Aston Villa

The top-scoring Aston Villa FPL players by total season points are: Watkins (£8.0m, 167 pts), Martinez (£5.0m, 120 pts), Cash (£4.5m, 117 pts). These rankings update hourly from the FPL API.

Watkins takes penalties, Bailey takes direct free kicks, McGinn takes corners. Set-piece responsibility matters in FPL because penalty takers score goals and corner/free-kick takers accumulate assists. Data sourced from Onside curated taker lists + FBRef.

Aston Villa's next 3 fixtures: GW1 away vs Brighton (FDR 3 — moderate); GW2 at home vs Arsenal (FDR 4 — tough); GW3 away vs Hull City (FDR 2 — easy). Average FDR is 3.0 — a mixed schedule. Lower FDR means easier opposition.

Aston Villa have a mixed fixture run (avg FDR 3.0). 1–2 differential picks can be rewarding; captaincy relies on form. As a general rule, FPL squads with 3+ players from one team risk blank GW exposure if that club is in a cup run. Spread risk unless fixtures are clearly favourable.
