Recapping the best Newcastle United players ahead of FPL restart

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.

    Avoid Newcastle

    1. Loftus cheeky nandos
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Why? Good fixtures

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        They have nothing to play for..

        1. AuFeld
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Do you think many of the players have bonuses for clean sheets and goals?

    2. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If they get taken over the players will want to impress the new manager rumoured to be poch

    Hello peeps.. hope all of you are doing well 🙂

    need help with below questions:

    Best city defender for the double?

    Who do you think is more nailed? Otamendi or Stones?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      So long as Walker doesn't get a ban he may well be your best choice. All the others are not nailed yet or streaky.

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Laporte

      After which Mendy

      Otherwise stay clear imo

    3. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Laporte is highest on recommended players but Otamendi must be nailed

    4. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ederson if you want city defence cover imo, probably a guaranteed 8 points. Lottery with who will actually play at the back otherwise.

  4. Louis Van Gaalstones
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is the likeliest arsenal left back Tierney?

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure

    2. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nah I’ve heard he’s leaving

    3. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yep

    4. HamezMace
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He started the latest friendly. But I’m concerned that he’s only started twice all season.

  5. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    None

  6. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hello evening crowd, was wondering if I could get some feedback on my BB draft, have got no wildcard so mix of doublers and singles, plan would be to downgrade Kun and upgrade Fleck next week.

    Leno
    Trent Egan O'Connell
    Salah KDB (c) Grealish Fleck
    Kun Vardy Jimenez

    Ramsdale/Reina, Cantwell, Lascelles, Saiss

    Any thoughts welcome 🙂

  7. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lascelles - dirt cheap, can’t complain

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah I'm keeping him, may grab a goal at some point and as captain you'd expect him to play each game.

    2. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Charley Taylor for the same cost too.

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Fernandez worth the extra?

      1. Vazza
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        No IMO

  8. House Frey Wedding Planner
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would you:

    a) Ozil, Samatta, Lascelles

    b) Saka, Jimenez, Boly

    Will BB this week then wild card in GW31. Have Saka and Jimenez in my GW38 team and both have increased in value by 0.1. I would like to have Jimenez for the fixture run in though I can bring him back in the WC for 0.1 extra

    Rest of the team:

    Leno, Ramsdale
    TAA, O'Connell, Baldock, Targett
    De Bruyne, Mahrez, Grealish, Fleck
    Auba, Aguero

    Cheers!

    2. Mufc202020
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B! Not a fan of villa players even for a double gameweek and I’m guessing you have atleast 2 Sheffield United defenders. Can’t imagine Ozil will do much either, may even start Willock over Ozil.. scoring 2 the 2 friendlies

  9. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which is the better option?
    A) mccarthy and Stevens
    B) Henderson and egan

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      B

    2. Epic Fail

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Well done both good teams. A maybe if I could do Grealish Sterling to Son Bruno immediately ...

  12. Loftus cheeky nandos
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A) grealish and saiss
    Or

  14. It's his Job.
    • 10 Years

    BB Team-Hows this looking?

    Reina
    Lundstram Mings-Egan
    Grealish Mahrez KDB Fleck Saka
    Aguero Auba

    Leno/TAA/Maguire/Rashford

  15. BENOIT

    Reina, 4m
    Lascelles, TAA, Egan, Lundstram
    Mahrez, Fleck, Sterling, Grealish, Saka
    Auba, Aguero, Vardy

    12 DGW players. Will WC straight after.

    If you had 1m to spare, how would you improve?

    1. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Sterl >Salah after dgw or just put it towards a 5th Defender?

  16. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    OK I think I got it:

    Hendo Leno
    Saiss TAA Lascelles Lunds Egan
    Grealish Mahrez KDB Mane McGinn
    Auba Aguero Nketiah

    Done!!

    1. It's his Job.
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I like the fact you have kept one of Salah/Mane

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yes, I think Mane outscores many City and Arsenal players and I bought him at 11.5 a long time ago... plus people tell me he is in great shape, no way I´m ditching him!

  17. nkhoughton
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    How's this looking?

    Mccarthy
    Alonso Laporte Egan
    Mane KDB Martial Saka
    DCL Auba Vardy

    Pope Traore Sais AWB

    I would like to squeeze another city attacker in here, thoughts?

  18. Daghe Munegu
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Can we expect Mahrez to start at least one game or is it better to invest in Sterling?

    1. El Presidente
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      One on one I prefer Sterling, but depends on the compromise you have to do for the rest of your squad. I went Mahrez because I want to keep Mane for example

  19. Loftus cheeky nandos
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Maybe an unpopular opinion but stop talking about vfpl the season, the fpl is back please only care about that it’s tragic talking about a virtual game of a virtual game

    1. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, much prefer endless dgw teams that all look the same 🙄

    2. HamezMace
      • 9 Years

      Alright fantasy police.

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I’d like to go deeper into the game; a game with a game within a game

    4. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Maybe you should stop coming here if you have a problem with it?

    5. Ron_Swanson
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      This is tragic in its own right

    6. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Some of us have been here for 3 months and enjoyed vFPL when there was nothing else going on. It'll be over by Sunday and we'll talk about vFPL if we like. I find your description of it being tragic highly offensive.

      1. Loftus cheeky nandos
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Oooooohhhhhhh just annoying on an actual fpl comment section when I see oh Jimenez is injured and it’s people talking about the virtual game. And I do not care if it gets offends this website alone is tragic (and I yes I’m on it and think it’s tragic I have nothing to do) but the virtual game is another level of tragic

        1. The Polymath
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          It's big news in the battle for Champions League couldn't be closer between Chelsea, Man U and Wolves. Uncanny how the virtual table looks so much like the real PL table. 😀

    7. Forgetmeknot
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Maybe an unpopular opinion but stop talking about fpl, the PL is back please only care about that it’s tragic talking about a virtual game.... 😀

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Levels of Tragedy. 😀

      2. Loftus cheeky nandos
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        You being on here means u you’ve been researching for fpl

        1. Forgetmeknot
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I perhaps also need to research my ability to post irony and sarcasm!

