Jacob Murphy
30-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.
Breakout year for Newcastle
Murphy logged 35 appearances (31 starts) with eight goals and 12 assists on 43 shots (15 on goal), 120 crosses (22 accurate), 42 chances created and 16 corners during Newcastle United's 2024-25 season.
ANALYSIS
The 2023-24 Premier League saw Murphy establish himself as one of Newcastle United's top attacking players, with 10 combined goals and assists. The team's manager Eddie Howe benefited from continuing to put faith in his aforementioned player, whose G/A doubled from 10 to 20 this season. For every offensive category, Murphy's career bests updated, and he will enter the 2025-26 Premier League trying to prove his excellence is legitimate. Should that come through, perhaps Murphy can earn a spot in England's team trying to qualify for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
