Newcastle United's Premier League record without midfielder Bruno Guimaraes stands at zero wins, five draws, and three losses since his debut on 31 January 2022. This highlights the Brazilian's crucial role within the squad. When Guimaraes starts, Newcastle's average points per game significantly increases, demonstrating his influence on results. For instance, in the 2022-23 season, the team averaged 2.17 points per game with him starting, compared to 0.8 points per game in his absence.
Guimaraes joined Newcastle from Lyon for a fee of £38 million. He operates as a central midfielder, contributing to both defence and attack through pressing, tackling, and effective passing. He was appointed team captain on 19 August 2024. Guimaraes also captained Newcastle to their Carabao Cup triumph on 16 March 2025, marking the club's first domestic trophy in 70 years.