    8. Ragabolly
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      vFPL ends in three days, just a little more patience.

  20. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is this a boring all out FH team? I may go for it ... any thoughts?

    Leno
    Stevens Baldock Lundstram
    Sterling KDB Grealish McGinn
    Auba Kun [C] Lacazette

    Ramsdale Lascelles McCarthy Kilman

    1. Vazza

      Good to go

      1. Magic Zico

        Cheers

    2. OleGGMU
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lund, Laca minutes obvious concern but can prove a great inclusion esp with most teams not including lund and laca
      Kilman is a concern, essentially though I see it as a toss between him and ramsdale for who gets the 4.5m spot and more points. I'd personally go 4.5m def over gk

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        FH team mate, bench don't matter esp the third one. Yes, aware of Lund and Laca potential minutes but hey ... FH once a season for DGW!

  21. OleGGMU
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Current BB GW30+ no FH no WC

    Hendo, Pope
    TAA, Lasc, Egan, Baldock, Saiss
    Grealish, Mane, KDB, Saka, Bruno
    Auba, Rash, Jimi

    0.4 itb

    stick or
    A) Baldock, Saiss, Saka, Rash --> Basham, Ward, Martial, DCL
    B) Baldock, Saiss, Saka, Bruno --> Basham, Doherty, Martial, Douglas Luiz
    C) Baldock, Bruno, Saka --> Basham, Martial, Mount/6.2
    D) Stick

    Any alternatives and advice much appreciated
    have thought of pope to reina but not worth losing the 0.2 in Tv as I would prefer pope for gw31+

  22. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What are the thoughts on nketiah? He allows me to have the BB team I want, so I'm happy with a certain amount of risk. What do you reckon?

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Doubt he features

      1. HamezMace
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Why?

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Why would he, aside from featuring pre lockdown due to fatigue and injury

          1. HamezMace
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            He started the last three league games before lockdown, and started the latest friendly ahead of Lacazette.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              I’m not sure how much weight should be put on pre lockdown team selection. Completely different circumstances

              1. HamezMace
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                So if we’re not looking at prelockdown team selection, or recent friendly selection what else do we have to go on?

                  • 5 Years

                  Known squad preference

                  1. HamezMace
                    • 9 Years
                    3 years, 9 months ago

                    Ha, known from when? Prelockdown I assume?

                      • 5 Years
                      3 years, 9 months ago

                      The season, not just than partial part where players were brought in due to team fatigue or team injuries

                      1. HamezMace
                        • 9 Years
                        3 years, 9 months ago

                        You don’t start three games in a row to cover fatigue.
                        It’s called being dropped.

              2. Wild Rover
                • 13 Years
                3 years, 9 months ago

                Lol, what tosh

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      expect 1 or 2 points, if you are happy and understand he's likely not to get too much then go ahead

    3. Garth Marenghi
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Saka I think the better pick

    4. Mr_Moore
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think he'll play. He'll get plenty of minutes to justify it in my mind. I've got him in. Laca is on the way out anyway.

    5. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years

      DGW blindness

    6. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hmm, maybe too much of a risk. Which looks better?
      A) awb, cantwell, nketiah
      B) targett, saka, pukki/jota

    7. Karhumies
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Better gamble than Samatta, but a big gamble nonetheless. With only 3 forward slots available, it's hard to justify taking the risk.

      1. TwiggsJameson
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I'd prefer Samatta by a mile.

        1. Karhumies
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I don't expect much from either one of them, so I prefer the extra cash from Nketiah being cheaper.

  23. Adzy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    FH team think I'm set any major dramas apart from the risky triple sheff utd defence?

    Henderson
    Azpil Lund Egan Doherty
    KDB Grealish Sterling
    Auba(vc) Aguero(C) Vardy

    1. rjcv177
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      if u believe in Azpi, take a punt on Alonso (all about ceiling)

      1. Adzy
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Can only do this by dropping Lund to oconnell or basham to keep structure of team, I do like alonso is it worth it?

  24. Mr_Moore
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    For this double gameweek only:

    A) Aubameyang, Martial, and Laporte

      A has many questions (laporte time and sgw martial)
      B is more explosive

    Help is needed please

    Who is the best 5.0 DF in a long term BB30+ team (i.e not FHing yet and no WC either)

    Rest of Back 7

    Leno Ramsdale

    Stevens Boly Egan Maguire xxxxxxx

    Any ideas would be welcomed

      Newcastle Burnley defender

    2. Mr_Moore

      It's got to be 1) Lundstram , 2) Fernandes, 3) Aurier

      Villa game for Lundstram sticks out. Newcastle and Tottenhams fixtures stick out.

      Wipe Arsenal defense punt from your mind son.

      Choose B because Boly is better than Saiss

    The fake crowd noise in the La Liga game is quite amusing. The crowed even "oooohed" when the guy hit the post!

      Need a few holograms of some big beer belly guys with their tops off to emulate the experience of the PL.

    BB30, WC31

    Leno - Hendo
    TAA - Stevens - Baldock - Saiss - Lascelles
    KDB - Sterling - Grealish - McGinn - Saka
    Auba - Aguero - Samatta

    Thoughts
    Cheers!

      Think you need strength in midfield. McGinn and Saka seem like big punts. Shift some money from the back.

      7 of the front 8 are same as I am rolling with (I have Mahrez instead of Sterling) and the van dijk instead of Lascelles
