Saints fan here, I have Cabaye in my fantasy team and apart from a few highlights on MOTD don't know a lot about him, so is he actually a good player and worth me having!?
Cheers and good luck this season!
Is Cabaye Any Good?

I watched him a few times for Lille, and I thought he was excellent; his first-time passing, in particular, stood out.
Further, he seems to be taking set-pieces at Newcastle, so I think he would be a good player to have.

He's been okay, can't say much at the moment. His tackles are rash and he's smaller than most CMs but he has a good shot and his passing/crossing is highly rated. Apparently he's great at penalties. I think he'll be a good addition to our midfield, but I don't think he'll be a match winner. A bit like Seb Larsson I think. But not a liar.

he is a bit like seb larsson? Eh no chance! He has great vision and a really good work rate. Lots of simple things he does very well. First touch closing down short passes. He also can play good diagonals. He only had 1 bad tackle cheick. I think he is and will be very good for us this year

I thought he got a yellow card at Arsenal? Maybe not, but come on, they both have good set piece delivery but caybaye is better looking :D
