Frank Onyeka - Appears off bench Onyeka generated two shots (one on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Onyeka made his second appearance in a row, both coming off the bench as he comes back from a leg injury. The midfielder will now have the international break to get fully fit and put himself in contention for more minutes. Even when fit in 2022-23 Onyeka often found himself coming off the bench, with just eight starts in 21 appearances.

Kevin Schade - Busy in draw Schade recorded two shots (one on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Schade got the start for the third match in a row and created a pair of chances during Saturday's draw. The forward has taken over the starting role on the left wing and has produced some high danger chances. Schade has one goal during the opening four matches, and has had chances for more than that, while also drawing five fouls.

Christian Norgaard - Creates two chances Norgaard registered two shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Norgaard has grown into the season and showed an all-action performance during Saturday's draw. The midfielder isn't likely to do too much creatively, but offers plenty on both sides of the ball and has played every minutes in the final two matches before the international break.

Yoane Wissa - Three shots in draw Wissa recorded three shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Wissa has opened the season in strong form with two goals in four matches before the break. The only minor concern is that both of those goals came in the first two matches and he hasn't a shot on goal since. Wissa will hope to find that goal-scoring touch once more after the international break, though if he struggles furth Keane Lewis-Potter could see a run in the starting XI.

Nathan Collins - Delivers an assist Collins created an assist in Saturday's 2-2 tie with AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Collins appeared in the game late on Saturday when he replaced Ben Mee after 81. He delivered the vital assist for the Bees equalizing goal scored by Bryan Mbeumo. The young Irishman joined Brentford in July from Wolves, this was the first match that he started from the bench and hopefully his contribution will re-secure his starting position for their next against Newcastle.

Mathias Jensen - Scores first of season Jensen scored from his only shot-on-target. He also placed four crosses (two accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth. In addition, he was given a yell...

Impact Jensen scored on Saturday from an impressive direct free kick that Bournemouth keeper, Neto, pushed away but was correctly judged to have crossed the goal line. The play shows how dangerous the Danish international can be from set pieces, he also placed two accurate crosses to help build other opportunities. He was subbed after 81 for Kristoffer Ajer. From four appearances this was his first strike of the season.

Bryan Mbeumo - Snatches late equalizer Mbeumo placed two shots, scoring with his one on-target effort. He also completed 10 crosses (five accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Mbeumo was active down Brentford's attacking right flank on Saturday developing opportunities through five accurate crosses into the penalty area. He managed to secure the Bees a point by scoring a late equalizer in the 93rd minute. Mbeumo is the team's choice penalty taker, he has now scored four this season with two of these coming from spot kicks.

Mark Flekken - Concedes two in draw Flekken completed three saves and conceded two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw with AFC Bournemouth.

Impact Flekken saved three of the five shots he faced on-target on Saturday. The Dutchman has been a solid addition to the Bees defense, they have not lost a game that he has played in since joining them from SC Freiburg in the summer. He will likely have a tougher test in Brentford's next against Newcastle at St James' park. The Magpies have lost their last three and will be hungry to make amends in front of their home fans. From four appearances he has conceded five (1.3 per game), completed 13 saves (3.3 per game, 72 percent) and produced one clean sheet.

Neal Maupay - Loaned to Brentford Maupay completed a season-long loan move to Brentford, Everton announced.

Impact Maupay makes the switch to Brentford on loan where he will likely fulfill a similar depth role to what he has taken at Everton. It's a much stronger attack in general with the Bees, but Maupay could struggle to get on the pitch, especially when Ivan Tony returns from suspension.

Mikkel Damsgaard - Suffers groin injury Damsgaard will be out of action versus Bournemouth on Saturday after sustaining an adductor injury, per Jay Harris of The Athletic.

Impact Damsgaard has featured exclusively off the bench this season and was left out of the squad entirely versus Crystal Palace on Saturday. As such, the midfielder's absence is unlikely to significantly impact the starting XI. Still, with Damsgaard sidelined, Frank Onyeka could see some added minutes off the bench.

Ethan Pinnock - Gets two clearances Pinnock had two clearances in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Pinnock continues being the main force in the back for Brentford, making all three starts at center back for the team. In that span, he's totaled 18 clearances with three blocks.

Ben Mee - Plays in EFL Cup Mee played 77 minutes during Tuesday's EFL Cup clash with Newport County.

Impact Mee returned to the starting XI in the cup, as expected. It was a good run out for the center-half, who didn't seem to suffer any set backs with his injury and should be a major part of the starting XI in all competitions moving forward.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ben Mee - Starting against Newport Mee (calf), as expected, will feature in the starting XI versus Newport County on Tuesday.

Impact Mee makes his season debut for the club after having missed the first three Premier League contests of the season. Considering the central defender started all 37 of his appearances for Brentford last season, he should be a near-lock for the starting XI moving forward, barring any setbacks in Tuesday's tilt.

Bryan Mbeumo - Nine crosses in draw Mbuemo attempted nine crosses (four accurate) and took six corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

Impact Mbuemo netted three times in the opening two games, but he was unable to make it three in a row and he only managed one shot which failed to hit the target. He acted more as a creator against Palace, attempting over twice as many crosses as any of his teammates and creating two goal-scoring opportunities.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Christian Norgaard - Registers assist Norgaard picked up an assist and created three chances in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Crystal Palace.

Impact Norgaard set up Kevin Schade's goal with a wonderful cross-field pass and created more goal-scoring opportunities than any of his teammates. He was solid out of possession, winning three of his fgour tackles. The midfielder managed one goal and three assists last season in an injury-hit campaign.

Kevin Schade - Scores first Premie League goal Schade scored once from two shots (one on target) and created one chance in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

Impact Schade got off the mark for the season with a stunning goal, his first for Brentford since arriving from Freiburg in January. The attacker was starting his second consecutive game having been on the bench for the season opener. Brentford will be hoping that Schade can help fill the gap left by top-scorer Ivan Toney, who they will be without for the first half of the season due to a long-term ban.

AUGUST 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mark Flekken - One conceded in draw Flekken made four saves and conceded once in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace.

Impact Flekken made an excellent double save to preserve his sides lead. However, he was partly at fault for the eventual equalizer after a mix up with teammate Nathan Collins. Despite his error, he has made a strong start to life in the Premier League, making ten saves in three games. He next comes up against Bournemouth on Saturday.

Saman Ghoddos - Back with Bees Ghoddos signed with Brentford one a one-year contract, Brentford announced Friday.

Impact Ghoddos lands back with the same club he departed as a free agent. The midfielder saw little playing time with Brentford though evidently the club had enough interest to bring him back on board as a depth option. Ghoddos made 32 appearances (four starts) for the Bees in the Premier League, and 43 appearances in the Championship.
