Up next in our series of members articles, which assess the statistics behind the 2015/16 season, is Watford.

We start off by looking at the Hornets’ team data in Quique Sanchez Flores’ solitary campaign at the helm and compare them to the rest of Premier League. After that, we analyse their first-team squad, main goal threats and creative sources in an attempt to gain insight on their prospects for the season ahead.

Tipped for the drop by many last time out, the Hornets were quick out the traps and racked up eight wins and five draws in the first 18 Gameweeks. Although Flores’ side failed to maintain momentum over the rest of the season and managed just four victories and as many draws in the final 20 matches, they were never in danger of relegation and ended in thirteenth spot, eight points clear of the bottom three.

          Thanks both. Defensive re jig is needed for Gabriel then. Who will partner him first game assuming Kosciusko isn't ready yet?

          1. S.Kuqi
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            Chambers?

            If yes need to reconsider Firmino/ Mane from the start

            1. oghash

              Hmm, interesting

    RP
    Right. It is starting to come down to this:

    1) Barks
    2) Miralles
    3) Dellboy

    I am starting to think Barks will do best when Lukaku returns. Caveat: based on nothing.

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • 12 Years

      Arnautovic is coming

      Deulofeu plays well with Lukaku.

    Stones to ManC and we have exceptional value at defence for 15.5M we can have nailed defs from ManC,ManU and Arsenal

    1. MrMaverick

      man utd & arsenal cs potential overrated

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years

        so which defences / defenders look better options for 5.5 / 5.0 ?

        1. MrMaverick
          • 10 Years

      I have no idea if Stones will start with Komp and Ota.

      1. huskerscott
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Umm, MC going to pay 50 million for stones, he won't be on the bench.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          They paid 50 Million for Sterling and he will be on the bench.

            10 years, 1 month ago

            Might not even make the bench if they sign Sane and the other two players they are linked with

            1. Worzel Gummidge
              10 years, 1 month ago

    Mertesacker injury confirmed?

    Is Gabriel now a good pick?

    1. JoeJitzu +42

      I'm considering GW3 on......

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No, they surely sign someone

      1. SweepaKeepa
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Wish I had your confidence! But I can see Monreal at CB before a new signing.

  11. JoeJitzu +42
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Every season (and I mean every season) I get off to a very, very poor start!
    I'm always ca. 1-2 million after 5-7 game weeks and then it's a slow slog to 5-10k by season end.

    I use to think it was luck but after 10+ years I'd surely would have had one good start. Anyway, feels the same again this year, like I'm not learning.

    With the above in mind, am I making the same old mistakes?

    Foster Jakupovic
    Williams Stones Friend McAuley Souaré
    KdB Mkhitaryan Ayew Fischer Capoue
    Aguero Kane Wilson

    1. SUAREZ_MESSI_COUTINHO
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Defence is weak. Kane might struggle with Dembele out.

      1. H-SF

        Why does everyone keep saying this!

    2. Ruth_NZ

      Looks poor to me. 😕

      1. JoeJitzu +42
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Any recommendations?

        1. H-SF
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I really like it- everything is solid. Maybe downgrade Williams to Fernandez and upgrade Fischer to Bojan or something...

        2. Ruth_NZ
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          OK, here's one of my (rare) RMTs. You asked for it. 🙂

          Jakupovic is a waste of space as are all Hull. Heaton will be useful to rotate with Foster. Cost -0.5m.

          Williams, Friend, McAuley are OK but I think Taylor, Ayala, Evans are better picks from the same clubs at neutral cost. Souare needs to be Dann if you want Palace and Stones is a waste, let's go for VVD for his 3 great early home games. Cost -1.5m but a rock solid defensive rotation for the first 5 weeks at least and with good goal threat in there.

          In the midfield, KDB and Aguero is overkill in my opinion so KDB becomes Eriksen who is a must in my book. Siggy rather than Ayew. Fletcher rather than Capoue though that's minor. Mkhi is probably a good pick if no Rooney/Ibra, I'll come back to that. Fischer is a big punt, I'd prefer Redmond or Townsend. Let's say Townsend as Palace have a great run of fixtures. That saves 1.0m overall so we are now -1.0m.

          Upfront - Aguero is OK. Kane is over-priced compared to Costa and you have no Chelsea representation despite them having a pretty ideal first 4 weeks. So, Costa for Kane. And lastly I'd prefer Gray to Wilson for the opening games. 1.5m saved so 0.5m saved overall.

          If Benteke moves to Palace I'd downgrade Townsend to Redmond and upgrade Gray to Benteke. That would use the spare 0.5m.

          Back to Mkhi - what I am suggesting leaves you with Mkhi + Costa but of course that could be Hazard + Rooney instead if you want proven PL players. Personally I'm not convinced of Hazard's FPL potential without penalties and I don't know who Chelsea's penalty taker will be.

          Foster Heaton
          VVD Dann Ayala Evans Taylor
          Mkhi Eriksen Siggy Townsend Capoue
          Aguero Costa Gray

          In summary, I think if you want a fast start you have to concentrate on the opening fixtures. 🙂

    Has Balders gone AWOL? Do we need to start a manhunt?

