Based on first half, people still think Southampton is going down?
Ward-Prowse needs replacing if you ask me. FFS, gets free kicks instead of Tadic? Koeman crazy?
Oh i don’t know Raz, Koeman knows a thing or two about freekicks.
Tadic is too freaking nice letting a 19 year old take so much shit.
Raz- I have never seen Tadic play so cant comment on him.
Think Ward Prowse in general has great deliveries.
JWP’s deliveries have been excellent so far. Tadic needs to stop getting bullied by Manquillo and start pinging balls into the box himself. He looks promising so far though
As much as I want to hate on Ward-Prowse you’re absolutely right. This makes Tadic less interesting from FPL perspective and Ward-Prowse more at the price of 5m. He’s a great buy even.
In general I got to say Southampton are looking good. Can hardly notice the Lallana or Lambert loss. Yoshida is shite though, so Lovren they are missing.
Yep, I’d agree with that Raz. Solid centre back and they’re sorted. Bertrand is doing well today too
Come on Daniel! 31 points needs improving.
Dont know if i can watch any more of this, the amount of luminous boots is doing my eyes in!
It’s like the Riverdance on acid.
Particular hobby of yours? The river dance I mean!!
Can someone explain the BPS, and how it is calculated. sterling and henderson both on 21, and skrtel on 15? not really getting it. sorry to be so stupid :/
hazrd – they are multiplied by 3 this year so thats why they look big. Other than that…. no clue
How is the BPS score calculated?
Players score BPS points based on the following statistics (one point for each unless otherwise stated):

Midifielders scoring a goal 18
Forwards scoring a goal 24
Assists 9
Goalkeepers and defenders keeping a clean sheet 12
Saving a penalty 15
Save 1
Open play cross 1
Creating a big chance (a chance where the receiving player should score) 3
For every 3 clearances, blocks and interceptions (total) 1
For every 3 recoveries 1
Key pass 1
Successful tackle (net*) 1
Successful dribble 1
Scoring the goal that wins a match 3
70 to 79% pass completion (at least 30 passes made) 3
80 to 89% pass completion (at least 30 passes made) 6
90%+ pass completion (at least 30 passes made) 9
Conceding a penalty -3
Missing a penalty -6
Yellow card -3
Red card -9
Own goal -6
Missing a big chance -3
Making an error which leads to a goal -3
Making an error which leads to an attempt at goal -1
Being tackled -1
Conceding a foul -1
Being caught offside -1

*Net successful tackles is the total of all successful tackles minus any unsuccessful tackles. Players will not be awarded negative BPS points for this statistic.
