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.

    While I can understand the Ivanovic love in at the moment two pointers I would make are that Mourinho can't continue to leave Felipe Luis out of the side that back four is going to get rotated at some point which could (although unlikely) see Ivanovic move into the centre instead of Cahill/Terry minimising his assist potential or the most likely scenario would be Azpilicueta getting left out. The more crucial pointer would be the run-in for Chelsea every 2nd gameweek from next week they have Everton (A) City (A) Arsenal (H) United (A) Liverpool (A)... as I say this is every 2nd game they have OK fixtures between these games. Point is they have played 2 promoted sides and frankly I'm a little disappointed they haven't kept 2 clean sheets for the price of their defence and lets not forget todays game actually glosses over what hasn't been the strongest defensive showing some poor finishing from Leicester.
