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.
Cleared of concussion
Schar (concussion) is starting for Newcastle during Saturday's trip to Leeds.
ANALYSIS
Schar was ruled fit to play in the buildup to the match and returns directly to the starting XI. The defender appears to be apart of a back three setup alongside Dan Burn and Sven Botman on Saturday.

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.
