The Baggies player has been a stellar performer for his team and has the ability to give great attacking returns. He has been one of the most prolific defenders in the league statistically with 3 goals and as many assists. Tony Pulis’ teams are also more often than not defensively sound and West Brom are no exception to this. With a good bunch of fixtures coming up for them, it will be useful to have coverage from the Baggies backline.

A fixture against Stoke City at home looks promising for West Brom who have the ability to shutdown defences. Brunt’s offensive prowess and long range shooting are an added asset which gets him on this list.

Next 3 fixtures: Stoke(H), West Ham(A), Bournemouth(A)
