The Dugout Discussion – Aston Villa vs Newcastle

4,565 Comments
Share

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.

    Afternoon folks.

    I was on the verge of going ballsy and giving Pelle the captains armband today. Bottled it though and went Costa. Frightfully boring of me I know but it's early yet in the season for mad differential punts.

    How are we all ? I'm glad I don't have anything invested in this game. It's even more boring than my captain choice.

        These sorts of games (and there will be many) are usually a great source of defensive points. That said, it's not really how any of us want to play our fantasy squads. It's line fantasy bus parking. There is not such a game as fantasy bus parking to my knowledge. One for dragons den maybe ?
