5. Mark Flekken – Brentford | 38 points | £4.5m

Brentford are usually very good in home matches and poor away from home. Their fixtures till this weekend, are very good. Keeping all this in mind, Mark Flekken would still be a very good choice between the sticks in Fantasy Premier League this week. This weekend, they face promoted side Leicester City. The Foxes have found goals hard to come by and continue to struggle to hit the back of the net. Flekken registered his first clean sheet of the season last week and has made 60 saves.

4. Nick Pope – Newcastle | 45 points | £5.0m

Nick Pope is an underrated Premier League goalkeeper, who routinely goes under the radar despite always doing his job quite well. This week, his Newcastle side play against a struggling Crystal Palace side. Palace have been really poor this season and have only managed to score 10 times, the second lowest in the division. This means that Pope will have a great chance of keeping a clean sheet this weekend. The Englishman has been decent so far, keeping a total of 3 clean sheets so far. He has made a total of 46 saves.

3. Matz Sels – Nottingham Forest | 52 points | £4.7m

Matz Sels is a very good goalkeeper but this he seems to have taken his performances up to a whole new level. He has produced some mammoth performances as Nottingham Forest have managed to stay within the European places. He has made as many as 33 saves, often rescuing his side. Expect it to be the very same this weekend, when they take on Ipswich Town. The promoted side have struggled to hit the back of the net and if it continues, it will mean more points in Fantasy Premier League for Sels, who is already having a great season.

2. David Raya – Arsenal | 48 points | £5.5m

Given the start to the season that David Raya had, it felt difficult to think that he wouldn’t be dominating the keepers’ points chart in Fantasy Premier League. But a bad spell of Arsenal over the last month meant that it hasn’t been the case. However, given his performance against Nottingham Forest last week, it feels like the Spaniard is back in form. Raya has kept 4 clean sheets and made 34 saves. He has conceded 12 goals, one of the fewest in the Premier League matches. This weekend, Arsenal face West Ham with Raya expected to bolster his record.

1. Andre Onana – Manchester United | 56 points | £5.1m

In a big exciting weekend at Manchester United, with the attention being on everything to change under Ruben Amorim, Andre Onana arguably provided the most important moment for them. His massive save from Liam Delap late in the game made sure that Amorim didn’t start his tenure with a loss. This season, the Cameroonian has 5 clean sheets, the most of any keeper and his points tally in Fantasy Premier League is second to none. As the Red Devils take on a goal shy Everton side this weekend, Onana will be hoping to keep another clean sheet. He has made 33 saves so far, establishing himself as arguably United’s most consistent player.

As we turn our attention to Gameweek 13, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the intense fixture between Manchester City and Liverpool. The form of the two teams could not be any different. Liverpool are on the top of the table and are coming off beating Real Madrid at home. While on the other hand, Manchester City lost 5 in a row and then bottled a 3-0 lead to draw 3-3 at Feyenoord midweek. Pep Guardiola’s side therefore are in desperate need of a win but it is difficult to see it coming against Arne Slot’s in-form side.

The deadline for GW13 is on 30th November.
