Sky Sports Fantasy Football – Sky Pundit Ameé Ruszkai talks about Spurs CB Juan Foyth

Mauricio Pochettino production line of young stars is already an impressive one and Juan Foyth this week looks poised be the latest product to emerge.



Tottenham’s defensive options are limited at the moment, with Toby Alderweireld injured and Davinson Sanchez suspended, leaving the young Argentine to stake his claim with an impressive performance in Wednesday’s 3-0 victory over APOEL Nicosia midweek.

The 19-year-old, signed from Estudiantes de La Plata for £8million in the summer, should be welcomed by Sky Sports Fantasy Football managers – allowing them to tap into one of the Premier League’s best defences for just £6m.

Having certainly played his part on Wednesday, winning more headers (5) than anyone on the pitch as Spurs kept their first clean sheet in six games.

Indeed, Foyth looks like a player who could bring in the bonuses too.

Against APOEL, he completed 76 passes at a success rate of 92 per cent, which would have been worth a Sky Sports Fantasy Football tier two pass bonus.

The youngster fell just one short of a tackle bonus too, winning two out of the required three, albeit they were the only two he attempted – and the only two he had to.

Pochettino’s expected backline for the hosting of Stoke on Saturday and Brighton on Wednesday might have been a back four, with Jan Vertonghen and Eric Dier in the centre.

However, with a back three likely to be required against Manchester City in three games’ time, he’ll surely be considering testing Foyth beforehand.



Stoke and Brighton are a step up from the two teams Foyth has faced so far in Spurs’ colours – Barnsley and APOEL – as is Premier League football.

But Pochettino has a fantastic track record with young players – nurturing Dele Alli and Harry Kane and, back to his Southampton days, the likes of Adam Lallana into the players they are now.

He’s already brought Harry Winks into a prominent role this season and has an attractive couple of fixtures to play Foyth in, with Spurs expected to beat both Stoke and Brighton.

And should Foyth come in and make an impression, he could go on to be one of Sky Sports Fantasy Football’s bargains of the season – costing significantly less than Sanchez (£7.9m), Vertonghen (£9.8m) and Alderweireld (£10.1m).
