Igor Thiago
24-Year-Old
Brentford
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Thiago joined Brentford last summer but made just eight appearances due to a serious injury and an infection after surgery. Despite that awful start to life in England, he now steps into the Brentford team with a surprising opportunity for a large role in the attack. Before joining Brentford, he scored 18 goals with Club Brugge and he's expected to shoulder a significant load for the Bees now that he's fit. The thought is that if fit, there will be minutes for him given the player movement that Brentford has had. Yet, with a new manager and minimal time in the Premier League, he's an extremely boom-or-bust forward.
Limited impact vs. Forest
Thiago generated two shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 2-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
ANALYSIS
Thiago has been one of the most dangerous strikers in the Premier League this season, but the Brazilian was unable to make a big impact in this defeat since he was pretty much isolated against the opposing center-backs. Thiago, who ranks second in the Premier League in goals this season, will aim to bounce back when Brentford visit Aston Villa on Sunday in another tough matchup.

Late call with minor issue
Thiago is a late call for Thursday's match against Tottenham due to a knock, according to manager Keith Andrews. "Thiago had a bit of an issue, but nothing to do with his injury last season at all. Again, this time of year, naturally, you pick up little bits and bobs. The games are coming quite frequently. We're still a couple of days out, so we'll see how everyone is tomorrow and make decisions about the team."
