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.

    I'm very disappointed the All-Out-Attack wasn't changed or removed.

      All my tinkering keeps coming down to this; What do you prefer? * (assuming Valencia goes Swansea)

      Mandanda Mannone
      Shaw Baines McAuley Friend 4.0
      Hazard *** *** *** 4.5
      Aguero *** ***

        I like both A & B for different reasons.

        ...but if I had to go with one it would be A

        Aguero and KDB is too much City I guess.
        I'd look and Mkhi/Erkisen instead of KDB and try upgrading Long from the money.

          Gradel isn't?? He played well last season.

      Why no love for Kane? he was devastating in the second half of last season. Are people assuming he's going to have a slow start again?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years

        No rest in 2 seasons. CL. Dembele missing.

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

          that does not apply to kun? no rest in 2 season (2 consecutive copa americas) and what's worse is the CL playoffs city have got coming. write him off at your peril

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

            Kun started off very slow last season.

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

              you'll still have him though? how does that not also apply to last season's top scorer?

      So West Brom have scored 10 penalties over the last 2 seasons....

      That's not including the 2 Berahino missed vs Gomes.

      Brunt could be bigger than Baines ever was.

      1. BB-8

        Brunt is on Pens?

        Would possibly downgrade Siggy in order to upgrade the defence

        1. Deece
          • 13 Years

          5th mid is Fletcher or whichever 4.5m mid is the flavour of choice week before deadline

      2. European Bob
        • 13 Years

        Terry rotation risk? No ibra? 6/10

        1. Deece
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Can swap terry and foster for courtois and McCauley closer to start if it looks like Zouma returning or they sign another CB. Have a feeling Conte sees Terry as his Chiellini though. Think he'll be nailed in the prem.

        • 10 Years

        U can't have Mickey mouse, hazard and kdb on one team, lose one at least and invest in ur defence

        1. Deece
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          I can and I will! I have two premium defenders. Ideally Andre Gray becomes Enner Valencia if / when he moves Swansea and that gives me a cool 1m to boost the defence

      1. *sigh*
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I'd drop a big hitter in defence and upgrade a midfielder

      2. I Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Too much money on the back imo, and Ighalo has awful fixtures. Otherwise it looks quite solid.

      3. UnitedFan
        • 10 Years

        Defence too expensive imo.

      Hi guys, what do you think?

      Azpi - Shaw - Fernandez - Cathcart - Francis
      KDB - Hazard - Mkhi - Tadic - Fletcher
      Aguero - Wilson - Diomande

      Who is Diomande? Is he good?

      Would you say V.Valdes will be number one for Boro next season ?

      2.
      Best midfielder 7.0 and under?

      1. Les Majesteux
        • 11 Years

        1. Yes
        2. Townsend maybe

        Plenty of good mids at 7.5

      Now we hope Hull don't buy a keeper so that Jakupovic can be a 4.0 starter

        they almost certainly will

        1. Tiamani Warrior
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          will they buy a new first choice or a back up for jaku though?

    • Les Majesteux
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      De Gea - Jakupovic

      Friend - FMori - Evans - Cresswell - Parades

      Siggy - Hazard - Mkhitayran - KDB - Adomah

      Long - Ibra - Rhodes

      Thoughts? Thank you 🙂

        Needs more Brunt and less Evans

        1. Les Majesteux
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Why? :s

        2. *sigh*
          • 14 Years

          Brunt injured also?

        Adomah injured?

          Not that I know. Does not say so.

          No money for him yet. First draft

    • The Royal Robin
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A) Lukaku, Siggy and McAuley
      or
      B) Wilson, Alli and Cresswell (or other 6m DEF)

      1. Mavric Marco
        • 13 Years

        B

      RMT please

      Friend. McCauley. Fernandez
      KDB. Mickyryan. Martial. Tadic
      Aguero. Lukaku. Long

      Subs. Jako, fletcher, parades, lenihan

      I know the defence is very cheap but I feel that Boro, west brom and Swansea will all do pretty and look at that front 7 for GW 1. Hoping to get a fast start, might even WC in week 2 or 3.

      Not really seeing Payet in any RMTs. Seems to be the standout captain choice for GWs 2 and 4?

        Weird to see him so expensive

        Extended break after Euros very possible. Might not be back fully fit.

          sorry, i'm a bit rusty after a long absence.

          in answer to your question, he's assumed to be more nailed (though i disagree)

          just asking, does that mean you also want to know the answer, or have you replied with the answer earlier today?
