West Brom have enjoyed large amounts of possession in their last two away games in the Premier League. They had 50% of possession at Old Trafford and 51% against Arsenal. Blackpool also seem to retain the ball well, they enjoyed 55% possession at home to Man City and 53% against Blackburn.
If Blackpool can maintain their possession rate then it'll be best to pick 3 Tangerines. If West Brom can get approx. 50% then it won't matter which way you split your 5 (although a 3/2 split, either way, would tend to be better than a 4/1 or 5/0).
Crainey and Adam are first on my list for Blackpool having scored 315 points between them in their last two Picklive appearances. Vaughan pips Eardley for me for the third spot as I fancy Blackpool to do a little more attacking than West Brom. For the same reason I'll be going for Jara and Mulumbu rather than Brunt or Morrison. Tamas and Shorey are decent contenders too.
Update: Adam is a major injury doubt so I'll be waiting until near kick-off to finalise my line-up. If Adam doesn't start then I'll be picking 3 West Brom players such is the Captain's importance to Blackpool.
