Lyle Foster
25-Year-Old
Burnley
Premier
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.
Named on bench Saturday
Foster (illness) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Liverpool.
ANALYSIS
Foster is named on the bench for Saturday's match against Liverpool after returning from illness and delivering an impressive AFCON campaign with South Africa, scoring two goals and adding two assists in four games. He played 14 minutes as a substitute against Manchester United and was left out of the 5-1 FA Cup win over Millwall. Foster has been a regular starter for the Clarets this season and will likely claim back that role in upcoming fixtures.
