Scout report
M. Cash is a 29-year-old full-back at Aston Villa, rated 62.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 242nd of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (88.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.03 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Cash.
Judged on this season alone, Cash graded 38 — a strong campaign that ranks top 29% of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League, on 8 clean sheets and 3.028 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 29 → 38). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 62, 43rd of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 29 Cash is in his prime years, and a market index of 41.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Cash missed 3 games through injury (contusion, yellow cards, knock) out of roughly 38 this season. The 35 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Aston Villa finished 4th of 20 · an upper-table side
3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 35 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 3 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 88.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.18 goal involvements per 90, useful for a full-back.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 98.4/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 62.2, Cash carries the 43rd-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 64. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
