The 4-3-3 Defend formation is best for Newcastle United whether it is Kick Off or Manager Career Mode. This should keep the team defensively secure and let them build up the attack patiently, which will be led by Alexander Isak as the central Striker. Flanking him are Anthony Gordon and Miguel Almiron on the wings.

The midfield consists of two Center Defensive Midfielders (CDM), Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes with Joelinton as the Central Midfielder. Lewis Hall, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, and Tino Livramento form the backline with Nick Pope as the Goalkeeper.

Newcastle United's Build-Up Style should be set to Short Passing with a Balanced Defensive Approach.

Assign Isak the Advanced Forward+ role with Focus as Attack. Anthony Gordon on the left wing gets the Inside Forward+ role, also with Attack Focus, and Miguel Almiron on the right has been given the Winger+ role with Balanced Focus. Both wingers have great pace and should contribute greatly to the offense.

Set the Focus of the two CDMs as Defend and give Tonali Holding and Guimaraes the Deep Lying Playmaker+ role. Joelinton will play a Box-to-Box+ role with Balanced Focus.

Behind them, Lewis Hall plays Fullback on the left and Livramento plays Wingback+ on the right, both having Focus set to Balanced. The Center Backs will have Focus as Defend with Schar assigned Ball-Playing Defender+ and Botman the Defender+ role. Finally, Nick Pope takes on the Goalkeeper+ Player Role with his Focus too set to Defend.
