Our summer series of members’ articles – offering an in-depth team-by-team analysis of 2016/17 – continues with West Bromwich Albion.
To begin with, we’ll look at the performance levels over the team statistics in an attempt to spot trends or improvements.
We then delve into the player data, analysing the key individuals as we scour for early targets ahead of the new season.
In addition, we’ll check in on the Baggies’ threat from set-pieces, in particular, with their reliance on dead-ball situations remaining pivotal to their prospects.
West Brom certainly upped their attacking output in the previous season.
Pulis’ side netted a mere 34 goals – the second-worst record in the top-flight – on their way to finishing in fourteenth spot in 2015/6. Yet last term, they found the net on 43 occasions to claim tenth position.

4.0 ITB
I've not been terribly active for a couple if weeks so I might have missed some key developments.
I realise that the 4.0ITB might need spending and could do Bats to Kane but was waiting to see what happens in Week 1 and keep powder dry?
All advice welcome.
