The short answer
Brentford ended pre-season with an emphatic 7-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt on 15 August. Igor Thiago and Kevin Schade scored twice, Dango Ouattara scored, and Mamadou Sangare marked his Gtech debut with a long-range goal.
The useful FPL information is not the seven-goal scoreline itself. It is that Brentford used a strong lineup and the expected attacking roles looked clear.
| Rank | Player | Price | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Kevin Schade | £6.0m | Value + advanced role |
| 2 | Igor Thiago | £8.0m | Central No.9, 2G+1A |
| 3 | Dango Ouattara | £6.5m | Expected wide starter |
| 4 | Mamadou Sangare | £5.5m | Starter + DefCon profile |
Igor Thiago: strongest goal role
Thiago scored twice and supplied an assist against Frankfurt. Official FPL analysis says he has four attacking returns across his final two pre-season matches.
His central No.9 role provides the best pure goal ceiling, but £8.0m places him in a more competitive price bracket.
Kevin Schade: the value sweet spot
Schade's £6.0m price makes his brace particularly interesting. Official analysis expects Schade and Ouattara to occupy the wide attacking roles ahead of new signing Jaidon Anthony.
That gives Schade the combination managers want before GW1: price, advanced role, likely starts and form.
Ouattara and Sangare
Ouattara remains a direct £6.5m attacker but must justify the extra £0.5m over Schade. Sangare is a different type of pick: he played at the base of midfield and is expected to benefit from defensive-contribution scoring. His goal is upside, not the main thesis.
Do not chase the scoreline
A 7-0 friendly is not a seven-goal Premier League forecast. Use the match to confirm roles and minutes, then use fixtures and price to make the actual FPL decision.

OneFPL verdict
Schade is the value pick, Thiago the pure striker pick, Ouattara the alternative and Sangare the budget/DefCon enabler. The final lineup gives Brentford's attacking hierarchy more credibility than it had a week ago.
