Save potential and improved Villa defence boost Martínez’s FPL appeal

Aston Villa 1-0 Sheff Utd

  • Goals: Ezri Konsa (£4.5m)
  • Assists: Tyrone Mings (£5.0m)
  • Penalties saved: Emi Martínez (£4.5m)
  • Penalties missed: John Lundstram (£5.5m)
  • Red cards: John Egan (£5.0m)
  • Bonus points: Konsa x3, Martínez x2, Mings x1

Aston Villa’s defence picked up where they left on in Project Restart as they saw out a 1-0 win over Sheffield United in Gameweek 2.

Dean Smith’s men made major improvements at the back following the enforced suspension of the Premier League, ranking inside the division’s top six for big chances conceded, shots on target faced and expected goals conceded (xGC).

And all of that was on display against the Blades, as they registered a third successive home clean sheet in the league.

A key player in that shutout was new goalkeeper Emi Martínez (£4.5m), who already looks like a strong contender for the best option in his price bracket moving forward.

The former Arsenal man was on-hand to preserve the Villa clean sheet on Monday night as he produced an incredible save from John Lundstram‘s (£5.5m) penalty. Combined with the shut-out and a total of two bonus, Martínez registered a 13-point haul for Gameweek 2.

That said, for all Villa’s assuredness at the back on Monday night, there was, of course, one big mitigating factor: Sheffield United. Not only have the Blades really struggled to find any kind of goal threat in their first two games, but they also had to play 78 minutes of Gameweek 2 with 10 men.

A long ball over the top of Sheffield United’s high line pitted the rapid Ollie Watkins (£6.0m) against John Egan (£5.0m) in the 12th minute. The centre-back had no choice but to hold the striker back, earning a red card for denying a goal-scoring opportunity.

Chris Wilder was then forced to remove David McGoldrick (£5.5m) in the 31st minute, replacing him with Ethan Ampadu (£4.5m) and deploying a largely ineffective 4-4-1 formation.

While most teams would have found it relatively easy to keep a clean sheet in such circumstances, there is still plenty to like about Martínez moving forward. With Villa generally more assured of defensive returns at home anyway, the fact that Leeds, Southampton, Brighton and Newcastle are four of the next five to visit Villa Park bodes well.

And even though Smith’s men are set to face Liverpool (home), Leicester (away), Arsenal (away) and Wolves (away) between now and Gameweek 12, Martínez displayed enough save potential during Project Restart to convince any potential buyers of his credentials outside of the favourable fixtures. During that period, only the relegated Tim Krul made more saves than the Spaniard (28).

Martínez also looks like the better option when compared with Ezri Konsa (£4.5m) or Tyrone Mings (£5.0m), even though we have only seen Villa play once this season. The former scored the only goal of the game but it was his only touch in the penalty box all night, while Mings arguably remains too expensive to consider seriously.

Furthermore, one of the main things that Smith changed to improve his team’s defensive prospects at the end of last season was to rein in the marauding runs made by his full-backs so it remains to be seen what Matt Targett (£4.5m) and Matty Cash (£5.0m) can offer this season.

As was well-documented during Project Restart, the more conservative use of Villa’s full-backs continues to pose some restrictions on the team’s level of goal threat, so Fantasy managers may want to give Smith’s front-three a little more time before investing too heavily.

Naturally, Jack Grealish (£7.0m) remains the hub of the team, creating chances and using his position as a left-hand wide-forward to register a healthy number of shots on goal. Against Sheffield United, he was mostly restricted to lower quality opportunities, the sort we are used to seeing from Mohamed Salah (£12.1m). An 80th-minute effort summed up his evening perfectly. Grealish showed some nice feet to get into the left-hand corner of the box, flashing a powerful shot at goal and grazing the outside of the post. 

Then, Grealish got on the end of a counter-attacking cross from Trézéguet (£5.5m) in stoppage time, unleashing a fierce left-footed shot, only to see it blocked by Lundstram and a crowd of Sheffield United defenders.

The addition of Watkins may help in that respect. He added some much-needed pace to Villa’s front-line, which he used to good effect and might have capitalised on it, were it not for Egan’s 12th-minute foul. He went close again in the 77th minute, cutting inside on the left-hand side of the box and curling an effort just over the top-right corner of Aaron Ramsdale‘s (£5.0m) goal.

Meanwhile, the state of Sheffield United’s defence will be of encouragement to Fantasy managers with Leeds and Arsenal assets in the coming weeks.

The Blades have been on the back foot for large spells in each of their first two games of the season and must face an in-form Leeds attack without the lynch-pin of their back-three on Sunday afternoon, as Egan is suspended for one match. Promising youngster Ampadu is perhaps the most likely to replace the Republic of Ireland international.

Meanwhile, the next five Gameweeks pit Sheffield United against sides with important Fantasy defenders too, including Leeds, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. Anyone invested in the backlines of those sides will have enjoyed what they have seen, or rather, haven’t seen, from Sheffield United so far this season.

After the first two Gameweeks, no club has registered fewer shots than Wilder’s men (13) and they are the only team yet to find the net in 2020/21.

