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.

    ugh...first season in 3 that I haven't had Ivanovic. Already I want him back, but no way of making space for him really until I WC. Hoping Vertonghen will be a cheaper alternative

    What I have learnt from this game

    Ivanovic looks well worth 7.0
    Costa is fairly one dimensional and probably not a season keeper
    Schrulle is erratic but all over place, potentially a bargain
    Hazard is still Chelsea's best player

    On a bright side, at least Costa hasn't got himself a yellow card so I get 4 points for my captain.
