Fantasy Premier League (FPL) will return to life once again after the international break due to the UEFA Nations League and the continental 2026 World Cup Qualifiers with the upcoming Fantasy Premier League GW 4 of the 2024/25 season, offering plenty of action, surprise results, and key performances.

Gameweek 4 is just around the corner, and selecting the right goalkeeper could make all the difference in the FPL points tally. In this article, we take a look at the five keepers to consider based on their recent form and upcoming fixtures.

Speaking of GW 3 results, Manchester City continued their unbeaten run with a 3-1 dominance over West Ham, while Manchester United suffered their second loss in three matches after a 0-3 drubbing by Liverpool, courtesy of a Luis Diaz brace. On the other hand, Arsenal dropped their first points of the season after being held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton at home.

Coming on to this weekend (GW4), the action continues. with Southampton going up against Manchester United at Old Trafford while Liverpool host Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The day will also see Manchester City looking to extend their unblemished streak against Brentford, Fulham taking on West Ham, Crystal Palace facing Leicester City and Brighton challenging Ipswich Town.

The biggest match of Fantasy Premier League GW 4, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal will lock horns in the North London derby on Sunday, with Wolves and Newcastle playing the final fixture of the week, while Bournemouth and Chelsea play earlier in the day.

1. Alisson

Alisson is once again the top pick for GW4 at £5.5m, and the only goalie with 3 clean sheets from 3 matches with a 12.8% ownership. He is one of the most dependable goalkeepers in the Premier League. His excellent shot-stopping skills and ability to command his area make him a solid pick for the Fantasy Premier League. The defence of Liverpool has looked strong, not conceding a single goal this season so far and with their upcoming match against Nottingham Forest at home, Alisson has a good chance to secure another clean sheet. His distribution is also a plus, contributing to Liverpool’s attacking transitions, and he often earns bonus points due to his involvement​.

2. Ederson

The £5.5m-priced Brazilian picked up 2 points in their last game against West Ham. One advantage Ederson has is playing behind one of the strongest defences in the league. He is also the most dependable starter among City’s defensive players, considering Pep Guardiola’s tendency to frequently rotate his squad. Last season, City allowed 34 goals, with only Arsenal conceding fewer. City faces Brentford this week which almost means a certain clean sheet for Ederson. He is owned by 8.1% of the people.

3. Henderson

Henderson remains the team’s goalkeeper, even though he hasn’t secured any clean sheets for Palace. He earned two save points against Chelsea in Gameweek 3 and delivered a solid performance. With a good run of fixtures, he is a good option and is also a budget buy at £4.5m. He has 3.7 projected points for this week and an ownership of 14.5%.

4. David Raya

The Arsenal goalie is another strong choice for the Fantasy Premier League team. He has the second-highest number of clean sheets this season, just after Alisson with two to his name. Raya conceded his first of the season as 10-men Arsenal were held to a draw by Brighton. However, with the North London derby ahead, Raya will be a top choice to earn points. Priced at £5.5m, Raya is a popular choice and is owned by 28.3% managers.

5. Matz Sels

Nottingham Forest’s goalkeeper, Matz Sels, could be seen as an under-the-radar choice in FPL. Although the team’s defensive performances can be unpredictable, Sels’s knack for securing clean sheets and making occasional penalty saves offers the potential for valuable points. This weekend, Sels could turn out to be a valuable differential as Forest is up against Liverpool. He had 2 points in the last gameweek against Wolves. Available for £4.5m, Sels is owned by just 1.8% of the people.
