The Brazilian midfielder surpassed expectations during his first half-season on Tyneside following a £33.3million move from Lyon in January.
Despite having to be patient to make his first start for Newcastle, Guimaraes quickly won the affection of the Toon Army with five goals in 17 Premier League appearances.
His perfromances were so impressive that he has been drafted into the 2021-22 Premier League team of the season calculated by BetVictor’s supercomputer.
The team of the season calculation use ‘data scouting techniques’ to assess every Premier League player’s performance over the course of the 2021-22 campaign.
Every player has been given a ‘performance rating’ which is a score out of 100 as to how well they have performed when compared with other players in a similar position.
For example, a player scoring 50 out of 100 is performing at an average level compared to similarly positioned players. The higher the number, the better the player has performed - simple.
Only players who had played over 900 minutes of Premier League football last season have been included.
9. LW: Mohammed Salah (Liverpool)
With 23 goals and 13 assists to his name, Mohammed Salah was always going to be named in the team of the season. A score of 86.44 is bettered only by his Liverpool teammate Alexander-Arnold. Salah led the way for assists and shared the golden boot with Son Heung-min . Looking deeper at the statistics, Salah had the most shots on target of any player in English football with 1.60 per 90.
