Emiliano Buendía Stati

PitchKeep Take · The Premier

Emiliano Buendía Stati is a midfielder for Aston Villa, age 29, £6.0m. The Premier ranks him 60th overall by splitting Sleeper BPL 2025 (#102, 121.6 points) with the consensus of 3 other boards (58.33). The industry still has him 44 spots ahead of the 2025/26 Sleeper count. The Premier pays that reputation something, not everything. Brand does not outrun a down year, and a down year does not erase a player Aston Villa still builds around.

The 2025/26 Premier League line is 21 starts and 1753 minutes, 6 goals and 2 assists, 49 tackles and 39 CBI. Official FPL scored it at 102 points (2.8 per match) with 10 bonus. Sleeper's table turned the same counting stats into 121.6. Midfielders get 9 a goal, 6 an assist, and 1 a clean sheet, plus a full tackle/CBI stream. That is why a six who plays every week can outrank a ten-goal winger who sits.

Underlying: 3.38 xG, 2.23 xA, 5.61 xGI. He finished 2.6 above expected goals. Set pieces: first-choice penalties, first-choice direct free-kicks for Aston Villa. Role at Aston Villa is the 2026/27 question sitting under the 2025/26 number. 21 starts is a starter. Anything under 25 starts is a rotation warning we already priced. Minutes are the skill that survives a finishing regression. The friendliest board is FPL Form at 41; the coldest is FPL Ownership at 163.

Market: £6.0m, 11 boards on the file. That is leftover money for a Premier-ranked name. If the minutes hold, this board already voted. FPL's own EP-next is 2.1. ICT 121.4.

Instruction: he is a starter in deep Sleeper and a squad/rotation piece in 10-team FPL. Pay Premier #60 money, not a leftover 2024 reputation, not waiver dust. Nearby on The Premier: James Maddison, Antonín Kinský, Moisés Caicedo Corozo. Versus The Pitch (Sleeper-only #102), the hybrid moves him up to #60. That move is the third list doing its job.

He is 29, which on this board is neither a dart nor a warning label. Prime-age midfielders get ranked on what they just did and whether Aston Villa still gives them the ball. 1753 minutes says yes. The 2026/27 FPL price (£6.0m) is the app's guess at whether that continues. The Premier is the blend of that guess and the box score.

How to use the file: The Pitch is the Sleeper-only 400 (he is #102 there). The Premier is the 50/50 with every other board we track. Attack, Midfield, Defence, and Keepers re-rank the same Sleeper table by position. BK Value on this page follows The Premier when you are on the hybrid calculator and The Pitch when you are on the Sleeper calculator. Same curve either way - 12,000 at 1.01. 6 yellows are a real Sleeper tax.
