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 value points higher than team value. Rushing a transfer getting Jovetic out right now, when you could have so much more information by waiting, is silly imo. But each to their own

    With transfer thresholds seemingly made to absorb knee-jerkers' influence on price fluctuations, the GW3 WC strategy has lost much of it's allure.
