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

    Kevin Mirallas is FPL Gold when he actually plays. 🙂

      Shhh. If he's nailed and Benteke moves I'm in love with my team

      1. Arctic monkeys
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Thing is, you are never so sure Mirallas is nailed.

    Alright guys, here's my first draft - rip it to shreds if you please!

    Foster/Heaton
    Terry Shaw Taylor Friend McCauley
    Mkhitaryan Siggy Hazard Puncheon Capoue
    Aguero Sturridge Long

    Need to swap McCauley for another 4.5 mid but who?
    Midfield could be better?

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

      Spoke to a pool fan today who thinks Firmino might be played up top rather than Sturridge

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

        Your mate is a wum

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

        Lol

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

          It's not impossible when we play 433

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

            Not impossible but I highly doubt it with Sturridge and Origi.

      3. Frank Black
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Absolutely possible...if Sturridge is injured.

    2. Matsy123
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Keep macauley, terry to gabriel, puncheon to townsend

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

        I've already got the West Brom keeper so i don't want to double up there.

    I know that nobody here really plays the Sun Dream Team game but here's my team anyway.

    - You also get points for European and Cup games in this format, as well as Premier League games.
    - Points are awarded for WhoScored ratings(I know, weird right).
    - Also 4-4-2 & 4-3-3 are the only available formations.

    Foster;
    Bellerín, Blind, Shaw, Stones;
    de Bruyne, Özil, Mkhitaryan, Fischer;
    Agüero, Kane.

    Full £50m budget used, Fischer is just £0.5m before you ask me to remove him 😛

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

      People that study Whoscored ratings and understand which players they suit will win this

  4. OLE BOLEH!
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    gray vs wilson . who wins this one?

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

      Wilson for me

    2. Gryffindoor
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Gray

      1. OLE BOLEH!
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        the score is 1-1

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Don't rate them both at this stage tbh, maybe because I'm not following enough pre-season games. I'd add 1 mil and go for Austin or Long.

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

        They're the same price as Austin and Long

        1. Arctic monkeys
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Oops, then they're so much better as options.

        2. Gryffindoor
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I dont know if its just fond memories of a few seasons ago but I still think Austin could be great value this year

          1. n-doggg
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Long and Austin aren't nailed though...

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

              One of them is 🙂

    4. Shearer & Sutton
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Wilson

  5. Gryffindoor
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 4 months ago

    Are there any 4.0 defenders that will actually play?

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

      Not currently

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

      Everyone take him out! More of a diff for me 😎

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Last year it was Hazard ...

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

          Alright then. Take Aguero out of your team

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

          But he is Sergio Agüero

          1. Eden Hazardous
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            and the bloke was Eden Hazard. If I don't see him fit and fine before GW 1 , I am not paying 13m for him.

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

              At your own peril. 🙂

                • 11 Years
                9 years, 4 months ago

                That's what they said about Hazard.. 😉

      What's wrong?

      Oh God he's so tanned now! 😮

      1. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ

        Maybe annoyed he forgot the sun cream as well then

      2 weeks of fitness training, and he'll be as slim and sexy as me. They will already be on it, they will monitor his input and output. He will be ready for the big off!

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

    Thoughts on this as a 3-5-2?

    Mahrez Martial Firmino Ayew Townsend
    Kun Tekkers (at palace) 4.5

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

      Lovely.

      Although I wouldn't double up in attack with a team like Palace

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

        Good shout actually. Townsend 4.5 to Capoue Wilson then

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

      Those 3 look non existent

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

        Lol. *as the attacking part of a 3-5-2

    3. Arctic monkeys
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good, but it's going to be difficult to get premium attackers if they start scoring goals.

    4. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If you are going big in midfield then really need to get hazard and/or KdB

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

        I disagree, respectfully 🙂

        1. n-doggg
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Fair enough. More price rises for me when everyone scrambles to get them in GW2 and 3!

    5. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      4.5M striker is a -8 coming.

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

    Quick voting shootout lads!

    A) KdB (SUN, stk, WHM)

    or

    B) Hazard (WHM, wat, BUR)

    1. Lingardium Leviosa.
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. OLLY G
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Kevin

    3. SwissGuinness
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      If you have Kun, then B.

    4. n-doggg
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      I have both

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

        Want both but that means losing one of Mkhi/Mahrez

        1. n-doggg
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Yep. Lose mkh

    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.

  10. bmor

    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

  11. 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

    5. Bubz

      Seriously?

        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

  12. Blurryface
    • 9 Years

    Whats sot team today?

  13. 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.

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

        Because of leicester having 2nd season sydrome and UCL?

          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.

                I dunno. He missed 2 though

    2. Bubz

      I do

    3. Däzzy
      • 9 Years

      Think he could defo make top 10

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

        I only saw your answer just now. Made me smile

    5. Clump

      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)

    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.

  16. 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

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

  18. Scab

    Having a hard time deciding between:

    A) Tadic
    B) Redmond
    C) Ayew

    Give me clarity boys!

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

        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
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Agree but one to look out for

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        he's been having passport problems which is why he is not there

    2. Jafooli
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      How much he?

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

      Is that Fryers £4.0m?

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

        Not in fpl yet

    If you join a mini league part way through a season, I take it you go in on the points you already have ? Could be a stupid q

    1. All Hail K
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years

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

      • 15 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      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

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        there isn't one. Robson, academy player is next in line. Decent from what I've seen. Played away vs Watford last game of season. Not sure why he's not on FPL, we only have 17 players listed in total.

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

          I noticed that. I'm sure that lad will come in at 4.0.

          Hope Pva is OK though. A fantasy legend himself
