Lucas Digne

Aston Villa welcomed Bologna at Villa Park earlier tonight as they looked to secure a good result at home in the UEFA Europa League. The Villans made a decent start to the game and got their noses ahead in the 16th minute when Ollie Watkins found the back of the net. Emi Buendia doubled his […] The post Digne Gets 8.5, Rogers With 8 | Aston Villa Players Rated In Dominant Win Vs Bologna appeared first on The 4th Official - A view from the sideline.

Suj & James welcome Aston Villa correspondent Lee Jackson on to the Podcast discuss hopes for improvements in Steven Gerrard's first full season in charge and the majority of the squad are showing themselves as interesting options for FPL managers with great opening fixtures. Matty Cash v Lucas Digne may be a closer decision than current ownership numbers suggest in the battle between the 5.0 defenders, but their output could be affected by the formation Gerrard selects. It's 4-3-3 or a diamond but it's not clear if there's a favoured set up and the potential impact could affect several players including the popular Phillipe Coutinho (7.0), Leon Bailey (5.0) and Danny Ings (7.0). Plus, an intro to new signings Diego Carlos and Boubacar Kamara, why Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins together doesn't seem to work like it feels like it should, who will have favourtism between Tyrone Mings and Ezri Konsa and why the exciting Carney Cuckwuemeka may be leaving the club...

On this Planet FPL Clash of the Correspondents Podcast James is joined by Aston Villa fan Lee Jackson and Crystal Palace fan Migtavius to discuss all the latest at their clubs ahead of the final double gameweek of the season which includes Sunday's meeting for the two clubs at Villa Park. There's discussion on if Philippe Coutinho will get back into the Villa team following Saturday's excellent win at Burnley, if Danny Ings could now be the preferred forward option over Ollie Watkins for FPL managers, Lucas Digne's shock return and if he's now a better option in Fantasy than Matty Cash. Is there any reason for FPL managers not to buy Wilfried Zaha? Arguably not, but there are cheaper options that could be considered, they're discussed as are defensive enablers and so to is recently dropped Jean-Philippe Mateta. And with both clubs set for a mid table finish there's a look at what the longer term ambitions are for the two clubs...

Day 3 of Correspondent Week begins with Sean Norton joining Suj & James to discuss all things Everton ahead of their GW1 opener against Southampton. The Pod begins by getting Sean's feelings on Carlo Ancelotti's departure and the arrival of Rafa Benitez, a man many Evertonians are already against due to his association with their Merseyside rivals. With a brilliant fixture list to start the season, Sean gives his opinion on popular FPL options Lucas Digne and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, differential options, enablers and new signings, the 5.5 pair of Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend. But investment comes with a big warning... do Everton need to sell with concerns raised about passing Financial Fair Play regulations...?

On the first of two Clash of the Correspondents this week James welcomes Everton correspondent Sean Norton and Aston Villa correspondent Adam Hopcroft to discuss their GW34 meeting at Goodison Park. A fixture that is also likely to be repeated in GW35 which would mean a Double Gameweek for both teams. With the second Villa fixture still in hand could Everton yet make a late push for a Champions League place in the remaining Gameweeks? We discuss the switch to a back four in Friday's win at Arsenal and the FPL assets such as Lucas Digne & Dominic Calvert-Lewin who may appeal, especially with Sheffield United at home likley to follow a Double. With Villa it's easier to make an assessment of who is likely to play in the continued absence of talisman Jack Grealish but should their FPL assets appeal more than those at Everton? Can Emi Martinez again solve a Goalkeeping issue that many may have? And we discover why like it or not the two clubs can't be shaken from the minds of many FPL managers.

James welcomes West Brom correspondent Gemma Eno & Everton correspondent Sean Norton discuss the latest at their clubs and their GW26 meeting at The Hawthornes which is the second part of a double Gameweek for both. For West Brom two encouraging draws since Gemma's last CotC appearance and there is now a sense of positivity albeit a mircale is required to avoid relegation. Sam Johnstone's prospects in the double are discussed and ahead of a run of 4 positive looking fixtures, plus the impact of Okay Yoksuslu & Mbaye Diagne are discussed and 2 interesting defensive options have emerged. While for Sean & Everton there is joy following a first win at Anfield in 21 years but caution of inconsistencies ahead of the double with Southampton & The Baggies. Lucas Digne prospects are talked up, plus a look at alternative defensive options, Richarlison & Rodriguez importance and we ask if Dominic Calvert-Lewin can be trusted with the Triple Captaincy chip this coming week...
