OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 11/2/2025
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.
Suffers setback
Wissa (knee) has suffered a setback and is now expected to miss eight weeks instead of four to five weeks, according to Keith Downie of Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
Wissa will miss out a bit longer than initially expected, with the forward now expected to be sidelined for eight weeks and miss out until the start of November. This will leave him aiming for a return against West Ham on Nov. 2 or Athletic Club on Nov. 5 in UCL action, missing at least a month more of action. The forward still has yet to debut for his new club, extending the wait a bit longer. Nick Woltemade should continue to serve at forward until Wissa is ready for action again.

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.
