IAN MAATSEN
Defender · Aston Villa · Premier League
“An adventurous full-back who plays like an extra winger.”
GoalPost verdict
GoalPost score (GPS)
GoalPost read
Maatsen is a full back in his prime, still developing, with his sharpest form at Burnley. Value stays held down because he does not yet secure a starting place and his level of league weighs on the price.

Analysis overview
Maatsen is a front-foot defender who likes to get high and wide, then attack space with clean, direct movement. In possession, he gives width, overlaps aggressively, and looks to combine quickly before delivering from advanced areas. Out of possession, he is still refining the defensive side of the role, but his energy and recovery running suit a modern full-back game.
