5. Martin Dubravka – Newcastle | 42 points | £4.3m
While calling him a Newcastle legend might be an overstatement, Martin Dubravka has certainly left a notable impact on the club. Often expected to transfer to the Middle East this month, Dubravka surprisingly began to start matches with Nick Pope sidelined for an extended time. It was believed he would depart this month, but he has grown too crucial at St. James’ Park. Dubravka is expected to perform well as Newcastle competes against Fulham this weekend. The seasoned goalkeeper has recorded 24 saves and kept 5 clean sheets in the 8 matches he has started.

4. Andre Onana – Manchester United | 82 points | £5.0m
Manchester United may feel a bit more positive after securing a couple of consecutive victories in what has been a tough season. Andre Onana, though, following a strong beginning to the season, has faced a rough spell of form in recent weeks. He will also be under scrutiny, especially with club icon David De Gea, who Onana took the position from, performing well at Fiorentina. Nevertheless, the Cameroonian is anticipated to maintain his position and achieve a clean sheet when United faces Crystal Palace this weekend. A big performance is needed from him though.
3. Emiliano Martinez – Aston Villa | 63 points | £5.0m
Clean sheets-wise, it has not been a great season for Emiliano Martinez thus far, and as a result, his Fantasy Premier League points have been affected. However, when the pressure is on, there’s likely no one better. The Argentine goalkeeper will aim to carry that form into the club season once more. Aston Villa has been inconsistent, and during such times, they require a player of Emi Martinez’s caliber to rise to the occasion. The Argentine typically performs well when the situation becomes tough, so in the upcoming matches, he will be anticipated to deliver a significant performance. This weekend, Villa will host Brentford. Martinez has recorded just 3 clean sheets but has made 59 saves.
2. Jordan Pickford – Everton | 95 points | £5.1m
Everton have largely been quite bad this season and find themselves in a relegation battle. It is only after the arrival of David Moyes that they have picked up. Everton’s defence is their strength arguably, this could be the week they pick up a couple of clean sheets, as it is a double gameweek for them. For that reason, Jordan Pickford could be a worthwhile pick in Fantasy Premier League this week. Additionally, he gets a lot of save points and bonus points. He has 8 clean sheets so far this season and has made 67 saves.

1. Alisson – Liverpool | 59 points | £5.5m
The most important indication of Alisson’s quality is probably the fact that no matter how well Coahmin Kelleher plays during Alisson’s injuries, there is always clarity about who ought to be the starter when he is healthy. Considered rightly as one of the best in the league’s history, Alisson has shaped a time of success at Liverpool and hopes to clinch another Premier League title by the end of this season. In the meantime, though, he will be looking to gain even more points this weekend as Liverpool face a double gameweek against Everton and Bournemouth.
As we turn our attention to Gameweek 24, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the fact that it is a double gameweek for both Everton and Liverpool, the first double gameweek of the season. Everton play Leicester City in their first game while Liverpool play in form Bournemouth. The two sides close out the gameweek with a Merseyside derby.
