After Thursday night’s goalless draw against Burnley, there's barely time to draw breath before Aston Villa are back in action again.
However frustrating the stalemate might have been, there was one big positive to come from it – a sixth clean sheet of the season for Dean Smith's men.
No Premier League team has had more shut-outs this season and Villa have managed that despite playing only 11 times this term.
Tyrone Transfers
With that in mind, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) investment in the Villans' backline looks to be the way to go.
A number of Fantasy Managers agree, with more than 30,000 of them making Tyrone Mings (£5.3m) one of the top 30 transfers-in for Gameweek 14.
Additionally, 60,000+ have opted to purchase Jack Grealish (£7.8m), bumping up his ownership levels to over 43% and making him the third most popular player in FPL.
That's no surprise as the skipper has been phenomenal this season.
He's joint-top among midfielders for assists (six), in the top three for chances and big chances created (35 and seven respectively) and the top five for attempts (36) and goals (five).
Cash Back
But that resolute defence really needs tapping into by FPL Managers.
Sunday's opponents, West Brom, will be hoping for a new manager bounce as Sam Allardyce takes the reins for the first time at The Hawthorns.
Someone else who returns to contention is Matty Cash (£5.0m), who is available after serving his one-match ban against the Clarets and could offer the prospect of points at both ends of the pitch.
The right-back recorded his first assist of the season in the Gameweek 10 loss at West Ham.
But he's impressing defensively as well, top for tackles won (26) and interceptions (27).
He's also the team leader, with 65, when it comes to clearances, blocks and interceptions (CBI) - one of the key metrics when it comes to deciding whether a player earns FPL bonus points.
Cash could be a welcome fantasy present for FPL bosses this Christmas.
