SuperComputer team of the season represented by Newcastle as Bruno Guimaraes makes best XI

According to the Supercomputer, Newcastle United's Bruno Guimaraes is alongside Kevin De Bruyne and Thiago Alcantara as one of the three best midfielders to have played in the Premier League in 21/22. The Brazilian was slowly brought into the team by Eddie Howe after becoming the Magpies star signing of the January transfer window, but his class was immediately obvious so Newcastle fans won't be surprised to see him recognised in such a way.

In this case, the recognition is in the form of a place in Bet Victor's 'stat based team of the year'. The players chosen are those which are the top rated players in their position, with the final rating made up from scores in several different stats related to the player's position.

Notably, Guimaraes takes up the defensive midfield role, ahead of Manchester City's Rodri and West Ham's Declan Rice. The analysts at Bet Victor explained why that was.
