Kieran Trippier - Maestro against Foxes Trippier generated one assist on nine crosses (five accurate) and five corners during Monday's 3-0 win over Leicester City. He also won three successful tackles and made four inter...
Impact Trippier logged another strong shift across the full 90 minutes, and his efforts were rewarded with an assist for Newcastle's third goal of the match. Regardless of format, he's been arguably one of the best fantasy defenders in the league this season and figures to maintain that status until further notice.

Miguel Almiron - Scores again in win Almiron scored a goal on two shots (one on target) and one chance created during Monday's 3-0 victory over Leicester City. He also made two clearances and an interception.
Impact Almiron scored the second goal of the match during the seventh minute following a tidy Bruno Guimaraes assist. Remarkably, the tally represents his 16th in as many matches to go with nine assists, and he's now netted in seven of the last nine appearances. He was relieved by Allan Saint-Maximin during the 83rd with the game well in-hand.

Chris Wood - Converts early PK in victory Wood scored a goal on two shots (one on target) and made a tackle and an interception during Monday's 3-0 victory over Leicester City.
Impact Wood buried a kick from the 12-yard spot to open the scoring in this contest and give Newcastle all the cushion they would need. The PK came as a result of a Daniel Amartey foul on Joelinton within the area. On the league season, Wood now has three goals to go with two assists across 15 appearances (three starts).

Joelinton - Second of year in win Joelinton scored one goal on two shots (one on target) while creating one chance during Monday's 3-0 victory over Leicester City. He also won one tackle, added three interceptions...
Impact Joelinton nodded home the final goal of the match during the 32nd minute via a Kieran Trippier cross. The Brazilian midfielder was clinical throughout the full 90 and completed all but one of his passes on the day. He now has two goals to go with one assist on the season across 14 appearances (13 starts).

Nick Pope - Keeps clean sheet Pope made two saves and kept the sheet clean during Monday's 3-0 victory over Leicester City.
Impact Pope wasn't tested all that frequently, but he still did well to complete the shutout against an overmatched Leicester squad. The result represents his eighth clean sheet across 16 EPL starts. As long as Newcastle continue performing like a top team, he'll remain one of the better fantasy keepers in the league.

Jonjo Shelvey - Out multiple weeks with calf injury Shelvey is not in the match day squad to face Leicester on Monday due to a calf injury.
Impact Shelvey will miss 6 to 8 after suffering the injury in the buildup to Monday's match. The midfielder has made just three substitutes appearances on the season totaling just 34 minutes of action.

Callum Wilson - Out with illness Wilson is not in the match day squad to face Leicester on Monday due to illness.
Impact Wilson misses out on the Boxing Day match as Chris Wood makes the start with Alexander Isak still out injured. Wilson will hope to return in time for Saturday's match against Leeds.

Alexander Isak - Out for Boxing Day Isak will not play over the holiday season. Coach Eddie Howe added: "He's doing well, and we're pleased with him. Hopefully he can play a big part in January. We just have to make...
Impact Isak missed the team's most recent cup match against Bournemouth, and this news now just confirms what was already believed regarding Newcastle's Boxing Day visit to Leicester. If what Howe says is indeed accurate, the earliest we could see Isak is 3 January against Arsenal, though a mid-month return against Fulham is more realistic.

Alexander Isak - No timeline for return Isak (thigh) has no timeline for his return, manager Eddie Howe told reporters."The medical team have tried to just look at his recovery day by day and just get him in the best phy...
Impact Isak ended up missing the clash with Bournemouth and no timeline for his return certainly isn't the most encouraging diagnosis. There is still a chance Isak is back for a Boxing Day trip to Leicester, but more likely than not he will be out for that match. His status will remain uncertain until Howe is able to give a more definite update.

Kieran Trippier - Full match in cup Trippier played the full 90 during Tuesday's 1-0 Carabao Cup win over Bournemouth.
Impact Trippier started and played the full 90 Tuesday. The full-back is back with Newcastle after the World Cup, and will continue to be one of the best defensive options in the Premier League during the second half of the season.
DECEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Chris Wood - Appears off bench Wood played 14 minutes during Tuesday's 1-0 Carabao Cup win over Bournemouth.
Impact Wood came off the bench for the final 14 minutes and didn't accomplish much. The fact he was able to take part in Tuesday's game is a good sign that the depth striker will have some availability heading into the second half of the Premier League.
DECEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Matt Ritchie - Unused in cup Ritchie went as an unused substitute during Tuesday's 1-0 Carabao Cup win over Bournemouth.
Impact Ritchie didn't see any playing time off the bench, but he did make the bench a good sign as he recovers from a calf issue. The defender will be a limited depth option throughout the second half of the Premier League.
DECEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Allan Saint-Maximin - Active off bench Saint-Maximin played 33 minutes during Tuesday's 1-0 Carabao Cup win over Bournemouth. According to manager Eddie Howe, "The challenge for Maxi is we're building him, fitness wise,...
Impact Saint-Maximin came off the bench in the Carabao Cup to play the final 33 minutes. The forward was moving well and seems to be fit heading into the second half of the Premier League. When he's on the pitch Saint-Maximin is an excellent fantasy option, the issue for fantasy managers is that he ends up the physio's table so regularly.
