West Brom are the only team in the Premier League and EFL to have done this one thing

West Brom are the only team in the Premier League and EFL to have done this one thing.

The way West Bromwich Albion has started the championship season has received a lot of attention; Carlos Corberan has got the most out of his Baggies team thus far.

After five games, Albion had not lost, winning against Portsmouth, Stoke City, Swansea City, and Queens Park Rangers in addition to a crucial draw against Leeds United.
The Spaniard has been successful at the Hawthorns in the first few weeks of 24/25 by being reliable. The presence of key players has been significant in helping the Black Country outfit achieve those vital results.

Before this weekend’s matchup with Plymouth Argyle, Albion has been able to name the same starting eleven in each of their first five Championship games, a record that no other team can equal.

Carlos Corberan benefits from West Bromwich Albion consistency

The saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is one that Corberan has adhered to to the letter this season. He started the season’s opening game against QPR with the same starting lineup.

The players Alex Palmer, Darnel Furlong, Kyle Bartley, Semi Ajayi, Torbjørn Heggem, John Swift, Jayson Molumby, Alex Mowatt, Tom Fellows, Josh Maja, and Karlan Grant have been consistently good in domestic competition. Their run of games together has brought out the best in each other’s performances, and the Baggies have benefited from that consistent lineup.

A core group of players will strengthen their bonds and relationships as a group the more opportunities they have to play together, which will only help Albion grow over time.

Due to his early success, Mikey Johnston, a projected £3 million acquisition from Celtic, has not yet been able to force his way into the starting lineup. Instead, he must wait patiently while Grant and Fellows perform admirably out wide.

Corberan has also welcomed Maja’s return, who has been firing and fit after missing most of last season due to injury.

The hitman has scored five goals in as many Championship games, demonstrating how important he can be to the Baggies in the upcoming campaign. Everyone at the Hawthorns is hoping that his past injury problems don’t come back to harm him.

Burnley can learn from West Bromwich Albion lineup choices

While Corberan has consistently selected the same players, Scott Parker’s Burnley team is at the opposite end of the spectrum when it comes to player usage thus far this season. This is in contrast to a number of divisional opponents.

Even though the season has only had a few games, the Clarets have already used thirty players since the start of the campaign last month. This is due to a number of players coming and exiting from Turf Moor before the transfer market closed.

Many of the Lancashire team’s players from their 4-1 opener victory over Luton Town have left the club; Wilson Odobert, Vitinho, and Dara O’Shea, among others, left to pursue new opportunities before to the trade window closing.

Corberan hasn’t been afraid to switch things around in the lineup, even though he has started the same players every week. Thus far this season, 20 different players have made appearances.

The only teams that have fielded fewer players thus far are Sunderland and Coventry City, who both rely on just 19 stars. Nevertheless, no team can equal the Baggies for consistency from the off.
