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...
25. Bruno Guimaraes - 8.5
Made a slow start to the season by his high standards but has been very impressive since and missed just one match. Guimaraes is crucial player in Eddie Howe’s side who brings so much calmness and quality in possession. Ended the campaign with seven goals and 10 assists - a goal involvement figure bettered only by Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak. | Getty Images
26. Alexander Isak - 9
Although Isak had his injury troubles during the season, missing 10 games in total, he also proved he is one of the most deadly strikers in the Premier League. With 25 goals in all competitions during the 2023-24 season, he is the first Newcastle player to reach that tally since Alan Shearer. | Getty Images
27. Anthony Gordon - 9
Gordon was a superstar for Newcastle during the 2023-24 campaign after a tricky start to life on Tyneside the season prior. He made the left-wing position his own with 12 goals and 11 assists to his name. He has scored goals against all of the so-called 'big six' clubs during the season and was rewarded with an England call-up. Newcastle's player of the season. | Getty Images
