Brentford have taken nine points from their first five Premier League games without a loss. An early review gives Jannik Schuster an A and Mamadou Sangaré an A-minus; Jaidon Anthony and Callum Wilson get Bs, while El Hadji Malick Diouf is not yet graded.
Sangaré, Brentford's club-record signing, has an assist and 14 tackles in 323 league minutes. Schuster, 20, has made 30 clearances in 253 minutes and assisted Anthony's opening goal in the 3-0 win over Chelsea. The article cautions that five matches are too few for firm conclusions.
Anthony has appeared in all five league matches, started three and scored against Chelsea; he also made three assists in a 6-1 Carabao Cup win at Birmingham. Wilson has just 13 league minutes but scored in cup matches against Birmingham and Reading. Diouf joined on August 27 and has played 39 league minutes.
