I think the important choice is who starts with Hemed in attack?

From a defensive point of view I tend to favour Bong against conventional wingrs and Rosenoir against inverted wingers. As Arfield and Boyd swop over it is swings and roundabouts.

Going forward on the overlap, Bong looks a better bet, espeically as Albion attack more on the right and a quick switch allows the greater pace of Bong to run into space, and clearing down the wing is better for a natural left footer.

The other open question is who to choose on the right wing position. Rosenoir plays narrower and might be better defensively than the inverted Knockaert on the right hand side?

Like for like comparison


Heaton v Stockdale
Lowton v Bruno
Keane v Goldson
Mee v Dunk
Ward v Bong
Barton v Stephens
Jones v Kayal
Boyd v Murphy
Arfield v Rosenoir
Vokes v Hemed (Both have 40% chance of goal in 90 minutes)
Gray v Baldock/Zamora or another (Gray & Zamora have 70% chance of goal in 90 minutes) Lualua 40%, Baldock 20%, Wilson 40%.

NB; Boyd is left-footed and Arfield right footed although they swop wings.

So Boyd v Knockaert, Arfield v Murphy matches better.

Burnley team seems settled. Albion have options.

I woud like to see Lualua play more centrally and come up against Barton (like he did v QPR) from an entertainment point of view. It might be effective as well.

BZ set to miss Burnley game so we go ino the game with 2 strikers fit and 1 on the bench. The club obviously didnt learn from Bong and Rosenior and it is all down to Hemed and Wilson. ......................Sorry all is not lost we have Elvis back and avilable. for the bench.

Can't Skalak and Murphy also play up top? Thats 5 options.

While this is what I would like to see I think that Baldock will start ahead of Wilson, with his work rate he does cover in midfield.
Also Wilson will have more of an impact off the bench with his pace.
That said I have never got team selection right in the last forty years so why should I get it right now.
