With Villa losing 6-0 to Liverpool, Newcastle 5-1 to Chelsea and some other recent defensive disasters from Sunderland and Norwich we thought we would take a look at which teams face them in the next 6 games and whether thats something to take into account in coming transfers.
Fantasy premier league best fixtures extra – focusing on the defensive nightmares of Villa, Newcastle, Norwich and Sunderland
So we’ll start by looking at each team and their recent results plus fixtures to come. We’ll then focus on the teams that play them the most and give some player suggestions. Read this in conjunction with our best fixtures post just put up which gives a wider view. The eagle eyed of you will know that I rated Bournemouth worse than Villa in my recent defences article. I think that has merit but Villa really know how to do a thumping. I’m not saying this should dictate your transfer policy but maybe something to have in the back of the brain if you need a deciding factor
