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.
Relegated to secondary role
Wissa hasn't started a Premier League match for Newcastle since Feb. 7.
ANALYSIS
Wissa missed three games in February due to an undisclosed injury, but he hasn't started since, either in the Premier League or the UEFA Champions League. Wissa signed with Newcastle during the summer transfer window but has made just four starts in the EPL campaign, and he hasn't scored a goal in all competitions since the 3-0 win over PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League back on Jan. 21.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Linked with move away
Wissa is being linked with a move away from Newcastle in the summer, according to Daisy Redhead of The Sun.
ANALYSIS
One of the biggest problems for Newcastle has been the lack of scoring prowess from their strikers, and Wissa hasn't been able to replicate the excellent numbers he posted with Brentford in the 2024/25 season. Wissa should have plenty of interest from EPL clubs if he is allowed to leave in the summer.
