Mamadou Sangare - Decent overall outing again Sangare recorded three shots (zero on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Sangare was the heartbeat of Brentford's midfield in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Leeds, directly involved in the buildup to Kevin Schade's opener by sweeping the ball to Jaidon Anthony before picking it up again and finding Keane Lewis-Potter for the decisive cross, while also registering three shots, four tackles (three won) and three interceptions across 90 minutes. He dictated Brentford's tempo from deep and helped the Bees dominate the opening 45 minutes against a well-organized Leeds defense. Sangare now has four shots, four chances created, six tackles and five interceptions across Brentford's opening two Premier League matches, confirming his status as one of the division's most promising midfielders.

Nathan Collins - Three shots in draw Collins generated three shots (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.

Impact Collins dominated aerially in Sunday's 1-1 draw at Leeds, registering three shots including one on goal from set-piece situations, most notably beating Ethan Ampadu to Vitaly Janelt's deep corner to loop the ball back toward goal, while also making two interceptions, nine clearances and two tackles as Brentford's defensive leader. He was part of a back line that kept Leeds largely at bay for the majority of the match, with the hosts' only shot of note coming from James Justin before Dominic Calvert-Lewin's late tap-in. Collins now has five shots, 12 clearances and two interceptions across Brentford's opening two Premier League matches as one of the division's most attack-minded center-backs.

Igor Thiago - Five shots against Leeds United Thiago registered five shots (two on goal) and two crosses (zero accurate) in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Thiago was Brentford's most persistent attacking threat at Elland Road, registering five shots including two on goal across 90 minutes, opening the match with an early back-post volley straight at James Trafford before heading Dango Ouattara's cross against Trafford's palms in the 79th minute with the goal at his mercy. He also delivered two crosses and nearly restored Brentford's lead instantly after Dominic Calvert-Lewin's equalizer but could only turn Trafford's parried save into the side netting at full stretch. Thiago now has two shots on goal from two Premier League appearances this season without yet opening his account for the campaign.

Keane Lewis-Potter - Provides assist in draw Lewis-Potter assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), six crosses (two accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Lewis-Potter delivered the assist on Kevin Schade's 41st minute opener with a precise near-post cross that Schade flicked into the far corner, before producing a superb piece of recovery defending to force Dan James into a wild shot high and wide after the Welsh winger had been played through on goal. He registered one shot, six crosses of which two were accurate and one corner across 88 minutes before being replaced by Rico Henry. Lewis-Potter now has one assist and one goal from Brentford's opening two Premier League matches and his defensive contribution late in Sunday's game was arguably the key moment in preserving Brentford's point.

Kevin Schade - Scores first goal of season Schade scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Leeds United.

Impact Schade scored Brentford's opener with a sublime flick from Keane Lewis-Potter's near-post delivery in the 41st minute for his first Premier League goal of the season, before being denied what appeared to be a penalty in the second half when Jayden Bogle appeared to step on his foot as he went down inside the box. He finished with three shots including one on goal and one chance created across 88 minutes before being replaced by Aaron Hickey. Schade now has one goal from his opening two Premier League appearances.

Caoimhin Kelleher - One save in comfortable draw Kelleher had one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Leeds United.

Impact Kelleher was largely a spectator in Sunday's 1-1 Premier League draw at Leeds, making his only save of the match when he denied James Justin's 25-yard strike after the left-back cut inside in the second half. He was beaten only by Dominic Calvert-Lewin's tap-in with 11 minutes remaining, a goal that arrived from a Lukas Nmecha cross rather than any individual error. Kelleher now has one clean sheet and one goal conceded across Brentford's opening two Premier League matches of the 2026/27 season.

Impact Yarmolyuk provided an assist in Tuesday's 6-1 Carabao Cup win over Birmingham before being withdrawn in the 48th minute as his workload continues to be managed.

Igor Thiago - Misses penalty in opener Thiago registered two shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 win versus Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Thiago had a golden opportunity to score in Saturday's season opener, but his penalty attempt in the 55th minute hit the left post and ricocheted out of harms way. It's an unfortunate way to start the season for Thiago despite the big win, as that moment was really the only negative in Brentford's otherwise dominant win. On the bright side, the Brentford attack looked potent and completely in sync versus Spurs, so Thiago should have plenty of opportunities to finish off attacks this season.

Kevin Schade - Five shots in opener Schade registered five shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Schade was very active in Saturday's season opener but was unable to join in on the score sheet despite his team-high five shot attempts. He also managed one chance created on the attack. Despite not scoring, Schade should have plenty of opportunities as the season progresses based on how potent the Brentford attack looked on Saturday. The attack looked completely in sync and should provide Schade lots of chances to score goals this season.

Mamadou Sangare - Assists opener Saturday Sangare assisted once to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

It was one of two chances he created in the match and he also put one shot on target. He helped shut down Tottenham's attack as well, contributing two interceptions and two clearances before he was replaced by Mikkel Damsgaard in the 76th minute.

Impact Lewis-Potter scored Brentford's first goal of the season Saturday, a strike in the 12th minute assisted by Mamadou Sangare. It was one of two shots he took in the match and he also managed four crosses and one chance created on the attack.

Impact Janelt found the back of the net in Saturday's season opener, an unassisted strike in the 33rd minute. Despite finding the back of the net he was even more impressive from a creative perspective as he recorded four accurate crosses and created two chances on the attack. He helped his side keep a clean sheet as well, contributing four interceptions, three tackles, one clearance and one blocked shot in his full 90 minutes of action.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Michael Kayode - Scores in season opener Kayode scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Kayode had a strong start to the season as he scored an unassisted goal in the 49th minute to take the commanding 3-0 lead just after halftime. It was one of four shots he took in the match, an impressive number as he took multiple shots just once in the Premier League last season. He played well on the defensive end too as he made three interceptions and one clearance before he was subbed off in the 76th minute for Aaron Hickey.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Caoimhin Kelleher - Keeps clean sheet in opener Kelleher had four saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 3-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur.

Impact Kelleher had a strong start to the new season, making four saves to keep Spurs at bay in the season opener. Much of the credit goes to his defense as Spurs found it very difficult to break through and truly test Kelleher. He'll look to keep the momentum going Sunday at Leeds.
