Not many names could sneak higher as the ones they might have tried are already lower down. As for the top 10, if Foden was 16th with his double edged 2024, Watkins should be in that 10.

Yeah, it’s not the best list. I think someone posted it in The Watkins Thread, that section had James Rodriguez in it and keeper wise, Courtois and Mike Maignan were well down.

Not sure Watkins would even be in the top ten Villa players as voted for by Villa fans!

I don't see why not. He has got 20 goals and 10 assists for his club in 2024. Should easily be up there even if people think he has dropped off this season.

I agree, he'd definitely be in the top ten Villa players.

Watkins and Martinez have made the list but I suspect that will be it, which seems low considering we were 4th in the best league in the world.  That said, I’m not sure who else should make the cut.

Kamara, for me. I think he's definitely one of our three most important players and therefore would be in with a shout for that list.

Oh I agree, it was just a nod to all the criticism he gets!

If there is an argument that a lot of Villa fans would not put him Watkins in the first X1 right now.
Count me in.

Not sure why you wouldn't want Emi starting......

But assuming you are tagging on the end of the Watkins side track, we were talking about a list of players in the world, and someone stated he wouldn't get into the top 10 of best villa players in 2024 if voted by Villa fans. Nothing to do with first eleven.

Tracked down Emi's mural (they just call him "Dibu" here) in Buenos Aires yesterday. Have my Villa '81 retro shirt with me but it was too hot to wear it.
