If Gareth Southgate has to take only one of them which one should he take to UEFA Nations League 2020/21.
Saka for me very versatile unlike the other two.
Saka, Sancho or Foden

What they’ve done so far in their careers it goes:
Sancho
Saka
Foden
In terms of potential i reckon it goes:
Foden
Saka
Sancho
So my answer is - Foden
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Foden's trophy cabinet already puts most seasoned professionals to shame, so not sure why Saka has done more than him? Seems an odd claim.
All undoubtedly very talented, but Foden is a level above both. Will be central to any success England have during his career.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably cause he plays, wait for it, a stacked team? Stick him in another team and let's see if he can have the same impact. Foden is a good player. But he's ridiculously overrated. No surprises there though. Heard idiots actually call him a "generational talent."

Right now I would take Foden, I think he's had the better season of all of them. He has 11 goals in 31, Saka only has 6 in 31. Plus he has 2 goals in 3 England appearances.
Might change between now and the end of the season though.

Trusted to play key roles in a stacked team by a manager who has developed some of the best players in recent memory. Saka very good player, but hasn't achieved nearly as much, and his team is 11th. Not exactly pulling them up by himself, is he?
Foden comfortably better right now.

Don’t want to be drawn into debating who’s better than who. However, using ‘[Foden] has 11 goals in 31, Saka only has 6 in 31‘ and ‘and his team is 11th’ as an argument either way, is reductive to a point that would embarrass even Garth Crooks.

Saka has been the best player for Arsenal this season and been their go to man. Using stats to separate them when one plays for a far superior side is silly.
Proving my point exactly. The foden hype is on overdrive. Seen plenty of players like him over the years. Nothing special at all.

In no sense, really. I wasn't really basing position on who is better, more the claim that Saka has done more in his career than Foden. I don't think there's anything that suggests that to be true.
Statistically, Foden trumps Saka, and whilst you can make a claim that maybe Foden just gets more chances because of the team he plays for, then I suppose maybe that would be the case. Arsenal much more reliant on Saka, though, whilst Man City have the luxury of not having to play Foden week in/week out. That doesn't reflect on his own ability. When Pep says that he's the best young player he's ever worked with then you know theres something about him.

I'm well aware that Foden plays in a better team than Arsenal and that offers its own advantages for an attacking player, but it's not like either of them are tap in merchants who are relying on the quality of players around them to deliver balls into the box. They are the sort of players who create and score themselves.
I think they are both very good players and it's close between them but I think Foden has just done a bit more. That's why I added what he's done in an England shirt too.

So if going by stats you’re just going to ignore Sancho 10 goals and 15 assists in 29 games haha. And he has been performing at this level of output for the last three years. The youngest Bundesliga player ever to reach 35 goals. The player in Europe right now (or at least, as of 1 week ago) with the most assists out of any top league..!
I think English fans have already grown desensitised to just how good his performances have been for a young player, for any player. Also doesn’t help he plays in a foreign league so can’t be seen week in week out.

I haven't ignored Sancho. I've been one of the people hyping him up based on what he's done in Germany so far. He hasn't been as good this season but he's started to pick things up recently. Also, he hasn't exactly been great when he's played for England.
As I've said, my opinion might change between now and the end of the season.

Fair enough, I just was surprised to see him left out of your comment particularly if just looking at the G+A output of the players. Yeah even for a season where he has been in bad form (for his standards) for half of it so far, Sancho still puts up numbers
