Newcastle United enjoyed a memorable campaign as they secured a top four finish and Champions League football for the first time in 20 years. The Magpies also reached a first major cup final since 1999 as they were beaten in the Carabao Cup 2-0 by Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.
While the season was overwhelmingly positive, an early FA Cup exit at the hands of League One side Sheffield Wednesday in January was a rare low-point.
We have assessed the performances and impact of every member of Newcastle’s first-team squad and players who featured in competitive fixtures for the club during the 2022-23 campaign.
Here are the final rankings...
21. Joe Willock - 7.5
Willock’s pace and energy really benefitted Eddie Howe’s midfield. Arguably one of Newcastle’s top performers after the World Cup break. | Getty Images
22. Miguel Almiron - 8
Few people saw Miguel Almiron having the season he has back at the start of the summer. A stunning first half to the season has seen Almiron enjoy his best season in front of goal to date with 11 to his name. The Paraguayan would be 10/10 if it was for the first half of the campaign but he was significantly less impactful during the second half of the season with an injury also limiting his number of starts in 2023.

23. Sean Longstaff - 8
Really stepped up to the mark and played a vital role in Newcastle’s midfield with his work-rate. His brace against Southampton helped Newcastle reach Wembley too. Was a miss towards the end of the season due to an injury. | Getty Images
24. Sven Botman - 8
Enjoyed a fine debut Premier League season and has already established himself as one of the league’s top young centre-backs. Has shown a few vulnerabilities at times but what a signing he has been for Newcastle so far. Photo: OLI SCARFF
