Seven of Albion's Championship rivals face penalties for breaking Financial Fair Play rules.
Leeds, Blackburn, Nottingham Forest, Bolton, Bournemouth, Birmingham and Middlesbrough will be hit by sanctions, according to reports.
So too will Leicester and QPR, two of the clubs promoted last season to the Premier League.
Leeds are expected to be worst hit of the Championship clubs after racking up heavy losses.
Punishments for clubs failing to toe the Financial Fair Play line include fines and a transfer embargo.
Leeds are currently 16th in the table, Bolton 17th and Birmingham 19th.
Nottingham Forest, Blackburn, Middlesbrough and Bournemouth are all in the top ten.
Albion confirmed last week they have fallen within the FFP boundaries.
Supporters derived little comfort from the announcement, with the club languishing in the relegation zone under Sami Hyypia.
Albion reluctantly agreed last month to back a huge rise in future losses allowed by Championship clubs as part of changes to the FFP rules.
