Fabian Schär

Schär’s game is a balance of experience and boldness. He reads danger early, clears decisively, and holds his line with discipline, especially in tense moments where one mistake can shift the entire match. In the box, he’s aggressive and committed, defending as if every header is a final.

But his real value is progression. Schär can switch play or thread passes through midfield, turning defence into attack in seconds. Newcastle benefit from that because it means they don’t always need long build-up, they can strike quickly from deep, and Schär often starts the move.
