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.

    Hutton or Wisdom?

      Fixtures for AST aren't very kind at all. Both of them offers OK rotation (obviously perfect home).

      Hutton seems more nailed imo, but upcoming fixtures are terrible. Depends if you want him as bench fodder long term (then Hutton) or for short term points (then Wisdom).

          Why Pellè though? He's blanked in his first two GWs. And I'm saying that as a Pellè owner.

    Where can I see who gets the BP's for these games?

    36 pts with De Gea, Chester (thanks to Luis not playing again), Silva, Eriksen, Mata, Rooney still to play.

    I think that isn't bad, especially since I should get some BPs'.

      Depends if he blanks/only gets an assist then it probably means he will never be worth owning at that price point. Something tells me this games going to have goals at both ends should be good

    0.5 in bank. Any suggestions for transfers? I really want Clyne in but I realistically need to do it tonight before he rises in price. That said, I want Hazard in too! Got no ideas.....
