Recapping the best Newcastle United players ahead of FPL restart

813 Comments
Share

Newcastle United’s players are assessed as we continue with our series of team-by-team refresher articles ahead of the Fantasy Premier League resumption in June.

Looking firstly at data from the six Gameweeks that took place immediately before the suspension of play in March, we will also venture further back in time where relevant to highlight any season-wide trends.

Steve Bruce’s side are not the most glamorous outfit and goals have been very hard to come by in 2019/20, although only five clubs have registered more clean sheets.

Most Fantasy managers who are in the market for a Newcastle player, then, will be gravitating towards the Magpies’ defensive assets.

With this piece borrowing heavily from the data available in our Members Area, only subscribers of Fantasy Football Scout can read on.

        Spurs did concede 8 in the last 4 games pre-lockdown. I wouldn't bank on their defence this GW. And Rashford scored all 3 of United's goals versus Spurs in 2019.

      He looked amazing before lockdown too. He's really levelled up this season.

      Going to be a big player in FPL next season, especially if he retains some set pieces. And given he's now established on the LW, he should be reclassified as a midfielder.

    Given that Jorginho is still suspended for GW30+ does Abraham become the designated penalty taker for Chelsea this gameweek? If so his fixture against Villa is that much more tempting.

    Hello everyone, hope you're all ok

    No wildcard remaining so I'm preparing for the double with one eye on the remaining fixtures. Don't feel it's wise jettisoning Salah for both Aguero and Aubameyang, but am struggling a little to decide which to go with. Suggestions?

    Reina - Leno
    TAA - Saiss - Lascelles - Lundstram - Stevens
    Saka - Salah - KdB - Bruno - Cantwell
    Jimenez - Aguero - Rashford

        Happy to play Cantwell each week in a 343 or rotate in a 4th defender and go 433.

        Going Aubameyang over Aguero would give me an additional 0.7m if there's anyone better between 5.4m and say, 6m?

          For me you'd have to turn lundstram/Stevens into an Egan/Basham as well in that scenario. Then you could have mount or grealish who are obviously in my opinion more enticing options as you can see below.

          Going without aguero is such a worry but if I was you I'd be considering it strongly.

            yep, a downgrade of Saiss to Charlie Taylor, or like you say Lundstram/Stevens to Egan, which I'd be more reluctant to do.

            I did have both Mount and Grealish in my team in another draft. Chelsea have excellent fixtures, Villa not so much. Will mull it over, thanks.

          DGW's always throw up weird results. I don't think anyone can say with any certainty that Villa will bomb and Arsenal rolled over. We just have to hedge our bets and hope for a bit of luck.

              If you're wildcarding in 31, yes. The only reason to temper it would be if you lose a lot of value in players you may want back in 31+.

                Only players I cannot lose for that reason are Trent and Jimenez. But personally I view it as a chance to also have players on 1 week punts I likely won't have for the rest of the year as well.

                Doherty/Barnes is more exciting to me than Targett/Ozil for example.

    Good interview with Matt Doherty where he speaks glowingly of Adama Traore and the chemistry they have together along with other things if anyone is interested.

    TAA, Stevens, Fernandez, Taylor, Williams

    Mane, Salah, De Bruyne, Grealish, Mooy

    I'm fairly new to FPL, if I free hit, can I activate it and then continue to tinker until deadline or would it cost me points after activating FH?

      If you FH you can make as many transfers as you want until deadline with no points hits.

      After deadline your team will revert back to the team you had pre-lockdown.

      As we have unlimited transfers anyway right now, it doesn’t sound like using FH is the right move for you.

        Thanks, though my team before lockdown was decent, and this is most likely the last DGW chance.

          Then maybe FH is the right move. If you want your prelockdown team back.

          It’s seemingly the hardest chip for people to understand, especially if you’re new to the game.

      You can only freely tinker if you're under the influence of alcohol otherwise it will cost you points.

    Leno Ozil and Auba triple up too much? BB

      In my original draft those were the 3 Arsenal I was going for, have since dropped Ozil and going with 2. I think it's a reasonable punt though.

        Who did you drop Ozil for?
        I am a bit skeptical about Ozil but he has started all the matches post Arteta takeover.

      It will become available again after the update if you have not used it.

      You are basically on a wildcard now anyway as you have unlimited transfers.
