John McGinn
Every game · two assists · second on corners
Nailed in every game and a set-piece taker. A cheap midfielder, not a captaincy option.

Zion Suzuki
Started four of five
The first-choice keeper now. Villa have kept one clean sheet, so this is a cheap starter, not a points engine.

Nicolas Jackson
Leads the line · second on penalties
The forward starting for Villa since Watkins left. Barely owned, and priced for the goals Villa are not yet scoring.
