5 Best Goalkeeper Picks for Fantasy Premier League GW 5
With game week 5 fast approaching, the eyes will be on the top goalkeepers as Fantasy Premier League fans get ready to win the big prize over the weekend. While Alisson was under scrutiny last week after letting in Nottingham Forest’s historic winner, he will still be at the top of the bucket list. Ederson responded swiftly with an assist and important contributions last week. Ahead of a busy weekend, here are the top goalkeeper picks for the Fantasy Premier League matchday 5.
1. Alisson
Alisson is one of the top picks for GW5 at £5.5m, with 3 clean sheets from 4 matches with a 12.8% ownership. He is one of the most dependable goalkeepers in the Premier League. His excellent shot-stopping skills and ability to command his area make him a solid pick for the Fantasy Premier League. The defence of Liverpool has looked strong, and only conceded against Nottingham Forest last week. Alisson has a good chance to secure another clean sheet. His distribution is also a plus, contributing to Liverpool’s attacking transitions, and he often earns bonus points due to his involvement.
2. Ederson
The £5.5m-priced Brazilian picked an assist in the Brentford match last week and will be a top pick. One advantage Ederson has is playing behind one of the strongest defences in the league. He is also the most dependable starter among City’s defensive players, considering Pep Guardiola’s tendency to frequently rotate his squad. Last season, City allowed 34 goals, with only Arsenal conceding fewer. He is owned by 8.1% of the people.

3. David Raya
After a solid show against Spurs last week David Raya with three clean sheets is yet again a top priority for FPL fans. Raya conceded his first of the season as 10-men Arsenal were held to a draw by Brighton in their last home game. Priced at £5.5m, Raya is a popular choice and is owned by 28.3% of managers. Raya can be the one to watch for this week despite him taking on Man City and Erling Haaland at the Etihad Stadium.
4. Matz Sels
After a clean sheet against Liverpool at Anfield, Matz Sels will be high on confidence for Nottingham Forest. Although the team’s defensive performances can be unpredictable, Sels’s knack for securing clean sheets and making occasional penalty saves offers the potential for valuable points. He managed 9 points in that historic win for Forest at Anfield last week.
5. Vicario
Not a popular choice, Vicario could still be an outsider considering Spurs play Brentford at home. Spurs were solid in the 4-0 win over Everton but came short in the Arsenal game. With a decent price tag, Vicario could be an outside favourite. He has kept only one clean sheet this season, but considering he has a good record against bottom-half teams, he could be a good choice for the FPL picks.
