Who I think are the best Brentford players in FPL for Gameweek 10 onwards

After a high-variance, polarising week for many Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, we must now look ahead to Gameweek 10 and the new challenges it brings.

There are plenty of opportunities to make up ground lost in Gameweek 9 and I would like to talk about a team that have impressed me to no end this season: Brentford.

The Bees sit 12th in the Premier League table with 12 points, which is about what you would expect from a ‘good’ promoted side. However, the underlying numbers have not just been good, they’ve been great.

Before that, I would like to provide some context by mentioning that they were second bottom of the Season Ticker from Gameweeks 1-9.

However, let’s look ahead now to the next nine weeks:

Brentford sit right at the very top of the Scout ticker for the next nine Gameweeks. Gameweek 10 is a great entry point too, as the below image shows that their next three opponents, Burnley, Norwich and Newcastle. are in the bottom three for non-penalty expected goals conceded (xGC) this season.

Let’s have a look at Brentford’s attacking numbers over the last four Gameweeks. For context, they have played Liverpool, West Ham, Chelsea and Leicester over the aforementioned period. All four of these teams finished in the top six last season:

    a) Rudi > Chilwell

    2. Mambino

      Roll

    3. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Be tempted to move Christensen to Chilwell personally

      1. TheBiffas
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Short on funds

  6. Tomsk
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Any chance Cancelo will take Man City penalties if Mahrez not on pitch? (De Bruyne never seems keen to take them).

    1. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looked good last night. But I'd probably say Jesus or KDB

    2. TheBiffas
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      you're dreaming

    3. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      There's always a chance, but I would say incredibly small

    4. SINGH
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No, KDB is first and then Gundo followed by Mahrez

      1. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Not sure where you're getting your info from, but Mahrez is first not 3rd choice and has been for a while.

        1. SINGH
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          From the fantasy football app under set piece takers

          "Kevin De Bruyne has taken all of Manchester City's Premier League penalties when he has been fit and available but Riyad Mahrez stepped up to take one in the Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund in April, a match that also featured De Bruyne."

          1. St Pauli Walnuts
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Exactly, "Riyad Mahrez stepped up to take one in the Champions League tie against Borussia Dortmund in April, a match that also featured De Bruyne." ... and Mahrez has taken them ever since, with KDB again on the pitch for several of them. He took them against RB Leipzig and Brugge this season with KDB there. No one else has taken a pen for City since Mahrez took one in April.

    5. Tomsk
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Jesus, Gundogan, Sterling, Foden, Rodri, De Bruyne have all missed penalties. Grealish didn’t take in shootouts for England. I can see Cancelo getting a chance.

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 4 Years

        Are you serious?

        1. Zimo

          No he's Tomsk

            Ah, was looking for something serious. Guess a fling will have to do for now 😉

    Sanchez

    TAA James Cancelo Livramento
    Salah (c) Havertz Gray
    Antonio Vardy Jimenez

    Steele Sarr Semedo Sissoko

    1FT, 0.6m ITB

    Leaning towards rolling FT but any of these moves worth considering?

    A: Jimenez & Sarr > Hwang & Foden (-4)
    B: Jimenez & Semedo > Toney & Chilwell (-4)
    C: Sarr > Mbuemo (if fit)
    D: roll

    1. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Personally I'd roll, maybe even start Sarr ahead of Livra?

      1. Pukki Pies
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Toying with that one, could easily get it wrong! to be fair Livramento isn't going to score every week so maybe Sarr is the option this week

        1. Mona Lisa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I just always favour the attacker. Unless the defender is a full back in top 3.

          1. Pukki Pies
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            I would usually but I've totally lost confidence in Sarr

  8. Champions League Varane

  9. KirkhamWesham

    Seeing as though I can't fit Foden in for free, should I roll ft?

    Did Foden rise last night??

    1. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nope

      1. BrockLanders
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Unbelievable. That's 2 nights on the bounce 100.4% and no rise

        1. WVA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yet Toney has risen twice recently after scoring 2,2,2 lol

    2. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years

      Nah. He got an early night

      1. Gazwaz80

        Foden down to 98.4% now….

  11. Mambino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    All those moves are worth considering but I'd probably just about roll

    Wildcard looks good to go, thoughts?

    Foster Sanchez
    James Cancelo Chilwell Trent Livra
    Son Foden Salah Jota Mbeumo
    Broja Antonio Toney

    1. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Benching Livra, Mbeumo & Broja? 4-4-2.

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Keeper?

