Dominic Calvert-Lewin rescued a point for Leeds on Sunday, scoring his fourth goal in as many Gameweeks.
In a match largely devoid of any real quality, the budget forward made a crucial contribution, glancing home a trademark header from substitute Wilfried Gnonto’s (£5.2m) delivery.
Calvert-Lewin has now produced 31 points over the last four Gameweeks, the joint-most of any forward.
He’s also found the net with all four of his Opta-defined ‘big chances’ during that period.
Calvert-Lewin has admittedly looked much better since Daniel Farke switched to a 3-5-2 formation earlier this month.
The German employed the same tactical setup once more against Brentford, before shifting to a 4-3-3 in search of an equaliser, and Leeds largely defended very well, limiting Keith Andrews’s side to just 0.72 expected goals (xG).
Indeed, with three at the back for the most part and the impressive Ethan Ampadu (£4.9m) offering further protection in front, Igor Thiago (£7.0m) failed to register a single attempt on goal.
Instead, Anton Stach (£4.8m) racked up six shots, the second-most of any player in Gameweek 16 so far.
HENDERSON ADVANCED
Jordan Henderson (£5.0m) was the best player on the pitch for Brentford.
With Mikel Damsgaard (£5.8m) benched, the veteran midfielder played further forward than usual and thrived in his new role, firing the hosts ahead with a deflected effort.
Defensively, Brentford may have lost their clean sheet late on, but four of their starting defenders did at least return.
Michael Kayode (£4.5m), Nathan Collins (£4.9m) and Sepp van den Berg (£4.5m) banked defensive contribution (DefCon) points (see image below), with Kayode also claiming a share of the bonus.
Keane Lewis-Potter (£4.8m), meanwhile, was substituted off before Brentford conceded.
