Since returning from AFCON, Brentford's Dango has been one of the team's most direct attacking outlets, and the form data reflects a player hitting his stride at the right time. He has been a joy to watch - incredibly direct and dynamic, while his exciting off-the-ball movement generates lots of attacking opportunities and goal threat. Brentford have a kind fixture run in their next 5 games, facing Burnley, Wolves, Leeds, and Everton, all of which have weaker defences that should offer plenty of haul opportunities for Dango. At his current 1.8% ownership, he is also a terrific differential for those looking to climb the ranks.

FPLAlpha's form signal indicator also recommends Dango as a BUY for GW28, with Dango's expected points per match increasing by 24% as compared to the season average.
