47 | Phil Foden - 2025/26

[01cravend]

Going in my fantasy team for start of season.
Goal + assist, is on set pieces, can see in interviews ect he's feeling himself more again too.
Think he can build a very good partnership with Cherki flicking and tricking their way down the right.

 

[Jonas.shaffer]

Looked like himself—great start to the year.

 

[mccity]

Bright start but faded as the game went on

Took some great corners

 

[oldius]

Most importantly, he looked mentally right. I hope that is the starting point to a great season ahead.

 

[jaiguruKun]

That's the sharpest he's been since the end of 23/24. Loving the new trim as well, a throwback to his early years.

 

[Kadour75]

Foden could get back to his usual level ! That will be more exciting than the new signings.

 

[madloaf]

Should really be his team. Come on Phil.

 

[Macca77macca]

I thought Phil looked different. Like he has become a proper grown up.

Looking forward to watching him this season.

Yeah, even got rid of his 7 year old kids hairstyle

 

[WallyA]

Yeah, considering its just a pre-season game, those were still encouraging signs.

He looked like old phil.

 

[Dazzle84]

The new set piece coach must be a fucking god if he's got Phil taking good corners.

Seriously though, good to see him looking happier on the pitch

 

[Zabbasbeard]

So pleased for Phil. So good to see him smiling again.

 

[Crooked_rain]

He was showing for the ball a lot more than last season and taking the ball on the turn, arguably his best attribute. He's probably the best in the game at being able to take the ball on the turn in a split second and put defences on the back foot.

Last season he was hardly doing that and just laying it off as quick as possible to the nearest player. Clearly a confidence issue.

He wasn't spectacular by any means, but looked more like his normal self.

 

[MCFCFanTX]

If his mind and body are right, I am excited for what Phil can do this year.

+1 - one game only... and too soon to draw firm conclusions... but Foden was great and may have turned it around. I'm rooting for him - let's see how he performs next game.

[madloaf]

If he wants the ball he should stand to the side or behind anyone who has it. He'll learn ;)

 

[jamesha]

At the risk of sounding like my dad, Phil having a sensible haircut may indicate his focus is now in the right place.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

Think a lot of posters on here are going to look incredibly stupid with their opinions on Phil Last season

 

[CΛL]

He’s in a pointless position to receive the pass there like
