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.
Seven shots in draw
Anderson had seven shots (two on goal), five crosses (one accurate) and two chances created in Wednesday's 0-0 draw versus Wolverhampton.
ANALYSIS
Anderson was at the heart of Forest's pressure, constantly recycling possession and drifting into the right half space to whip balls into the box. His sharpest moment came on a delicate lofted cross that Morgan Gibbs-White met from point-blank range, only to steer it wide. He finished with a season high seven shots (two on target), two chances created, five tackles and two clearances, driving the press that kept Wolves on their heels, but he is now without a goal contribution in six games despite 10 shots and eight chances created in that span. He will aim to break that drought against Liverpool next Sunday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Citizens ready to make move
Manchester City are ready to make a £100 million summer move for Anderson, according to TEAMTalk.
ANALYSIS
Anderson is widely expected to leave Nottingham Forest in the summer, and the only doubt seems to be where he'll end up playing in 2026/27 and beyond. Manchester City are looking to get ahead of the pack and submit a nine-figure offer for the playmaker, but some of the other top clubs in the Premier League will also aim to sign the central midfielder and England international.
