Impact Young had his most active performance on the attacking end since joining Everton, bringing a lot of danger with his crosses on both open play and set pieces. With his offensive acumen and an established role on set pieces, the winger turned left-back has a great fantasy upside on him.

Nets rare goal Young scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate), and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw to Nottingham Forest.

Impact Young scored once, his first goal in nearly two years of top-flight play. The full-back doesn't have the offensive upside he once had, though he's created seven chances in his last three matches while making three starts in that time. Young is a valuable play as long as he remains in the starting XI. That said that is likely only as long as Lucas Digne (heel) remains out, which should be a few more weeks at least.

Returning to Villa Young has signed a new one-year contract with Aston Villa, the club announced Monday.

Impact Young tallied two assists and three clean sheets across 24 Premier League appearances (10 starts) for Villa last season, playing all along the left side of the pitch. The 36-year-old has just signed on for another campaign, although his usage is likely to continue going down.

JULY 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ends season on bench Young finished this past season with two assists and 44 crosses in 24 league appearances (10 starts).

Impact Young saw a bit of time this season, but most of his starts came prior to Lucas Digne's addition to the squad. Young doesn't figure to have much of a role going forward outside of one from the bench while he serves as Digne's backup at left-back, and there's no guarantee he stays at Villa.

Impact Young was brought in the 14th minute, replacing injured Lucas Digne when his side was already down by one goal. And the veteran made things even worse for his side in the 36th minute, accidentally sending the ball into his own net when trying to clear a cross from the left flank. With Digne questionable for next Saturday's home match against Tottenham, Young will probably have an opportunity to redeem himself.

Back in squad Young (toe) is on the bench for Saturday's match against Manchester United.

Impact Young is back in the team Saturday after missing the last couple weeks with a toe injury. While he was getting starts prior to injury, the addition of Philippe Coutinho is likely to cut into Young's playing time, as is the health of everyone else in the side.

JANUARY 15, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Edging closer to return Young (toe) could be an option for Monday's FA Cup match, according to manager Steven Gerrard.

Impact Young is edging closer to being ready and even if he's not available Monday, he should be an option for the Jan. 15 league match. While he's found a decent amount of playing time under Gerrard, that could change once everyone is healthy and some transfers come in.

JANUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely Sunday Young (toe) is unlikely to play Sunday against Brentford, according to manager Steven Gerrard.

Impact Young is unlikely to play Sunday, though he has an "outside chance" according to Gerrard. The winger is a worthwhile fantasy option if starting, with Leon Bailey sidelined.
