Brentford have launched a partnership with Fantasy Football Scout to provide guidance for the 2026/27 Fantasy Premier League season. The club’s unbeaten start to the Premier League campaign, which sees them sitting fourth with 10 points, has been boosted by several FPL-relevant performances.
Fantasy Football Scout said the collaboration will "use its expertise to provide information, advice and Gameweek picks that could help you stay on top of your mini-leagues." The announcement comes fresh off a 2-2 draw with Aston Villa last weekend, a result that extended Brentford's unbeaten run. The team's recent form, with two wins and three draws from their first six matches, will be tested in their next fixture against a Manchester City side they trail by eight points in the standings.
Player contributions in Gameweek 6
Yehor Yarmoliuk was Brentford's top-scoring FPL asset in that match, registering eight points after scoring the opening goal. The midfielder also earned a bonus point. Defender Kristoffer Ajer, priced at £4.5m, netted a late equaliser and recorded nine defensive actions. Vitaly Janelt, valued at £5.0m, was the only Brentford player to reach the defensive contribution threshold, adding eight points from his 14 defensive actions to his season tally. He is now the club's second-highest points scorer this term.
Other players made contributions in the Villa Park draw. Jaidon Anthony provided the assist for Ajer's goal for a five-point return, while Igor Thiago also registered an assist for four points. Mamadou Sangaré managed 11 defensive actions in his 43-minute appearance. You can review the full squad's contributions on the club's stats page.
Janelt's underlying numbers
Janelt's value extends beyond a single gameweek. Across the opening six matches, the midfielder has registered 78 defensive actions, averaging 13 per game. He has also shown an attacking threat, taking four shots this season with three from inside the box and two classified as big chances. Janelt has created five chances, supplied 13 crosses and taken nine corners, with seven finding their target.
Kevin Schade remains the club's highest FPL points scorer this season with three goals in six appearances. The team's strong start, which includes a 3-0 win over Chelsea, is reflected in the standings where they are just eight points behind leaders Manchester City.
The partnership aims to highlight such data for FPL managers.
