It’s been a difficult season for Newcastle United; there are many factors for this, of course. A squad that has been ravaged by injuries and some very dubious decisions (especially in the Champions League) has meant that this campaign has been very up and down. Still, for fans following this fantastic football club for many years, we have learned to take the rough with the smooth.

Now, when the Toon aren’t playing, what does an avid football fan do with their spare time? Why play EA’s latest footy sim? Of course, it’s EA Sports FC 24. At the same time, the FIFA branding has left the long-storied video game franchise, but the most essential features remain. Ultimate Team is one of the most popular game modes played by millions around the world.

You may be wondering which Newcastle United players have the best stats in this year’s game and which players are must-haves for your ultimate teams. We will reveal this information for you right here so we can help you put a team together that will crush your rivals online. Whether you buy FC 24 coins or earn them by grinding in FUT champions, below are the best players for Newcastle United that your money can buy.Now let’s look at the Toon’s best players for your squad.

ALEXANDER ISAK – Card Type: Showdown EA FC – Rating: 88

Alexander Isak has been in decent form for Newcastle this season. The swede has bagged 16 goals in all competitions so far this campaign. He’s played 30 games this season, so that’s just over a goal every other game. His Special Showdown card is a must if you want a Newcastle player leading the line in your Ultimate Team. He has a pace and shot rating of 89 and an insane 91 stat in dribbling. With a level for skill moves and a level 5 in weak foot ability, Isak’s card is an essential choice. The estimated price at the time of writing is about 128,000 coins.

KIERAN TRIPPIER – Card Type: FC Versus Fire – Rating: 88

Trips has been an excellent addition to Newcastle United since he arrived from LA Liga giants Atletico Madrid. His FC Versus Fire card is nothing short of bonkers, which means he would also be an excellent addition to your Ultimate team. Boasting a pace rating of 85 and a phenomenal defensive rating of 90, Trips would make a fine addition to anyone needing a top-tier right-sided defender. He is also excellent going forward, so it’s a very versatile card to have in your deck. He goes for about 56,000 coins at the time of writing.

MIGUEL ALMIRóN – Card Type: Showdown EA – Rating 87

Almiron is coming to words in the latter stages of his career, having turned 30 years old last month. He has always been a player who has proved his many critics wrong, though (we are looking at you, Mr Grealish), and that’s why Newcastle fans love him. He has a pace rating of 90 and good crossing and passing stats. At the time of writing, he also went for a bargain at around 38,000 coins. It’s well worth picking up as a squad player.

These are hands down the best cards you could stack your deck with if you want to sprinkle your squad with some Newcastle players. Happy gaming. Howay, the lads!
