Foden is an academy product at Manchester City, his breakthrough into professional football came in 2017 when he won the FIFA U17 world cup golden ball and helped the English team in winning the tournament. He won the BBC Youngest personality of the year in 2017. He is the youngest ever recipient of a Premier League winner’s medal. He is also Man City’s youngest ever goalscorer in the Champion’s League and is the youngest English player to start and score in the knockout stages of the Champion’s League.
Foden is a technically gifted player who has drawn many comparisons to David Silva. He is yet to establish himself as a regular starter for the star filled Man City team but is expected to breakthrough very soon.

Phil Foden: Career History until 2027
Phil Foden: FM2020 Wonderkid Review
Phil Foden is one of the best attacking midfielders in game. His stats are pretty good to start off with and become monstrous even under a computer manager meaning that most players will be able to get even more out of the English starlet.
In the auto generated save he continues to remain with Man City growing from strength to strength every season. He contributes 10+ goals almost all seasons and provides a lot of assists helping Man City remain as one of the superpowers in the English Premier League. He is valued at a whopping £81m making him one of the most expensive players in the game.
His average rating of 7+ is good but I am very sure that it will be better under a human manager. Phil Foden is one must have attacking midfielder if you are managing any English side.
