I wouldn’t sell Saka for 120M

[–] Spiritual_Hat_7229@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Foden just looks out of place here

He is nowhere near as good as anybody else on this list

[–] solgnaleb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd say he's better than Musiala, but Musialas ceiling is just higher.

[–] yianni1229@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He's not better than Musiala, not even close imo

[–] Kimoa_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If he can pass a ball he's already better than Musiala

[–] DickerDave@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Musiala has better pass completion(85.9%) and more progressive passes(5.24p90) than Foden(82.0% & 4.57p90).

Bambi last Bundesliga season:

Assists - 10

Expected Assists (xA) - 5.38

Touches - 48.2

Big chances created - 11

Key passes per game - 1.6

Accurate passes per game - 25.6 (85%)

Foden last Premier League season:

Assists - 5

Expected Assists (xA) - 4.75

Touches - 44.2

Big chances created - 7

Key passes per game - 1.4

Accurate per game - 27.0 (86%)

Foden has one more accurate pass per game. Musiala is better at literally everything else.

In comparison, Bellingham last Bundesliga season:

Assists - 4

Expected Assists (xA) - 4.91

Touches - 74.4

Big chances created - 8

Key passes per game - 1.1

Accurate per game - 42.5 (83%)

I see a quite egocentric player who just refuses to pass a lot of the time. He's like Robben without the end product.

[–] TheEmperorsWrath@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

without the end product.

2nd most G+A in the Bundesliga last season lol.

[–] Kimoa_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

In a season where the top scorer had a massive amount of 16 goals. Ever since the world cup his end product has been massively lacking.

Thanks these stats will be useful for my anti Foden agenda

I have no horse in this race, just here to say ‘per game’ stats are awful because they count someone coming on as a sub as having played the same amount as someone who played the full 90 minutes. It’s why practically every reputable stat company uses ‘per 90’.

Musiala still has better per 90 stats according to FBref though fwiw.

[–] Albiceleste_D10S@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Disingenuous to use those stats and avoid providing minutes played, LOL

Musiala played almost 2200 mins in league; Foden just over 1800

[–] RROORRYY@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

How tf can you say that, I understand if you think he is not better but not even close is out of touch. Pedri is much more consistent than Musiala and they have completely different styles. Quality-wise they are very similar and it's up to personal preference or team playstyle.

[–] emi_b7@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They have him 16th at 90M (tied with Gavi, Cammavinga, Tchouameni, Rafael Leao, De Jong and Odegaard)

[–] SendDahouds@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Imagine having 2 of the top 3 most valuable players in the world in one team. I bet it would be absolutely unbeatable

[–] Mig362@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Salah should be up there

[–] hubba-bubba-@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Not way Phil Foden 🤣...

[–] threwai@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

England are massive everywhere we go

[–] Steveagogo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Herr kane ftw

I don't know why they get posted here so often. Their evaluations seem like they're just completely made up, not to mention the bizarre choices they put in their lists. I always see people complain about these player lists, and rightly so, yet here we are with yet another one.

[–] Kratos501st@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Phoden Ana Sala are overpriced

[–] mg10pp@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah for some players the rise is slow or nothing, Saka instead gets a random +10M random every 3 months and Foden reached this value when it made sense at 21 but then never been lowered since

[–] tobi1k@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Saka is in no way overpriced he's been a nailed starter for club and country for 3 years now. He's one of the best RWs in the world probably only behind Salah.

If we got offered 100m for him we'd say no without even a moment to consider it.
