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

    This is not ideal for Bruntinho's 3 baps

    That's a better finish than it looks

  6. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

  7. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Good good, keep piling on the Heaton negatives. But useless Burnley need to grab a consolation too.

  8. Respect My Authoritah

      Rondon

  11. Paulie Walnuts
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    any suggestions for this lot?

    Foster / Jakupovic
    Stones / Evans / Pieters / Smith / Amat
    Walcott / Sterling / Firmino / Sanchez / Barry
    Aguero / Lukaku / Austin

      Sterling -> Siggy
      Lukaku -> Costa

      ?
      I'd probably save the second trade if I were you though considering Costa's YC count and the fact he's going up against Spurs' defence. But I am bias.

      1. Paulie Walnuts
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        what about Pedro for the same cost as siggy?

    Friend who probably spend less than 5 minutes on FPL site this week played Capoue and Phillips. I don't even know why I try anymore.

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      George?

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

        Nah, George is dead to me.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

    1. Respect My Authoritah
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You'd get about 2.5 points

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

  21. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Argh why did I play Heaton over Pickford!?

  22. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Heaton thought he was playing for England.

    1. Jay_
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Auditioning for Bravos City spot

    2. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Heaton sold himself in his FPL team this week?

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        thought he'd cash in and get Pickford?

    3. TSILIKAFENEIAKOS
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Alexis , Coutinho, Hazard , Allen , Gundogan
      Kun, Kaku, Austin

      Need a re-shuffle so I don't mind taking hits.

      A. Allen, Gundogan , Kaku --> Defoe, Firminho, cheap mid for 5th (Morrison, De Roon)
      B. Kaku, Allen --> Costa and cheap mid
      I don't like B because Costa has two difficult match where a card is likely and also Gundo becomes my 4th mid and is not nailed.

    4. liiusions
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Will Chadli not take Brunts place when he's back?

      1. Bellerinmondo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        probably yes but Brunt may move back to LB

      2. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Brunt could play in defence

      3. Respect My Authoritah
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe. Maybe Phillips. Maybe Morrison. Maybe Nyom

    5. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      How is Brunt looking

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

        He needs a shave.

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          3 for a point

    6. Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Only did 2 things I did right this week, played Pickford over Cech and started Capoue. Everthing else just awful

      1. Heavy Data
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        i played heaton over pickford and sold capoue. FML

    7. Ziro
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Need a few dozen Foster saves.

      1. Jay_
          9 years, 3 months ago

          It's either 6 points or 2 for him. Nothing in between. Burnley set piece the only danger of conceding.

      2. FPL Panda

        Who's on pens for wba tonight ??

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

          Brunt I hope

      3. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        My sense of humour is so bad, everytime I hear Mee I can't help but laugh. All the commentators don't want to say his name 'And it's Mee bringing the ball forward for Burnley again.'
