Leon Bailey - Gets 18 minutes in loss Bailey (quad) played 18 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 1-0 loss against Newcastle, returning from a two-month absence.
Impact Bailey didn't have the same impact off the bench Sunday as he had earlier in the season, but a lack of form is likely to blame. The question is where he fits in Steven Gerrard's team because when healthy, he was one of Villa's better players earlier in the season. That being the case, he'll now have to fight Phillipe Coutinho for playing time and it's been a while since Bailey has been healthy for an extended period.

Trippier out for Newcastle with broken foot
Kieran Trippier must take a break from his fast start to life at Newcastle after sustaining a broken left footFEBRUARY 14, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Ezri Konsa - Eligible to return Konsa will be available versus Watford on Saturday after serving his one-match ban.
Impact Konsa is a lock to reclaim his place in the starting XI considering he has featured in all 21 of his appearances for the club this year. In those outings, the defender has generated two goals on 13 shots (six on target), 55 clearances and 17 blocks. While he figures to primarily record defensive stats, Konsa should still be a threat in the box on corners and freekicks.

Lucas Digne - Good going forward Digne crossed nine times (one accurate) and created two chances during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Newcastle.
Impact Digne was a part of the Villa back line that conceded one goal, but it was going forward where he made an impact. The fullback finished with team-high totals in crosses and chances created in the win.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyrone Mings - Leader with two interceptions Mings took an off target shot, blocked a shot, made two interceptions, a tackle and a clearance during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Newcastle.
Impact Mings was a part of the Villa back line that allowed the lone goal of the match via a direct free kick. The defender finished with the second highest amount of shots and blocks on the team while tying for the team-high with two interceptions in the loss.

Emilano Martinez - Beaten by free kick Martinez allowed a goal while making a save during Sunday's 1-0 loss to Newcastle.
Impact Martinez conceded the game's lone goal in the first half, giving way to a Kieran Trippier free kick. The keeper has now allowed 33 goals in 22 league starts while his lone save upped his season total to 61.
FEBRUARY 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Emiliano Buendia - Starting against Newcastle Buendia (hip) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Newcastle.
Impact Buendia is surprisingly in the XI Sunday despite leaving the midweek match with a hip issue. It's hard to see him going a full 90, but he's been great under Steven Gerrard, posting five shots on goal and eight chances created in his last four starts.

Bertrand Traore - Suffers hamstring injury Traore sustained a hamstring problem and is set to miss multiple weeks.
Impact Traore was away from the team while on international duty for AFCON and now will miss additional time due to his hamstring issue. In total, the midfielder has made just six appearances for the club this year (one start) and is unlikely to offer much in the way of fantasy value moving forward.

Emiliano Buendia - In doubt Sunday Buendia (hip) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with Newcastle United. Manager Steven Gerrard told reporters, "Emi's slightly different because he has had some contact, he had a...
Impact In his last five outings, Buendia registered one goal on 12 shots (five on target), one assist and eight chances created. If the forward is unavailable, it could be an opportunity for Ashley Young to break back into the starting XI for the first time since mid-December.

Philippe Coutinho - Slated to play against Newcastle Coutinho is expected to be in the squad versus Newcastle United on Sunday. Manager Steven Gerrard told reporters, "Phil's fine. He got a bit of cramp in a few different areas and h...
Impact Coutinho was forced off in the 78th minute against Leeds United on Wednesday, but it was only deemed to be a cramp and he should be fine going forward. While the forward struggled to crack the starting XI with any consistency at Barcelona, he should be a mainstay on the pitch for Aston Villa given early performances.
FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Emilano Martinez - Makes four saves in 3-3 draw Martinez made four saves in Wednesday's 3-3 draw to Leeds.
Impact Martinez was in good form here and was very busy versus the surprisingly active Leeds. The keeper has held two clean sheets over his past six matches but with 14 saves and 10 goals allowed in addition he's had very little fantasy production outside of the shutouts.
FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tyrone Mings - Takes three shots in 3-3 draw Mings had three shots (one on target), four aerials won, two interceptions, three blocked shots and seven clearances in Wednesday's 3-3 draw to Leeds.
Impact Mings finally took his first shots on goal since early December but hasn't had a goal or an assist since November. He's also added two clean sheets over his past five starts and has been productive in defensive peripheral stats as well.
FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lucas Digne - Sends seven crosses in 3-3 draw Digne had one shot (off target), seven crosses (one accurate), two aerials won, three corners, three tackles (all won), two interceptions and six clearances in Wednesday's 3-3 draw...
Impact Digne was active on the flank but just wasn't his day and couldn't really make the most of his opportunities on the ball. The full-back though is off to a great start of his Villa career after racking up one assist on five chances created and 16 crosses while adding three shots, five tackles and six interceptions over his three starts for the club.
FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Matty Cash - Assists in 3-3 draw Cash tallied one assist, one shot (off target), two crosses (both accurate), three aerials won and three tackles (both won) in Wednesday's 3-3 draw to Leeds.
Impact Cash turned in another very active and productive night at the office. He finally tallied his first major offensive contribution since September but has been active up front lately with seven chances created and 12 crosses over his past five matches.
FEBRUARY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Jacob Ramsey - Fires in brace in 3-3 draw Ramsey scored twice on two shots and added two interceptions in Wednesday's 3-3 draw to Leeds.
Impact Ramsey was absolutely brilliant here especially in the first half when he buried both his chances in a cold-blooded fashion. The midfielder has now started in eight consecutive matches and has been absolutely clinical with four goals and one assist in his last six affairs alone.
