Leon Bailey - Starting Conference League match Bailey (undisclosed) was named to the starting XI versus Hibernian on Wednesday.

Even with limited action, it was a fantastic outing for the forward as he registered one goal on two shots (one on target), one assist and one corner. While Douglas Luiz figures to remain the primary corner-taker for Villa, Bailey should see some of the workload, which should bolster his fantasy value.
