Football Manager is famed for its realism and ability to spot future stars of the game - but can it predict how the Premier League table will look when it comes to its conclusion in May?
Newcastle currently sit in 4th place after a terrific start to the campaign under Eddie Howe having taken 21 points from their opening 12 games.
It has been a good start to the season and one that has Magpies fans silently dreaming over potential European qualification. Howe’s side currently enjoy the best defensive record in the division and have shown all the signs of being able to continue this momentum.
Here, we take a look at how Newcastle United will do this season - according to Football Manager 23.
Football Manager 2023 will launch on November 8, 2022. However, you can gain early access to the PC/Mac version now if you pre-order the game on Steam.
