Brentford Vs Tottenham Hotspur FPL: Who Hauled And What It Means
The call — Brentford 3-0 Spurs: Sangaré and Kayode take 14 apiece, Thiago blanks in a win Brentford beat Spurs 3-0 at the Gtech Community Stadium on 22 August. Three Brentford players hauled. One heavily-owned Brentford forward did not. M.Sangaré (£5.5m, MID) supplied two assists in 75 minutes, cleared the extra-defending line and took all three bonus. Fourteen points. Hardly anyone owns him…

Now the line most readers came for. Igor Thiago (£8.0m, FWD) played 82 minutes of a 3-0 win and scored zero points. No goal, no assist, no bonus. Owned by nearly 2 in 10. His side scored three times without him registering. That is a fact, not a verdict — one match, and the team around him is producing. Hold. Do not sell an £8.0m forward after one blank in a win.
On the Spurs side, Kinsky (£4.5m, GK, owned by about 2 in 10) made five saves and conceded three. Two points. Van Hecke (£5.0m, owned by about 1 in 10) took one point. Maddison came off after 22 minutes; no reason is on record, so we state only the minutes. Gallagher was booked in 45 minutes and blanked.
The decision. Sangaré tops our list from this match. £5.5m, two assists, maximum bonus, defensive-work points as a weekly base — he scores even when Brentford do not. At that price and that ownership, he is the buy. Kayode at £4.5m is the defender play: a goal plus clean-sheet money at the cheapest viable price. One gameweek is one gameweek; neither man finished the match, both came off on 75 minutes, and rotation in that midfield is documented above — Anthony, Yarmoliuk and Damsgaard all played under 25 minutes.
The call: buy Sangaré at £5.5m. Kayode at £4.5m if you need a defender. Hold Thiago. Spurs assets stay on your bench until they produce.
