On Monday we asked fans the question: Which 11 players would you pick in the Newcastle United team v Brighton?
The next Premier League match for Eddie Howe and his players.
A 3pm kick-off at St James’ Park on Saturday.
Eddie Howe and his team looking to get back to winning ways.
We just wanted to get a quick snapshot of what fans would like this Newcastle United team v Brighton to be.
A lot of debate within the fanbase generally, which players deserve a start and those who don’t.
So which eleven players do you think Eddie Howe should select?
We put together a list of the 20 players who could potentially be selected for this game from the first team squad.
It appears that Livramento, Schar and Krafth all look certain to be unavailable.
Whilst Anthony Gordon is generally expected to return to the matchday squad, with Joelinton also back available after his two match suspension.
Interested to hear what Newcastle United fans are generally thinking.
So here is the NUFC fans collective choice of Newcastle United team v Brighton (Percentage of fans voting for each player, rounded up to the nearest whole number):
Top eleven:
100% Bruno
100% Tonali
99% Hall
94% Thiaw
77% Woltemade
71% Botman
69% Joelinton
64% Miley
62% Gordon
50% Pope
50% Ramsdale
The rest:
46% Barnes
46% Trippier
44% Burn
31% Elanga
31% Ramsey
29% Osula
27% Wissa
12% Jacob Murphy
7% Willock
An interesting choice of Newcastle United team v Brighton from the NUFC fans who voted.
The voting reflects how the season has gone, apart from a small number of players (Bruno, Tonali, Hall, Thiaw) there is no strong consensus on who the fans would like to see start on Saturday. Which is perfectly summed up by both Pope and Ramsdale ending up in the eleven with the highest number of votes, due to the fact only a few votes split the two goalkeepers.
