Thank you for ending the debate Kam said it perfectly!

Saka is a winger, Foden is a CAM who is played on the wing because of Silva but is most dangerous centrally. Saka is more effective on the wings and his numbers back that up. We won't see Fodens true potential until he is played centrally consistantly. So the debate should be who is better Silva or Foden?

I think the definition of "world class" can apply in 2 very different ways - 1st is undeniable and retrospective, based on personal, team and national achievements combined. 2nd way (which might apply to Saka), is whether a player would be first choice and improve any team on the planet right now! Do you agree or disagree peeps? x

Yall sleeping on Phils impact without him we wouldn’t be so close to the top of the table this Szn and Saka is a baller but different system different clubs stop acting like Phil didn’t destroy everything on the wings one Season because he got injured last Season doesn’t mean he’s not clinical as Saka… and the Reason Rio said phil is world class is because he can play 5 positions …. I never see a debate when ppl say Saka is better but because it’s the other way around 😅 bias

World class argument is such a pub argument

Foden can play any attacking position and he is the most talented player in the history of England!

Well said guys. You should give a lesson to rio though

Foden has 4 G/A less than Saka in the prem. Saka has played 42 games more than Foden if you go by minutes played. So that notion that Foden doesn't have the stats like Saka is false.

I think a world class player is any who can walk into any team in the world and start right away or give the manager a selection headache irrespective of who was playing in the position before he came. Harry Kane hasn't won anything but if he walks into any team in the world right now, he will start or be in contention for starting a match irrespective of which striker they have. Same for Vigil, Alisson, Salah, Rodri, KDB, Bruno Fernandes, Saliba, Rice, Vinicius, Jude Bellingham etc.

If you actually look at their career stats, Foden (23) has contributed goals and assists at a much higher rate than Saka (22) despite playing less overall minutes. Foden City career stats 15,212 minutes 253 games 75 goals 51 assists G/A every 120.73 minutes Saka Arsenal career stats 16,333 minutes 210 games 51 goals 53 assists G/A every 157.04 minutes *Foden has more games than Saka because he came off the bench for years at City before becoming a regular starter.

He's English

If Bukayo played at City he would not be the same player he is now for Arsenal. 1stly at Arsenal he was allowed the room to develop as a RW he was played when he was in and out of form. The team is built around him even when he has a stinker he will still get game time and that will has helped him develop into an elite RW. On the other hand Foden plays for a team with elite players in every position. He is not the room to have stinkers back to back as soon he is not performng he is benched. Saka is a better right winger than Foden at moment but I think the same would be said about him if he played for City. Both players are Elite Foden edges it slightly because of his versatility and how good he is in all those positions. Both are not at the stage of World Class but you feel they are few seasons away from getting into that bracket. Bukayo is consistently producing brilliant numbers and his overall game is improving while Phil is slowly looking like he is taking over as the main man at City after KDB.

Great talk but the comparison rodrygo vs saka i got one thing to say, rodrygo is playing RW but that’s not his position his position is LW him doing that in his opposite wing is incredible

Saka has better stats than vini overall in the last 3 years in a much harder league. But yeah vini is world class

*Agree with Cams. Neither Saka or Foden are world class. But in terms of pecking order, Saka is ahead right now.*

Clip it up. JoeL literally said Saka was world class on Vibe with 5 this week...

On the flip side you don't start for city as consistently as foden if you aren't world class. You need to be levels above everyone else just to start at City. You could see it with Cole Palmer Kalvin Phillips. Martinelli would have a better chance of starting for City than Foden because of his work rate. Saka is left free by Arteta in Arsenal... only KDB is allowed that in City's team.