There will be some Fantasy managers keeping an eye on Sheffield United’s attack though, as budget midfielder Oliver Burke (£4.5m) was deployed as a centre-forward on Monday night.

Unfortunately, Egan’s sending-off occurred too soon in the game for us to glean too much of what Burke can offer as an out-of-position option this season, perhaps something to look out for in subsequent matches.

Despite being left to plough a lone furrow in a 4-4-1 formation, the former West Bromwich Albion man did perform admirably in the rare moments when he was in possession. Burke showed off his pace on sparing counter-attacks and was denied an almost certain assist in the first half by a Targett foul.

He played an incredible through-pass from the edge of the box, which connected with the overlapping run of Chris Basham (£5.0m) inside Villa’s six-yard box. It looked to be a certain goal before Targett stuck out a leg and fouled the marauding defender.

With Oliver Norwood (£5.0m) and Billy Sharp (£6.0m) not in the starting line-up and McGoldrick already sacrificed for tactical reasons, Lundstram was the man to step up and take the penalty, having also assumed responsibility for corners. As already mentioned, it was not a bad effort at all, simply well-saved by Martínez. Whether the former budget defender gets another chance from the spot probably relies on personnel rather than the quality of his penalty. The chances of Norwood, Sharp and McGoldrick all being off the pitch the next time Sheffield United win a penalty seems rather unlikely.

Aston Villa XI (4-3-3): Martínez; Targett, Konsa, Mings, Cash; McGinn, D Luiz, Hourihane (Davis 62′); Grealish, Watkins, Trézéguet.

Sheffield United XI (3-5-2): Ramsdale; O’Connell, Egan, Basham (McBurnie 68′); Stevens, Fleck (Osborn 63′), Berge, Lundstram, Baldock; McGoldrick (Ampadu 31′), Burke.

    TAA, Podence (no everton cover)
    or.
    Castagne and Rodriguez
    ?

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      First lot

  2. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I imagine this is relatively template...thoughts?

    Martinez
    VVD James Saiss
    Salah KDB Son Barnes
    Wood Jiminez DCL

    Steer; Anguissa, Taylor, Mitchell

    - Like the look of Wood over anyone 6.5 and less. Proven, and will tick over nicely.
    - Had Barnes from the start and don't want to drop before those 2 juicy home fixtures after City.
    - Considering Salah > Sterling.
    - I am a bit concerned about no United or Chelsea attack, but don't feel I'll get burned if I plan on jumping onto the form picks when they do show us it.

    1. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I like it, I'm also going Barnes on WC. Mine is basically the same actually bar Foden instead of Wood

      1. That Was Easy!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers, yeah the 4.5/6.5 slot for me isn't final yet. I like Mitro, Wood, Foden, Podence (allows for TAA), Trossard.

        1. ElliotJHP
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Ah yes other difference I have is Trent/4.5s over Virg/James. Moved early on the WC so was able to do that.

          Think I prefer Robbo/4.5 to Van Dijk/James but looks good.

          My thinking is a midfield 5 looks great - Happy to have DCL as a possible downgrade if he falls off to Wood or another 6.5 to 6 when the form/fixtures allign

          1. That Was Easy!
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Yep, certainly like the look of a midfield 5 and imagine it might actually offer more flexbility. Either way, heads are in the right place and imagine they will be successful. I'm considering Son > Pulisic next week as a move to free up some funds.

            Will mull over Robbo + 4.5. Who do you like from the 4.5 lot?

            1. ElliotJHP
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I've got Taylor too & Lamptey.

              Also like Konsa if not going Martinez in goal. Another Palace defender like Ward or Sakho might not be the worse shout

            2. ElliotJHP
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I really like Pulisic too and will be monitoring fitness, all the best - season starts here for me ha!

  3. xHaTr
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Foden or Chris Wood?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I like Chris Wood myself. I Imagine Foden will be moved into the midfield and rotated. While he's certainly a great option, I'd rather have a penalty taker who plays 90 each game.

    2. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Both great options think I'll take a punt on Foden

  4. davies
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Those who haven’t wildcarded yet.... when do you plan on using it?

    GW4 looks ideal imo.

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      As late as possible

      1. yakirh
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This, of course.

      2. JBG
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        This

      3. Top 210 Club
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        this

      4. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Agree with this

    2. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably within 2-6 GWs

  5. The Wanton Trader
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Can I get away with this...

    Johnstone
    Robbo / Digne / Ward
    Auba / Sterling / Rashford / Pereira
    Wilson / Werner / Mitrovic

    Button / Soucek / Ferguson / Struijk

    I really don’t want to W/C, but I haven’t even hit 100 pts yet... 🙁

    1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Hit the button asap

        1. The Wanton Trader
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          That bad? 🙁
          Maybe I’ll have a go at making a W/C team and see if it gets any love.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              3 years, 6 months ago

              I mean it's not that bad in isolation, thinking more from a how can you catch up and overtake people viewpoint

        2. ElliotJHP
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Me neither pal pulling the WC offered a sweet release.

          Looking at the fixtures Sunday feels like the moment I hit the ton

          1. ElliotJHP
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            This team is in better nick than mine was however and you can get away with it for sure

          2. The Wanton Trader
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I just feel like my team looks good and I have maybe been a bit unlucky.
            I might just give it another couple of weeks, because I know if I start to build a W/C team, it will inevitably end with me pushing the button.

