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.

    Glad to see Blaine Hudson scoring for Wrexham. Played centre back for local team welling last year and was quality. Really liked him.

        Under Moanie they often start slowly, bang in a couple of goals either side of half time and then just see out the rest of the match.

    Ive got siggy, had him from the jump, happy with the assist and all that.

    i just want to say that I love Nathan Dyer. Like to watch him play. Always thought he was an underrated reality player. Good pace, work rate, decent finisher. I would have said this before the goal, but it woulda been a bit random then, wouldn't it? 🙂
