Sent off for headbutt Douglas Luiz was shown a straight red card for an off the ball headbutt during Thursday's clash with Fulham.

Impact Douglas Luiz will be suspended for three matches for violent conduct, knocking him out for matches against Brentford, Newcastle, and Manchester United. Douglas Luiz was starting due to the absence of Boubacar Kamara so it's unclear who will step in to fill Luiz's role, with Leander Dendoncker one potential option. Douglas Luiz will be eligible to return against Brighton in the final match before the World Cup break.

Creates two chances Douglas Luiz had two shots (zero on goal), four crosses (three accurate), and three corners in Monday's 1-1 draw versus Nottingham Forest.

Impact Douglas Luiz continues his role on set-pieces with three corners and four crosses in total while creating a team-high two chances. The midfielder appears to be a nailed-on starter as long as Boubacar Kamara remains out, likely giving him a solid floor until after the World Cup. Douglas Luiz's role on set-piece make him an appealing option despite Villa's recent offensive struggles.

Six crosses Douglas Luiz had six crosses (one accurate) and six corners in Sunday's 0-0 draw to Leeds United.

Impact Douglas Luiz sent in six crosses and created two chances, both season-highs for the midfielder. With Boubacar Kamara out long-term it appears that Douglas Luiz will be a nailed-on starter in midfield. With a role on set-pieces and the ability to provide creativity from all over the pitch there should be plenty of volume, though goals have been hard to come by in this Aston Villa side.

Two corners in relief Douglas Luiz had two crosses (zero accurate) and two corners in Friday's 1-0 win versus Southampton.

Impact Luiz subbed onto the pitch during the 46th minute following a Boubacar Kamara leg knock. He got involved immediately, taking two corners before the half and putting one of them off the frame of the net. If Kamara is out for an extended period of time, Luiz will likely slide into the starting XI and enjoy some increased fantasy value.
