<h2><strong>Essential Aston Villa FPL Stats | Defensive Numbers</strong></h2>
<p>The obvious place to start with <strong>Aston Villa</strong> is in their superstar <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/who-are-the-best-fpl-premium-goalkeepers/"><strong>goalkeeper</strong></a> Emiliagoat <strong>Martinez (£5.5m)</strong> and his league high <strong>143 saves</strong> last season.</p>
<p>His contribution, in addition to the team <strong>blocking the 3<sup>rd</sup> most shots</strong> (159), gave Aston Villa the best over-performance in the <strong>expected goals allowed</strong> delta last season (-5.83). Martinez had the <strong>second highest xGP (expected goals allowed minus actual goals conceded)</strong> with 3.70.</p>
<p>If Martinez can limit his tally of <strong>3<sup>rd</sup> most saves parried to the opposition</strong> (27) there could be even more clean sheets in store for Aston Villa this season.</p>
<p><strong>Dean Smith</strong>&#8216;s men could have an easier time of it this season if they can cut down on their <strong>joint 2<sup>nd</sup> most red cards</strong> (5) from last season too.</p>

<h2><strong>Essential Aston Villa FPL Stats | Attacking Numbers</strong></h2>
<p>On the attacking side of the ball, <strong>no team created more chances from their left</strong> (166) or had <strong>more crosses in opponent’s half from the left</strong> (431).</p>
<p>Aston Villa also had the <strong>joint second-most chances from counter attacks (24)</strong>. Finally, <strong>Jack Grealish (£8.0m)</strong> being the <strong>most fouled player in the league</strong> gives Villa the <strong>most attempts from set pieces (142)</strong>.</p>
<p><span class="5Gqi7kIscxRa8pMPdNurXB3bjLZSoyQWUl2fVw9z"></p>
<blockquote class="wp-embedded-content" data-secret="LjpeD0LPZa"><p><a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/">Fantasy Premier League Stats by OPTA</a></p></blockquote>
<p><iframe class="wp-embedded-content" sandbox="allow-scripts" security="restricted" style="position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);" title="&#8220;Fantasy Premier League Stats by OPTA&#8221; &#8212; Fantasy Football Hub" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/embed/#?secret=LjpeD0LPZa" data-secret="LjpeD0LPZa" width="600" height="338" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Villains&#8217; attack should do well against <strong>teams who are vulnerable in the box</strong>. Aston Villa had the <strong>4<sup>th</sup> most shots in the box</strong> (344) last season and they have improved their attack this off-season.</p>
<p>They have added a creative element in <strong>Emiliano Buendia (£6.5m)</strong>, which should make their attack less predictable provided they can keep <strong>Grealish</strong>.</p>
