VillaConsistent starter for Villa
Rogers has started every game for Aston Villa since the beginning of February, although he's recorded just one goal in those 10 matches.
Analysis: Rogers' lone goal in that span came in a 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on Feb. 7, but the England international has been a reliable playmaking threat for Villa. Over that 10-game stretch, Rogers is averaging 2.8 shots, 1.7 chances created, 2.4 crosses and 1.0 clearances per game. Contributing in more goals or assists would certainly boost his fantasy upside, but as it is, he has a decent floor as a playmaking threat.
Four shots in loss
Rogers recorded four shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-0 defeat versus Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Rogers got the nod up front and looked to spark Villa in a scrappy, rain-soaked battle, but Wolves' compact block kept him from finding many clean looks in dangerous areas. That said, he still let four shots fly (two on target), marking the sixth time this season he's hit that volume, yet his recent dip in form continued as he's now gone four straight appearances across all competitions without a goal or an assist.
Four shots in win
Rogers generated four shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 1-0 win versus Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 50th minute.
Analysis: Rogers led the Aston Villa attacking effort Wednesday with four shot attempts (one on goal) as they earned a narrow 1-0 home victory over Brighton. Rogers has landed at least one shot on target across his last six league appearances (six starts). Across that span, he's scored once and created 12 chances.
Scores against Bournemouth
Rogers scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 1-1 draw versus AFC Bournemouth.
Analysis: Rogers grabbed his eighth Premier League goal of the season with a well-placed finish assisted by Jadon Sancho. He has shown steady improvement this year, already matching last season's league goal tally in 12 fewer matches. He has taken 53 shots and created 31 chances, numbers that highlight his elite attacking upside and have helped him reach 13 goal contributions so far. Rogers will next face Brighton & Hove Albion, who are currently winless in their last five league matches, presenting a favorable opportunity to stay productive.
Decent day attacking
Rogers had four shots (one on goal), six crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Brentford. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 93rd minute.
Analysis: Rogers would have a solid day in the attack despite a loss, recording two chances created, four shots and six crosses. However, it does end his two-match streak with a goal contribution, remaining at seven goals and five assists in 24 appearances this season. He remains a top player in the team, seeing much more success when he is on his game.
Assists opener in 2-0 win
Rogers assisted once to go with two shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-0 victory versus Newcastle United.
Analysis: Rogers provided his fifth assist of the season as he supplied Emiliano Buendia for the opening goal of the game. In his last 10 matches in all competitions, he has scored five goals and provided two assists. Overall, he has scored seven goals along with his five assists. This was the sixth game in a row in which he created at least two chances, and the fourth domestic game in a row in which he put two shots on target.
Six shots in defeat
Rogers generated six shots (two on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 1-0 loss to Everton.
Analysis: Rogers had Aston Villa's best volume of looks, forcing Jordan Pickford into saves from distance in both halves. He also missed chances in the second half, firing over from the right side of the box around the hour mark and then from a central position a few minutes later. Rogers set a new second highest mark this season with six shots while adding two chances created to his outing. His ball carrying kept Villa moving forward, but Everton's block and Jordan Pickford's handling held firm and did not allow him to find a goal contribution.
Dishes helper in win
Rogers assisted once to go with two shots (zero on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and two chances created in Saturday's 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Rogers helped his side open the scoring by setting up Ollie Watkins for a shot from outside the box early in first-half extra time. The assist marked the first in six league outings but was also the fifth goal contribution in that span for Rogers. This also marked his fifth straight league appearance with at least two shots, but he has not had a shot on target in the three most recent of those matches.
Bags another brace
Rogers scored two goals to go with seven shots (three on goal) in Sunday's 2-1 win against Manchester United.
Analysis: Rogers scored a brace in his second straight match Sunday, his third in the past month. He scored the opener right before halftime off a John McGinn assist, then scored the winner in the 57th minute with an assist by Ollie Watkins. He recorded a season-high seven shots (three on target), surpassing his previous season high of five which he recorded last Sunday at West Ham. Rogers will look to continue this excellent run of form into his side's difficult holiday fixtures, at Chelsea on Saturday and then at Arsenal the following Tuesday.
Buries two in win
Rogers scored two goals to go with five shots (two on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 3-2 victory over West Ham United.
