Anthony Elanga
23-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Elanga turned in back-to-back successful seasons at Nottingham Forest into a deal with Newcastle. He combined for 11 goals and 20 assists the last two seasons, aided by majority work on set pieces this past season. His role for Newcastle is a little unclear, though they dished out the money for him. He'll compete with a bevy of players for starts and it's a wonder if Eddie Howe will stop using the same XI that had success last season. Elanga has upside and may be on a split of sets when in the squad. However, his playing time from the jump is a big unknown.
Falls to bench
Elanga served off the bench in their 0-0 draw against Leeds United on Aug. 30 after starting in their opening two games of the season.
ANALYSIS
Elanga was held to only two shots, two chances created and 15 crosses through his first two starts of the season, a mediocre stat line for 160 minutes of play. That said, he would be relegated to the bench for their next match, seeing 28 minutes of play against Leeds United, with only two crosses in his time on the field. He will likely look to recapture the spot after a disappointing draw to Leeds, with Jacob Murphy taking his spot during that contest.
