Jacob Murphy
31-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Murphy broke onto the scene last season with Newcastle at the age of 30, reaching almost 2,400 minutes, a mark he had never come close to touching. He started 31 of 35 appearances while registering eight goals and 12 assists, earning a career-high in assists and goal contributions. Murphy capitalized his role following the departure of Miguel Almiron and since returning from shoulder surgery in January 2024, he's been a lock for the XI. The question is what his minutes will look like with newly added Anthony Elanga.
Provides assist off bench
Murphy assisted once to go with one shot (zero on goal), one cross (one accurate) and two chances created in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Barcelona.
ANALYSIS
Murphy helped swing the momentum after coming on in Tuesday's Champions League clash against Barcelona, bringing fresh energy down the right flank and whipping in the cross that Harvey Barnes finished in the 86th minute to open the scoring. His direct runs forced Barcelona to retreat and finally gave Newcastle the width they had been missing in the final third. That assist looked set to stand as the match-winning moment until the stoppage-time penalty at the other end, while Murphy capped an impactful 23-minute shift off the bench with two chances created and one shot for the Magpies.
