The Numbers Game – Manchester United

4,008 Comments
Share

Our summer series of members’ articles, offering an in-depth team-by-team analysis of the previous campaign, continues with Manchester United.

To get things up and running, we’ll look at the performance levels on a team level and attempt to spot trends or improvements.

We then delve into the player data, analysing the key individuals as we scour for early targets ahead of the new season.

Replacing Louis van Gaal as manager last May, Jose Mourinho could only manage a sixth-place finish in his first year in charge at Old Trafford.

This was, in part, due to the club’s successful march to Europa League success as Mourinho rotated his side towards the latter stages of the league season.

Despite adding big-name buys such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan in attack, the Red Devils netted just 54 times – up five on 2015/16 and only eighth best in the top-flight.

Meanwhile, a total of 69 points was just three more than their haul from Van Gaal’s final year at the helm.

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

      I haven't been on much recently. Care to elaborate? I'm guessing by your username and post it has something to do with picking players that are

      A. Highly owned
      B. Owned only by a few geniuses.

      Is that it, or am I missing something gargantuan?

        Yes, there is a fine balance between the 2

        It is essentially playing a mini-game within the FPL game. Using ownership to your advantage by following the "pack" but at the same time separating yourself from the pack

      If you're going with 4-3-3 it'd be better to downgrade one of Daniels/Cedric to a 4.5m defender and upgrade Sané to Coutinho. Gives you coverage and is absolutely a better pick imo, Sané doesn't really score much.

          You actually have triple City with Kompany. Sane is absolutely unnecessary, the only reason I'd consider getting him is for coverage if I had no other City players.

          He was nailed and on pens last year too. He's got free kicks for sure, but most probably only the direct Fks and while that's great for a 5.0m, you will be benching him after the first blank. Helps not to have extreme reactions.

              The other factors mainly revolve around the alternatives. I think Trippier is well priced but I'd rather have Bertrand at the same price initially. I think Kane's price is a bit high but that wouldn't put me off if I didn't prefer alternatives. And there's also an issue of squad structure.

              Essentially I have no interest in any striker below 8m and the cheapest I'm really happy with is 8.5m. Lukaku is a dead cert for me, so that's 20m already. Add Kane and that's 32.5m which is a bit of a stretch with a 100m budget, especially when I already have the reservations about Spurs already mentioned. I'd rather use the 10.5/10.0 level for my 3rd striker slot, there are at least 2 strikers there I'd be happy with.

              So that means one of Alli/Eriksen or no Spurs at all for me probably. But who knows how it will look in 2 weeks?

    For the love of all things football, why is Conte so dead set on ruining Batshuayi's career. The kid scores for fun every chance he gets, and yet he still refuses to play him (when Costa was out) and is allegedly persistent on buying Llorente who could practically be Mitchy's dad and has nowhere near as much potential.

        Learn his craft? He was a regular starter for Marseille and scored basically 1 in 2 over 2 years. We played bloody 33m for him and he can't even get a run of starts in cup competitions. Maybe there's something I can't see from the training pitch, but surely he's ready. At 23 he shouldn't be tossed around on loan anymore, we do too much of that crap and end up losing players like Lukaku.

    Thoughts?

    Not a massive fan of an uber-cheap GK rotation, but it looks like good value for now. Had KDB previously, but ate up funds considering I'm looking at some expensive defenders, hence the switch to Sané. Coutinho & Willian; Kane & Lukaku speak for themselves.

    Wary of not owning one of Alli/Eriksen. Monitoring Ritchie/Mee/Austin situations. Steve Cook is a sleeper pick.

          Highest scoring mid from last season that is currently priced 6.5 or below is Snodgrass at a measly 133 points...
          There are SEVEN defenders who scored more than that who are currently priced 6.5 or below, with Cahill and Azpilicueta absolutely blowing him out of the water with 170+ points.

          Bad advice? How about you stop living under the illusion that defenders are bad and actually look at the numbers properly. Get rid of the stupid traditional mentality.

            Some players was priced below 6m in midfield last year, King comes to mind. It´s all about how you make your decisions right during the actual season, picking the right players in each position at the time they actually delivers points is the aim, isnt it?

            I tend to agree with you that some defenders were of great value last season and some of them prob would be this season too, but the same rule applies to them as for every other position; value could be found throughout different approaches regarding team structure, value per point, etc, as fantasy footy not only have one way to rome, but several to succeed and to fail

            Looking at yesterdays numbers could give you some valuable information but it isn´t a manual for the next season, it could be other defenders this year for all we know, which we atm ofc don´t.

              I actually do agree completely. There isn't much value in looking at the season total numbers for me, it's just the quick and dirty way to make comparisons. It's all about getting the right players at the right times. That's made a lot easier with consistent players though, and I feel the cheap midfielders are much more of a lottery.

    Can I ask what the situation regarding RLC is? I don't profess to be at all astute when it comes to price changes (or FF overall for that matter) but surely if you're picking a 4.5 midfielder to just sit on your bench and never play, you'd be far better off picking one with low ownership so that he doesn't plummet your TV?

    If RLC doesn't play, he'll drop pretty quickly at his current ownership, no?

        Noble was on pens last season as well as free kicks and scored 71 points. Averaging 2.4 points per game. So to me it seems Mili could easy be in the same scoring range which even for a 5m mid isn't great.

          It's just a pre-season bandwagon because someone has scored a free kick and someone else has 5.0m for a midfielder spot. He was on pens last year too, and while he probably has fks, it may just be the direct ones. You really don't want to be punting on a defensive midfielder to be getting pens and scoring direct fks in a midfield spot. He'll sit on your bench most games and that is arguably 0.5m wasted.
