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.
Fit despite injury
F/MNewcastle United
September 26, 2025
Murphy is fit for Sunday's match against Arsenal despite carrying a minor injury, according to manager Eddie Howe. "Jacob is doing okay - it is an issue we are managing. He is fit and available, but some days he has been sore, so we are just trying to manage his load."
ANALYSIS
Murphy has been dealing with a slight injury this week and has been managing some soreness, but will still make it through for Sunday, with the attacker deemed fit. This is decent news for the club, as he is a solid rotational pick for the club, starting in three of his six appearances on the team sheet this season. He will now hope to see the start again, even if he earns limited minutes, with Anthony Elanga as another option on the right wing.
