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.

    Thoughts? not great I know but here's my team, thinking I'll have to lose KDB though worried about no Arsenal, Spurs, and my weak defense

    Mandanda
    Shaw, Funes Mori, Fuchs
    KDB, Hazard, Tadic, Feghouli
    Aguero, Lukaku, Long

    Bench; Mannone, Fletecher, Evans Paredes

    Conte on Costa -

    ‘Diego is our player. He is a fantastic player, a player with a fundamental importance and there is no problem. He stays with us, he is working very hard, he is very happy to work with his teammates and with me in the new idea of football. He is a Chelsea player.

    What are people's thoughts on doubling up on defences when they have a strong run of fixtures and are good value for money, such as West Brom and Middlesbrough?

    From what I understand, there is a lot of hate for doubling up and I am not sure why?

      Doubling up is okay, but I wouldnt do it on an unproven defence at this level like Boro's.

    Can't believe so many are going with Shaw.. He's just come back from 10 months out, it's not like United don't have other players that can play there.. Wouldn't be trusting him to be injury free and getting consistent 90 minutes from the start of the season
