Scout’s FPL half-term report: Brentford

The FPL restart coverage at Fantasy Football Scout continues with a half-term report of all 20 Premier League clubs’ seasons so far.

These reviews look at which players and teams are top of the class and who is on the Fantasy naughty step.

FPL bosses get unlimited transfers before Gameweek 17, so these articles will hopefully help you pinpoint some key targets for the Boxing Day resumption.

Next up is Brentford, who defeated Manchester City in the final round of matches thanks to an Ivan Toney double.

ATTACK: HALF-TERM REPORT

Thomas Frank’s side is currently tenth in the Premier League and there’s a mid-table theme to their attacking stats, ranking between ninth and 11th for goals scored, shots on target and expected goals (xG) amongst others.

A curious contradiction is seeing the Bees rank badly for total shots (18th) yet come fourth for big chances.

It suggests that they’re being instructed not to waste shots, as only Bournemouth have taken fewer from outside the box than their 41.
