A weekend strike against Sunderland took Chris Brunt’s tally to three goals and as many assists in just 13 starts for West Brom this season.
Yet the Irishman’s bandwagon has failed to materialise mainly due to the continued popularity of four-goal team-mate Gareth McAuley, who now resides in 27.9% of Fantasy Premier League squads after grabbing a 12-point tally against the Black Cats.
Often utilised as a winger by Tony Pulis this season, Brunt has netted twice in the last three Gameweeks despite a shift to left-back. Even more impressively, a goal involvement rate of 28.6% when on the pitch is higher than any regular backline option this season.
Considering his classification as a defender in FPL, we assess his latest displays to see just what effect his stint in the Baggies back-four has had on the underlying numbers.
