Caps & goals this season.
M. Cash is a 28-year-old full-back at Aston Villa, rated 70.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 511th of 1152 in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (96.3% 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 39 — 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 → 39). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 71, 40th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 28 Cash is in his prime years, and a market index of 85.1 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.
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.
With a Rating of 70.9, Cash carries the 40th-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 (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~142), then tapers with age. At 28, Cash sits on 85.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Cash's projected Rating — 70.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
