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...
25. Alexander Isak - 8
At the start of 2023, Isak’s rating would have been considerably lower given the first half of his season was significantly impacted by injury. He has been limited to just 17 starts in the Premier League but has certainly made the most of them with 10 goals. Starting to look like the real deal after his club record £63million move in the summer. Photo: Laurence Griffiths
26. Bruno Guimaraes - 8.5
Put in some incredible displays and is among the best in his position in the Premier League, let alone just at Newcastle. A red card suspension and a couple of niggling injury issues were rare dips in an otherwise great first full season at the club for the Brazilian. Photo: OLI SCARFF
27. Callum Wilson - 8.5
It’s been a rollercoaster season for Callum Wilson. The striker enjoyed a fine run of form in October ahead of the World Cup and was rewarded with a deserved spot on the plane to Qatar. But illness and injury saw him struggle for form since the World Cup break as he scored just once between October and April. But since enjoying warm-weather training in Dubai, the Newcastle No. 9 enjoyed his best run of form in black and white with 11 goals in the final two months of the season to take him to a career high 18 goals. | Getty Images
28. Nick Pope - 8.5
The joint-fewest goals conceded in the Premier League this season. Couldn’t have asked for much more from the England goalkeeper aside from that rare blip against Liverpool back in February. Photo: OLI SCARFF
