IAN MAATSEN NEWS

Logs assist in Champions League Maatsen scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 3-0 win versus Club Brugge.

Impact Usually, it is Lucas Digne serving as Aston Villa's left-back for big games. Perhaps because Villa entered the Wednesday matchup with a comfortable lead on aggregate, Maatsen was chosen to start as the team's left-back. He rewarded the choice, logging what is his first and likely only goal in Champions League action this season. Taking that into account, his UCL stats in other games this campaign are not as impressive, with nine clearances and three interceptions providing the most value.

Assist off bench Maatsen assisted once to go with zero corners and one chance created in Saturday's 2-1 win against Leicester City.

Impact Maatsen has been a regular part of Aston Villa's bench, and the statement did not change Saturday. However, the unappealing role did not stop him from making an impact against Leicester City, who fell with a Leon Bailey goal. Maatsen provided the assist to it, which should boost his stock at least a little bit for future starts over fellow left-back Lucas Digne.

Impact Maatsen has a lot of potential, but he hasn't been able to display that at Villa Park yet, which was expected since he has to battle with Matty Cash and Lucas Digne for minutes. Maatsen should remain in this backup role going forward, a situation that will reduce his fantasy upside to a minimum.
