<h2>Brentford's Promising Pre-season - FPL Gameweek 1 Tips</h2>
<p>There’s a real feel-good factor around <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-brentford-fpl-players/"><strong>Brentford</strong> </a>at the moment. They come into the season having had the best <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-pre-season-guide/"><strong>pre-season</strong></a> preparation of all the promoted teams.</p>
<p>Brentford were the <strong>highest goal scorers in the Championship last season</strong>. Their <strong>xG (76.2)</strong> was healthy, averaging 1.66 xG per game.</p>
<p><strong>Half of their goals were scored away from home</strong> too. This highlights the fact there is no change in attacking philosophy whether they're playing home or away.</p>
<p>Even in four of the games they had against Premier League sides in the cups last season, they<strong> averaged two goals per match</strong>. This suggests that they adopt the same front foot attacking approach regardless of the opposition.</p>
<p><strong>Frank Thomas</strong> played a 4-3-3 formation for the majority of last season and in all, barring two, of their <strong><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-pre-season-guide/">pre-season</a></strong> friendlies this season.</p>
<p>Notably, <strong>they played 3-5-2 in their most recent friendly</strong> which suggests this formation is a real possibility in their Gameweek 1 opener against <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/the-best-arsenal-fpl-players/"><strong>Arsenal</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Another point worth mentioning is that <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/brentford-fantasy-football-tips-team-preview/"><strong>Brentford's</strong> </a>system is heavily reliant on their striker.</p>
<p>The <strong>Bees</strong> have<strong> had three 20+ goal forwards in three successive seasons</strong>. This is great for <b><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-mid-priced-forwards/">Ivan Toney</a> (£6.5m) </b>because it means that the significant majority of chances are likely to fall to him.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>The Best Budget Midfielder - FPL Gameweek 1 Tips</h2>
<p>In my opinion, <strong>Bryan Mbuemo (£5.5m) </strong>is the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-budget-midfielders/"><strong>best budget midfielder</strong></a> in FPL at the moment.</p>
<p>According to the <strong><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions/">Fantasy Football Hub's predicted points tool</a></strong>, Mbuemo will be the <strong>highest scoring midfielder out of those priced £5.5m and under for the first four Gameweeks</strong>.</p>
<p>In a 3-5-2 system, he is likely to play alongside Toney up front. The Frenchman shares a few <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-set-piece-takers/"><strong>set pieces</strong></a> with <strong>Mathias  Jensen (£5.0m)</strong>. He also has an amazing track record of<strong> 25 goals </strong>and <strong>17 assists in the past two seasons</strong>.</p>
<p>Having scored in the recent friendly against <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-fantasy-football-manchester-united-best-player-picks/"><strong>Manchester United</strong></a>, he will be full of confidence. His expected numbers last season were particularly impressive as well, as he registered a sustainable <strong>xG</strong> of<strong> 9.83</strong> and <strong>xA</strong> of <strong>7.28</strong>.</p>
