Lucas Digne - Assist in winDigne assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), 13 crosses (four accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

ImpactDigne found Jhon Duran in the 87th minute of Friday's match to earn his second assist of the season while also bringing Villa level with Palace. Digne was a constant issue for the Eagles, as he was very effective on both ends of the pitch. He contributed an amazing 13 crosses, one shot and two chances created in the attack to go along with three tackles, one interception and two tackles in the defense. He should remain in a normal starting spot this season and is one of the better defenders in the Premier League for fantasy with his high volume of crosses and decent defending ability.

Moussa Diaby - Contributes assist in winDiaby assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

ImpactDiaby earned his second assist of the season after finding Leon Bailey for the final goal of the match. Bailey now has two goals and two assists on the season, bringing his goal contribution count to four through five games. The French attacker has been a great addition to the final third of the pitch for Crystal Palace, with his rapid speed and great attacking prowess being a constant isssue for defenders. He has started all five matches this season, contributing 11 shots, nine chances created and four crosses during than span.

Douglas Luiz - Bags goal from the spotDouglas Luiz scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 win over Crystal Palace.

ImpactLuiz grabbed the lead for Villa when he scored on a penalty kick after Chris Richards made a poor tackle in the box. Luiz now has two goals on the season, both coming from the spot after scoring a penalty kick against Everton. Outside of his chances on penalty kicks, the Brazilian doesn't contribute a whole lot in the attack, with most of his production coming in the defense. He contributed six tackles (four won), one interception, and a clearance on the defensive end of the pitch on Saturday.

Jhon Jader Duran Palacio - Nets equalizerJhon Duran scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-1 win versus Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 105th minute.

ImpactDuran helped Aston Villa to get back in the game by scoring a thunderous strike to level the game at one apiece. He now has two goals this season despite only playing 56 minutes this season. He had missed the first game of the season due to an injury but, since then, has appeared in every match as a substitute. It looks as if he will be playing more of a rotational role this season and will get most of his chances off the bench.

ImpactBailey put the seal on Saturday's victory when he scored a goal in the 101st minute to make the score 3-1. He now has two goals and one assist in four appearances despite only being a substitute in two of those matches. The attacker was a starter in the first two matches of the season, but since picking up an injury against Everton, he has missed one match and only has appeared as a substitute. Villa is likely still testing the waters with his injury, and he could be back starting at any point.

Emiliano Martinez - Allows one against Crystal PalaceMartinez recorded two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace.

ImpactMartinez was okay in Friday's match, making two saves and allowing one goal in Saturday's win. The Argentinian probably could have held a clean sheet, but he couldn't recover from his mistake in time after slipping while getting into position to make the save. The World Cup-winning keeper has struggled to start this season, allowing nine goals in four matches while making 13 saves. He will face a struggling Chelsea team in his next match.

Eberechi Eze - Active in lossEze registered four shots (two on goal), three crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Saturday's 3-1 loss against Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 17t...

ImpactEze didn't have his best match but also didn't have his worst, registering four shots, three crosses and one tackle in his 90 minutes of play. The English strikers role at the club this season is clearly being the main playmaker but he has only been able to register one goal contribution in his 450 minutes of play thus far. He has already started all five matches this season and should remain in that role pretty much every game this season.
