Established in 1874, Aston Villa have been gracing the football field for many a year. They boast the distinction of having Villa Park as their home ground, situated in the heartland of England. A ground well-worth a visit for any football aficionado, it has held witness to many a spectacle and memories to cherish.
As it stands, the Villa squad is furnished with a pool of 34 players. The average age across this cohort is a sprightly 24 years, which just goes to highlight the youthfulness and potential brimming within these ranks.
It's not just youth that distinguishes this team but also its monetary value. Current estimates have placed the total market value of this squad to be in the ballpark of £449m (Transfermarkt being the reference point here). Such a figure exhibits the worth and calibre of the team we're dealing with.
Aston Villa have had their plate full this season, spreading their skills across four competitions of note. These include the Premier League, where they're currently in a respectable 9th position, the FA Cup (where they managed to reach the fifth round), the League Cup (advancing till the fourth round), and lastly the Champions League where they managed to secure their position within the last 16. A commendable achievement indeed, showing their competence and tenacity within the footballing sphere.
