Monitor – Chris Brunt

621 Comments
Share

A weekend strike against Sunderland took Chris Brunt’s tally to three goals and as many assists in just 13 starts for West Brom this season.

Yet the Irishman’s bandwagon has failed to materialise mainly due to the continued popularity of four-goal team-mate Gareth McAuley, who now resides in 27.9% of Fantasy Premier League squads after grabbing a 12-point tally against the Black Cats.

Often utilised as a winger by Tony Pulis this season, Brunt has netted twice in the last three Gameweeks despite a shift to left-back. Even more impressively, a goal involvement rate of 28.6% when on the pitch is higher than any regular backline option this season.

Considering his classification as a defender in FPL, we assess his latest displays to see just what effect his stint in the Baggies back-four has had on the underlying numbers.

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

    I love the transparency Conte & Klopp have in the transfer window. As an Arsenal fan I'm annoyed by Wenger's secrecy that lets the media 'feed us' with 100% speculation and zero facts.

      Bet you weren't annoyed at the secrecy when they announced that they'd signed Ozil and Sanchez.

        The only 2 clues we had fom Wenger back then were ''Sure, I'd like to have someone like Sanchez in my team'' as an answer to his co-commentator's question during the WC and that evil smile after being asked about Özil 🙂

        Henry and Carragher have been discussing this, he doesn't want to go to Italy, Bayern don't need him, Real and Barcelona are out of the question, there's not many bigger clubs doing better than Arsenal left and they know it.

          I'm seriously considering Coleman next week to go along side Alonso, Brunt and Rose. It is risky though....I'm surprised you would be willing to take a chance on 4 or 5 at the back with your rank !

                I got him at 4.9

              Mind casting your eye over my team a couple below? I've been thinking of jettisoning Jones for Funes Mori / Williams after Hull because of that...

          He's played in something like 12 out of their last 13 league games, they've only kept 3 clean sheets in those games, not great really even if his price is nice.

    Hi all

    Taking Kaku out for Giroud after this week - going to roll my FT.

    Here's what that'll end up like:

    What do I do with the 2nd FT I'll have? Amat to Holgate, presuming he keeps his spot? Or keep an FT in reserve again?

    Thanks!

      Amat to Holgate or a more secure budget 5th defender from a team with a game in GW26 and GW28 (hopefully one will emerge after the weekends cup games)

        Cheers buddy - yeah I had initially had KdB going out for Eriksen but now keeping hold seems to be a better move. Ideally I'd want 2 Spurs but I can't see a way to do it without sacrificing many guys who don't seem worth removing.

        Hoping Holgate gets another game 🙂 if that happens, then I'm all good

          Yes Lukaku is a very good buy with no blanks.
          Maybe Amat to Holgate if it looks like he will keep his place. Could also get Nyom too.

          Jones to Mori also a option.
          Williams for assured safety of starts.

          I have chambers and Jones and most likely getting Mori and Brunt in place of them soon

            I did have Nyom, swapped him for Brunt last week when it looked like he wasn't going to play. Which worked out well!

            Think Mori is a good choice, but if Koeman keeps doing the 5-3-2 with Holgate that's amazing value...

            Will have to see what Jones' security is like on the next gw 🙂

            Thanks for your advice, Phil!

          Maybe kdB to Eriksen before the blank, but i'd be tempted to bench him, Jones and Sanchez in GW26, and do Ibra to Costa (in three weeks time) to complete your blank week 11.

            That's probably what I'm going to do, although obviously I want maximum information before making my trades.

            I'll be fine with just 10 players or so that week - I think my ML (which is my main driving factor over OR) will be mostly ignorant of the blanks and could well be fielding 6-7 players that week on average, so as close to 11 as possible!

            Cheers dude.

          Timing is everything I guess, thought they looked good against Spurs and should have won.

          Lucky goals count the same as pens or 30 yard screemers, also have Alli and the temptation for Eriksen is strong but got a feeling KDB against Swansea could be good.

    After the many formations shuffling by the managers, it seems that there are emergence of full backs as wingers of late.

    Many players classified as DEF have now function as MID, and even deliver well than the classified MIDs.

    So i am daring myself to try a new formation next GW. On paper it is a 5-3-2 but by function it serves as a 2-5-3 (or even 0-6-4 by function if u r smart enough to slot in 5 fullbacks n MIDs playing as FORs)
    It's like using AOA chip without actually using it.

    Simply play 5 defs with at least 3 of them are of alonso/baines/coleman/rose/walker/brunt.

    Further more, since CS are more predictable than the first half of the season, those fullbacks give extra points not only while scoring/assist (which is a plus point), but also during CS (of course their core purpose). By helping their team to attack, they actually keep the opponent to spend time on defending.

    The setback of this is we are not sure how long will the managers will keep on deploying their fullback as wingers.

    Have you got the same thinking in mind?

      Playing defenders who are OOP or justwith the greater attacking potential has always been apparent. Seeing it as a 2-5-3 or 0-6-4 just over complicates things in my mind, but yeah this is a good way of helping to visualise that. Still McAuley over Brunt for me though. Had him since GW1, will still have him in GW38.

        The key move here is playing 5 def.

        Yes, i do agree that it helps to visualize.

        But more to it, it has potential to deliver more points than the usual 3-4-3 or 4-4-2.
