We continue our series of members’ articles, which review the numbers behind the 2015/16 season, with a look at Southampton.

To get underway, we assess the Saints’ team statistics in Ronald Koeman’s final year in charge and compare them to the rest of Premier League, before analysing their first-team squad, main goal threats and creative sources in an attempt to gain insight on their prospects for the upcoming campaign.

The Saints finished in sixth position after embarking on a superb run of form that harvested seven wins and a draw in the final nine league fixtures.

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

        De Gea -Jakupovic
        Baines-Shaw-Friend-Parades-McAuley
        Hazard-Bolasie-KDB-Fletcher-Firminio
        Long-Aguero-Gray

        I've used 4.5 rotation keepers for the last 2 seasons and have always ended up picking the wrong one so I want to do away with the headache this time. Doubled up on United defence because the seem solid at the back and I see the raking up cleanies under Mourinho. Baines seems like a bargain at 5.5 and my back 5 rotates well for a decent price, hence McAuley (Pulis defence), Parades (cheapie who can play) and Friend who can pick up a few offensive points as well at 4.5. I have overlooked Chelsea and Spurs defence because I could only afford 2 good defenders and doubling up on United+Baines feels like it would be profitable.
        Hazard and KDB pick themselves. Yes, having them together eats up a huge chunk of my budget but I feel their consistency can make up for that. I'm hoping for a successful season for Hazard as he looked to be getting back to the beast he once was in the euros and towards the end of last season. I like to keep a 4.5 midfielder who can get me 2 points when others don't play. Firminio looks to be the most obvious route for Liverpool goals and a fit Sturridge can only help. His fixtures are difficult but that seemed to actually improve his performance last season. Bolasie looks like a solid choice in the 6m bracket - feel free to recommend others (thoughts on Redmond and Townsend?). Aguero is Aguero and I've noticed that flipping around bargain strikers can actually get you 15+ goals which is the same as a Lukaku or Costa. Gray seems to be the best bargain striker followed by Long.
        Notable omissions: Zlatan and Mkhi, I prefer to pick players after I've seen them play. I'm sceptical of the United attack as of now and I don't mind taking a hit to get Zlatan in if he is firing. Arsenal: Sanchez wont start the season and they have difficult fixtures

        Sorry for the long post but I prefer to have opinions on my thinking than a flat out RMT where you just tell me to pick who you people have taken.
        THANKS IN ADVANCE, I'M DONE NOW!!

      Just realized JRod is classified as a mid and only 6.5m, could be (that's obviously a big IF) one of the differentials of the season, if he can regain his form from a few years back...

                  • 12 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  I've got 6.5m for that position, so I've got Deulofeu as a placeholder.

          • 14 Years

          Looks a good value "trickle player". Can't see any better for 5.5m. Decent enabler, he's in mine.

          1. Nabs Kebabs
            • 14 Years

            1. Piggs Boson
              • 14 Years

              Not worried by Pugh, Stannis and Ibe?

                • 15 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Gradel + Ibe first choice.
                Pugh is definitely not competition 🙂
                Stannis might get a few minutes though.

          nah...

          4g, 7a from 2100 odd mins in the championship ain't too appealing. Can't see Hull doing very well either

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years

            I still expect Saints to buy more players with Europa coming up too..

        7. Pochettino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Feghouli is a very good player for 5.5mill. I think he was one of the players to suffer in an under-performing Valencia side. Much like Fab/Hazard at Chelsea last year.

          1. Irish Madridista ⭐
            • 15 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Yep, him and/or Tore will find their way into my team at some point, probably when Lanzini is back.

          2. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            He also suffered a lot from his unwillingness to sign a new contract. Was fighting with the club all season.

            He is a bit of a Bojan though. Nobody can doubt his talent, but he has never been really efficient, never hit the double digits either in assists or goals.

            1. Camp No No
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              I mean, he's joy to watch on his good day, but he has yet to have a single really good _season_.

          Like the Terry pick, bargain at 5.5. Bit light in midfield, so downgrade Ibra. Frontline is way too expensive. But if you think the mids are good value fair enough.

          Struggling to make a decent team with both Kun and Zlatan. I have the same backline except Foster for Cech. Not sure if I'm a fan of your midfield, I've managed to get Hazard, Firmino and Siggy at the expensive of two £4.5m mids...

        5. Ziegler1988
          • 11 Years

          Aguero to 4.5m should do it

        1. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years

          Tricky to predict that team's midfield with a new manager, does he start in place of Navas? (maybe Pelligrini was his only fan lol)

            • 13 Years

            Pep will play a new formation though.

          Nolito is probably one of the worst wingers I've ever seen.

          Also, with Kun at 13m, money could be invested in a non-ManC player, that could be captain material

          Smalling and Shaw only nailed options.

          Other 2 slots are up for grabs

        2. Cradders
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I'd say Smalling and Shaw is about it. Bailly probably unless you believe that Smalling and Jones will be the CB pairing I read someone say that Jose said it

        3. Ayew Serious
          • 10 Years

          Smalling

        4. HamezMace
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I would say - Darmian - Smalling - Bailley - Shaw, and DDG obviously.