        1. Mona Lisa
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I assume he'll rotate depending on fixtures?

    2. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Too many players that might not play and not a bench that would cover that scenario

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Do you not think a bench of livra, Mbeumo and broja is strong enough to cover?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It's a great bench - all players I'd drop to the bench with dep regret.

        2. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          It's slightly high risk IMO to have all four of Foden, Jota, James, Chilwell. Cancello is a bit of a risk too moving forwards despite playing all games so far and Mbeumo on a yellow flag

    3. BrockLanders
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good. Proper benching headaches though

      1. Eze Really?
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Never understood "benching headache"
        You actually have the benefit of greater choice.
        We cannot help ourselves getting upset when there are points on the bench.
        Think of it you have 11 players and 4 subs.

      2. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but that’s built by design due to jota, James, Foden etc being rotation risks

        If you break my bench down price points it doesn’t feel bad

        4.0 gk, 4.0 def, 5.5mid, 5.0 striker

        And gives me some decent flexibility

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          This^

    4. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Worse case scenario.
      Foster Cancelo James Chilwell Foden Jota Broja benched (smile).

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Haha id be very unlucky if that happened in one week

        1. Andy_Social
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Agree. The realistic worst case scenario is that 3 outfield players are rested, which is why 3 decent subs take the risk away.

          1. Eze Really?
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            It is a "micky take Andy.

            1. Andy_Social
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Sure - Mambino isn't joking though. Last season there was one GW towards the end where I had 3 City and Pep benched them all.

              1. Mambino
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                Yes, I am not joking Andy, but I am on the risk averse side. It isn't that it's not a strong bench, just that I could see 4-5 players potentially not playing and whilst it is less than probable it is more than possible. I would only pick one of Chilly or James and one of Jota or Foden for that reason, but it is a squad that could easily smash it if that doesn't happen.

                1. Goonsquad245
                  • 8 Years
                  3 years, 1 month ago

                  Your bench replacement is irrelevant for Jota because he basically never plays 0 minutes.

                  1. Mambino
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 11 Years
                    3 years, 1 month ago

                    Yes, that's true - same with James actually but good chance of 1-pointers with those cameos

        2. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Have you not been on the wrong side of Murphy's law for FPL luck? (Only joking)

    5. Pukki Pies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm regretting getting James personally. I think he's great when he plays and there's always the chance of a haul, but if h's benched he seems always comes on. So having a good bench is irrelevant because you have to start him anyway, and could end up with 1 pt. If I was you I'd get Rudiger instead but that's just my 2c.

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Alonso & Brownhill -> TAA & Mount

        I dont really care at this point if Alonso starts this weekend, I brought him in just as he was dropped, so 3 blanks, and he was never staying in my squad for this upcoming GW!

        150k rank drop last gw to 600k was rought pill to swallow as well!

        1. WVA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I dont think Alonso will start, he cant be trusted, rubbish defender. TAA and Mount should be great

  16. rdpx
    • 13 Years

    Is it worth putting in SmithRowe or Kovacic?

    Gallagher needs to go but I can just bench him this week so it's not urgent

    1. Rog.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Palace decent fixtures for the next four after city might be worth a hold if you have anything to do elsewhere

  17. Raf
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Keep alonso or go sideways? Rudi etc

    1. rdpx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      He doesn't seem to be getting any games at the moment so changing him for someone who is would seem to make sense

    2. Raf
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Rudi, James or chilwell?

      1. rdpx
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Rudiger has most minutes & points

        1. WVA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Hey? Missed one game through injury, first defender on team sheet, got a clean sheet and assist last week.

        2. WVA
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Apologies saw lost not most.

      2. Lightning Bolt
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        i just did alonso > chilwell after keeping him 3 gw

    3. WVA
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      You need to sell Alonso

    4. Rog.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely get rid. I’d do chilwell or James just find them more exciting to own. Obviously slightly more rotation risk.

      1. Raf
        • 15 Years

        That’s great advice thanks guys

    5. lilmessipran

      Get rid for sure.. Chilly the obvious replacement

  18. WVA

    Son (MUN)

    Very torn. Head says stick with Sarr due to the possible United bounce back. Also always nice to have 2 FTs. But Son upside higher?

      If you have the cash I'd do it for free. I'm a Sarr owner and am concerned about his minutes under Ranieri.

    Sorry if I've missed it, but what is the latest injury update with Lukaku please?

    I can see FPL states 'unknown' but are there any rumours?

    Thanks