    1. oghash
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly, will mail him

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        I mailed him a few days ago regarding a draft league

        1. oghash
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Yes, so did I

          1. Cheeseoid
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years

            I didn't realise you were in it as well

            1. oghash
              • 11 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              Yup, quite looking forward to it

                • 14 Years

                Same here. But there are a lot of participants getting a good team will be very hard

                1. oghash
                  • 11 Years
                  10 years, 1 month ago

                  Should still be good

    2. Slam

      Still awaiting the draft date...

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I know. That is what is strange as the first potential date was several days ago

        1. Cheeseoid
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          I wonder if he has tweeted

    3. George Sillett

      TDF over , probably on jollies now.

      1. Cheeseoid
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        It could be that. Just strange because he was arranging a league and teh dates he gave for a potential draft have all passed now

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Unlike him not to keep in touch.

  13. Raheem S. Archer

    Baines or Coleman?

    1. JoeJitzu +42

      Coal man

    2. SweepaKeepa

      Baines

    3. thepeen555
      • 10 Years

      Baines for set pieces - didn't have a good time with Martinez from what I read so hopefully he might do well under new boss

    RMT please;)
    Foster (Heaton)
    Fernandez--Evans--Morgan (Shaw, Friend)
    Feghouli--Mhki--Nolito--Hazard (de Roon)

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Excellent! Not sure on Nolito & Austin is all....

      1. H-SF
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I think Nolito will do well in Guardiola's system but I agree it is a gamble...Austin less sure of who would you go for?

  15. Boo Ya Ka Sha
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Yay or nay for a starting attack

    KDB Firmino Deulofeu Ibe
    Kun Ibra Ighalo

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Dont like Ighalo or Ibe. Rest is fine if Deu starts.

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        my gut is telling me to trust a rested Ighalo

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          First 5 fixtures are horrid for attacking returns IMO.

          1. MrMaverick
            • 10 Years
            10 years, 1 month ago

            agreed

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ibe is great, saw him a fair amount live at Derby

      Surprised with Liverpool not giving him a real go, comfortably one of the best players I've seen with us in recent years

    3. H-SF
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Ibe a no from me. You could do better than Firmino at that price IMO. Ighalo interesting choice.

    Interesting article on the BBC website.

    Most PL teams are doing 12,000 miles or more of travel pre-season. Some (like Leicester) also did big trips post-season. These long trips and overseas tournaments impair pre-season but are highly lucrative and important for commercial sponsors.

    Only 5 teams are doing 2000 miles or less - Burnley, Everton, Hull, Sunderland and Watford. Of those, 4 have (or will have) new managers who will benefit from a coherent pre-season. That makes Everton players more attractive as early picks I think. Sunderland and Watford less so (tougher fixtures) and personally I am currently discounting Hull entirely.

    And that leaves Burnley. A concentrated pre-season, stability in the squad, stability with the manager and good opening fixtures (3 of 4 at home). Heaton was a cert for me anyway but I am now considering Andre Gray. I don't think he will be a season keeper by any means but I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Burnley make a good start and Gray has been scoring plenty in pre-season.

        Mazzari generallly seems to do what is expected at teams, neither better nor worse. I'd be surprised if he can get Watford into the top half.

      I'm staying away from Heaton, what is the appeal when Mandanda and Foster are the same price Ruth? Gray is in my watch-list for now.

      1. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        The appeal is that I expect him to out-perform both of those. Especially at home.

      Re Gray, all I can say is... Shhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

      1. MrMaverick
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        with those fixtures?

        1. THE REAL RON ⚽
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Haven't even looked at fixtures yet to be honest, but you're right - not amazing. Four home games in the first six though, three of those are decent.

    5. sinik

      yep I have Heaton and Gray in my team atm

      I have to say I was delighted when I saw Everton's schedule. Nice to see the new board has backed the manager and not messed up a pre season with these silly trips around the world.

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        I am thinking of getting Gerry D in from the off. Thoughts?

  17. Tornado
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Miralles or delof?

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Possible Barkley. Out of those I would say Delboy, just but its close.

    2. Big Sum

      Too early to say

    3. Pierce34

      Depardieu

    4. H-SF
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Miralles, awesome pre-season form, more likely to start and set pieces.

  18. Tornado
    • 17 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Gray vs negredo

    Gray has the pre season form but fixtures?

    1. ihateramsey2
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Vs Wilson too. i cant decide between them 3

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Austin.

    3. THE REAL RON ⚽
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Negredo's a non-starter FPL-wise if you know Karanka.

      1. Tornado
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Why under karanka? Too defensive?

        1. THE REAL RON ⚽
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Rotation, rotation, rotation. 🙂

          He didn't want Rhodes, but they paid a fortune for him.

