<h2>Best FPL premium and mid-priced goalkeepers 2024/25</h2>
<p>Here are our top selections:</p>
<h3><strong>Alisson (£5.5m) - Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p>Alisson plays for one of the best defences in the league.</p>
<p>Liverpool conceded 41 goals (third least) with an expected goals conceded (xGC) of 45.5 (third best) and I think they should at least finish next season as a top-five defence.</p>
<p>He seems like a decent route into the Liverpool defence if you want to go down the premium goalkeeper route.</p>
<p>Alisson is also arguably the best keeper in the league and with <strong>Virgil Van Dijk </strong>and <strong>Ibrahima Konate </strong>or <strong>Jarell Quansah</strong> as the centre-backs, he has good cover.</p>
<p>Liverpool have a fantastic run of <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixtures</a> in the first 10 weeks. They play Ipswich (a), Brentford (H), Manchester United (a), Nottingham Forest (H), Bournemouth (H), Wolves (a) and Crystal Palace (a) in their first seven.</p>
<p>You couldn't ask for a better run of games.</p>
<p>If you are starting with a premium goalkeeper then Alisson is a good pick. On the flipside, he does take up a valuable Liverpool slot, so that is something to consider.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Ederson (£5.5m) - Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p>Ederson has come in at the same price as last season. He finished as the eighth-highest scoring keeper in the game.</p>
<p>He only scored five bonus points and made 57 saves, which ranks him as one of the worst goalkeepers in these metrics.</p>
<p>What Ederson does have in his favour though is that he plays for one of the best defences in the league and is the most likely of their defensive players to start.</p>
<p>City conceded 34 goals (second least) last season, with an xGC of 34.6 (second best).</p>
<p>It’s very likely City will end up in the top two for defence again, so Ederson will be value at certain points in the season.</p>
<p>The Brazilian can be a good option during favourable fixture runs and if you want a City defensive asset, he is still the most secure option in terms of starts.</p>
<p>Pep Guardiola’s team have good fixtures to start the season. They come up against Ipswich (H), West Ham (a), Brentford (H), Fulham (H), Wolves (H), Southampton (H) and Bournemouth (a) in the first 10, which are prime fixtures for clean sheets.</p>
<p>Ederson has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent weeks but if he moves away, then<strong> Stefan Ortega (£5.5m)</strong> will be first choice and is a very able replacement.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>David Raya (£5.5m) - Arsenal</strong></h3>
<p>David Raya finished as the second highest scoring goalkeeper overall with 125 points despite only playing 32 games.</p>
<p>Arsenal were comfortably the best defence in the league last season. They kept the most clean sheets (18) - five more than second placed City and Everton. They also conceded the least goals (29) and had the best xGC.</p>
<p>They also ranked in the top two for goals conceded in the 2022/23 season and will no doubt finish in the top two again.</p>
<p>With the addition of <strong>Riccardo Calafiori </strong>and return of<strong> Jurrien Timber</strong>, this will only boost their defence as they have ample cover now.</p>
<p>Arsenal have mixed fixtures in the first 10 games. They have plum games against Wolves (H), Brighton (H), Leicester (H), Southampton (H) and Bournemouth (a) but have tougher matches against Aston Villa (a), Spurs (a), City (a), Liverpool (H) and Newcastle (a).</p>
<p>But with a defence that good, Raya is an easy set-and-forget option.</p>
<p>His price point as an entry into the Arsenal defence represents good value, especially with <strong>Gabriel</strong> and <strong>William Saliba </strong>at £0.5m more.</p>

<h3><strong>Jordan Pickford (£5.0m) - Everton</strong></h3>
<p>Pickford was the highest-scoring goalkeeper in FPL last season with an impressive 153 points.</p>
<p>Everton kept the second most clean sheets (13), conceded 51 goals (fourth least) and registered an xGC of 56.0 (sixth best).</p>
<p>This is probably not surprising given Sean Dyche is at the helm, who is a defence-first type of manager.</p>
<p>I don't see that changing this season and Pickford should provide great value even at £5.0m, £0.5m more than what he was priced last year.</p>
<p>The Toffees don't score many goals - they managed the second least last campaign (40) so naturally their defensive assets should hog the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-bonus-points">bonus points</a> if they keep a clean sheet.</p>
<p>It's no surprise that the Everton shot-stopper won the most bonus points (22) of all the goalkeepers and also among his teammates.</p>
<p>Dyche's side have a great run of <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixtures</a> for almost the entirety of the first half of the season. I wouldn't be against choosing Pickford as a standalone keeper to start with.</p>

<h2><strong>Best FPL premium and mid-priced goalkeepers: Other options</strong></h2>
<p>Aston Villa's <strong>Emiliano Martínez (£5.0m)</strong> and Fulham's <strong>Bernd Leno (£5.0m)</strong> have good fixtures at the start but both teams ranked in the bottom 10 for xGC so not as strong a defence as the other options.</p>
<p>Manchester United conceded the second most shots (667) last season with an xGC of 69.64 (16th), so<strong> Andre Onana (£5.0m)</strong> doesn't look a great option compared to the alternatives.</p>
<p>I don't see the appeal in <strong>Nick Pope (£5.0m)</strong> or <strong>Guglielmo Vicario (£5.0m)</strong> with other keepers in the same price range and cheaper having better defences than them.</p>
<p>Spurs and Newcastle recorded an xGC of 63.6 (13th) and 62.7 (12th) respectively.</p>
