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.
Scores in Cup win
Wissa played 72 minutes and scored during Wednesday's Carabao Cup clash with Fulham.
ANALYSIS
Wissa got the start during Wednesday's match in the Carabao Cup and played 72 minutes. The forward scored the opening goal inside 10 minutes as well. It was a solid performance all-around and he looked fit throughout after overcoming a knee injury. Moving forward Wissa will compete with, and possibly play alongside, Nick Woltemade in the attack.

16 minutes from bench
Wissa appeared for 16 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 2-1 win against Brentford and is set to play moving forward, according to manager Eddie Howe. "He looks positive, body language is very good. He's been boosted by coming on the pitch, ready to take on minutes. The challenge we have now is limited training times between games, which we have to get right. He showed the qualities he had in those twenty minutes, and he will only get better."

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.
