Aston Villa are teaming up with the No.1 independent fantasy football site in 2020/21. 

Fantasy Football Scout will be providing regular reports packed with hints and tips to help you, hopefully, move into the top tier of fantasy football management.

Need some help with your FPL line-up, sit back and take their advice on board…



There are big points on offer for Fantasy Premier League managers who make the most of Double Gameweek 26.

There are seven additional matches in this week’s schedule, with 14 sides playing twice between now and next Thursday.

Align your FPL team with these bonus fixtures and you could extend you mini-league leads or claw back the deficit against your biggest rivals.

Aston Villa look set to play a pivotal part in Double Gameweek 26 as they prepare to face Leeds United and Sheffield United on the road.

Martinez magic

Emiliano Martinez

Emi Martínez (£5.3m) remains the most fashionable FPL goalkeeper with 37.4% of managers invested in him at the time of writing.

The Villa shot-stopper is some way ahead in this popularity contest too, considering his ownership is 20.9 percentage points higher than second-placed Alex McCarthy (£4.5m).

Martínez is an even better option considering he is fourth-best for saves this season (89).

Traore time

Aston Villa vs Leicester City

Bertrand Traoré’s goal and bonus point in Gameweek 25 has put him, at £5.9m, on the FPL radar ahead of Saturday’s deadline too.

At just 0.6% ownership he has the potential to be a powerful differential and, with attacking returns in two of the last three Gameweeks, is in a good run of form ahead of playing two matches in one round.

Watkins wonder

Aston Villa vs Arsenal

Ollie Watkins (£6.5m) is the fourth-most transferred-in player ahead of Double Gameweek 26, with over 128,000 managers already investing in Villa’s number 11.

The forward has returned in four of the last seven Gameweeks and has been a bit unfortunate not to find the net more often during that time.
