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.

          He is a guy that doesn´t need a lot of touches on the ball. He is a pro at making those 4/5 midfielder runs into the box, but can rely on that cannon foot of his at any juncture of said run. He just always seems to take advantage and be in scoring areas...robot foot kind of like a Podolski.

    I'm incredibly pissed off by that game. As a Newcastle fan, I'm just so frustrated by not getting the result. We had some nice build-up play, but the finishing was absolutely horrific. And the red card to Williamson just topped off a very frustrating afternoon.

    I completely forgot that I had Krul in goal though.
