Newcastle sit third in the Premier League table after 15 matches and have progressed through to the last-16 of the Carabao Cup.
Eddie Howe’s side have lost just once in 17 matches in all competitions this season and are the league’s in-form side as it stands. The Magpies head coach and his players have received plenty of praise so far this season.
Howe was awarded the Premier League’s manager of the month for October with Miguel Almiron winning the player of the month award. Kieran Trippier, Bruno Guimaraes and Nick Pope have also been nominated so far this season.
But which players have impressed the most? To find out, we’ve ranked every Newcastle player to have received a matchday player rating based on their average rating so far.
Players must have played over 15 minutes of normal time in a match in order to receive a rating. Only players who have been rated in more than one match this season have been included in the rankings.
Therefore, Karl Darlow, Loris Karius, Paul Dummett, Matt Ritchie, Emil Krafth, Jamal Lewis and Javier Manquillo have not been included.
Here are the rankings from lowest to highest...
5. Sean Longstaff - 6.43
Newcastle’s workhorse in the middle of the park. Sean Longstaff has played a crucial role in Newcastle’s run of form heading into the break. A slow start to the season may have hindered his average rating but he has received 8/10s in each of his last two Premier League outings. | AFP via Getty Images
6. Matt Targett - 6.5
The left-back has been left out of the starting line-up in the Premier League in recent weeks with Dan Burn favoured in his place. He has been a fairly consistent performer when on the pitch without being overly impressive so far. | Getty Images
7. Elliot Anderson - 6.6
The teenager has been a regular on the bench for Newcastle this season while also starting the two Carabao Cup games. He is yet to make his mark on the side but has shown glimpses of what he could bring. | Getty Images
8. Allan Saint-Maximin - 6.67
The French winger has been limited to just six player ratings out of a possible 17 due to injury this season but has still been able to make an impact at key moments. A 9/10 performance against Manchester City was the high point in his season while he also scored a late equaliser at Wolverhampton Wanderers to rescue a point. Photo: George Wood
