GAME LOG

Takes three shots against Chelsea Watkins took three shots and created a chance in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Chelsea. He also made an interception in the match.

Six shots in draw Watkins had six shots (four on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Leeds United.
Impact Watkins took every chance to shoot during Sunday's, ignoring multiple passing lanes throughout the match. Watkins has had a tough start to the campaign with just one goal and two assists in eight appearances and seems desperate to get back on the score sheet. Watkins' six shots were a season-high, and with the finishing he's shown in seasons past that volume could translate to goals soon for Watkins.

Creates chance in win Watkins took one shot on target, created one chance, won one tackle and logged four clearances in Friday's 1-0 victory over Southampton.
Impact Watkins helped key the only goal of the game in the 42nd minute, as his header was initially saved by keeper Gavin Bazunu, but teammate Jacob Ramsey was able to easily put away the rebound. Otherwise, it was a rather quiet game for the forward who was apparently under the weather prior to Friday's contest. While fantasy managers won't be overly excited with the outing, Villa showed signs of improvement in logging its first clean sheet win of the league season.

Good to go Friday Watkins (illness) is in the starting XI for Friday's match against Southampton.
Impact There wasn't much of a doubt regarding Watkins's status, as he trained Thursday and it wasn't a major illness. He's managed just one goal from three shots on target this season, but a matchup against Southampton prevents a favorable spot if Villa are to get their second win of the season.
SEPTEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Under the weather Watkins is dealing with an illness ahead of Friday's matchup with Southampton. Manager Steven Gerrard told reporters, "Ollie Watkins has been unwell."
Impact Watkins potential absence would be a blow to the Villa starting XI considering the forward has featured in five straight contests. In those outings, Watkins has registered one goal on seven shots (three on target), two assists and five tackles (three won). If Watkins can't start, Danny Ings would be all but guaranteed to get the call even though Gerrard has mixed up his starting XIs every match this season.

Impact Watkins set up goals in the 31st and 85th minutes, assisting both Villa goals on the day. The two assists mean that the attacker has already matched last seasons' total in the category but he remains in search of his first goal of the new campaign.

Records assist in season finale Watkins took a shot and assisted a goal in Sunday's 3-2 defeat against Manchester City.
Impact Watkins grabbed his second assist of the season in setting up a Philippe Coutinho goal on Sunday, but it wasn't enough to down a determined City side. Watkins finishes the season with 11 goals in 35 Premier League appearances (33 starts), which isn't quite as prolific as he was last season (14 goals) but still a respectable tally for the 26-year-old.

Impact Watkins has been on fire of late with three goals on 20 shots (nine on target) in his last six outings. If the forward does miss out Sunday, it could be an opportunity for Bertrand Traore to get into the starting XI for just the second time this season. For his part, Watkins should be considered a top-end fantasy target if he does remain on the pitch.
