Profile
Key strength: Work rate
Box-to-box midfielder
Operating from 12th position in the Premier League table, Newcastle United are quietly mounting a resurgence under Eddie Howe, collecting 10 points from their last six matches (WDDWLW) as they seek to rekindle European ambitions. At the heart of this revival stands Bruno Guimarães, the 28-year-old Brazilian conductor valued at £75 million who embodies everything Howe demands from his midfield engine. With 9 goals and 7 assists from 35 appearances this season, Guimarães has been an ever-present force, clocking 2,883 minutes of relentless box-to-box industry. His influence was decisive in the recent victory against Brentford, where his trademark progressive passing carved open the defense to tee up two crucial goals. The 85-rated maestro combines Brazilian technical flair with Premier League steel—his 80-rated passing dictating tempo while his tireless work rate shields the backline and transitions play. Operating alongside Jacob Ramsey and Joelinton in a dynamic midfield trio, Guimarães serves as Newcastle's indispensable on-field general, the £75 million heartbeat orchestrating their every move.
