BBC Sport pundit ‘Underrated Premier League team of the season’ – Selects 3 Newcastle United stars | OneFootball

This BBC Sport pundit has selected an ‘Underrated 2024/25 Premier League team of the season’ with the season now finally ended.

With a trophy banked, Newcastle United adding Champions League qualification to that silverware.

BBC Sport pundit Fara Williams is the record holder for most caps when it comes to the England women’s team.

She has selected three Newcastle United stars in this Underrated 2024/25 Premier League team of the season.

This particular BBC Sport pundit has came out with some good stuff over the course of the season and had this to say after Eddie Howe led his team to silverware back in March:

“From nowhere, or maybe just stability in personnel, Newcastle have found their belief and to every man in the cup final they were brilliant.

Having correctly predicted how Newcastle United’s season would be completed, Fara Williams has selected this trio of NUFC stars and explains here her reasons for selecting two of them:

Dan Burn

‘There are players around Dan Burn in the Newcastle squad who are more glamourous and will be spoken about far more than he is. But, there are very few, if any, that the fans love more. I think he gets close to a best Premier League XI this season which seems crazy given when many would not have believed he would still even be at the club at this stage in their development.

Burn knows his role and place in Eddie Howe’s side perfectly and is one of the most consistent and committed performers in the league. He knows his limitations as well so adjusts position to minimise the risk of him being run at with space behind him. His goal in the Carabao Cup final will be one of the defining moments of this English football season for me.’

Jacob Murphy

‘I heard early on this season Newcastle fans on the radio saying Murphy is a player that’s not good enough to play in this team if they are to achieve big things.

A player of his ability can go one way or the other – they can get found out and struggle to play for the team again or they really lift their levels and show that they have the capabilities to step up into the role.

Murphy has certainly been able to do that and the relationship he’s got with Alexander Isak has been one of the reasons why Newcastle have gone on the run that secured a Champions League spot.
