Fabian Schar
34-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.
Three shots in draw
Schar had three shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Chelsea. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 61st minute.
ANALYSIS
Schar picked up his seventh start in 12 league games and tied his season high with three shots in the match. This was also just his second game with a shot on target. Additionally, this was the eighth league game where he tallied at least 30 completed passes. On the other hand, this was the first time in three outings that he failed to record a tackle.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could head to Germany
Teams in the Bundesliga are showing interest in signing Schar, according to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany.
ANALYSIS
Schar has been limited to eight appearances this season due to injuries. He remains capable of playing at the EPL level, but he might be better suited for a backup role behind Malick Thiaw, Dan Burn and Sven Botman. In that scenario, he could be open to a move to Germany, since several Bundesliga clubs want him.
