Anthony Gordon
24-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gordon didn't live up to the expectation he set for himself after tallying 11 goals and 10 assists the prior season. He managed six goals and five assists with a split role on set pieces in 2024/25, but an injury derailed his campaign and he didn't have a goal or assist from February on. When healthy, Gordon has production in him, but with Champions League on the slate this season, there's a chance for more rotation in league play, especially after Harvey Barnes produced in Gordon's absence. Still, this Newcastle attack is potent and anyone in the front three has value in fantasy, especially Gordon with set pieces.
Seven shots up front
Gordon generated seven shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one corner in Saturday's 0-0 draw versus Aston Villa.
ANALYSIS
During the 2024-25 Premier League, Gordon not only logged six goals but also recorded 34 appearances. None of them saw him attempt more than five shots, which he surpassed Saturday. Perhaps his position can explain why, considering that up front for Newcastle was Gordon. At least temporarily, this may continue to be the case if the Magpies cannot sign anyone else in place of Alexander Isak (transfer). For the first matchday, Harvey Barnes occupied Gordon's usual position out left.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Target for Reds
Liverpool are considering a summer move for Gordon in case Luis Diaz leaves the club in the summer, according to Teamtalk.
ANALYSIS
Liverpool are not looking to sell the 28-year-old Colombian winger, but they haven't ruled out the possibility of doing so. If Diaz leaves, however, then the Reds would go all out to sign Gordon. The Newcastle winger endured lots of injury issues in 2024-25, but when healthy, he's one of the best wingers in the Premier League. He'd certainly be an interesting addition for Liverpool.
