
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I would suggest to use Telegram instead of whatsapp. Dont need to be bothered with phone numbers if people are keen to keep them and they can give you a Username by which you can find them. Also, think its way better than Whats App 🙂

      Just a suggestion

    A lot of pressure to be on Palace's shoulders from an FPL perspective with their fixtures

    Townsend is in for sure if 6.5 or lower, how people valued him 7.5 and even 8 earlier is laughable.

    Anyone gambling on their defence?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Yeah, a 4.5m one

      1. Tommytour
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Considering a 4.5 CPL SUN combo

        Be a perfect GK combo

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          I am not a lover of keeper rotations but

          WBA, MID, BOU, mid, STK, CRY. WBA,stk

          1. goriuanx
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Get the Boro keeper.

            Rotate 2 4.5m (Palace and Sunderland)

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Possible

              if Valdes is 5.0 I am not interested

              I think 2 from Shaw/Baines/Azpi plsu a nice 3 way maybe CPL/SUN/BOU

              but I like Mannone/Pickford as I think Boro keepers might be 9.0

          2. ★Kuntheman★
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Yeah that's an amazing rotation

        2. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Have you hacked into my computer.. 🙄

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Benteke or Townsend for sure

      maybe a defender or Mandanda depending on prices

    3. A.T
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'm gambling on him being sacked quite early. Got a feeling in my water

    4. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years

    How many Rmt's do you generally put out in a pre season?

    A) none
    B) 1 or 2
    C) One a week
    D) every day
    E) 5 a day
    F) other, please specify.

            Good stuff. I'm probably a B if I'm honest. I was terrible for it once upon a time.

            1. KingNidge
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Was talking to Cheese about it last night i don't get the concept i don't need anyone telling me who or who not to pick and it's not because i think i know better its just an RMT is posted and comment after comment underneath saying change this to this in other words make your team more like mine lol no thanks mate..

              1. A.T
                • 13 Years
                7 years, 11 months ago

                It's a contagious thing. People come on, see that's what people do so they do the same. Usually the team doesn't need any help as it's all template.

            • 13 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            There isn't much point in posting one. There are already millions posted and chances are one of those RMTs will look similar to mine anyway.

      2. Epic Fail
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This. And none during the season either.

        1. KingNidge
          • 8 Years

          Good lad

        2. A.T
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Yep, never seen you do one ever. Tremendous self control right there 🙂

      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Last year I put out just a few RMT's over one month, although this year it will highly depend on the transfers made by Guardiola, Klopp, Mourinho, Poch or Conte just before the first kick-off. I'm not willing to create a team early, as it will be subject to big changes due to transfers, anyway.

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      this year I intend on A

      going back to basics with FPL and relying on instinct

    @Sqwuaka: 10 of the 14 players involved in #POR’s #EURO2016 final win over #FRA came through the Sporting Lisbon academy.

    João Mário, Fonte, Nani, Ronaldo, Quaresma, Moutinho, Cédric, Rui Patrício, William Carvalho & Adrien Silva. Pretty impressive.

    Evening gents, not long now!!
    I know prices aren't out yet but I can safely say, unless they leave the league, that de gea, hazard, aguero, mane & eriksen are in my gw1 squad.... along with most other people on here no doubt.
    Any players I haven't mentioned your certain of starting with?

    1. Zizoulicious
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      I'd like to have Mnae, but their fixtures are pretty yuck to begin the season.

      And might share gametime with Lallana.

    2. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      KDB, Hazard and Aguero are definitely going in mine. I'll probably use the WC early and load up on Palace/WBA players to begin with too.

      A work colleague bet me £50 a good few seasons ago that he would beat me - I had been using this site and wiped the floor with him coming from behind.

      Since then it's given me competitive advantage in cash mini leagues. Though I look at the regular teams I compete with and those guys must lurk on here cuz their teams reek of template.

        Oh and sometimes when I feel extra narky I come on here and disagree with people just for the sake of it.

        Bit like therapy.

      love nothing more than talking about football and i have never come across anywhere better than here.. plenty of knowledgeable folk around here to debate with and that is pretty much all i do on here.. banter is cracking too.. from an FPL perspective i don't discuss that much but the articles are top quality and the ticker which i have just started using really is amazing

      1. ★Kuntheman★
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        This is incredibly true. One of the only places you can usually have an intellectual discussion about football.

          I'm not so sure.

          There are some I really value, there are others who think football is an extension of fifa ultimate team.

      first just to check injured players than to check set pieces taker and probable squads but at the end I found interesting people and now sometimes I dont even read some of articles here, just the posts. Plus I have very few people which I see not very often so I can post my (stupid) thoughts about football.

    9. JK - Cønt ⭐

      I know I'm awful but this site dragged me on immensely last season helped me win the cash league despite falling 80 odd points behind after GW 33 to eventually win by 35 points

  20. Zizoulicious
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 11 months ago

    Any lone else planning on hedging their bets and picking one player per team?

    Difficult to predict how teams will start the season, so another Chelsea-esque debacle could lead to disaster if you have two or three players from that particular team.

    1. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Pretty much what i do always Zizou. But not per team. Per attack/defence.

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Yah that was my first thought- one defender and one attacker max! Might try and do a squad with only one per team first and see how it shapes up

        • 10 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        Its the way to go LR, quickest way to get to the right treble up but also easy enough to de-escalate from the teams you wrongly backed at the start.

        1. Lateriser 12
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Any idea when Hoh is starting with his stuff?

          1. Mílanista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            Knocks and niggles doesn't start until the second international break but, if I remember correctly, he recruits preseason.

            • 10 Years
            7 years, 11 months ago

            He likes to do his after the transfer window has closed in an international break

            1. Lateriser 12
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              7 years, 11 months ago

              Fair.

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 11 months ago

      Two cheap goalies
      two expensive backs and three cheap backs
      expensive mid , 4.5 mid
      Expensive forward
      I usually build around this template .

      1. Zizoulicious
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        I was thinking similar, but maybe one expensive defender and a second one middle of the road if I'm needing funds. Baines plus Azpi possibly

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 11 months ago

        sounds about right though I am tempted by 3 5.5 play every week defenders to avoid those benched points

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 11 months ago

          Depends on prices . There could be a couple of decent 5.5 defenders especially if Conte goes three at the back .

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years

                    Aye was a serious question. Like I know with Youtube having lots of subscribers will earn you advertising money if it's monitised. Didn't know if Twitter had something similar.

                      Its also good if you're trying to get a job that has any line of marketing responsibilities as it shows you have practical experience of building a brand following.

    All prices aside, can someone identify the best 3 out of this bunch. I'll probably take 3 of them along with a premium mid and a bench warmer when season starts....

    B. Eriksen
    C. Siggy
    D. Tadic
    E. Mané
    F. Firmino

        boyd will be a bit too expensive for my taste. don't really want to go 15m, despite his undoubted quality
