A disappointing Gameweek 12 stutters to its conclusion at the Hawthorns this evening as West Bromwich Albion entertain travel-sick Burnley.

The Baggies have mustered just a single clean sheet in five fixtures in front of their own supporters but will fancy their chances of improving that record, bearing in mind that Burnley have scored once in four road trips.

Sean Dyche’s side have shipped three goals on a trio of away occasions, heightening the hosts’ optimism for finding the net. With Nacer Chadli still unavailable, Salomon Rondon seems the likeliest source of attacking returns.

Chris Brunt is handed another chance to impress as an out of position prospect, with the Irishman set to start on the flank once again.

No side have conceded more attempts from set-pieces than Burnley this season, which suggests that Tom Heaton can expect an aerial assault from Gareth McAuley and co, with Brunt’s delivery a key weapon.

Burnley’s lack of bite on the road means that top scorer Sam Vokes faces a tough task of maintaining his fine form, having netted against Southampton, Everton and Palace in three of the previous four Gameweeks.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      You will cry when city smash someone for 6 but otherwise a very strong squad pal

      1. CCaddy

        Yes I think citys forward players are the most vulnerable to rotation with the amount of options they have including yaya now. I'm sure I'll get stung on occasion with a big Aguero haul but I Feel overall I'll get more points.

      Very good. I'm going without City too. Fed up with Pep

      1. CCaddy

        Yep team most vulnerable to rotation and I don't think I'd captain Aguero now until 2017.

      I'd like a stronger 5th mid and downgrade a defender to play 3-5-2. Other than that I like it

  3. Dr Robotnik

    Is there a good reason not to replace Diamande with Anichebe if I have no other issues in my squad?

      I'd do it. Sounds good.

      How is 24 on LMS looking TM? Knocked out?

        Very borderline.

          What happens if safety score is exactly 24? My rank is roughly 100k

            Safety score = 24 then 😀

              Oh. Right. I thought it works like qualifying for the FFS cup.

                9 years, 3 months ago

                It would be 23 and .....K rank but all 23s go out.

    Awkward moment when I bought Phillips on my wildcard then sold him because someone on here said I would 'regret it massively'...

    Don't feel in love with my squad but at the same a little stuck for the money to undertake significant surgery - plus the fixtures look OK this week.

    Foster pickford
    Fuchs clyne holebas amat porters
    Firmino coutinho hazard gundogen Allen
    Rashford aguero kane

    Rashford has been clogging up the bench for weeks but for who? Gundogen not playing next week is also a potential issue with Allen out so one of those could go? But again options limited.

    Hopefully that goal will mean I get my 0.1m back on Fletcher! 🙂

    Not feeling good about my team. What do you think?

    Foster (hul)
    Alonso (TOT), Clyne (SUN), Holebas (STO)
    Hazard (TOT), Coutinho (SUN), Walcott (BOU), Capoue (STO)
    Aguero (bur), Lukaku (sot), Benteke (swa)

    Jakupovic, Walker (che), Smith (ars), Allen (SUS)

    0.5m and 1FT

    Is it worth taking a -4 to swap Clyne and Allen to Sigurdsson and Amat?

    Or i could swap Benteke to Defoe. Sunderland do play Liverpool away though.

    Appreciate any thoughts.

    Thanks

    Heaton, Pickford;
    Brunt, McAuley, Holebas, Cameron, Amat;
    Hazard, KDB, Coutinho, Firmino, de Roon;
    Aguero, Lukaku, Austin.

    A. Lukaku & de Roon

    Guys, need to get rid of Allen, Shaw and Gundogan. What would be the best transfers to fit in.
