The penultimate team in our series of members’ articles, which review the numbers behind the 2015/16 season, are West Brom.

We get our analysis underway by assessing the Baggies team statistics and compare them to the rest of the Premier League and their previous league campaign. We then take a close look at their first-team squad, main goal threats and creative sources with one eye on the season kick-off in just over two weeks’ time.

The Baggies finished in fourteenth position last time out – just six points clear of the drop zone – after a dire run of form saw them draw four and lose five of their final nine league fixtures.

Pulis’ side struggled for a cutting edge and managed to find the net on just 34 occasions – down on their 38 goals from 2014/15 and a tally superior only to basement-dwellers Villa.

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

    Can anyone help?

    I haven't been able to access my fpl account although I am sure I remember username and password.

    Furthermore, when I ask fpl to reset the password I receive no emails from them.

    I've contacted them several times but get no reply and checked junk folders/spam settings etc.

    Does anyone know if others are experiencing problems and if so if or how they managed to resolve them?

    Thank you

      Thanks guys. I've tried all that stuff but to no avail. I guess I'll just keep bugging fpl and hope it can get sorted.

      Going on holiday on Monday for 3 weeks with no internet so am beginning to get concerned.

    Mkhi or Alli ? Risk versus proved point accumalator

    1. Däzzy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Mhki

    2. Jazz!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      You seem to prefer Alli

      1. bmor
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah. I do. However there is so much support here for Mhki as if he is the new Messi i thought i missing something.

        1. Ruth_NZ
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I'd rather have Eriksen than either. 😕

    3. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Alli definitely

  4. Goodricke
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    It was never this hard last year, plus early start means more time to change as new players are signed. But, here is draft 4326

    Hart/Hennessey
    Darmian, Bellerin, Toby A, Kingsley, Daniels
    Kante, Mahrez, Drinkwater, King, Arnie
    Kun, Zlatan, Nugent.

    Nugent with experience of this level seems a steal at 5m for a 3rd striker.

    1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That's BadRicke

    2. Grand Thibauto
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Kante, Drinkwater, King, Nugent. Look what Kun+Zlatan did to you.

      1. Däzzy
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        The defence is the main problem not Kun + Zlatan

    3. Däzzy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Lol you're gonna have to do another 4326 drafts m8
      Defence way too expensive
      Goalkeepers way too expensive
      King not nailed
      Arnie had very poor fixtures
      Kante and Drinkwater are terrible FPL options
      Nugent won't even play
      Keep up the good work 😉

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I bet the other 4325 drafts must be better, surely can't be worse :ozil:

    4. bmor
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      4/10. Too much on defence. Midfield looks very weak apart from Mahrez. Nice forward line.

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Your a kind scorer

        This comment made me burst into laughter. Sums up everything I was thinking in one word.

    6. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Hennessey likely won't be first choice, Kingsley wont play. Midfield looks like a post apocalypse, Nugent won't see gametime

      I like Aguero though

  5. Blurryface

    Whats sot team today?

  6. Syphras
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Walker + Friend
    Or
    Gabriel (since Mertesacker has a long term injury) + Stones?

    I asked earlier who the 10 best scoring players will be this season. Not one person said Mahrez. Anyone think he will do well again this season?

    1. Ruth_NZ
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. 150 points maybe. OK but not exceptional.

        Because of leicester having 2nd season sydrome and UCL?

        1. internal error
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Not 2nd season sydrome exactly but i hope you get what i mean

          1. Ruth_NZ
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yes. And no penalties. And no taking everyone by surprise.

            How many goals did Mahrez score in the 2nd half of last season? 4 was it?

            1. Ayew Serious
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 4 months ago

              Ye. 4 goals and 4 assists

              1. Ruth_NZ
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                8 goals + 8 assists = 64 points + appearance and clean sheet points + BPs. 150 sounds about right. 160 maybe.

              How many pens did Mahrez score last season?
              Dont worry, il get a membership this weekend. I havent even signed up to fpl yet

              1. Ayew Serious
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                I dunno. He missed 2 though

    2. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I do

    3. Däzzy
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Think he could defo make top 10

    4. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I didn't answer honestly. Mahrez would probably not make my 10 although he is in my team

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I only saw your answer just now. Made me smile

    5. Clump
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Very well. Leicester may have to score a few more this year to win games (Kante effect).
      You'd bet on Mahrez being involved (providing he stays)

  8. Kante Be Bothered
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    If Koulibaly goes to Chelsea, how much do you think he will cost in FPL?

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      5.5

    2. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Doesn't seem to have any attacking threat, based on his goals and assists so hopefully 5.5.

  9. Coaly
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    a) 4.5 5th def, Ayew, Benteke (assuming he goes to Palace)
    b) 4.0 5th def, Townsend, Lukaku

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      A

  10. Jafooli
    • 13 Years

    FPL just needs to start so the real misery can begin.

  11. Scab
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Having a hard time deciding between:

    A) Tadic
    B) Redmond
    C) Ayew

    Give me clarity boys!

    1. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Ayew for me, those first two games are too juicy to ignore.

      1. Scab
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        cheers parm

      2. Ruth_NZ
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Siggy is a better choice at the same price. Swansea will have a striker by the time the season starts.

        1. Jazz!
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Even if Ayew is an OOP striker, I prefer Siggy.

          1. Ruth_NZ
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Me too but if Ayew is striker it's a pretty even call.

    Zeki Fryers starts at left-back again for Crystal Palace. Souaré on the bench.

    1. Ayew Serious
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Souare is first choice imo

      1. Jazz!
        • 10 Years

        Agree but one to look out for

    1. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Correct. Can go top of the league if you have the points.

      only if daniels is injured

      1. madame shelly
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        £6m for a reserve? Maybe one plays on the wing. They might have Mings at some point too. Seems a lot of money for back up

  18. Jafooli

        Cross into the box. Poor marking and placed it into the bottom corner with his right foot

    Do you think Negredo will be on penos?

    Reckon Hazard will play left wing? There's a chance he'll play as a 10

      There's no chance he'll play 10

    Guys RMT please, this is like my 30th one, but let's hope this is the one. Be honest, and have in mind that I don't mind using an early wildcard due to fixtures or possible injuries (since my bench is weak). The last choice I have to do is the one between Long and Negredo. Please help me lads 🙂

    Forster (Jaku)
    Shaw - Gabriel - Morgan (Evans - Paredes)
    Hazard - Mkhitaryan - Özil - Sigurdsson (Fletcher)
    Aguero - Gray - Long/Negredo

      It's not "the one" because there's still over 2 weeks before the start of the season that will include transfers that could change the outlook 😉

        I guess you're right haha... But the team feels pretty good anyway :S

          wouldn't bother starting with Ozil IMO and you probably need better balance for strikers...also probably safer to start with a less-owned 4.5m mid

            Okey, what about this?

            Gabriel ---> N Taylor
            Özil --> Tadic
            Long/Negredo ---> Lukaku

              I'd prefer stumping up the 0.5m for Williams..other two look fine, but I think Tadic's position is up in the air..not sure though

                I would have done that if I had that 0.5m... Thanks for your opinions!