    4. twoplustwo

      Carroll mate

      1. Boo Ya Ka Sha
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        this + Gray. I'm not even considering Negredo.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Basically a cheap route into Payet

          He was unplayable last year, think the DGW scared people 🙂

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        or 14 2 2 2 2 2 😉

        would suit for me as a early wildcarder

        1. THE REAL RON ⚽
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          except he's just had the 14.

      At his price you can always get on if he starts well

      I managed to catch a run of his or two last season

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Well I'm late if he starts well and I don't have him. Need to be ahead of a pack if I want succesfull season 🙂

  21. Elijah's Wood
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    If you were to wildcard in the first 4 weeks would you start with Firmino who seems to perform well against the 'better' teams or play the fixtures and get someone else?

    Currently got KDB Mahrez Ayew Townsend Fischer Aguero Zlatan (3-5-2)

    Could do KDB + Fischer -> Firmino + £7.5

    IMO an Arsenal side without most of their key players could be devastating. Only trouble is that KDB allows me to easily downgrade to Hazard if need be

    1. THE REAL RON ⚽
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      An Arsenal side without most of their key players? Eh?

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Arsenal v Liverpool GW1

      2. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Snchez, Ozil, Ramey, Mert all expected to miss GW1 I believe.

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Kosc and Giroud as well.

        2. THE REAL RON ⚽
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Knowing Wenger, he'll say they need a rest, but end up playing them anyway. 🙂

        3. Elijah's Wood
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Throw in Koscielney and Giroud

    2. #23
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      My experience with mid+fwd is fixtures doesn't matter that much, factor in start of season and form is unknown, go with your gut feeling. If you want Firminho then just start with him

      1. Elijah's Wood
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Fair point, KDB has been nailed in my team since the beginning and I feel as though I need him for Sunderland. Hoping someone would talk me into switching to Firm lol.

  22. H-SF
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Fabregas and Ayew (Lamela after IB)
    or
    Nolito and Feghouli/any other 5.5m mid you could recommend

  23. skodaole2
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any Chelsea experts? Willian, Pedro, Oscar is anyone of them considered nailed on? Or all of them rotated?

    1. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Fab actually looks the most likely of that lot

      Would say maybe Willian otherwise at that price point but I have Haz

  24. Davido989
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Oh look, Bobby F has become popular 🙁

    1. Jazz!
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Which is why you need to upgrade to Sadio 🙂

      1. Worzel Gummidge
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure that is an upgrade 🙂 Hope not anyway as dont have the 0.5 now.

        1. Jazz!
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Well soon it'll be proven it is 😉

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I didn't want to Start with him but Arsenals defence problems is making me want to start with him now and think I will. Just need to pick an Everton MID and my midfield is done.

      1. THE REAL RON ⚽
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 1 month ago

        Mertesacker and Gabriel are as bad as each other. They haven't really got defensive problems..

        1. Worzel Gummidge
          10 years, 1 month ago

          Josh expected not to start as well GW1.

          1. Worzel Gummidge
            10 years, 1 month ago

            *Kosc

            1. THE REAL RON ⚽
              • 10 Years
              10 years, 1 month ago

              I'd expect that to change now. AW will get him back early. Gab/Chambo = disaster.

    3. THE REAL RON ⚽
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nah, he'll go under the radar I reckon overall. 🙂

      For a casual, Mane got more points last season, Coutinho is cheaper.

    4. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Been in my team since day 1 Berbs. Essential.

    5. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Had him for a bit, but swapped for Mahrez. Not sure if he will come back yet

  25. CCaddy
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Does it look like deulofeu will be playing upfront under koeman?

    1. KingNidge
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. Tornado
      • 17 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Up front with lukaku?

      Is miralles playing?

  26. Magic Man
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    3--1 EVE Besic (McGeady)

  27. twoplustwo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    For the evening crew

    Front 8, generally in a 4-3-3 and contingent on Bentekkers moving, of

    Hazard Mkhi Mahrez Ayew Ibe

    Aguero Benteke Carroll

  28. Bennison
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Any Ideas on how I can improve my team?

    Valdes // Jak
    Gabriel // Shaw // Van Aanholt // Williams // Paredes
    De Bruyne // Mkh // Fabregas // Townsend // Mendy
    Aguero // Lukaku // Shaw

    1. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Shaw up front. Straight in my team.

    2. twoplustwo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Nice, I've had similar but without Lukaku (prefer Carroll and Wilson)

    3. H-SF
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Someone more attacking than Mendy. Why are you playing Luke Shaw upfront and in defence???
      Doubt Paredes will play and not sure on Gabriel...

    4. Bennison
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Woops meant Long instead of Shaw upfront

  29. nimbin_headers
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    Gabriel nailed on the plus side but Wenger buy someone please or 2 or 3!!!
    Go spend your money it's not yours it's ok

  30. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 1 month ago

    2nd striker dilemma. I'm not going to have Kane or Lukaku so it has be Costa right or is there any better options?

    1. H-SF
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 1 month ago

      Batshuayi if Chelsea play 442?

    2. Worzel Gummidge
      10 years, 1 month ago

      I will have Aguero, Bats and Austin. Happy with that.
