Fantasy Premier League would be disappointed with the missed penalty from Alexander Isak (FWD, 8.5m), who ended the match with one assist. Tino Livramento (DEF, 4.5m) and Lewis Hall (DEF, 4.5m) also provided one assist in this match.

This was an unbelievable pre-season for Murphy, as he scored 5 goals and also provided 2 assists for Newcastle, so he could be such a great differential in the game week 1. In this moment, Murphy is owned by less than 1% of the Fantasy Premier League managers.
It’s a big question whether this missed penalty by Isak will affect his ownership, as he is the most selected player in this moment at Fantasy Premier League with 55%.
Newcastle will open the new season at the Premier League with the match against Southampton at home.
