Key Transfers
Nathan Wood / Undisclosed / Middlesbrough
Boro were disappointed to lose one of the up-and-coming prospects and their loss could be Swansea's gain. However, the 20-year-old still has a lot to prove at senior level. 2/5.
Harry Darling / £2m / MK Dons
Classy centre-back Darling looks made to settle straight in at pass masters Swansea. He is a very good signing. 5/5
Joe Allen / Free / Stoke
The 32-year-old Welsh international is back where it all began, ten years after leaving the Liberty Stadium. Allen is still a classy operator at this level so looks a shrewd free acquisition. 4/5
Flynn Downes
£12m / West Ham
Yan Dhanda
Free / Ross County
Korey Smith
Free / Derby
Morgan Whittaker
Loan / Plymouth
Insights
Swansea's 63.9 per cent possession was the most of any Championship side last season.
No side took a higher percentage of their shots from outside the box than Swansea's 49 per cent.
Swansea's total of two set-piece goals scored was the lowest in the division.
Swansea won an average of ten aerial challenges per game, by far the lowest in the division.
Season Verdict
Russell Martin's Swansea play an ultra-expansive, possession-based style which can make them tough to play against, but they may lack the necessary quality to have an impact on the promotion race. The Swans can be slick going forward with their star striker, Joel Piroe, netting 22 goals last season but the defence can be left exposed and the goals against column (68) was the highest among the top 16 clubs.
