Last season 2nd place finish in League One (91 pts – 1.98 points p/game)
One thing the MK Dons did very well last season was dominate shooting over their opponents with a TSR figure of .648 (673 shots for / 1,039 total shots) and also were more accurate overall than opponents, their SoTR being .656. MK Dons were simply League One scoring machines with the 101 goals scored (2.2 goals per game) from 288 on-target shots representing a conversion shooting% of 35.07%. Additionally, they only conceded 44 goals across the season and had a save% of 70.88%, giving them an end-of-season PDO rating of 105.95 showing that they performed above the level expected of them. Still, the step up in class is likely to be a big leveller this coming season and that is likely one reason the bookmakers think that they will struggle in the Championship. Spending nothing and earning nothing in the post-season, MK Dons have nonetheless brought in players with some pedigree in veteran Matthew Upson (Leicester City – free) and Real Madrid Castilla players Cristian Benavente (three goals last season) and Sergio Aguza (five goals last season), Aguza appearing twice on the bench for Real’s first team last season.
Projected finish 2015/16 – 20th
