Fabian Schar
33-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Schar received an extension at the end of last season after starting 33 matches, nearing 3,000 minutes for a fifth-straight campaign as a regular sight on the field. He stays healthy, takes a free kick or two and always blasts shots from distance, which has led to eight goals the last two seasons. However, a healthy Sven Botman could eat into his minutes in 2025/26, especially with Schar set to turn 34 years old in December. Nevertheless, Schar has been a constant presence in the Newcastle XI and it's hard to see him losing his job in the XI immediately.
Fit moving forward
Schar is fit and cleared for action after appearing in Wednesday's 4-0 win over Union SG for seven minutes, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Fab has been good. Of course, concussion protocols we respect and understand. He followed it, and now he's back and has been good."
ANALYSIS
Schar was out for two games due to a concussion but cleared protocol for play this week, earning a bench spot in midweek UCL play. This is good news despite his bench appearance in that contest, as he has been fully cleared for action moving forward. He will likely then return to his starting role, starting in all five games before his injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to sign new Magpies deal
Newcastle will open contract talks with Schar to extend his tenure with the Magpies, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Schar is one of Newcastle's top defenders and one of the club leaders, so it makes sense for them to try and extend his tenure with the club. Schar has been a regular starter for the Magpies in 2023/24 and is widely considered one of the most consistent, reliable center-backs in the Premier League.
