What is Brentford’s objectives and finances?

In terms of finance, you are taking over a newly promoted Premier League club, so your budget depends on ambition. Tell the owners you can simply stay up, and you might not have much to play with; make a bit more ambitious plays, though, and you could probably get an eight-figure transfer budget to spend in your first windows.

The challenge with Brentford isn’t just results, but it is building a team that follows the strict attacking football criteria you agree to when taking the job. Unlike other clubs, results are only part of how you will be looked at here. Instead, a big part of your job is making sure you are signing players, developing teams, and scoring goals in the way that the very specific blueprint you get asked to agree to asks.

 

Who are the best players at Brentford?

You have quite a lot of talent to play with at Brentford, with your highest potential player arguably being Frank Onyeka. The Nigerian arrived from the Danish domestic game, and by the Christmas of your first season, he should be a starting XI regular.

You have some other very impressive players, though, including Kris Ajer and Bryan Mbuemo. Both, alongside Ivan Toney and Rico Henry, will play a major role in filling in the squad with the talent you need. another impressive player is young midfielder Shandon Baptiste, to who you should look to give as much game-time as you can as he can become a Premier League level talent.

Other impressive players include David Raya in goals, easily first first-choice keeper, and all-around dynamo Ivan Toney. You have a good squad in general, and should not need to buy much in your first year; developing the team to the whims of the owners, though, is about to become your primary challenge.
