Players to Watch

Mikkel Damsgaard (⁠Brentford)

Mikkel Damsgaard has looked good for the Bees this season despite failing to score regularly. He has scored just once this season while providing another three assists for the team. in four matches in the league and remains their most important player. Damsgaard is a pacey winger who is direct with his play in the final third.
