2025 Fantasy Outlook
Pope finished year three with Newcastle in decent form but still not at his best, reclaiming the starting role for 28 appearances, only missing time due to an injury in December. He had eight clean sheets for a clean sheet every three-and-a-half games, a bit worse than his clean sheet every three games from the previous season. Newcastle had ups and downs throughout the season, but they still have a compact group that can keep anyone scoreless if they're playing at their best. If he can stay healthy and keep the starting gig for 30-plus games, Pope should be headed for 10-plus clean sheets in 2025/26.
Concussion confirmed
Pope has been confirmed to have suffered a concussion and has now entered the 12-day protocol, according to manager Eddie Howe, per Charlie Bennett of Newcastle World. "Nick suffered a concussion, and that's why we took him off."
ANALYSIS
Pope went down with a head injury Sunday, and following some assessment after the match, it was confirmed that the goalie suffered a concussion. This has forced him out of the England national team during the break as he goes through protocol, likely to be fit once again when they resume play on Nov. 22 against Manchester City. He should reclaim his starting role in net as soon as he is fit, not missing a minute of action this season until leaving the field Sunday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Not keen on leaving Newcastle
Pope is not interested in leaving Newcastle United in the summer, according to TBR Football.
ANALYSIS
The 33-year-old goalkeeper isn't keen on leaving Newcastle United, and his reluctance to agree to terms with other clubs could complicate the chances of Newcastle signing a new goalkeeper in the summer. Newcastle has been linked with a move for James Trafford, but that won't progress if Pope doesn't leave the side.
