Matty Cash
28-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cash appeared in 27 Premier League matches in 2024/25, contributing one goal, one assist, and steady two-way involvement from right-back. He was regularly relied upon in both domestic and European fixtures, showing strong availability during a long and demanding season for Villa. His ability to log consistent minutes since 2020, with at least 1,800 league minutes in each Premier League campaign, makes him an important piece heading into 2025/26, especially with Aston Villa competing on multiple fronts again. If he stays fit, Cash will hope to reach better numbers for the season, similar to 2021/22 when he started every game and reached four goals and three assists.
Assists from corner in victory
Cash assisted once to go with six crosses (two accurate) and five corners in Wednesday's 4-3 win over Brighton.
ANALYSIS
Cash delivered the 60th-minute corner that Amadou Onana converted, swinging the ball into a crowd at the back post for the midfielder to attack. From right-back he offered constant overlap and width, especially once Villa were chasing the game at 2-0 down. Defensively, he had shaky moments early as Brighton's left side found space, but he recovered to contest crosses and help see out the final minutes. His set-piece quality and work rate were central to Villa's second-half pressing, highlighted by his two chances created, five corners and six crosses.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Forest interested in reunion?
Nottingham Forest are interested in signing Cash, according to The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Cash is the starter on the right side of Aston Villa's defensive line, so Nottingham Forest will have a challenging task trying to sign him. The Poland international hasn't given any signs of wanting to leave, but that might change if Villa end up signing a new right-back in the final days of the transfer window.
