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

    despite a bad week, I am pretty happy with my team. 2FT will be handy next week.

    Heaton
    Morgan/ Stones/ Evans
    Firmino/ Hazard/ Redmond/ Coutinho
    Aguero/Lukaku/Defoe

    4.0/Allen /Walker/ Amat

    1FT 1.2 ITB

    a) save
    b) Walker to Cedric (leaving enough funds for Kane)
    c) Allen to DeRoon (leaving enough funds for Kane)

        1. Champione
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          yeah looks good on paper

    1. Hybrid.power

    Come on Evans. How did you miss that?

    1. Slam
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He actually had a chance? 😮

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He actually went forward yes

      2. Licious Lizard
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He should have had an assist tonight at least.

  6. Champione
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Heaton Pickford
    Walker Lovren Holebas McAuley Amat
    Hazard Coutinho Firmino Mata Gundogan
    Aguero Lukaku Austin

    A) Lukaku -> Costa
    B) Walker > Alonso
    C) Lukaku + Gundogan > Anichebe + KDB/Sanchez -4 (352)

    Thanks in advance

    Certainly happy with the Brunt purchase. Looks promising

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Agree, one of those weeks a WBA defence double up was always going to be a success

      1. Gamst - Up (?) the Rovers
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Well I lost faith and played one from each. Foster o the bench, McAuley and Heaton playing.

    2. M.A.G
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      How did he look ? missed the match

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Very good. On corners, FKs and pretty advanced whipping in crosses all match

        1. M.A.G
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Doubling up with McAuley is the way to go i think..

          Is Nyom Nailed ?

    3. RMA
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Almost on BPS with no goals/assists. Fingers crossed he doesn't get shifted back.

      1. John Nerdelbaum
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        can't see him changing up the team

        1. I Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Someone has to lose their place to Chadli.

      2. TLF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Surely he is nailed now at the very least ? Even if he does get shifted back still on set pieces I guess....I have been deliberating Cedric v Holebas for this week's move but I think Brunt may be the man to bring on board instead

    9 years, 3 months ago

    You know your having a bad gw when you cheered for a Heaton save point like it was a goal 😀

    1. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You sure they are counting the last one as a save?

    2. Smarty Pants
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      doesn't look like they will give him the last save, the shot wasn't on target

  20. Kaneyonero

      39-4=35 for me. Capoue laughing at me on the bench. I will play him next week as I won't sell Allen.

  21. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    West brom defence owners unite

    1. Cojiro
      • 11 Years

      Double owner! Hallelujah!

  22. Az

    • 16 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Coll, benched Pickford but Foster delivered.

    33 points with Capoue off the bench, but a FT saved.. roll on next GW.

    1. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      As iv lost count on Chilli Bowl, we both own so many West Brom defenders haha

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        we have two Capoue auto-subs to come in which may swing it our way..
        going to be close though! I thought we had it in the bag, and my maths was well off!

        1. FPL Maldini
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          To be honest I assumed we lost after yesterday.

          2 sub Capoue? That could be the winner, close one after today I think

        2. ONSIDE 9
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I did some calculations before tonight and ye were up by 6 with a Heaton and brunt while we had two fosters.

          If my sums were right it's level, but I could be wrong, very close though.

  23. Robe Wan

    Triple West Brom defence 😎

    1. Licious Lizard
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

  24. SW6
    • 13 Years

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years

    2. white lightning

  25. ⚽️ Dingo ⚽️
    • 9 Years

    Heaton over Pickford last minute! Fail! 7 points feels like a brace this GW.

  26. Fpl Old Guard
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I was on 16 points for the, but had foster nyom and fletcher (of the bench due to lallana not playing), now got 40 points assumign nyom gets 1 bonus. Cant believe this game sometimes..............

    THANK FUCHS this week is over

  29. King Klopp
    • 9 Years

    Will Heaton get subbed for Foster?

  30. Darth_Newdar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Pickford and Fletcher my two highest point scorers, and both on my bench.

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Capoue is mine, 2nd bench. Stones not playing meant it wouldn't have made a difference anyway, but at least Evans is coming off the bench to be my top scorer. Lol at this GW.