                They score goals regardless... Just avoid their defence.

                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  They would score more goals if they had better fixtures though..which imo would only then make the double up viable.

                  Trust me, i ain't touching that defence.

            1. Nabs Kebabs
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Where to start...is generally a more talented/quality player, saves you a mil, showed hot form end of last season upon returning from injury while Wilson was poor. Sure, Wilson was great at the start of the season but maybe he will take a while to get back to his best.

          No offence but I think that looks awful for just GW1 and for the future if you weren't to wildcard

            • 10 Years

            1. Cradders
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              I missed the AOA part but I'm still not keen. Bolasie even at home to West Brom I'm not a fan of. Gomis - I actually fancy Burnley's chances of survival this year. Not seen much of Adomah but Stoke are pretty known for being decent defensively at home. Taylor, again I feel Swansea will concede at the very least.

              It's just my opinion. Also what if you end up with 5 players out for one game and need to wildcard you'll have used it already.

                Well, loads WC'ed GW2 last year and it worked out ok, and you get to catch all of the price rises in the biggest week transfer-wise of the season, and it is the only opportunity all season to go for a team purely for one GW - just seems like it could be fun 🙂

            Did u know that since 2010 the top 4 assisters in the PL are:

            Silva
            Rooney
            Mata
            Brunt

            Im not joking.

              Quite believable. Brunt is top quality.

              Just needs everything to fall in place for him.

                  Yep with the ticker Fuchsed and ICT Index now available on the FPL website itself, we may as well ditch membership next year 😛

          And you can't drag teams up and down the list 🙂 I really don't like the new ticker.

            ^this. was just asking about this on the next page. Those arrows to move the teams are so frustrating!

        Hey, is it still somehow possible to drag and drop teams on the season ticker, like it used to be? Those up and down arrows are incredibly clumsy. I already lost my nerve with them.

        1. TwiggsJameson
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          No, it is a major downgrade IMO. Being able to drag and drop was the most useful feature of the ticker.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Yeah, probably the one I used the most too. It made it easy to plan the rotations. I can't take the pain of doing it with these arrows they now use. You can't even serial click on them, because the arrow changes place after every click.

            It got on my nerves so badly that now I'm already set to wait for someone to come up with a useful spreadsheet on rotations pairs/triples, rather than to try to look for rotations myself.

          Unfortunately not. It's lost much of it's functionality. I liked the little preview when you click the fixtures but that's gone too.

          But we can sort by rotation... which is nice.

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            It's sort of nice, but I found it quite insufficient. I like to tweak the rotations myself and that's just too painful with the current tools.

          if he doesn't play lb where does he play?

          apparently w brom are in for a lb and have made a few bids so likely start of the seasoson brunt won't be lb. Could he play in midfield?

            OOP alert.

            Probably doesn't matter where he plays. Wherever he plays, the ball will find him.

        3. MrMaverick
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          he's on my watchlist, but pursuing more nailed on cheaper defensive options. don't like the 5.0 price tag, evans/mcauley instead for me for WBA coverage

      19. Piggs Boson

        Chris Brunt has 45 assists in the Premier League. That's more than Ozil and Mata.

        1. MrMaverick
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          will he play in midfield though?

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            During the attacking phase he will be.

            But West Brom mainly rely on set pieces for goals, with that Golden Left Foot.

      20. Piggs Boson

        In all seriousness, why doesn't Brunt have a Ballon D'or yet? FIFA are so corrupt...

          WBA defence priced very nicely. Foster, McAuley, Brunt.. 🙂

            I personally think the Pulis is a bit over-rated on here tbh

            11 CS last season

            1. Davido989
              • 15 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              Wasn't last season his worst return on defensive stats?

                No idea

                I do have Foster atm 😆

                But I have £££ over so if come the day before GW1 deadline I still do I may go for Cech/Courtois/Hart as I'm a 1 keeper every week sort of guy

          Can't believe he's flying under the radar here.

          Playing for one of the best defences in the league.
          Better conversion rate than most top players (including Ronaldo)
          On most setpieces for his team.
          Best left foot in the league.

          All packaged into a 5 mil defender named Christopher Brunt.

          Bargain of the season?

          1. Camp No No
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Playing for a defence that only had 11 CS last season
            Scored 0 goals last season
            Not the first direct free kick taker
            Not on penalties
            Best left foot in your arse
            Turns 32 this year and has suffered cruciate ligament rupture in February, never quite coming back from that

            Sounds like you're enthusiastically trying to get him in everybody else's team. 😉

            😆 @ "one of the best advanced midfielders in the world''

            I've seen every minute of Firmino in a Liverpool shirt and most of the time he's invisible... I wouldn't say he was our best player last season, he was overhyped. Last season he was playing upfront and there's no guarantees of that this season. With Liverpool seemingly in the market for another 10 I'm not sure where he'll fit assuming Studge gets the lone striker role. Mane on the right, Coutinho on the left and Firmino/Lallana/Wijnaldum down the centre? or perhaps Wijnaldum on the left and Coutinho centrally...
