Newcastle were the team with 14 Cleansheets in PL 22/23. That was 2nd most by a team. Besides, Trippier was the Defender with MOST Points. But I think you should NOT buy ANY Defender, even NOT Trippier. Why is it so?

Just look at their fixtures in first 5 GWs. Every team is VERY dangerous for opponent defence. In the following table, you will find the number of goals they scored in their last 5 matches :

You may think that the record of Aston Villa and Brentford does NOT look so much to worry about. But they will strengthen themselves in the pre-season. They have the potential to take the advantage of Newcastle wingbacks.

You may think –

“Trippier take free kicks and corners. So, I may get some attacking outputs. Why should I not consider him?”

Well, there are better DEFENDER Options to consider for first 5 gameweeks. They have things to offfer for both defence and attacking outputs. We will find it later.

However, you should consider Isak and Wilson. They have well-adapted to the system and can score anytime!
