5. Kepa Arrizabalaga – Bournemouth | 64 points | £4.5m

Kepa Arrizabalaga is still the most expensive goalkeeper in world football. But at Chelsea or even at Real Madrid he never quite settled in and we never quite saw the best of the Spaniard. That however has changed now and the keeper seems to be on full display now at Bournemouth. The Spanish keeper has seemingly found a home under Spanish boss Andoni Iraola and is performing at his best. He already has 5 clean sheets this season and will be hoping to add one more to the kitty against goal-shy and struggling Southampton this weekend.

4. David Raya – Arsenal | 93 points | £5.5m

David Raya is regarded as one of the leading goalkeepers in the Premier League. He excels at stopping shots and is also noteworthy for his ability to distribute the ball. The Spanish goalkeeper began the season as the top scorer among goalkeepers, but as Arsenal’s performance declined, he encountered difficulties. Nevertheless, Raya is a player who consistently provides solid performances and commits few mistakes. This week, Arsenal is set to compete against Leicester City who have indeed underperformed this season. He has achieved 8 clean sheets and has made 59 saves in the Premier League thus far.

3. Emiliano Martinez – Aston Villa | 65 points | £5.0m

In terms of clean sheets, this season has not unfavorable for Emiliano Martinez so far, and consequently, his Fantasy Premier League points have suffered. Nevertheless, when the stakes are high, there is probably no one better. The Argentine goalkeeper will strive to replicate that performance in the club season once again. So far, Aston Villa has shown inconsistency, and during such periods, they need a player of Emi Martinez’s quality to step up. The Argentine usually excels when the circumstances are challenging, so in the forthcoming matches, he will be expected to provide a standout performance. This weekend, Villa faces a double gameweek against Ipswich and Liverpool. Martinez has achieved only 3 clean sheets but has accumulated 62 saves.

2. Matz Sels – Nottingham Forest | 107 points | £5.0m

Matz Sels is an excellent goalkeeper, and it appears he has elevated his performances to an entirely new standard. He has delivered some incredible displays as Nottingham Forest has managed to remain in the European positions. He has recorded as many as 75 saves, frequently saving his team. Anticipate the same this weekend, when they face Ipswich Town. Sels is also coming from a big midweek performance where he saved Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup against Exeter City and if this trend continues, it will result in additional points in Fantasy Premier League for Sels, who is already enjoying a fantastic season.

1. Alisson – Liverpool | 69 points | £5.5m

The most significant sign of Alisson’s quality is likely the reality that regardless of how well Coahmin Kelleher performs during Alisson’s injuries, there is consistently no doubt regarding who should be the starter when the Brazilian is fit. Seen accurately as one of the finest in the league’s history, Alisson has influenced a period of success at Liverpool and aims to secure another Premier League title by the conclusion of this season. Meanwhile, however, he will be striving to earn even more points this weekend as Liverpool encounters a double gameweek against Aston Villa and Wolves.

As we turn our attention to Gameweek 25, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the double gameweek. Both Aston Villa and Liverpool play twice with one of their games being against each other and the other against Ipswich Town and Wolves respectively.

The deadline for GW25 is on the 15th of February.
