2025 Fantasy Outlook
Murphy broke onto the scene last season with Newcastle at the age of 30, reaching almost 2,400 minutes, a mark he had never come close to touching. He started 31 of 35 appearances while registering eight goals and 12 assists, earning a career-high in assists and goal contributions. Murphy capitalized his role following the departure of Miguel Almiron and since returning from shoulder surgery in January 2024, he's been a lock for the XI. The question is what his minutes will look like with newly added Anthony Elanga.
Scores against Everton off bench
F/MNewcastle United
March 4, 2026
Murphy scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and three crosses (one accurate) in Saturday's 3-2 loss to Everton.
ANALYSIS
Murphy has struggled to consistently start matches recently, but his well taken finish from the edge of the box should help his case for more minutes going forward. He has recorded 36 shots in 1,137 minutes this season, a strong rate per 90 minutes, and has also created nine big chances, placing him among the more productive attacking players when he is on the field. The upside is clearly there, though his playing time has been inconsistent. Performances like this put him back into the conversation for a starting role as Newcastle United prepare to face Manchester United next, a difficult matchup with United currently sitting third in the table.

Given resting period
F/MNewcastle United
January 16, 2026
Murphy (hamstring) was given a period of rest due to an injury, although the scans didn't show anything, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Jacob has had another scan and again, nothing is showing which is a strange one. You have to go on the symptoms and how the player feels. That'll probably mean a period that Jacob has to come out. How long, I don't know but we're thankful it's not a serious problem and hopefully one we can overcome quickly."
