Est. Return 1/10/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Foster's 2024/25 campaign in the Championship was riddled by injuries limiting him to just 1,591 minutes. He finished with two goals and five assists, a mediocre return given that he had five goals and three assists in the prior campaign in the Premier League. The other question is minutes, as Foster struggled to find a consistent role in the starting XI after returning from injury. If he can get back some form he had prior to injury, there's no question he can produce in the Premier League if the minutes are there.
Headed to AFCON
Foster is departing for AFCON with South Africa and will be out until early January.
ANALYSIS
Foster is departing Burnley as he links up with his national team for AFCON. The striker has made 13 appearances (11 starts) prior to departing, scoring twice and assisting once. Zian Flemming should take on a heavier workload while Foster is out of the team.
