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.

    What is your definition of 'crazy form'? Thinking about one of the hardest decisions of the game for me, when best to bring in a player who is showing potential. Especially at the start of the season when trying to recognise this year's Mahrez or Kane or Michu as opposed to a flash in the pan. A goal in two games in a row, is that enough to ping a transfer in. 3 games? What is it for you?

              Ooooo, didn't take long for the controversial C word to raise it's head 😆

              Personally, it's hard to quantify. The eye test counts for a bit. You could see Mahrez, for example, playing on MOTD and just think, "yeah, he does look the real deal".

              Early on in the season, I'm often happier to jump on the bandwagon for no other reason than I know everyone else will, and for fear of missing the early price-rises and getting on early (often because I may not be able to afford them otherwise without surgery) I take the punt. If his form doesn't continue, at least I've made a few quid and move on.

              This is probably THE biggest part of FPL. When do you jump onboard and when do you jump ship.... Always a gamble.

      There needs to be something to back up the recent goal(s).

      For example, Mahrez and Vardy looked to be very good prospects in 2014/15 but Pearson played neither of them regularly. Mahrez had also been very good in pre-season. Once it became clear that they were 1st choice players for Ranieri they became great value picks.

      Another example is underlying stats - shots on target, chances created and so on. You can often get a read from those whether a player's performances over a game or two are a flash in the pan or something more likely to sustain.

      A third example is the player who has just arrived in the PL from abroad. Payet had a great record at Marseille but that doesn't always transfer to PL success (Cabella). Once he showed himself to be suited to the PL then he became great value at 7.5m. But he could equally well have done a Depay.

      A little high IMO but I always look at the points gained over 3 matches in terms of who I took out. Injury and selection an a player not usually consigned to my bench influences hit choices. Then again I am impulsive and wasted a few tfrs by looking at DGW's or my mini league position.

    Hi all, good luck with the new season etc... 🙂

    Just been looking at the season ticker, can we no longer drag teams around to different positions? I realise that you can click on 'teams' and then use the arrows, but this is a much slower process and inferior to what the functionality was like in previous years. Or am I missing something?

      Don't like it at all either.

      Why you would change something from a simple drag system to making you click 60 times moving the cursor a little bit each time I have no idea just to put 5 teams in the order you want. Then having to do it another 60 times to try something different makes no sense to me. It may be optimised to mobile fine but we have a separate mobile site so surely the main site could still have the drag system and everyone could be happy.

    As my 1st year as a member I maybe asking the wrong questions.
    One of my essential decision making processes as others I am sure is to determine home/away fixtures as a difficulty factor.
    I believe, if memory serves me right, the ratio of home/away points compared to other seasons dropped considerably and I believe the trend will continue with more sides choosing the counter attack tactic to generate points.
    I think the sides to watch this term will be Everton, Soton, Swansea, Hammers and Palace who will use this policy to good effect so this is where I will be looking for mid and low priced players. The promoted sides will have to be considered in terms of budget.
    The reason for this post is does anyone have access to the league stats for away points gained over the last few years? I will be putting less emphasis on home fixtures and more on general defensive qualities to capture differential points. I got in the top 1k last year purely by defensive picks. I could have done far better if captain picks were not so awful.

      Everton look a good shout this year under Koeman esp their defenders.

      Whammers and Palace look like they will go well.

      SWN and STH could be anything but I fancy they might struggle.

      I'll be interested to see how STK shape up with the view to using Butland as my gk.

      Of the new teams, Middlesborough look good for defenders when at home. Have a great season! 🙂

        Two teams Sunderland and Swansea , have both been significantly better at home. They would be perfect for a rotation involving home matches (if they rotate, not checked yet)
        While other teams show far less difference between home and away conceded goals, indicating best just to play them in any reasonable fixture home and away. Palace being an example

          This. One factor I await is early Swans form. New managers usually look to improve the deficiencies of the past season so I expect a more sound defense from the swans even if their overall position does not improve.

              Good point as was Palace. More money around for all teams but prices will go up accordingly. I think the pulling power of Koeman will have good effect together with an Everton squad that was great on paper but failed dismally under Martinez. All Everton fans will wax lyrical about the depth of the youngsters coming through.

      If you are looking at defenders, the main thing is that the long-term average is 3 home clean sheets to 2 away clean sheets.

      Over the last 3 seasons the ratio has been creeping closer but only by a little.

      As TL says, there is divergence with different teams in any one season. But even that tends to even itself out over a longer timespan.

      Statistically a home clean sheet is at least 40% more likely than an away one before taking fixture difficulty into account.

        This is exactly what I was getting at as in the original post. The first 12 GW's of the season showed a massive trend towards less home wins if my memory serves me correctly. What you are saying is there was little difference by the season's end. I would be interested in an algorithm to show home benefits over away. Being an Everton supporter maybe having an impact because their home form was abysmal.

          Last season was freakish in that regard. But the ratio regularised gradually (though not completely).

          Bear in mind that my post concerned clean sheets, not wins.

          You don't need an algorithm. Just count the clean sheets. That's what I do. 🙂

    Apart from the new look site and apps what is the biggest change you expect to FPL this season?

    I kind of expect them to introduce a mid GW sub/captain change, which I wouldn't like. My theory is the fact they are introducing free phone apps. This would help people with this change.

      The number of players being active for longer increased last season due to the chips so maybe they'll add one or two more? I wouldn't be surprised if they changed the second WC back to January only though as I don't think they anticipated the advantage serious players would have by combining it with DGW and other chips.

      Some good points. The changes I would really like to see are ones I know won't happen. I do have a problem with the current bonus point distribution. I don't think things already rewarded (goals, assist etc.) should be included in the bonus scoring. Plus I don't think bonus points should be limited to 3 players per game (as standard). I'd prefer a bonus point system more like the Sky game.

    How far do you normally look ahead on the fixture ticker?
    I generally try to stay within 3-5 GW's but is that too small or big of a window?

      The problem is there are too many good picks this time, making the Liverpool options far less appealing than they should be. I may try and shoehorn Milner in at a reasonable price, think he'll be consistent (as I did last year) with all the attacking options around him
