Best Goalkeeper Picks in FPL Gameweek 23
Shaking up Fantasy Premier League (FPL) strategies, Pep Guardiola added an unexpected twist by confirming Erling Haaland’s inclusion in City’s lineup for the upcoming clash against Burnley. This revelation sparked a frenzy among FPL managers, prompting a rush to secure Haaland in their squads fueled by the fear of missing out (FOMO).
Beyond the Haaland hype, Gameweek 23 is poised to be an intriguing one, with the Arsenal vs. Liverpool showdown standing out as the highlight. This match holds significant importance for Arsenal, who find themselves five points adrift of Jurgen Klopp’s league-leading Liverpool. A defeat could potentially leave the Gunners with a considerable gap to bridge, while a victory could inject fresh uncertainty into the title race.
As FPL managers gear up for the approaching Gameweek 23 deadline on Saturday, January 3, at 11 am (GMT), the focus now turns to assessing the Top 5 best goalkeeper picks in FPL, who hold the potential to amass maximum points in the upcoming fixtures.
