Emilano Martinez - Two saves in loss Martinez made two saves during Friday's 1-0 loss to Southampton.
Impact Martinez made two saves and only faced three shots Friday. The keeper has next to no fantasy value unless he's the cheapest keeper on the slate. He has simply faced too few shots and produced too few clean sheets to be fantasy relevant.
NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Matty Cash - Busy defensively Cash made five tackles and interceptions during Friday's 1-0 loss to Southampton.
Impact Cash isn't one to get forward and offer offensive value, he's only created five chances in 11 matches so far this season. That said he can sometimes offer value purely off his defensive volume. Cash did well, and is a decent, low-floor option.
NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Emiliano Buendia - Shut out in loss Buendia shot three times (once on goal) and created four chances during Friday's 1-0 loss to Southampton.
Impact Buendia was excellent going forward and with better finishing around him could have truly taken over the match. The midfielder failed to do so and in the end was held off the score sheet once again. Buendia has shown flashes of brilliance but lacks the consistency to find his way into fantasy lineups.
NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Anwar El Ghazi - Three shots in loss El Ghazi shot three times (once on goal) during Friday's 1-0 loss to Southampton.
Impact El Ghazi led the way offensively, even if he failed to get on the goal sheet. The winger did well with his chances and looked confident in what was only his fourth start of the season, and his first since August. El Ghazi has limited fantasy upside unless he truly breaks into the starting XI alongside Leon Bailey.
NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Leon Bailey - Busy in loss Bailey sent in eight inaccurate crosses and made three tackles during Friday's 1-0 loss to Southampton.
Impact Bailey was the main creative threat for Aston Villa on Friday, even if he failed to break onto the score sheet. Bailey seems to finally have a nailed-down starting role, and is probably the most talented player on the team. He is growing into a solid fantasy role and should be a consistent starter after the break.
NOVEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Jacob Ramsey - On bench against Southampton Ramsey (undisclosed) is on the bench for Friday's match against Southampton.
Impact Ramsey is healthy enough to make the bench Friday after leaving early last weekend with an injury in the 15th minute. While he's not starting, it's a good sign that he doesn't have to miss time. Still, Anwar El Ghazi got the start in his place in what looks like a 4-2-3-1 for Villa.

Jacob Ramsey - In contention Friday Ramsey (undisclosed) will be available against Southampton on Friday. Manager Dean Smith told reporters, "The injury wasn't as bad as we thought and he had a full training session...
Impact Ramsey will certainly be needed with Danny Ings (undisclosed) and Douglas Luiz (strain) both ruled out due to injury. In nine matches this year, including six starts, Ramsey recorded one goal on 11 shots (five on target), 11 crosses (three accurate) and five chances created. Ramsey should be a solid mid-range fantasy option assuming he features in the starting XI on Friday.
NOVEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Douglas Luiz - Sidelined Friday Luiz (strain) will be unavailable for Friday's matchup with Southampton.
Impact Luiz will now be shelved for two consecutive contests due to his muscular injury. Prior to getting hurt, the midfielder made eight straight appearances in the starting XI in which he registered two assists, six shots (zero on target), 23 crosses (six accurate) and 15 corners. Once cleared to return, Luiz should continue to see a heavy dose of the workload on freekicks, making him a top-half fantasy target,
NOVEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Bertrand Traore - Remains sidelined Friday Traore (thigh) will remain out of the squad against Southampton on Friday.
Impact Traore has played a combined 53 minutes in four appearances off the bench this season, so his continued absence is unlikely to impact the team's starting XI. Whenever he does rejoin the squad, Traore will likely continue serving primarily as a bench option, though he did start 29 of 36 matches last year.
NOVEMBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Danny Ings - Unavailable against Southampton Ings (undisclosed) will miss out versus Southampton on Friday.
Impact Ings will be sidelined for his second consecutive contest due to his undisclosed injury. Prior to getting hurt, the forward registered one goal on seven shots (three on target), one assist and six crosses (zero accurate) in his previous five appearances. Once healthy, Ings should immediately retake his place in the starting XI where he'll provide solid top-half fantasy value. Until then, it looks like Villa will continue with a 4-3-3 that features Leon Bailey and Emiliano Buendia on the attacking wings.
