Yoane Wissa
29-Year-Old

Premier
GTD
Injury Undisclosed
Est. Return 2/24/2026
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.
Close call to face Qarabag
Wissa (undisclosed) is a late call for Tuesday's match against Qarabag, according to manager Eddie Howe. "We hope they'll be involved. We'll see how they are when they wake up tomorrow but fingers crossed, they will be."
ANALYSIS
Wissa returned to training Monday, and that may be enough for him to play Tuesday, with the forward set to face some late testing in the morning. This would be a solid addition to the bench if he is picked for play, already missing 22 games this season due to his injuries. That said, if he is picked, he is unlikely to see the start, probably earning some time from the bench.

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.
