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.
Out a few games
Schar (concussion) is set to miss a few games due to his injury, the player announced via Instagram.
ANALYSIS
Schar is going to be out for a week or two after he suffered an injury in Thursday's UCL match, with the defender announcing he will miss some time. This is unfortunate for the club, as he is a regular starter for the club. That said, this will force a change, with Sven Botman as a possible replacement m the defense while Schar is out.

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.
