Newcastle had JOINTLY 2nd MOST Cleansheets in PL 22/23. But due to HARD fixture, we all ignored their assets. Their DEFENCE Ownerships are as follows :

• • Pope (GK) – 10.8%
  • Trippier (RB) – 31.6%
  • Botman (CB) – 16.9%
  • Schar (CB) – 3.3%
  • Burn (LB) – 3.3%

But now, it is high time we got them now. Botman has already got a Price Rise with a Transfer ins of around 365 K in this GW6 transfer window. More time is left as well. Here is the main reason and look at their fixture :

The fixture was the main reason to ignore Magpies’ defence. In the same way, it’s the reason to opt for them now. There are 3 Away fixtures. But Newcastle are capable enough to get CS even from those. Beside these, they will face teams like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United at St. James Park. You can take a risk playing them as well as getting Aston Villa DEFenders in their place in GW11! We will see this then.

Now, look at the situation of their DEFenders this season:

Here, you can see that Trippy has the Highest xGI as expected. But seeing Schar with Lowest xGI is a shocking one to me! Botman is Rotation FREE. He probably had injury issues against Brighton. Besides, char and Trippy goes WAY UP around the opponent boxes.

Ques 1 – “Are you going for a Newcastle defender?”

Ans – “Still unsure. I have Alternative plan to get a Citizen DEFender besides this”

Ques 2 – “If you go for a Magpie defender, tell me the option”

Ans – “My priorities are Schar and Botman. It will depend on whether I am going for Son in GW8 or not”

Ques 3 – “What about Pope?”

Ans – “TOO High priced as GK for this season. It is unnecessary to bring him unless there is a DGW”

That’s my suggestion about the priority for GW6. If you own Chilwell, then you should transfer him OUT irrespective of Newcastle’s AWAY issues.
