Newcastle's star player, Alexander Isak, has a message for all the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) users out there - "transfer me out"! As the Magpies gear up for their upcoming match against Wolves, Isak has urged FPL managers to take him off their teams.
Newcastle has been on a roll this season, remaining unbeaten so far. In their last game against Tottenham, they secured a 2-1 victory with Isak scoring the winning goal at St James' Park. This was the first goal for the forward in the 2024/25 campaign, and he is determined to add more to his tally in their upcoming game against Wolves.
Isak has been in excellent form for Sweden as well, scoring in both of their Nations League matches during the international break. His quick-fire brace against Azerbaijan and a goal against Estonia have only added to his confidence heading into the Premier League campaign.
However, despite his impressive performance, Isak does not want to be a part of FPL managers' teams for Gameweek 4. In fact, he finds it more motivating when people transfer him out and he proves them wrong by scoring goals. When asked if he should be given the captain's armband, Isak responded with a grin, "Nope. It's much better to hear when people have transferred me out and then I score two goals. That's a much better feeling."
Isak also revealed that he does not play FPL himself, as it could make him too selfish on the pitch. When asked if players should captain Erling Haaland instead, Isak jokingly replied, "You must have Haaland in your team, unfortunately."
Currently sitting fifth in the table, Newcastle is off to a great start this season. Isak, who scored the winning goal against Spurs, credited the team's substitutes for bringing in fresh energy and making a difference. "Up until now, the substitutes have had an impact on every game and you could see that with Sandro [Tonali] and [Jacob] Murphy. They bring even more energy," he said in an interview with the club's official website.
He also praised the team's determination and hard work, even when the opponent dominates the game. "It's almost like we refuse to concede or refuse to lose, which is a strong sign," he added.
With Isak leading the charge, Newcastle is ready to take on Wolves in what promises to be an exciting match. Will Isak continue his impressive form and lead his team to victory once again? Only time will tell.
