<h2><strong>Essential Southampton FPL Stats | Key Numbers</strong></h2>
<p>The first <strong>FPL stat</strong> that strikes me about <strong>Southampton</strong> is that they conceded <strong>14.6 goals more than their expected goals allowed (xGA)</strong>. 14.6 was the highest xGA delta by far. Brighton was second highest with 10.14.</p>
<p>When the shot is on target, the numbers look slightly better. Southampton had an <strong>expected goals on target allowed (xGoTA) of 56.8</strong>, which is 3.4 higher than their xGA. That gives an xGoTA Delta of 11.2.</p>
<p>Any way you slice it, <strong>Southampton gift goals</strong>.</p>
<p><span class="W0U5ZAFiQPtSgBlvmdKwnuvsXDlYzJOLBCEsNGGq3muWoTgJaS1FVM4n7crdahRf1bxf2rMI5Qi84Ck6Zeo2PRbyHXy"></p>
<blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="N0obMaVEhF"><p><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">Fantasy Premier League Stats by OPTA</a></p></blockquote>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);" title="&#8220;Fantasy Premier League Stats by OPTA&#8221; &#8212; Fantasy Football Hub" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/embed/#?secret=N0obMaVEhF" data-secret="N0obMaVEhF" width="600" height="338" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The logical question now is <em>how</em> they gift goals. Despite having the <strong>2<sup>nd</sup> most unsuccessful passes last season</strong> (3663), they allowed the 2<sup>nd</sup> fewest chances from counterattacks (7) and had the joint fewest errors leading to a chance (6).</p>
<p>They did, however, give up the <strong>4<sup>th</sup> most penalties (9</strong>), and they conceded 128 chances from their right, compared to 99 from the left and 89 from the centre. A change from last season when they conceded 42% of their chances from the left (139).</p>
<p>The real vulnerability for Southampton is that almost <strong>27% of the chances they conceded were big chances (85)</strong>. That&#8217;s the 4<sup>th</sup> worst in the league.</p>
<p>To compound their defensive woes, they created the 5<sup>th</sup> fewest chances from the left (95), and the 4<sup>th</sup> fewest chances from the right (85). They are very predictable with the way they attack and the player they are looking for when they do attack.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Southampton may struggle against teams who command the midfield defensively, effectively taking away passing lanes.</p>
<p>Teams who can draw them out with possession and who have a skilled attacker on their left side could also see success against <strong>Ralph Hasenhüttl</strong>&#8216;s men.</p>
