The Dugout Discussion – Aston Villa vs Newcastle

The second Gameweek of the season kicks off with one for the neutrals. Even at this fledgling stage in the season, the encounter between Aston Villa and Newcastle looks every inch a mid-table clash, filled with an array of budget and mid-price Fantasy assets which, while unlikely to form mainstays in our squads, still warrant our attention.

There’s certainly potential on show, with both sides fielding budget defensive curiosities in the shape of Alan Hutton and Paul Dummett. Elsewhere, Villa’s Charles N’Zogbia will continue to attempt to revive his top flight career against one of his former clubs, while Newcastle’s fresh cast of talent – notably Remy Cabella and Emmanuel Riviere – will have another attempt our turning our heads in the hunt for differentials.

The early kick-off is followed by a quartet of three o’clock clashes, before Everton host Arsenal in the big evening clash.

Pretty poor first half. No real tempo there. Fully expect Willian and Ramires to come on around the 65th min for Schurrle and Oscar if things don't improve

Bertrand looks a good alternative to Clyne for those of us who dont want to make an early transfer and cant afford a 5.1 Soton defender. linking well with Tadic.

    tbh Soton on the whole have been poor. Gonna see long real soon i reckon. Pelle been marked out of the game. not seen davis at all on my stream. Tadic looks ok. Hoping for a better second half. Note: i am watchin two games at once so may have missed something

To answer my own question Zarate is playing centrally. If the dreadful Nolan has a long term jury Zarate looks a great shout. Particularly with downing finding his best form for us and Valencia to come in

      Zarate proving what we all already knew, that Nolan is useless.
      
      Would like to see Ravel get 10-15 mins at the end if we're still 2 up by then.
