Creates team-high four chances Ritchie created four chances during Saturday's 2-1 loss to Wolves.

Impact Ritchie is perhaps the safest option in the Newcastle team for fantasy purposes. His duty on set-pieces and ability to create chances at will tend to leave him with multiple chances created. He has created at least one chance in each of the seven Premier League games he has played this season. Next up is a clash with Tottenham after the break.

Creates three chances in draw Ritchie took two shots and created three chances in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Watford. He also made three interceptions and a clearance in the match.

Impact Ritchie was heavily involved in the attack from his left back position on Saturday, and he helped his side earn a point against Watford. He will hope to be similarly solid on defense next weekend against Wolves, which have scored just two goals in five Premier League matches this season.

Sends five crosses in loss Ritchie produced two shots (none on target), created two chances, sent five crosses (none accurate), took three corners and made two tackles (two won) during the 4-1 loss to Manche...

Impact Ritchie was one of the better all-around players for the Magpies in their big loss Saturday. The wingback joined the attack a handful of times and he even had a few decent attempts on net. However, a bulk of his play and value came from his role on set-pieces and his defensive play off the ball. As long as he can maintain his role on set-pieces he will be one of the best options from Newcastle.

Takes three corners in draw Ritchie had one chance created, three inaccurate crosses and three corners in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Southampton.

Impact Ritchie had a somewhat disappointed fantasy performance Saturday after racking up 21 crosses in the prior two contests. He struggled to get up the field consistently, partly because Newcastle were focused on the counterattack en route to just 36 percent of possession.

Back with squad Ritchie started in Friday's friendly, returning from a minor injury.

Impact This is a good sign for Ritchie, who still has a couple weeks before the season to get back his full fitness. He closed last season as a regular and if healthy, there's a decent chance he has that role once the new campaign begins.

Missing pre-season friendly Ritchie is not in the squad for Friday's friendly because of a minor injury, reports Scott Wilson of The Northern Echo.

Impact This doesn't sound serious, but it's something to keep an eye on in the coming weeks ahead of the season. Ritchie didn't have a role in the team the majority of last season, but once he found his way into the squad, he didn't let go, starting the final nine matches.

Tallies five crosses in 2-0 win Ritchie created one chance, sent five crosses (two accurate), took three corners and made one tackle (none won) during the 2-0 win against Fulham on Sunday.

Impact Ritchie once again started as a left-wing back in the win. The midfielder has rotated between midfield and defense for the majority of the season. However, he has always produced chances no matter what. Ritchie's value has also shot up since his return to the majority of set-pieces. Unless there are some drastic changes, he should remain an important piece to the Magpies when they return next season.
