Anthony Elanga
24-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.
WC goal-scoring ends
Elanga logged four inaccurate crosses and one chance created during Sweden's 3-0 loss to France on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Unfortunately for Elanga, France defeating Sweden in the World Cup confirms that his WC campaign has finished after a glorious run. After barely playing Sweden's group-stage opener, he logged a consolation goal against the Netherlands. By scoring during the Sweden-Japan game, Elanga not only earned another start but also created a brief streak, which abruptly ended Tuesday. Apart from the goal-scoring, most of Elanga's other value is from cross attempts, but all of his 12 were inaccurate. Ideally for Elanga, whether with Newcastle United or elsewhere, his recent form will carry over, considering he has not recorded a domestic-league goal with the Magpies.
