Nathan Collins - Regular starter in debut season Collins (undisclosed) made 32 appearances (29 starts) for Brentford during the 2023/24 Premier League season, racking up one goal, one assist, 129 clearances, 44 interceptions and...

Impact Collins recorded several career-high marks in his first year with Brentford and was a reliable presence at the back for the Bees despite ending the season injured. It remains to be seen what kind of squad movements Brentford will make in terms of new signings, but Collins should remain a regular fixture in the first team for 2024/25.

Ivan Toney - Logs assist in loss Toney made an assist, had four shots (two on target) and drew three fouls during Sunday's 4-2 loss against Newcastle.

Impact Toney couldn't put to an end his three-month scoring drought but at least helped teammates scoring as his was the pass that led to Yoane Wissa's goal in the 70th minute. After finishing his campaign with just four goals and two assists over 17 league appearances, the striker will hope to get back to his best form next season.

Yoane Wissa - Scores, assists in loss Wissa scored a goal off four shots (one on target), provided an assist drew three fouls and was shown a yellow card during Sunday's 4-2 win over Brentford,,

Impact Wissa replicated what he did in his previous outing by both scoring and assisting. The winger assisted his side's first goal and then scored himself in the 70th minute with a powerful and curly right-footer from long range. This was a career campaign for the attacker, who had 12 goals over 34 league appearances.

Vitaly Janelt - Scores versus Newcastle Janelt scored a goal off his lone shot and created one chance during Sunday's 4-2 loss against Newcastle.

Impact Janelt put his side back in contention by stepping into the opposition's box to slot home a pass from the right in the 48th minute. The goal was the first of the season for the midfielder, who played in all 38 league matches and struggled to put up numbers in a consistent way.

Mark Flekken - Allows four in season finale Flekken made three saves and conceded four goals during Sunday's 4-2 loss against Newcastle.

Impact Flekken wasn't at fault for any of the goals he allowed but a goalkeeper simply can't be considered a net positive from a fantasy perspective after getting beaten four times. The goalkeeper, who was coming off conceding only three goals over his previous five starts, finished eight among all EPL goalkeepers with 115 saves over 37 appearances.

Josh Da Silva - Signs one-year extension Dasilva signed an extension for the 2024/25 season, Brentford announced.

Impact Dasilva lost most of the 2023/24 season due to a knee injury, but has done enough to earn at least one more year at the club. Dasvila was limited to just three appearances but after four goals and two assists in 36 appearances in 2022/23 it's unsurprising to see that he's still considered a depth asset moving forward.

Ben Mee - Staying at Brentford Mee signed a new, one-year contract with Brentford, keeping him at the club another season.

Impact Mee broke his ankle a few months ago, but Brentford thought he did enough in his starts to earn another contract. After starting 37 matches the prior campaign, he was down to just 15 due to injuries, something he'll hope he can fend off in the new campaign. Unless something changes in the roster, the starting center-back spots will likely be between Ethan Pinnock, Nathan Collins and Mee once again next season.

Frank Onyeka - Picks up training injury Onyeka missed Saturday's 2-1 win over Bournemouth due to a training injury, according to manager Thomas Frank. "Frank picked up a minor injury in training yesterday."

Impact Onyeka has hardly seen the pitch even when fully fit of late, coming off the bench in four of his last six matches and going unused in the other two. The midfielder remains a depth option even if he can get fit before the final match of the Premier League.

Neal Maupay - Away with family Maupay missed Saturday's 2-1 win over Bournemouth due to the birth of his second child, manager Thomas Frank announced.

Impact Maupay didn't play in the prior matches due to being loan-locked against Everton and going unused against Fulham. The forward has been a depth option for the most part and should close the season in a minimal role.

Nathan Collins - Forced off late Collins was forced off with an injury during Saturday's 2-1 win over Bournemouth, according to manager Thomas Frank. "We need to assess him, I hope it's nothing serious in any way....

Impact Collins played 89 minutes and wasn't able to see out the match, a concerning turn heading into the final match of the season. Collins has been a nearly guaranteed starter when fit, and has gone the full 90 more often than not in recent months.

Keane Lewis-Potter - Two on goal efforts in win Lewis-Potter registered two shots (both on goal), one cross (not accurate) and created a chance in Saturday's 2-1 win over AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Lewis-Potter was always a danger Saturday. Both his on goal strikes required assertive goalkeeping to prevent them from landing in the back of the net. He was subbed after 63 minutes. The striker is not having an effective season, from 30 appearances he has scored just three, one from his last four matches.

Ivan Toney - Still no goals in win over Cherries Toney registered three shots (one on goal) in Saturday's 2-1 victory versus AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 98th minute.

Impact Toney was not at his best Saturday, he was outclassed by fellow strikers Bryan Mbeumo and Keane Lewis-Potter. He only managed to place one of the five shots his team fired on goal. His performance was in-line with his recent series of mediocre contributions, it has now been 12 EPL games since he last found the net.

Yoane Wissa - Goal and assist in win Wissa scored once, created an assist and two chances in Saturday's 2-1 victory over AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Wissa came on after 63 minutes Saturday for Keane Lewis-Potter. His fresh legs made a difference, he delivered a perfect one touch pass for Bryan Mbeumo to create the assist for Brentford's first, and then secured all three points with a bullet shot into the roof of the net in the dying minutes of the game. The 27-year-old striker normally starts and has netted three goals from his previous five games.

Bryan Mbeumo - Goal and assist in victory over Cherries Mbeumo scored one goal and assisted once from three shots in Saturday's 2-1 victory over AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Mbeumo was by far Brentford's biggest threat Saturday. He scored, had another shot blocked and delivered an assist. The Cameroon striker is in strong form, he has created two assists and found the net once from the Bees previous five games.

Mark Flekken - Concedes one in victory at Vitality Flekken registered three saves and conceded one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Klekken put in a solid performance Saturday, ably dealing with three of the four shots he faced on goal and showing confidence when he had to handle crosses and corners. The Dutchman has produced three clean sheets from his last seven games, but he might struggle to improve upon that in the Bees next against Newcastle. The Magpies have scored in all but one of their last 18 EPL matches, and have lost just one of their last eight.

Aaron Hickey - Won't return this season Hickey (hamstring) is done for the season and his chances of serving with Scotland during Euro 2024 are "not positive," according to manager Thomas Frank.

Impact Hickey will not be returning this season despite previous implications that he may, as he continues to deal with a hamstring issue that has kept him out since November. This is tough for the defender, as he is thought of as one of the more talented young full-backs in the Premier League, being primed for a great season following success in consecutive campaigns. However, it was all squandered due to injuries. He will now look to be fit for the start of next season and, more importantly, work towards his availability for Euro 2024, but his presence with Scotland seems unlikely at the moment.
