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.

    Just started looking at my team after a long hiatus. After going thru the many comments, I lean towards BB GW30+ and WC thereafter. How does the team below look?

    Leno Hendo
    Stevens Baldock Saiss TAA Lascelles
    KDB Mahrez Grealish Mcginn Saka
    Auba Kun Jimenez

    1.5 ITB

      Looks very good to me.

      Worthwhile upgrading Saka to someone like Mount maybe?

        Just short of 0.1 to do that. Saka over 2 games worth a punt i guess

            Love the Doherty pick, I could stretch to him if i downgrade one of Stevens or Baldock to Lundstram. You reckon the Lord will start both games considering his good form in the warm up games?

                Surely pep will want to settle a squad, they haven’t played in a long time

                D Silva is one of the best players in the squad

                A lot of it depends on who has come back to training fit

                But I don’t think we’ll see the rotation like it was mid season

                  Yeah but it's not just the he 30 bubble, Chelsea is a few days after so will want the big hitters for that instead of Burnley.

                  Aguero and Dilva not worth risking in that game.

    Seeing more & more links with Premier League clubs & Nicolo Zaniolo

    This morning it’s Liverpool, I’m pretty sure Spurs & Utd were linked last week... (he’d be a great Pogba replacement)

    By complete fluke I happened to have a Serie A match on about 6-7 months ago (the one where he unfortunately got injured) and he looked a freakishly good central midfielder

    A real all rounder - gigantic unit, good dribbling, tackling, passing etc - the whole package - whoever ends up getting him will have a serious player on their hands - still only 20 too

    Hope he recovers fully from the cruciate injury

    Who do you think will be city’s CB pairing? I assume Laporte should be a sure starter? Then the other spot will be between Fernandinho, Stones and Otamendi?

    Would you be happy playing one of Cantwell/Saka/4.3 def/ 4.3 def for the next 3 game weeks if that allowed you to have 4 premium players?

      Yeah.

      Cantwell and NOR will be up for it.
      Saka might get some decent returns.
