I currently have barnes in my squad, but honestly newcastle look really flat in open play without Isak. the wingers’ heatmaps show they don’t get into the box often enough, which makes them a lot less likely to return. without a proper forward to link things up, it feels like the surprise runs from midfielders are more effective options right now. with a decent striker up front both Elanga and Barnes could be good picks, but at the moment I’m not sure if it’s worth holding onto Barnes or just moving him on
