Eddie Howe's first full season took Newcastle back to the Champions League for the first time in two decades, built on the league's tightest defence and a ferocious pressing game. Kieran Trippier was the standard-setter, Bruno Guimarães the midfield heartbeat, and Alexander Isak announced himself as an elite striker. The League Cup final was reached too, though Manchester United won it.
With Kieran Trippier (85 OVR) leading the way alongside Bruno Guimarães (84) and Alexander Isak (83), this squad averages 79.2 across all 18 players — below the 44-squad average of 80.7. For drafters, it is a value squad — the elite names at the top are genuine draft prizes, but the tail is thinner, so take the star when the slot lands here.