I want to first say, all this judging and categorisation is just all for fun. You absolutely have to put a definition to the categories. Keep in mind, there's really nothing at stake, and it's already very subjective. You could quantifiably assess each player, but if you choose to do that, it's still up to personal value. The way I judge it is that "World-class" is as if you put together a couple of squads who could compete for an all-star world title, or whatever you want to call it. In my head, I think of World-class players (Mbappe, Kane, Salah, Haaland, De Bruyne, Modric, Bellingham, Messi, etc.); Continental-class players, who probably rotate in and out of that bracket based on form (Son Heung-Min, De Ligt, Bernardo Silva, Musiala, Trent, Emilio Martinez, etc.) - I put Saka and Foden in this bracket - and; Top-class players, who I wouldn't quite make put in a continent's class (Nunez, Rice, Richarlison, De Jong, Gnabry, etc.).

It's clear that Rodri is the most influential based off the results in his absence. Foden is for the first time, being relied on consistently. Saka has been relied on heavily for multiple seasons. He has performed in every test he was given from early on. Also outperforms Foden for England. World Class is someone with the ability to transfer his abilities regardless of where they play.

The disrespect on Saka’s name is crazy.

If you don’t agree, it’s my opinion so I really don’t give a f**k🤷🏾‍♂️

I said here before euro 2021 that Saka is better and more effective than Foden, and Saka went on to proof it at the competition (euro 21 and the world cup) by putting Foden on the bench. If you give Pep Saka y'all including Rio will shut up. Pep can't trust Foden. Foden is smooth, Porsche but he's no Lionel Messi. Saka is more effective forget talent. "Talent is not enough." CR7

You guys are getting it all wrong. Saka was never a left back. He played as left back couple of times but he was not a left back.

The problem here is that neither are world class. So saying that one is, and one isn't has caused the outrage.

Why are Brits so obsessed with "WoRLd CLaSS??"..There's no defintion for it so who cares, lmao. Saka is a better winger and Foden is better centrally.

Saka was starting for England as left back, left wing back, right back. First two seasons he was playing as left back at Arsenal by the way.

The problem is that they play different positions thats y it doesn't make sense even they are in teams with different levels and they are of different years

Its hilarious thatthe argument surrounding City players is always "they play for City of course they're going to win trophies" yet so little City players get called world class. Why do they win so much if none of them are world class? 😂

I think it comes to down to their individual attributes because they play in two completely different teams. It’s also unfair to foden because he plays everywhere for city while Saka plays solely on the right. I prefer foden and I think he’s better technically though

Im a Barca fan but the the Saka/Foden discourse is hilarious. People think that Foden is more technical and Saka is the one that relies more on Pace & Power, when in reality it’s the exact opposite. Saka is better at receiving and operating in tight spaces, better at combining with teammates, better deliveries and more creative. Foden is much more explosive. Superior at receiving and playing in big spaces, far quicker in transition, more powerful shooter. Not to say that Saka is not athletic or that Foden is not excellent technically, which they both are, but the public perception of both has it so so wrong, purely because Foden’s receiving and dribbling style is more aesthetically pleasing. 0 actual analysis goes into it.

ur actually right here, foden looks better on the eye than saka due to his dribbling style. But saka is very effective, dangerous and almost always causes goalscoring opporutnities. Based on attacking and chances created statistics over the past 2 years, saka is actually one of the best rw in europe. Saka has excellent crossing placement and great striking technique aswell which he has now displayed many times with outside the box finishes. Foden is definitely more explosive, and this is what makes his style of play more easy on the eye. more time you will see him suddenly lose his man then accelerate into the box to latch onto a pass and finish a goal.

Saka on present display is WORLD CLASS! Foeden is also world class on present display

Culture cams argument is fair. (Arsenal fan)

The age old debate of Potential Vs Effectiveness. I watch both teams and if it's a debate about who is better on the wings then it's not even close. But if it's a debate about who has won the most trophies then its Phil Neville, I mean Foden 😂

the very same Saka that keeps Foden on the bench in the national team. and winning the best player for the national twice in row.

Yesterday's game against Man United proved Foden is on his way to becoming world-class than Saka.

