How Gerrard can bring his winning formula to Villa

The Scout is tipping five players to produce big points in Gameweek 12 of 2021/22 Fantasy Premier League.

Matty Cash (AVL) £5.1m

The appointment of Steven Gerrard as Aston Villa head coach can boost the defender’s output in Fantasy.

Gerrard favours a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 formation, with the wingers occupying central areas when his side are in possession.

This requires the full-backs to push forward and offer support in advanced wide areas.

Certainly, Cash offered plenty of attacking threat while playing as a wing-back in a 3-5-2 recently. 

His 10 shots and six shots in the box both ranked among the top three players for Villa over the last seven Gameweeks. 

Cash's goal v Everton

The Villa man also fares well when assessed against other defenders in Fantasy this season.

Cash’s total of 12 shots ranks joint-fifth overall in his position, level with Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk (£6.7m).

A home encounter with Brighton & Hove Albion in Gerrard’s first match in charge gives Cash the chance to immediately make an impact.

The right-back has been far more successful playing at Villa Park this term.

He has scored once and supplied three clean sheets, averaging 5.6 points per match (ppm).

By contrast, he has managed a mere 1.8ppm away from home, claiming a single shutout in six road trips.

Gerrard’s tactics look set to give Cash plenty of opportunities to push forward against Brighton on Saturday, lifting his prospects of more returns in Fantasy.
