Newcastle has to fight to stay in this league this year. I am not saying they will be relegated, but it won't be easy for them. At least they decided to get a new Forward. Rondon joined from West Bromwich and should help them to score more goals than last season.

Goalkeeper:

Dubravka, 5 Mil.

Looks like he gets the start. He started end of last season and did a good job.

Defenders:

Fabian Schär, 5 Mil.

Given his goal threat, this is a nice price.


I have to monitor who is starting here. They also bought Fernandez from Swansea. Will revisit after a few weeks into the season.

Midfielders:

Richtie, 6 Mil.
Surely their best asset. He is on all Set Pieces and leads the offensive charge.

Kenedy, 5 Mil.
I think this price is a steal! I love Kenedy and I think he will help them a lot. He was more dangerous than their forwards last season, so keep an eye on him.

Sung-Yong Ki, 5.5 Mil.
The Korean international played for Swansea before, be careful. While he was on some Set Pieces at Swansea, he might not take any here.

Forwards:

Perez, 6.5 Mil.
Had a good end of last season, let's see if he can pick up where he stopped. Goal scoring is Newcastle's biggest issue.

Rondon, 6 Mil.
He is back in the Premier League and I am glad about that. Solid Centre Forward, hard worker, no bullshit. Hope he can score some for the Magpies.
