Newcastle rookie Vissa: can he replace Isak in the Dream Team.

According to The Sun: Many Dream Team managers are considering the possibility of transferring Alexander Isak (£6.5m) during the international break.

However, there is another participant in the recent Premier League buzz - Yoane Vissa (£4.5m).

The Congolese forward signed a contract with Newcastle on the last day of the transfer window and received a jersey with the number 9.

Additionally, the Magpies signed promising forward Nick Woltemade (£4m) from Stuttgart, but experienced scorer Vissa will likely be among the team leaders.

Interestingly, the 29-year-old scored the same number of goals without penalties (19) last season as Isak. Only four forwards managed to score more in all competitions, which is an impressive achievement considering Brentford's lack of European qualifications and serious cup routes.

Unlike Isak, Vissa has yet to play a single minute this season due to transfer rumors, but he looks forward to the start of Group 4, as he finally got what he wanted.

Some Dream Team managers may doubt the feasibility of selecting a forward who hasn't played in the 2025/26 season yet, especially considering a potential club change, but on paper, he looks very appealing.

Firstly, Newcastle is one of six clubs that will play two matches immediately after the international break, when the group stage of the Champions League begins.

Eddie Howe's team will play two home matches against Wolverhampton and Barcelona.

Lamine Yamal and his team represent a serious rival, but Wolverhampton currently sits at the bottom of the table.

In fact, Wolves are the only team in the top division to have lost all three league matches so far.

Thus, Newcastle not only has duplicates in this Group, which is always important in Dream Team, but one of their matches looks very promising, considering the current form.

How hopes for improvement from his forwards after resolving the situation.Reuters

Considering his impressive statistics from last season, Vissa is undoubtedly a good option at £4.5m.

At the same time, some coaches may expect improvement from Newcastle before making buying decisions.

So far, the team has not shown optimal results, drawing 0-0 with Aston Villa and Leeds, between which they suffered a defeat to Liverpool.

Currently, Vissa is only present in 0.9% of teams.

The high interest in Yoane Vissa's transfer during the international break indicates active plans from Dream Team managers. The forward, who has strong statistics from last season, could become an important part of the Newcastle team. While some coaches are cautious in their decisions, the opportunity to sign him is attractive, especially in the context of Wolverhampton's unbalanced start to the season. The approaching Champions League games may also influence managers' choices.
