Newcastle United have endured a rollercoaster season on and off the pitch in 2023-24.
The campaign promised so much with Champions League football and around £150million worth of summer signings. But Newcastle's new signings have struggled to make an impact for one reason or another while the club exited the Champions League at the group stage and currently sit 10th in the Premier League table with 10 games remaining.
Injuries have played a significant role in Newcastle's season with several key players at a time ruled out. But that hasn't stopped the side from putting in some great performances and picking up memorable results.
Newcastle's 4-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League group stage back in October is arguably one of the greatest nights in recent memory at St James' Park. The club also beat rivals Sunderland 3-0 in the FA Cup and picked up impressive wins over Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Aston Villa.
And we've looked at each member of Newcastle's squad to assess how they have fared as the side prepares to head into the final run of matches. We've limited the list to players who have started competitive matches for Newcastle so far this season.
Here is our ranking of the Newcastle United players based on their respective seasons so far...
17. Sean Longstaff - 7
Was arguably one of Newcastle's best performers in the opening months of the season but his form dropped after returning from injury. Eddie Howe claimed the midfielder was playing through the pain barrier but he still managed to end the season with eight goals to his name, including one on the Champions League. | Getty Images
18. Jacob Murphy - 7
Played a key role in the 4-0 win over Crystal Palace with a goal and two assists before dislocating his shoulder in the very next game. Was one of Newcastle's best performers in the final weeks of the season with a goal and four assists in the final five Premier League matches. | Getty Images
19. Dan Burn - 7
Suffered with a back injury earlier in the season and came under intense criticism given the number of goals Newcastle started to concede down his side. Still managed several solid displays at left-back and was particularly impressive after moving into a more central role in Sven Botman's absence. His header and celebration against Paris Saint-Germain will live long in the memory. | Getty Images
20. Lewis Miley - 7.5
Lewis Miley was a breath of fresh air at Newcastle United in 2023-24. At just 17-years-old, he established himself as a dependable member of Eddie Howe's first-team squad during a difficult period. Probably played more football than Howe would have liked due to the club's injury crisis before his season was cut short due to injury. | AFP via Getty Images
