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.
Rockets shot for goal
Anderson scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), two crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Wednesday's 2-2 draw against Manchester City.
ANALYSIS
Anderson saw a spark of brilliance Wednesday after a few whispers of the midfielder looking to be a bit fatigued, firing a shot from outside the box that would find the bottom corner. This is his first goal in quite some time, with his last being Nov. 9 despite having yet to miss a match in league action. He continues to be the workhorse in the midfield, even though he only has four league goal contributions all season, typically seeing decent production as he always finds himself around the ball.
