Overall
There were some great FPL picks at Brentford this season, especially due to their budget enabling price tags. The arrival of Eriksen improved the Brentford attacking threat. The midfielder had 22 goal attempts in 11 appearances. He also created 30 chances, took 54 corners and 14 free kicks. Eriksen’s future is uncertain now that his contract has expired with Brenford, however if he stays in the Premier League he looks to be a great FPL pick. Ahead of the new season FPL managers should once again keep the likes of Toney, Mbeumo and Henry on their watchlist.