            Who’s to say people won’t be wildcarding to a team like mine after this weekend... 🙂

        3. TomSaints
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Play the long game. Big fixture swings later on to catch up with a well timed wc.

          I’d maybe do Aubameyang and Wilson to Jiminez and Rodríguez (or Son or Zaha etc).

          Probably will do within 10-20 points of a wc anyway.

          1. The Wanton Trader
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I’ve been looking at something similar to that. Cheers

        Sorry bottomed:
        A) Soucek
        B) Podence -4

        1. Gabbiadini
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Podence
          -4 worth it with fixtures.

        2. That Was Easy!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          One of those moves you will continue to not do if you overthink it, make it now and see the points back in the coming weeks.

          1. Jeremy Corbyn
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I’m not sure I’m not talking the right decisions because of overthinking but I get your point, this is a tricky one though

          2. Goonsquad245
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            This, get it out the way if you’re gonna do it eventually anyway. Opportunity cost will rear it’s head in future gameweeks

      • Alan Hansen's Emu
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Answers on a postcard please...

        Q1:
        Barnes (playing like a striker) vs Hamez (heartbeat of team)

        Q2:
        A) Kane, Bamford + Barnes, Hamez
        B) Jiminez, Bamford + Son, Hamez
        C) Jiminez, Mitro + Son, Barnes

        1. DannyDrinkVodka
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Q1: Barnes could be amazing, I would say go with him if you already have DCL
          Q2: C, although I would suggest stretching to Werner for Jimenez.......

          1. Alan Hansen's Emu
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Thanks. I dont have DCL, so would be my only EVE asset.

            Haha I've just taken Werner out! Thinking Wolves next group of fixtures looks tasty.

            Do you prefer Kane or Son?

              Looking like it

              Yep. It's impossible he keeps up what he has over the first 2 weeks.

                3 years, 6 months ago

                Don't think anyone expects that, but I expect his returns will more than match the price

                What's the rationale that it's impossible? The stats?

                  Why does he need to keep that up?

                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  I don't think his recent output is the norm, but I think he's under-valued and will continue to return goals and points.

                  1. Gabbiadini
                    • 6 Years
                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    I also think there's more value for the next coming fixtures than DCL at 7.2

              4. Tempestic
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                I think I will go Wood for the next 3, SOU, new, wba vs cry, BHA, LIV and then maybe switch if he still looks good

                  • 8 Years

                  I think this could be an excellent idea

                  Though EVE look far more adventurous than BUR

                    3 years, 6 months ago

                    It's not so much the points he's already bagged - it's the fixtures going forward. If not DCL in that bracket, who?
                    Mitro is viable, but not Antonio, Wilson, Adams, the 6ms at Palace. Watkins maybe but untested. Bamford not sustainable.
                    I think DCL gets in by default.

              I don't think there is a long term pick to be honest.

              I do think there's a case of putting 6.5 up front and rotating that attacker:

              GW3 Wood
              GW6 Mitro
              GW9 Wilson
              GW15 Antonio

              Castagne, is he worth 1 M (or prob 0.9 now) more than Justin?

              1. AuFeld
                • 7 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Justin's game time will come to an abrupt end when Pereira is fit. I think Castagne is worth the extra outlay.

                having watched both Leicester games Castagne has looked way better than Justin

                  433 or 442 maybe

              Hamez or Zaha

              (or any other midfielder under 8.6?)

                • 5 Years

                This is supposed to be Pulisic's slot 8.5-ish.

              Any ideas when Ferguson is back from injury? My defence is looking thin to say the least....

              TAA - Justin - Davies - Vinagre - Ferguson

              1. chaser123

                • 6 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                Expected life:
                Justin - 2 games before Pereira is back
                Davies - 1 or 2 games before replaced by Reguilon
                Vinagre - 1 game whilst Marcel is out
                Ferguson - out for the next 2 games

                Am I completely wrong here? Either way, I think I need to transfer out two over the next 3 weeks!?

                  Looks about right.

                  I'd like to know how long Mee is out for. Want to know if Dunne is worth the risk for a while

              TAA - Saiss - Taylor - Justin - Mitchell

                Seems like he should, he's already 24% of the way to a second rise in just 12 hours after the first rise.

                  Unless you mean double rise from the current price of 11.6?

                  Those not on a WC are jettisoning Auba in droves. I would imagine a large proportion are going for KDB so I would expect further rises.

              Ive got a million in the bank, pretty settled with my WC
              Thoughts on using 0.5 to upgrade to another 4.5 GK?
              I know alot of people go against it, but if you have the chance would you?

                I like it, I'm an Orient fan and we've just had our whole team wiped by COVID, imagine we won't be able to play for a couple of weeks.

                If nothing else, doing this move saves you from this happening to a Prem side.

              the template moves?

              Fairly happy with that but I do want to remove Puli and get Zaha or Hamez but his stats last season was amazing. 17 G+A in 1717 minutes (19 games)
