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

    Right so a slight reshuffle has left me with this for now..

    Foster Jakupovic
    Shaw Baines Friend/Kone/Soaure
    Martial Mkhit Cesc Bolasie Deu
    Kun Michy Rhodes

    If Negredo comes in at 6.0 will be sweet, otherwise the whole team needs a re-work

              I meant that that long injury ruined his form for the season. He didn't play a single full match, and in 5 of his 14 matches he played less than 60 minutes. I'd want to see him having a full season, in full fitness.

        Going to try something new this season, which looks the best value for money? (Wildcard in GW4):

        A) Premium keeper, 2 premium defs, 3 rotating £4.5m = £34m

        Courtois + Jaku, Shaw, Baines, MID/WBA/STO

        B) £8.5m keeper combo, 3 premium def, 1 £4.5m, 1 £4m bench fodder = £33.5m

        Valdes/Foster + Jaku, Chelsea, Shaw, Baines, Friend, Wilson

        Wondering whether an attacking Chelsea defender is worth the extra £0.5m over Courtois - whether Conte will hold a deep back line or allow his fullbacks to roam forward?

              I am light on Arsenal but our defence is a bit unreliable in the 2nd CB position. Gabriel should play but Wenger likes Per.

                Per is that year older and Gabriel didnt really do anything wrong .. Wish you were in the Charity Shield

            Shaw at 5.5 and Foster at 4.5 are pretty stand out I think
