Elliot Anderson
23-Year-Old
Nottingham Forest
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Anderson made the move to Nottingham Forest from Newcastle last summer and immediately found a role, capturing a regular spot in the midfield. He started 33 of his 37 appearances for almost 2,800 minutes, numbers he was never going to see at Newcastle. Still, in terms of fantasy, he was stuck in more of a holding role for the majority of his minutes, limiting him to two goals from 40 shots and six assists on 37 chances created. A split role of set pieces helped his floor and will be something to target in the new season. Given that he found more of his footing in the latter half last campaign, it's reasonable to expect more goals and assists in 2025/26.
Consistent engine, set to start
Anderson has been named in England's World Cup squad and is expected to be a key midfield presence throughout the competition, providing manager Thomas Tuchel with a box-to-box option capable of contributing in both directions.
ANALYSIS
Anderson ended the season having been one of Nottingham Forest's most consistent performers, making 38 Premier League starts and contributing four goals and four assists across the campaign while also leading the entire league for fouls won with 80, demonstrating the physical and combative quality that has made him such an important figure at club level. The Englishman brings energy, directness and the ability to drive through midfield lines that complements the more positional Declan Rice and technical Jude Bellingham perfectly, giving coach Tuchel a dynamic and complete midfield unit. Anderson heads into the World Cup with the confidence of a player who has performed consistently at the highest level throughout the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Man United to meet wage demands?
Manchester United would be open to meeting Anderson's wage demands if that means signing him in the summer, according to The Mirror.
ANALYSIS
None other than Sir Jim Ratcliffe is willing to satisfy Anderson's wage demands, but that might not be enough to convince the 23-year-old Nottingham Forest midfielder to move to Old Trafford. Based on recent reports, it seems Manchester City are still leading the race to acquire the services of the England international.
