<h2>Best Newcastle FPL players 2025/26: Kieran Trippier (£5.0m)</h2>
Kieran Trippier comes in at £5.0m this season, which is a considerably lower price than in seasons gone by.
This is the same value as his closest competition Tino Livramento, who has been filling in at left-back in the absence of Lewis Hall, who is still working his way back from injury.
It was a stop-start campaign last time out for Trippier who managed just 14 starts with three assists, but he hit double figures for attacking returns the two seasons prior.

When starting Trippier remains Newcastle’s primary set-piece taker, and as such he consistently racks up assists and bonus points.
He’s a reliable source of attacking returns from open play too due to his crossing ability, and Newcastle&#8217;s defensive numbers last season were also promising.
The Magpies finished 2nd for clean sheets, and they also ranked 3rd for expected goals conceded (xGC).

<h2>Best Newcastle FPL players 2025/26: Bruno Guimaraes (£6.5m)</h2>

</ul>
Perhaps an option for those more risk-averse managers, there are few safer bets in midfield than Bruno Guimaraes.
The Brazilian started every league game in 2024/25, and contributed an impressive 11 attacking returns from five goals and six assists.
These came from a starting position in central midfield, and that is more significant this season than last.
<div id="attachment_73956" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-73956" class="size-full wp-image-73956" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/playerheatmap-Bruno-G.-bordered.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/playerheatmap-Bruno-G.-bordered.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/playerheatmap-Bruno-G.-bordered-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/playerheatmap-Bruno-G.-bordered-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" />Bruno Guimaraes&#8217; heatmap</div>
The <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-2025-26-changes-defensive-contributions/">new FPL scoring system</a> benefits players who contribute defensively in midfield, and Guimaraes is certainly an all-action midfielder.
If he can add extra defensive points to double figures for attacking returns, he could become an interesting option even at this slightly higher price point with bonus points in the mix too.
He is a safe option for those seeking guaranteed minutes and a steady stream of points, even though there may be more explosive options at the £6.5m mark.

<h2>Best Newcastle FPL players 2025/26: Anthony Gordon (£7.5m)</h2>
Gordon may slot in up front for Newcastle should Alexander Isak miss the start of the season, a role the midfielder has filled to some success in the past.
Whether out wide or up top however, Gordon looks like the safest route into the Newcastle attack right now in terms of expected minutes.
Another popular pick with a £0.5m saving here is Anthony Elanga, who recently made the move from Nottingham Forest, and will be hoping to become a regular starter at Newcastle &#8211; although there is plenty of competition for places out wide.
<div id="attachment_73952" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-73952" class="wp-image-73952 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/headtohead-Gordon-vs-Elanga-bordered.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/headtohead-Gordon-vs-Elanga-bordered.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/headtohead-Gordon-vs-Elanga-bordered-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/headtohead-Gordon-vs-Elanga-bordered-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" />Anthony Gordon vs Anthony Elanga</div>
Coming in £7.0m Elanga benefits from being priced slightly lower than Gordon, but pressure for places will come from Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes who are both capable starters.
This likely makes Gordon a safer bet, with his quality and versatility making him one of the first names on the team sheet for Eddie Howe.
However, for as long as Isak is not in Newcastle training there will likely be room for Elanga too in Gameweek 1 &#8211; with Murphy the likeliest to miss out as things stand.
