Scout report

Squad depthCentre-forward

Y. Wissa is a 29-year-old centre-forward at Newcastle, rated 44.6 overall by Field Insider's model. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (24.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wissa.

On the season, Wissa graded 8 for current form (age-blind), on 1 goal and 0 assists in 19 appearances (0.164 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 74 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 45. At 29 Wissa is in his prime years, and a market index of 29.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Wissa missed 13 games through injury (knee, other, knock) out of roughly 38 this season. The 19 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Goals / app

1 goal in 19 appearances (0.05 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 94.2/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 24.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.16 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 44.6 overall — developing / rotation level. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.16 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
