Lee Jackson joins James on the conclusion of Day 4 to discuss all things Aston Villa, and the recording comes hot after Morgan Rogers limped off only seven minutes into his appearance for Aston Villa last night. There's discussion on Villa with and without Rogers, and what it might mean for talisman Ollie Watkins ahead of the opener against Newcastle and a very appealing opening seven fixtures. Donyell Malen was catching the attention of the FPL community even before the Rogers injury scare, his prospects, the fellow 5.5 midfielders and the slightly more expensive Youri Tielemans are assessed. And Villa did start keeping clean sheets towards the end of the season. With those brilliant fixtures in mind is there a 4.5 gem to be considered?

One noteworthy highlight of the season for the blaugranes has been the rapid emergence of Lamine Yamal onto the scene. The winger has swiftly become a crucial player for the first-team under coach Xavi Hernández. Despite his relatively short career, the teenager has already established several records. As we enter the international break, let's delve into these significant milestones. Goalscoring records and record debuts Lamine Yamal achieved his latest milestone by scoring against Granada last Sunday, making him the youngest goalscorer in La Liga history at the age of 16 years and 87 days. This accomplishment surpasses the previous record set by Málaga's Fabrice Olinga in 2012. Additionally, Yamal now holds the title of the youngest goal-scorer for Barcelona in league history, surpassing the previous record set by Ansu Fati by over a year. Youngest goalscorer for FC Barcelona in LA LIGA Player Age Lamine Yamal 16 Years and 87 Days Ansu Fati 16 Years and 304 Days Bojan Krkic 17 Years and 53 Days Gavi 17 Years and 135 Days Alfons Navarro 17 Years and 244 Days Just last Wednesday, Lamine Yamal added another record to his name at the Estádio do Dragão in Portugal. He became the youngest starter in the history of the Champions League, being included in the starting XI during the 1-0 victory over FC Porto. Earlier, on August 20th, the teenager made history as the youngest starter for Barça in a match against Cádiz, contributing to a 2-0 win. This accomplishment not only marked him as the youngest starter for Barcelona but also the youngest La Liga starter since the beginning of the century. Youngest Starter of all time in the Champions League Player Age Lamine Yamal 16 Yaers and 83 Days Celestine Babayaro 16 Years and 86 Days Youri Tielemans 16 Years and 148 Days Ansu FAti 16 Years and 321 Days Anthony Vanden Borre 16 Years and 326 Days Debut at 15 years of age Lamine Yamal made his debut for the Barça first team last season during week 32 of La Liga in a match held at the Spotify Camp Nou against Betis. Remarkably, at the tender age of 15 years, 9 months, and 25 days, he became the youngest player in Barcelona's league history and the fifth youngest of all time. History with the national team Lamine Yamal's impressive performances in a Barça shirt earned him a call-up to the full Spanish national side, and at the age of just 16 years and 57 days, he made his debut. What's more, he not only surpassed the record held by his teammate Gavi to become the youngest player to represent Spain, but Yamal also left his mark by scoring the final goal in the 7-1 victory over Georgia, making him the youngest-ever goalscorer for the national team. The 16- year-old has made a superb beginning to his professional career for both club and national team, but he should not be compared to the scapegoat. Still, a snapshot even let them loose, If it was Lamine Yamal's capability that started the Lionel Messi comparisons. The likeness, broadly propagated on social media, is just five years old. A slight Yamal, wearing a grayish Nike hoodie and Tottenham sweats, poses with a smirking Messi. It isn't the image of a upcoming star, or, additionally importantly, a player who knows he is being with one. But it has since get a source of propaganda, proof of' the first link- up' or a visual representation of' when excellence meets greatness'. Still, the picture, although overdrawn, does deliver precious surroundings to one of new age football's top issues. Barcelona, and the sport at large, is repeatedly in hunt of its' following Messi.' After that, still, the parallels end. Yamal, although he has delighted an immensely hopeful beginning to his Barca and Spain career, could do with molting the Messi relationship. But while his precursors were freighted by it — and have spent maximum of their careers trying and crashing to hit those tall heights — Yamal is too good in his own way.

Suj & James kick off Correspondent Week Friday with Leicester City correspondent Aaron Lagor and there's only one place to start, where's the signings? But with no European distractions and key players like Wesley Fofana fit again Leicester could kick on but doubts remain about the futures of the likes of Youri Tielemans. For FPL managers there are plenty of interesting options; the 4.5 full-backs appeal, midfielders James Maddison (8.0), Harvey Barnes (7.0) and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (5.0) should all be considered and Jamie Vardy always starts a season well. Plus, Kasper Schmeichel could be leaving, is Brendan Rodgers under pressure and the importance of The Foxes opening two home games and the brilliant run from Gameweek 9...
