What it means for FPL managers
Martinez remains a consistent presence for Villa, typically playing nearly every minute available. While his clean sheet totals have remained steady over the last three seasons, his current ownership of 4.7% makes him a potential differential for managers looking to avoid the heavily-owned premium goalkeepers.

The FPL verdict
Verdict: WATCHLIST - Martinez is a nailed-on starter who provides a reliable floor for your squad. With 120 points last campaign and a consistent history of playing over 2,800 minutes, he is a safe pair of hands for any manager. While his xGI is low, his ability to contribute the occasional assist keeps his potential slightly higher than typical budget-conscious picks. He is a solid, low-maintenance choice if you are allocating your budget elsewhere in the midfield or forward line.
