Goalkeepers

Ederson (Brighton @ Manchester City, $16) – Ederson is the clear top option at GK on this slate when you don’t look at pricing.  It is the pricing, however, that makes fading him viable.  With this new pricing, we have our top GKs priced the same as our top defenders which is out of whack.

In the past, even a GK in a great matchup like this would be $1,000-$2,000 less than a guy like Trent Alexander-Arnold.  Anyways, Ederson has a great shot at both bonuses on Saturday.  With just 1 save, he’ll be in the 20s.

Kepa Arizzabalaga (Sheffield United @ Chelsea, $14) – Chelsea are starting to play better and Sheffield United will be facing their toughest test of the season.  A win bonus here is likely and he should be able to make a few saves as well giving him a solid floor.  If Chelsea can keep a clean sheet, this would be a big game for Kepa.

Vicente Guaita (Aston Villa @ Crystal Palace, $14) – It took until the last player in this article for me to mention someone in this game.  Crystal Palace are a stout defensive team especially at home, where they haven’t allowed a goal in 3 straight games.

They also haven’t scored a goal in those 3 games, so I’m slightly concerned Guaita won’t be getting a win bonus if we see another 0-0 result.  Anyways, Villa will attack enough to force Guaita to make saves.  If CP holds Villa scoreless, Guaita will hit 20+ with ease.
