The Newcastle United players have now completed their Premier League season.

A 1-1 draw at Chelsea seeing Eddie Howe’s team head off into the summer break.

In the 38 Premier League matches of the season it was 71 points accumulated, via nineteen wins, fourteen draws and just five defeats.

How about individuals though?

In total, 27 different Newcastle United players contributed in the Premier League during this 2022/23 season.

So how would you rate / rank the 27?

Interesting to look at how these independent stats based ratings have evaluated the 27 Newcastle United players.

Interesting stuff.

With a stats based system you are always going to get the odd strange inconsistency and whilst I agree with many of the NUFC ratings for those towards the top…

I think that Seven Botman (6.74) and Nick Pope (6.70) down in twelfth and thirteenth respectively, with those average ratings lower than 7.00, are bizarre!
