A LOOK AT THE BEST GK OPTIONS TO START YOUR SEASON
Anyone else eager for the upgrade to start planning for 2019/20 as yet?……Yeah, me too!
In my previous notes, I had analysed the fixtures and commented on which teams had the better fixtures to maximize managers fantasy football points.
The Goalkeepers who need to enter your calculations…..
ALLISON – LIVERPOOL
An obvious, but very credible candidate who almost guarantees managers clean sheets in the opening weeks.
Manager Consideration: Will he score more points than the Liverpool defenders who offer threat going forward, as well as those clean sheet bonuses?
EDERSON – MAN CITY
Again, a keeper highlighted for having good fixtures, in which possession dominant city will be very surprised to concede against.
Manager Consideration: Can you make room for the goalkeeper of Man City given the undoubted draw towards Aguero, Sterling, De Bruyne, Silva etc…
LLORIS – TOTTENHAM
Tottenham’s first 8 games will blow very hot and cold for managers. Home games against Aston Villa, Newcastle, Palace and Southampton pose a very good opportunity for clean sheet points. However with games against Man City, Arsenal and Leicester on the road, Spurs may struggle to keep the ball out of their own net when away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Manager Consideration: Do any teams have easier games when you wouldn’t want to have Hugo in goal? A Solution……
LENO – ARSENAL
Have a look at Arsenal’s first 8 games. Removing the Spurs game, they have winnable games at home when Tottenham are against tougher opponents.
Final Verdict: Whilst Ederson and Allison will undoubtedly get clean sheets in the first 8 weeks, if you already have your quota of 3 from those teams consider the Lloris / Leno interchange to get yourself some points on the board. If you wanted to give yourself a chance of a clean sheet in GW4, a short term fix would be Kepa (Chelsea) who has a home game against Sheff Utd.
