Best Goalkeepers to Pick in Fantasy Premier League GW29

Gameweek 28 of the Fantasy Premier League served up an interesting set of results. The most interesting result was Arsenal’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United. Bruno Fernandes gave United a lead in the first half, but Declan Rice ensured that the Gunners left the game with something. Dean Henderson of Crystal Palace lit up the weekend with a 10 point haul against Ipswich Town.

Top 5 Best Fantasy Premier League Goalkeepers to pick in GW29

5. Jose Sa – Wolves | 64 points | £4.3m

A couple of seasons back, Jose Sa made an excellent impact on the Premier League, having what can only be described as a standout season. He was crucial as Wolves did quite well back then. But of late, the club has seemingly been in free fall. Their defensive record is very poor, and the way it stands once again, it looks like they will only stay in the division because of how poor the promoted sides have been. In that context, it might be really surprising to see him in this list. That being said, it is a blank gameweek and Wolves have a favourable fixture. Their opponents this week are bottom of the table Southampton, who have found scoring very difficult. In fact, the Saints have scored the least goals in the Premier League this season by some distance.

4. Jordan Pickford – Everton | 113 points | £5.1m

Everton have largely been underwhelming this season and have consistently found themselves in a relegation battle. It is only following David Moyes’s arrival that they have begun to show signs of improvement. Everton’s defense is arguably their strongest aspect, bolstered by the immensely experienced Jordan Pickford. The Toffees are scheduled to compete against West Ham this week. Consequently, Jordan Pickford may be an advantageous selection in Fantasy Premier League this week. Additionally, he garners a substantial amount of save points and bonus points. He has achieved 9 clean sheets this season and has made 80 saves.

3. Andre Onana – Manchester United | 94 points | £5.0m

Manchester United remains inconsistent and is now positioned 14th in what has been a tough season. Andre Onana, on the other hand, has faced a rough stretch of form in recent weeks after a strong beginning to the season. He will also be watched closely, especially with club icon David De Gea, from whom Onana assumed the position, doing well at Fiorentina. Nevertheless, the Cameroonian is anticipated to retain his place and achieve a clean sheet when United faces struggling Ipswich Town this weekend. A notable performance is necessary from him, even while acknowledging United’s challenges in protecting their goal.

2. David Raya – Arsenal | 111 points | £5.5m

David Raya is regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League. He excels at preventing goals and is also noteworthy for his ability to distribute the ball effectively. The Spanish goalkeeper began the season as the leading scorer among goalkeepers, but he encountered difficulties as Arsenal’s performance declined. Nevertheless, Raya consistently puts in impressive performances and commits few mistakes. This week, Arsenal is scheduled to compete against Chelsea this weekend, and they have truly underperformed this season. He has achieved 10 clean sheets and has completed 69 saves in the Premier League so far.

1. Matz Sels – Nottingham Forest | 124 points | £5.1m

Matz Sels is an impressive goalkeeper, and it appears he has elevated his performances to an entirely new level. He has delivered some fantastic displays lately as Nottingham Forest has managed to remain in the European positions. He has gathered a total of 88 saves, consistently saving his team and 12 clean sheets. Anticipate similar results this weekend when they face Ipswich Town. Sels has been the standout keeper in the Premier League this season, accumulating the most clean sheets and the most Fantasy Premier League points. If he continues his form, the Belgian will become the first goalkeeper from outside the traditional PL Big 6 to win the Golden Glove since its inception.

As we turn our attention to Gameweek 29, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the game between Chelsea and Arsenal. Both teams aren’t in particularly good form, and look like they are in dire need of some inspiration. It is also important to note that this is a Blank Gameweek with Liverpool, Newcastle, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace all not playing.

The deadline for GW29 is on 15th March.
