The seven pre-season friendlies saw United win one, draw two and lose four.

Interesting to see how many minutes on the pitch for each of the Newcastle United players in these pre-season friendlies.

So have the right players got the right number of minutes this summer?

These are the highest to lowest in terms of minutes for Newcastle United players so in pre-season (Just in case the breakdown for each player needs explaining: CA = Carlisle, CE = Celtic, A = Arsenal, TK = Team K-League All Stars, S = Spurs, E = Espanyol and AM = Atletico Madrid):

435 Miley (CA 45, CE 75, A 45, TK 90, S 90, E 90)

404 Pope (CA 45, CE 45, A 72, TK 71, S 81, AM 90)

394 Osula (CA 45, CE 75, A 72, TK 81, S 31, E 90)

A massive 39 Newcastle United players listed above, with 37 of the 39 having played minutes in the seven friendlies.

So based purely on the most pre-season minutes, that would make the Newcastle team v Aston Villa look something like this:

Pope, Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Targett, Miley, Jacob Murphy, Barnes, Gordon, Elanga, Osula

That looks an interesting line up…not sure what formation???

***I just had a look back at summer 2024 and these were the eleven Newcastle United players who played the most minutes in pre-season friendlies – Pope, Livramento, Krafth, Burn, Lewis, Longstaff, Hall, Joelinton, Barnes, Jacob Murphy, Isak
