Dugout Discussion

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.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I *need* both of these CS's gone but I don't think either have the quality to score.

    Cabella looked very good last week and just lacking a bit in the final third, was thinking about bringing him in. Doesn't look like a good idea now, he's still looking dodgy in the final third and misplacing passes all over.
    Newcastle's defence looks decent though. It feels like this'll be a 0-0 draw.

    Just lumped heavily on a Newcastle win. SDJ will change the game in the 2nd half and give them that required quality in the final third.

    Hardly taking attacking positions and their CS against Villa is far from guaranteed.