Analysis: Rogers recorded his second two-goal game of the season, while he also set a season high with five shots in the match. Additionally, this was the first time this season that he tallied more than 30 completed passes. On the other side, he came up with at least two tackles won in a match for the third time in his 16 league appearances.
Delivers assist for equalizer
Rogers assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and three chances created in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over Brighton.
Analysis: Rogers was one of Villa's best performers between the lines against the Seagulls on Wednesday, repeatedly dribbling through the defense with the ball at his feet. His standout contribution came in first half stoppage time when he spotted Ollie Watkins' run and launched the long pass that sent the striker through to equalize. He continued to link play on the break, often initiating transitions that forced Brighton backwards. Rogers is in a brilliant form, having scored two goals and delivered two assists in the last four games across competitions to go with nine chances created.
First career league brace
Rogers scored two goals to go with three shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Leeds United.
Analysis: Rogers ended his five-match scoring drought with his first career league brace, which included a stunning free-kick goal. In 12 league starts this season, he has attempted 15 shots and created 11 chances, totaling three goals and two assists.
Starts against Serbia
Rogers got the start during Thursday's clash with Serbia.
Analysis: Rogers was dealing with a hamstring injury coming into Thursday's clash, but passed his late fitness checks and was deemed fit enough to start. His immediate return to the starting XI is a great sign that the issue wasn't a big concern. Rogers is off to a slow start domestically, with just one goal and two assists in 11 Premier League matches.
Dealing with hamstring
Rogers is dealing with hamstring issues and will be a late call for Thursday's clash against Serbia, coach Thomas Tuchel said in a press conference, according to BBC. "We need to see because Morgan [Rogers] has a bit of a niggle around his hamstrings. Let's see how good he really feels and how responsible [it would be] to let him start. But the decision is not taken anyway and it will be taken tomorrow morning."
Analysis: Rogers has been dealing with a hamstring issue while on international duty with the Three Lions and will have to be assessed ahead of Thursday's clash against Serbia to know if he can feature. The issue seems to be minor and won't affect his availability for Aston Villa, who will face Leeds United on Nov. 23 after the break.
Inks contract extension
Rogers signed a contract extension with Aston Villa until 2031, the club announced.
Analysis: Rogers joined Aston Villa in February 2024 from Middlesbrough and became an undisputed figure under coach Unai Emery, which allowed him to earn his debut for the Three Lions last November.
Three shots in loss
Rogers generated three shots (one on goal), two crosses (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-0 defeat versus Liverpool. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 80th minute.
Analysis: Rogers took three shots and created a chance, but it wasn't enough to earn the win against a struggling Liverpool side. It's been a disappointing season overall for Rogers and Villa, who are still looking to find their form. Rogers will need to get back to his best if he wants to help carry Villa out of this rut.
Scores in Sunday's win
Rogers scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Sunday's 2-1 win against Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Rogers scored an outside the box strike in the 37th minute, a goal which tied the match at 1-1. It marked his first goal of the season, but he has now recorded three goal contributions in his last three matches. He played the full 90 minutes for the seventh time through eight matches this season.
Assists in win
Rogers assisted once to go with three shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Burnley.
Analysis: Rogers earned an assist for a second consecutive league match. He also set season highs with three shots and two on target. Additionally, this was his fifth straight appearance accounting for a chance created, bringing him to a total of seven in that span.
Finally breaks slow start
Rogers assisted once to go with one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 3-1 win versus Fulham.
Analysis: Aston Villa's 2025-26 season has commenced poorly, with only one goal scored in its first five games. Rogers has been even worse, with zero goal contributions in the five-game span. It took six games, but finally Rogers is on the board for the 2025-26 Premier League's goal contributions. He assisted Emiliano Buendia, so the former ideally gets his ongoing season in motion moving forward. Rogers finished last season with 10 assists, so expectations are him for him to be a significant contributor.
Slow start to campaign
Rogers has started in all three games to begin the season, but has not registered a goal contribution.
Analysis: Rogers is off to a slow start this campaign, with the attacker earning the start and 90 minutes of play in all games to open the season, but with little success. He has only registered three shots, two chances created and a cross in his time on the field. However, this may not be too worrisome for the attacker, as he took five games to earn his first goal contribution last season before going on to bag 18 in 37 appearances.
