The 27-year-old Belgium international has become an integral part of Unai Emery's Villa side, who are fifth in the Champions League group table and sixth in the Premier League.
Tielemans and his team-mate Morgan Rogers are the only two Villa players who have started each of their 21 matches across league and European action this season.
And he is determined to keep that up, he said: "Listen, I feel great. I feel like I’m in that rhythm. I just want to play games, that’s it."
Villa make the trip to Nottingham Forest this weekend to take on Nuno Espirito Santo's side.
And Tielemans says Forest deserve to be where they are in the league table after a positive start to the Premier League season.
"Everyone has," he admitted when asked if he was surprised by their start. "We know they have a good team with some experienced players. They deserve it.
"They’ve had really good results against tough opponents, and they’ve kept a lot of clean sheets.
"It is really important to defend well as a team. It will be a big challenge for us."
