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.

    Villa defence still needs working on, better without Baker for sure

                  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.

              If I was a newcatsle fan if be quite excited tho. They have looked very good in both matches build up wise especially cabella. In cabella you have a star player who will perform eventually. I would be frustrated as you should of won but you will be fine and easily get top half.

            That game was appalling, not least of all because I fielded Elliot instead of Krul.

                Well, the problem, at the time, was what if Krul goes off injured at 31 minutes or later.

                You come across really lighthearted by the way.

            Just got in to a Krul clean sheet, nice.
            Not one save though, glad I didn't watch that match.

                He´ll be lucky to not be taken of at the 68th...if he plays. Imposter number 10, imho he does a whole lot of nothing out there.
