<h2>Choosing a Goalkeeper in FPL</h2>
<p>In general, FPL managers spend less time thinking about their goalkeeper than any other position. That&#8217;s unsurprising: if a keeper starts, is affordable and has a chance at a clean sheet on some gameweeks, that&#8217;s usually enough.</p>
<p>With this in mind, I won&#8217;t overcomplicated this article and bombard you with statistics. Rather, I&#8217;ll present a concise overview. We&#8217;ll keep the long-term in mind, because the less transfers we can spend on goalkeepers across the season, the better.</p>
<p>(However, if you would like some further insight from a tactical analysis perspective please feel free to message me or drop a comment below).</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Should we Transfer out Robert Sanchez (£4.6m)?</h2>
<p>There&#8217;s no correct answer to this question: it very much depends on the state and structure of your current team.</p>
<p>Assess whether the free transfer (I&#8217;d strongly advise against a -4) could be better used in another position. e.g. bringing in <strong>Diogo Jota (£7.5m)</strong> as he has a higher ceiling. Also don&#8217;t use a transfer if you have a <strong>playing bench keeper</strong>.</p>
<p>However, if you are in a situation stronger than those outlined above, I&#8217;d transfer him out.</p>
<p>Why?</p>
<p>Defensively, Brighton&#8217;s performances have dropped off as of late (since Gameweek 6 Brighton are ranked 11th for xGC; 8.5). The eye test supports this: opponents are finding too much space in the half spaces and in behind the full backs from short diagonal balls.</p>
<p>Secondly, <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/"><strong>their fixture run</strong></a> isn&#8217;t too appealing either.</p>
<p>Leeds and Southampton have looked better as of late, especially from an attacking standpoint. Leeds are ranked 5th best in the last two gameweeks for xG and Southampton have injured players returning.</p>
<p>West Ham are in brilliant form and I expect Spurs to only get better under Conte. That rules out the short term benefits.</p>
<p>After that they face Chelsea twice, Leicester, Manchester Utd and Crystal Palace, and the others are non-relegation contenders.</p>
<p>Everything above points to a sell.</p>

<h2>Replacement #1 | Aaron Ramsdale (£4.7m)</h2>
<p>Recently Ramsdale has been the pick of the keepers, producing <strong>17 points in his last two FPL appearances</strong> for managers. The fine performance against Leicester also cemented his England call up and debut.</p>
<p>Whilst the <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">short-term fixtures</a> don&#8217;t look appealing on paper, I can definitely see Arsenal picking up <strong>three clean sheets in the next six games</strong>, providing they keep up this great form as of late.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-40600" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.52.06.png" alt="Arsenal fixtures FPL" width="1802" height="56" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.52.06.png 1802w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.52.06-300x9.png 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.52.06-1024x32.png 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.52.06-768x24.png 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.52.06-1536x48.png 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.52.06-610x19.png 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.52.06-1080x34.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1802px) 100vw, 1802px" /></p>
<p>Since Gameweek 4, Arsenal have recorded the second-best xGC in the league (8.3, which is 0.6 better than Chelsea&#8217;s). The way Arteta has manipulated his 4-2-3-1 with the consistent addition of <strong>Thomas Partey</strong> alongside other factors has facilitated the defensive unit improving significantly.</p>
<p>If Ramsdale does return well over the next six games then he should be in with a shout of having more points than any other keeper, as the fixture run in the long term looks very healthy.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Replacement #2 | Vicente Guaita (£4.6m)</h2>
<p>Guaita and Palace are an extremely similar story to Arsenal. In order not to sound like a parrot, I&#8217;ll keep it short.</p>
<p>From both a long and short term perspective, the fixtures are good. Since Gameweek 4, Viera&#8217;s side are ranked fourth best for xGC (9.5), which included games against Spurs, Liverpool, Leicester, Arsenal and Manchester City.</p>
<p>Palace only seem to be getting better, and I think at this price point you can&#8217;t really go wrong here. Further, Palace are more likely to face a higher volume of shots than the traditional bigger sides, which heightens Guaita&#8217;s potential ceiling through save and as a result bonus accumulation.</p>

<h2></h2>
<h2>Replacement #3 | David De Gea (£5.0m)</h2>
<p>Man United&#8217;s long term fixtures are unbelievable. They might just be the best extended run we have ever seen in the game. In the next four gameweeks, however, they aren&#8217;t brilliant. I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised if they only kept one clean sheet in that run.</p>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-40602" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.55.26.png" alt="Man United fixtures" width="1810" height="58" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.55.26.png 1810w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.55.26-300x10.png 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.55.26-1024x33.png 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.55.26-768x25.png 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.55.26-1536x49.png 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.55.26-610x20.png 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-09.55.26-1080x35.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1810px) 100vw, 1810px" /></p>
<p>It essentially comes down to whether or not you think United&#8217;s defence will improve. Under Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer I don&#8217;t really see it happening and, as such, will be favouring their attackers in these fixtures.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Replacement #4 | Huge Lloris (£5.4m)</h2>
<p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-40605 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-10.02.53.png" alt="FPL Spurs fixtures" width="1812" height="66" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-10.02.53.png 1812w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-10.02.53-300x11.png 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-10.02.53-1024x37.png 1024w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-10.02.53-768x28.png 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-10.02.53-1536x56.png 1536w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-10.02.53-610x22.png 610w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Screenshot-2021-11-17-at-10.02.53-1080x39.png 1080w" sizes="(max-width: 1812px) 100vw, 1812px" /></p>
<p>Three positives:</p>
<ol>
<li>Change of formation and Conte&#8217;s appointment. The three at the back with two defensive minded midfielders sitting in front will provide Spurs with far better defensive cover.</li>
<li>Fixture run. Short term and long term it&#8217;s fantastic.</li>
<li>High ceiling. As shown in the first three gameweeks, Spurs are subject to conceding a lot of shots, hence Lloris has a high ceiling.</li>
</ol>
<p>Two negatives:</p>
<ol>
<li>The price. He&#8217;s too expensive for me to justify with both the wing-backs having higher ceilings and coming in at a cheaper price.</li>
<li>Goalkeepers often don&#8217;t have too many points between them so the extra £0.5m-£1.0m could go a long way in another category.</li>
</ol>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Robert Sanchez Replacements | Conclusion</h2>
<p>Based on the evidence above, the rankings (best to worst) for selection are:</p>
<ol>
<li>Aaron Ramsdale</li>
<li>Vincete Guita</li>
<li>David De Gea</li>
<li>Hugo Lloris</li>
</ol>