Facts: according to transfer market, Saka valued at 120mil and Foden 110mil. You got the answer

Young Phil is a classy as fook wherever He plays, Saka has been getting very good in the last year or so, not players who play the same game, . If I choose, it's young Phil, top player and only getting better

"Getting good in the last year or so?" 😂

Ask yourself. Who would you put in your team in fantasy football is the better player imo

I feel if foden was at Liverpool, arsenal, spurs or Chelsea, he'd nothing more than just a talented player, but because of his trophy cabinet he's sometimes over exaggerated

No debate….Saka is better, but hey Foden is a fantastic player. World class is subjective ffs…it’s an opinion and the influencer world have to debate it, for likes. Both fantastic players and England are blessed to have them both.

Rio had a stinker. Neither are world class. Although Foden has put in a couple of world class performances. To be world class you need to be playing at one of the best teams competing for trophies and be indispensable to your team. If you’re an attacking playing your need to be consistently doing bits in clutch situations.

Funny thing is, if you put aside the bias that's exactly what Saka is doing. Arsenal might not have won any major trophies lately, but they are competing for them.

Saka was in the top 25 footballer in the world for Ballondor and yet people still don’t think he’s world class. Laughable.

Soo when Haaland and KDB was injured, wasn't Foden indispensable for City? Even who those 2 are back today, wasn't Foden still indispensable? Hatrick vs Brentford for comeback, 2 G/A vs Copenhagen?

Sorry guys I forgot to add over a prolonged period. I think when everyone is fit Foden doesn’t always start. I think he will eventually reach the level. But I do think we hand out these accolades too quickly these days

Dude wtf is a world class ? Give the criteria. Evryone argue as if there is a definitive definition for world class when it is subjective af.

Could have played that video at the beginning and saved time but glad you didn't as it perfectly displays the Arsenal fans

when your conversation (argument) is supported by "if", think about another way of addressing your argument.

Think of it like this. If England are in a world cup game against France, does anyone really believe the French manager and players are losing sleep the night before because they have to come up against Saka or Foden? Lol cmon. They're good players, but a long way to go before being considered world class.

The first guy nailed it down. More sense that most so called pundits

Guys, two seasons ago, Saka and Smith Row ensured Arsenal didn't finish in the second part of the table.

It’s ok Rio. I’m an Arsenal fan & you ain’t wrong. Tired of these deluded fans that don’t know ball.

These suggestion are subjective and need not to be debated !!!

So according to rio harry Kane isn't world class based on trophies

I don’t think either of them are world class yet, the issue is there very little evidence of Saka doing it on the biggest stages. Foden being in a better team gives him the bias

Rio has just jinx this and now Saka is going to score a hat trick against Fcporto🤯🤯😪😪

These "world class" debates are so stupid. It's the same nonsense as the "big club" thing. What does world class even mean? They're arguing over a term that doesn't really have any meaning as there's no set criteria for a player to be recognised as world class or not. It's kind of just a football fans way of saying "this player is extremely good", which is ridiculously vague, and each of them probably have a different idea of what constitues a world class player anyway. Pointless discussion

Saka has more goals and assists in his first 200 games then Ronaldo, 51 goals 50 assists put some respect on saka name, what's foden record first 200 games 😂 , hate for arsenal is jokes, saka is better then foden, the numbers don't lie

thank you.

Both are good players. But Foden is a better 'baller'. Technical, finishing, movement, all that. I believe everybody is thinking too much about the word 'world-class' in the football world. 'When someone says, 'world-class', I just think a good player (more than your average player). It's just a generic word for an absolutely good player.

Rio doesn't make sense here in term of defining world class

first comment foden is better than all arsenal players who is with me👇❤️

He would be a good back up for Odegaard. He's not as effective as Saka on the wings. He would face the same problems at Arsenal as he does at Citeh.

I think we can say Harry Kane wasn't world class as a Spurs player by some people's arguments.
