Yoane Wissa
29-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wissa has improved each year with Brentford, but 2024/25 was the biggest step yet, as he tallied 18 goals and four assists. He didn't lead the team in either category, but he established himself as a top attacking option in the Premier League. Unfortunately, there's some concern for Wissa heading into 2025/26 with a bit of upheaval in the squad from manager to key starters. Repeating last season's output seems unlikely, but as a focal point in the attack with seemingly guaranteed minutes, maybe things won't change that much for him.
Finds bench spot
Wissa (knee) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Burnley.
ANALYSIS
Wissa has trained twice in a full 11v11 opposition without feeling any pain, but he will only find a place on the bench for Saturday's clash against the Clarets. The striker is close to full readiness, though the staff will manage his return by limiting his role. This still represents excellent news for the Magpies since he can boost the frontline and provide an option after scoring 18 goals last campaign with Brentford.

Could be available Saturday
Wissa (knee) could be available for Saturday's clash against Burnley, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "We're getting closer. We did an 11v11 game, sort of for him, on Wednesday which was good and more minutes for him. Round about half an hour - he did well. So far he's come through everything. We still have training today and we'll make a decision as to whether he's ready to not just be fit but fit to make a difference and fit to perform to his high standards."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Newcastle to launch new bid?
Newcastle are expected to launch a new bid to sign Wissa, according to The Sun.
ANALYSIS
The Magpies are ready to do everything in their power to secure the services of the DR Congo international, who's also keen on completing a move to St. James' Park. However, Brentford aren't going to give the green light on the move until they can sign a replacement. They already acquire Dango Ouattara, however, so perhaps a move can happen in the coming days.
