Can Thomas Frank bring beautiful times back to Tottenham Hotspur – and maybe Bryan Mbeumo with himher?

More precisely, from the perspective of the Premier League (FPL) fantasy perspective, can the newly appointed Spurs boss make the Lilywhites assets attract interesting picks again?

In this moving target section, we look closer to the former head coach of Brentford who is 51 years old.

Career so far

An amateur footballer who quickly realizes that his talent belongs to training, he starts from the bottom and works to become Denmark U-16 and managers under the 17s, bringing the last to the semifinals of the 2011 European Championship.

Training the young generation of his people continued until he was appointed as the head coach of the Brondby first team two years later. The Copenhagen -based side is the Danish champion on 10 occasions between 1985 and 2005, but has just escaped degradation and bankruptcy. This represents a big step for Frank.

The goal became a struggle and some players saw it as a gentle touch, even though the fourth and third finish became stability to bring stability. However, Frank stopped in March 2016 after sensational revealed that the Chairman of Brondby used an anonymous pseudonym to repeatedly criticize him in the online fan forum.

Nine months later, he decided to join the coach staff Dean Smith in Brentford. And when Aston Villa teased the last one in October 2018, Frank stepped to become a new head coach.

The final defeat of the 2019/20 championship playoff which was heartbreaking from Fulham’s neighbors could frustrate them. But apparently not. 12 months later, the team that contains Ivan Toney, David Raya And Bryan Mbeumo Going one better and beat Swansea City 2-0 in Wembley, getting a promotion to the top flight.

Since then, Frank not only maintaining Brentford in the Premier League, but he mostly has them comfortably on the table. The final result of 13 and ninth preceded the 16th season which was hit by injuries and most of the prohibited toney. However, there is a gap of 13 points between them and the relegation zone.

The 2024/25 campaign plays much better for this West London team. Tenth on the table, where European qualifications are completely realistic until the last two weeks. After this, Frank decided it was time to leave and face interesting new challenges.

Frank at Brentford: Play Style

Bees achieve the success of the championship by focusing on ownership but, after being promoted, Frank turns into a more pragmatic style. Often switch between 4-3-3 (in easier tests) and 3-5-2 (against ‘big clubs’), it focuses on defense organizations, counterattacks and some innovative sets.

After Toney’s departure last summer, the fourth season of bees brought evolution. They are more often played from behind, looking for a large combination and regular emphasis for high turnover. 2024/25 almost exclusively is a 4-2-3-1 system, allowing Mikkel Damsgaard to shine.

Playmaker helps 10 times, developed around three attackers, each scored at least 11 goals.

Brentford remains great in a dead ball situation too. During these four campaigns, no Premier League team recorded more goals expected (XG) of their 64.7 sets. 48 opportunities this season from Throw-in far ahead, like the six goals from them. There are no other clothes that exceed two. This can be good for the Spurs central defender Cristian RomeroIf he is not restless to leave.

Meanwhile, there is also a peculiarity where, between Gameweks 4 and 6, Brentford became the first team in the history of the Premier League which scored in the first minute on three consecutive opportunities. In Gameweek 7, they are polite enough to wait until the 75th second.

“I came here as a man who wanted to show off and shine. I became a leader and people remembering me as a good captain and good person. The way he changed me, I would never forget. He is a lifetime friend, the best coach I have ever done.” – Pontus Janson

Frank does not seem to believe in long -term efforts. His tactic emphasizes putting the ball into the penalty area before shooting. Bees are usually the best league for XG per non-identification (between 0.13 and 0.14). In 2024/25, only Liverpool netted more than inside the box.

In the back, Frank’s trick is to force opponents to a harmless shot from a distance. For example, his team conceded the second most effort (647)-more than the degraded duo Leicester City and Ipswich Town. But they also allow the seventh strongest great opportunity (80).

Because of this, Ground stain Perform more rescue than other goalkeepers in the European League ‘Big Five’ (156).
