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

    Say hypothetically, if for example Pedro passes the ball to Hazard and Hazard is fouled for a pen which he takes and scores, is it a Pedro assist or no assist?

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Demí
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      No assist

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      No assist

    5. Backup Dancer

      No assist, assuming Hazard takes the pen.

    6. makaveli123

      Yes, if Pedro is Lukaku

      Bet it was a dive.

    Jonny Evans has lasted 60 minutes

    1. makaveli123
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He decided to play longer than 60 minutes after leaving United.

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

        The pay per minute rate is lower at WBA so he have to play longer to sustain his standard of living.

    60 minutes gone.. do I bother to refresh my team to see the double clean sheet points added before a 89th minute consolation cruelly takes them away? 😀

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

      Never understood why they do that why not wait till the game is over and add them

      1. Backup Dancer
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Well a clean sheet is playing 60 minutes without conceding. So teeeeechnically...

        But yeah it's dumb.

    I always try to save FT if possible, my team for next week would be:
    Foster Walker Kosc Holebas
    Hazard Firm Cout Snod
    Kun Lukaku Austin
    Thoughts on saving FT?
    Also thinking of punting on Amat(Palace@ home) instead of Walker

    1. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      ?

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Why always save?

        1. Bleach †
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Because if I'd need to make more transfers later I could do it without a hit.

    A new chip idea for fpl : give the obligation to declare "gameweek horribilis" once a season : the season would only counts 37 gw for everyone.

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

      I'd need way more than 1 of those

    2. Hasselbaink Forever
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      So you lose points....

      1. Rider on the Storm
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        As long as everyone lose point once a season it would be ok for me

        1. Hasselbaink Forever
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Think i'll leave that chip unused!

    3. Coldplay
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Why would anyone ever play a chip thinking he's going to have a horrible week?

      1. Rider on the Storm
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah the chip should be played after or during the gw

    4. Kante Be Bothered
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      if somebody doesn't activate that chip he would have more points than a person who did activate it?

          independent events that have no correlation whatsoever with the BURvsMCI game

            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Not so sure that a sports teams games from one day/week to the next are independent events. Players get down from losing, bounce back from losing, get fired up from winning, get over-confident from winning, etc. It is hard to say.
