The two Newcastle United players who made the WhoScored Premier League team of the season

Kieran Trippier and Fabian Schar have made WhoScored's Premier League team of the season after helping Newcastle United secure a top-four finish.

The duo were both regulars for Eddie Howe's side as they secured Champions League qualification, with Kieran Trippier playing all 38 games, while Schar missed only two. While Trippier's inclusion is likely to come as no surprise to Magpies fans, Schar's might be a little surprising given the widespread praise for his defensive partner Sven Botman.

But WhoScored are stats specialised who rate every player after every game over the course of the season based on key stats in their individual positions. Their team of the season is then compromised of the players with the highest average rating for each position, with Trippier the best right-back in the division this season and Schar's rating only bettered by Brentford's Ethan Pinnock.
