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...
21. Kieran Trippier - 7.5
Initially raised the bar on the already exceptional standards he set last season with some crucial defensive contributions and impressive attacking output. The chances he created and assists he made during the 2023-24 made Trippier one of Newcastle's most important players. His form did dip drastically during December and he missed the majority of the final months of the season due to a calf injury. | Getty Images
22. Callum Wilson - 7.5
Another injury-hit stop-start campaign for the striker, who still managed to score an impressive 10 goals in just 12 starts. | Getty Images
23. Tino Livramento - 7.5
When on the pitch, Tino Livramento was largely impressive for Newcastle. Named as Newcastle's man of the match on a number of occasions and got a decent run of matches during the second half of the season despite suffering with a niggling ankle injury. | Getty Images
24. Fabian Schar - 8
The Swiss centre-back continued his impressive form from the previous campaign. His stunning strike against Paris Saint-Germain was arguably the highlight of the season. His consistency and ability to impact games positively at both ends of the pitch made him one of Newcastle's most valuable assets. Ended the season with five goals in 47 appearances. While he did struggle at times when Newcastle looked defensively vulnerable against certain sides, his availability during an injury crisis was vital in keeping Newcastle's season on track. | AFP via Getty Images
