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.

      There's something wrong there. Not sure what was up with him at the World Cup, seems like he's lost a lot of confidence. Saying that, he was still making some nice dribbles I'm the last game and he's on pens still isn't he?

        No idea... We'll have to wait and see on that one. Cesc is a regular penalty taker so he'll be in with a shout. And what happens when Drogba is on the pitch? Will he accept not being penalty taker?

          Drogba has never been penalty taker. Neither has fabregas. Messi took them. Fabregas took one in euro 2008. And scored but that was his first pen since he was 14. Watched a programme about him last night.

            Fab was Arsenal penalty taker (should have specified).. And the only time Drogba didn't take penalties was when Lampard was on pitch and even then he used to take some depending on score (admittedly Lampard always seemed to be on the pitch heh).

            Drogba's last touch for Chelsea was the champs league penalty wasn't it? Without Lampard there I expect his pride will want to be the penalty taker

            Either way, I don't think Haz is nailed on penalty taker though I hope so as an owner..

        1) too early to consider - you've only seen one game
        2) making a change to your 5th defender is a waste
        3) villa have shockingly tough games around the corner and are historically shite at defending.
