Emiliano Buendía is Aston Villa's Bronze Sniper, a player whose career is defined by clinical efficiency and technical graft. A two-time Championship winner with five major honours to his name, the 30-year-old Argentine has established himself as a reliable fixture in the squad since his arrival in the West Midlands.

This season, Buendía has evolved into a hybrid threat, blending his goalscoring instincts with a relentless Workrate score of 86. Operating primarily as a SUPER SUB—a badge he holds at Platinum tier—he has netted five goals across 21 appearances. Despite his 952 minutes on the pitch, his SILVER BOOT and THREAT status highlight a player who remains dangerous whenever called upon. While he is currently maintaining a consistent level of performance, his ENFORCER qualities ensure he contributes defensively, winning 69 duels to support the team's shape.

With a market value of €15M, Buendía’s role at the club remains significant even as his valuation experiences a slight cooling trend. His ability to change the Stakes of a match from the bench makes him an indispensable tactical tool for the manager.
