Alexander Isak hot property after Newcastle’s opening weekend blitz but tough fixtures await
NEWCASTLE were the big winners from the opening weekend of the new Premier League season.
Eddie Howe's men swaggered to an emphatic 5-1 victory over Aston Villa in what should have been a more even contest.

Isak is certainly a viable option and if Newcastle are going to carrying on playing with the attacking verve they exhibited against Villa then he should plunder plenty of points but it's worth flagging the Magpies travel to the Etihad this coming weekend.
A trip to the treble-winners' lair is the probably the most difficult fixture in world football right now.
Isak will then face Liverpool at home before a visit to Brighton.
All things considered, it's a testing run of games in the coming weeks and while Howe's side are more than capable of competing, Dream Team bosses are generally better off targeting more favourable match-ups.
