We’ve crunched the numbers to discover which of those who made 10 or more appearances over the course of the campaign performed best.

Right-back Cash was voted player of the season by Villa’s supporters and he finished top of our rankings. An all-action performer, Cash is a big part of Steven Gerrard’s future plans.
Tyrone Mings - 6.59
In many ways Mings’ season summed up Villa’s. On some occasions he was excellent and on other occasions considerably less so. A real mixed bag.
Emi Martinez - 6.57

John McGinn - 6.55

Ashley Young - 6.42

Emi Buendia - 6.15
An often frustrating first season for Villa’s record signing, despite a smattering of excellent performances.
Ezri Konsa - 6.08
This was supposed to be the season Konsa barged his way into the England squad. Instead, he found himself dropped from Villa’s team in April.
Ollie Watkins - 6.04
A rating which reflects too many off days for the striker, who nevertheless finished top scorer for the second year running.
Danny Ings - 5.95
Last summer’s £25million signing described his own season as underwhelming. A strong finish provided reason for hope.

Philippe Coutinho - 5.69
Scored the highest individual mark of the season (9) for his display in March’s 4-0 win against Southampton.
