Dugout Discussion

The Dugout Discussion – Aston Villa vs Newcastle

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.

    Like Ivanovic but there is no point in bringing him in now. I'll take him more seriously as a 7.0M option now though.

      2 assists in 2 games! Bonus points almost guaranteed. But you're right, no point in bringing him in now, you'd just be chasing points

        I've actually got a lower score than last week, but I think the average is lower this week. Just think I'm in the mid to upper range rather than the butt-end of the rankings this time round. :p

    I don't get why people are freaking out over Clyne rising in price when there's Bertrand who has at least as much attacking skills as Clyne and who's also priced at 5.0 with an ownership of only 1.5%.
