Newcastle United 2022-23 player ratings: Surprise 9/10 & ‘awful’ 2/10 as Bruno Guimaraes shines - gallery
Here are Newcastle United’s player ratings based on the opening 34 games of the 2022-23 campaign in the Premier League and cup competitions.
As Newcastle head into the final run of matches after the international break, they sit fifth in the Premier League table and just two points off a Champions League place with two games in hand. Eddie Howe’s side have also reached the final of the Carabao Cup but were beaten by Manchester United at Wembley Stadium.
The Magpies exited the FA Cup early as they were beaten by League One side Sheffield Wednesday in the third round.
Here’s every member of Newcastle’s squad this season ranked based on their performances and impact so far...

2. Ryan Fraser - 2
Made eight appearances so far this season but is highly unlikely to make any more having been frozen out of the first-team by Eddie Howe and made to train with the Under-21s. The season couldn’t have gone much worse for the Scottish winger. A return to the national squad last September and an assist in the friendly win over Al Hilal are the only real positives.

3. Jamal Lewis - 3
Has barely featured this season and looked out of his depth in the FA Cup defeat to League One side Sheffield Wednesday. A difficult season for the left-back who has played more minutes on international duty with Northern Ireland than he has at club level. Photo: LINDSEY PARNABY
4. Paul Dummett - 3
Obviously remains an important figure behind the scenes but has offered almost nothing on the pitch this season with just one Carabao Cup appearance.
