A share of the attack says how much runs through Thiago. These say what would have to be replaced. Losing the penalty taker or the corner deliverer is not the same as losing a proportional slice of output, and a partnership cuts both ways: the supplier being absent damages the finisher’s numbers too.

Season record
Involvement in build-up
excludes their own shots and final passesThiago carries 5.7% of Brentford’s build-up value.
- Build-up per 900.13542% of forwards
- Possession value per 900.62074% of forwards
Ranked against 109 forwards with a comparable sample. Build-up is the value of possessions a player was involved in with their own shots and final passes removed, so it credits the work before the chance. It is a possession-value measure rather than a passing one: it cannot tell a forty-yard carry from two sideways balls, because no pass or carry record exists in this data.
Tackles, blocks and recoveries
per 90 · 2025/26They account for 6.6% of their club’s recorded defensive work.
- Tackles1.0176% of FWD
- Blocks, clearances, interceptions2.3085% of FWD
- Recoveries2.5573% of FWD
- Defensive contribution5.8785% of FWD
Rates from 3,282 minutes, ranked against 33 forwards with a comparable sample. The feed publishes season totals rather than a match-by-match record, so there is no hit rate against a line here. That needs the distribution, which no arithmetic on a total can recover. This statistic begins in 2025/26, so there is no earlier season to compare against.
