The Numbers Game – 2015/16 Review – Stoke City

20 July 2016 1728 comments

Paul

We continue our series of members’ articles, which review the numbers behind the 2015/16 season, with a look at Stoke City.

To get up and running, we delve into the Potters’ data and compare them to the rest of the Premier League, before assessing their first-team squad, main goal threats and creative sources as we look for some pointers ahead of the upcoming 2016/17 campaign.

Despite finding the net on 41 occasions, Mark Hughes’ side still finished in ninth position for the second successive season. Although they mustered just three points less than 2014/15 – picking up 51 points – it’s fair to say that the Potters’ threat in the final third took a turn for the worse in a season that saw just nine of their players find the net.

If you claim to be 'all that' you might want to back it up with past performances and you had better make sure you finish at least in the top 1k this season,

Otherwise everyone will laugh at you, a lot. And rightly so, because you'll look like a complete and utter idiot.

Casuals gonna blast us out the water on day one.

They'll all load up on Mahrez & Vardy, but too expensive for us skilled practitioners.

Leicester gonna hump Hull, hauls for both, sky rocket in price and we'll all be screwed 😀

Bottomed:

What's everyone's thoughts on De Bruyne now? He was one of the first players in my team but now I feel the opposite. Hasn't gone on City's pre-season tour and they have CL qualifiers early in the season. No one else worried about rotation and his minutes early on?

  He's a livewire, a player worth taking
  But with him, kun and nolito, one can't be sure of consistent returns, as goals might be distributed
  Also i am a part of the minority which thinks pep to manC won't be extremely successful immideately

  4th most expensive player in the game, and yet with Kun in the team you'll never captain him. Streaky too based on last season.

2nd draft:
Valdes
Stones - Cedric - shaw
KDB - hazard - mkhi - feghoulli
Aguero - long - benteke

Bench - foster, hojbjerg, friend, parades

If benteke doesn't move - best replacement?
Is hazard work the extra than fab?

---------------Kouyate Noble------------
Feghouli--------Quina-------------Tore
-------------------Valencia-----------------

West Ham line up v Rubin Kazan

The 2 CB's out for Reid and Ogbonna and Quina for Payet is how we will line up gw1 Maybe Carroll if fit or new striker for Valencia.

  Confirmed by Bilić or not? I still think the GW1 midfield will be:
  
  Noble *Nordtveit Kouyaté
  .......Payet Feghouli
  
  A system which will be deployed a fair bit, imo. Nordtveit is the only true DM there and I can see Bilić potentially adopting similar tactics to what he witnessed Joachim Löw use against Conte's team at the Euros.
  
  I know 4-2-3-1 is the preferred WHam system but I see 3 in midfield being used in certain tougher games.

  5 goals and 2 assists in La Liga last season ain't great, and he's no spring chicken.

Why is stones being picked so much more in drafts? Does Koeman really make them that much better defensively?

I'm not particularly convinced by his Southampton defence. It was good but average for southampton.

West Brom have yet to respond to a bid from Stoke of £20m for striker Saido Berahino, according to Sky sources.

Mark Hughes told Sky Sports News HQ yesterday that Stoke have already seen several bids for him rejected.

Stoke are prepared to pay £17m up front, with a further £3m in add ons, but it's emerged West Brom are not prepared to let him leave without first lining up a replacement.

In turn, we understand Albion are interested in West Ham striker Diafra Sakho, but again, the Hammers are reluctant to negotiate without signing a new striker of their own.

Berahino, who is in the final year of his existing contract, was last month offered an improved deal at The Hawthorns, but Sky sources say he has turned that offer down.

I have decided Firmino is too much of a steal to pass on @8.5m even with his opening 3 fixtures being away. Set n forget.

    I rate Eriksen both as a player and fpl wise but in terms of fpl Firmino is surely superior due to that goal threat of his. I don't even mind the fixtures for Livp attack anway, they'll probably score in all 3 of those away games and no doubt Firmino will be involved.

    I would guess at this. Mainly Mané right and Coutinho left. Klopp used a 4-4-2 a lot last season with Firmino playing off the striker.

  Coutinho played more games on the left of the 4-2-3-1.
  
  I'd expect Mane to play right with Firmino down the middle behind Sturridge.
  
  I might try and watch tonight's preseason game.
  
  Grujic, the kid they bought from Red Star looks good.

I have a 6.5 mid and a 7.5 mid in my team, both are punts but I like the flexibilty of having those 2 spots

If there's a 5.5 bargain like Fischer or Feghouli it's an easy downgrade and it opens up the 8.5 area which brings the likes of Eriksen into play, or the likes of fab, Mata, Theo, Barkley or the Everton mids

I'm not sure how you lot went about it, but last season I only played 5 at the back I think once in 38 games. I presume I'll follow the same idea going into this season, therefore would it not be a sensible choice to get 4 decent/good defenders, and 1 cheap defender to sit on my bench all season, in the hope that another Targett will arise allowing me a straight swap. Sensible, right?
