Vitaly Janelt - Equalizes on stoppage time Janelt scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.

Impact Janelt raced into the box following a cross from Bryan Mbeumo and nodded the ball home past Vicente Guaita for a stoppage-time equalizer. The central midfielder is not known for his fantasy contributions, but he plays a massive role in midfield for the Bees. He's registered three goals, one assist, 14 crosses, 43 tackles and 20 clearances this season.

David Raya - Concedes once against Palace David Raya recorded three saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Crystal Palace.

Impact David Raya can't be blamed for the goal he conceded, as it was almost impossible to stop Eberechi Eze's header from very close range. The Spanish goalkeeper has been very solid of late, though, conceding one or fewer goals in seven straight outings while keeping four clean sheets in that span. He's been instrumental for Brentford's ongoing 11-game undefeated run.

Ivan Toney - Leading line as expected Toney is fit and in the starting XI for Saturday's match against Crystal Palace.

Impact Toney is leading the line as expected after recovering from a hamstring injury. The forward has scored 14 goals and provided three assists in his 20 appearances.

Thomas Strakosha - Won't return for next two matches Strakosha (ankle) won't be available for Brentford's next two contests but is hoping to return versus Fulham on March 6.

Impact Strakosha has yet to get onto the pitch for the club this season after starting all 31 of his Europa League and Serie A appearances for Lazio last season. Even once ready to return, Straskosha will be hard-pressed to unseat David Raya as the preferred option between the sticks.

Pontus Jansson - Ruled out next two contests Jansson (hamstring) is hoping to return against Fulham on March 6. As such, he will miss the next two contests.

Impact Jansson has logged just one minute of action over the club's last 13 contests due to injury problems. Even once cleared to play, Jansson may face an uphill battle to claim a place in the starting XI and will likely serve primarily as a substitute option, making him a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Frank Onyeka - Targeting March return Onyeka (hamstring) could be available versus Fulham on March 6, ruling him out for the club's next two matches.

Impact Onyeka will have missed nine matches due to his hamstring injury if he is cleared to face Fulham. As a result, the midfielder may have to settle for a spot on the bench the first time out in order to ease his way back to 100 percent. Still, once given the all-clear, Onyeka should be in contention for a place in the starting XI.

Ivan Toney - Set to start Saturday Toney (hamstring) is expected to feature in the starting XI against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Impact Toney has been nearly unstoppable of late with six goals on 24 shots (12 on target) in his last seven appearances. The forward figures to remain the focal point of the Brentford attack and should offer top-end fantasy production with a decent floor given his shot totals.

Mads Roerslev Rasmussen - Extends contract with Brentford Roerslev has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract extension with Brentford, the club announced Wednesday.

Impact Roerslev has kept five clean sheets in 35 Premier League appearances (22 starts) since Brentford's promotion from the Championship 18 months ago, and the 23-year-old has now signed on with the club through the 2025/26 campaign. He's able to play in a back-three and at right wing-back, though he is likely still the backup option to Aaron Hickey when everyone is fit.

Ivan Toney - Scores against Gunners Toney scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Arsenal. He was subbed off due to injury...

Impact Toney left the game in the final minutes with a muscular injury, but he still found a way to make an impact when scoring the equalizer thanks to a header from close range. One of the most prolific strikers in the league, Toney has netted 14 goals across 20 starts in the current Premier League campaign.

Christian Norgaard - Sets up Toney's goal Norgaard assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Arsenal. In addition, he was given a ye...

Impact Norgaard used his aerial ability twice to make an impact on the sequence that led to Ivan Toney's goal, as he was two aerial battles and then set up a ball toward the middle that found Ivan Toney near to the goal. Norgaard's role as a defensive midfielder doesn't carry a lot of upside, but he can be a threat on set-piece situations and showed just that in this sequence. It was his second assist over his last seven outings.

Bryan Mbeumo - Whips in five crosses Saturday Mbeumo registered five crosses (two accurate) and three corners in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Arsenal.

Impact Mbeumo was active on the wing and delivered value due to his crossing and set-piece ability, but unfortunately, the end product was lacking. The Cameroon international has two goals and one assist across seven starts since the league resumed following the World Cup, and he should remain one of the first names on the team sheet for the Bees as long as he remains healthy.

David Raya - Concedes once against Arsenal David Raya made six saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus Arsenal.

Impact David Raya was busy all game long, but he could not do anything on the sequence that led to Arsenal's goal since Leandro Trossard scored from very close range. The Spaniard has been playing well of late and has conceded two just two goals across his last six starts, recording four clean sheets in that span, and the two goals he allowed were against top sides such as Liverpool and Arsenal.
