EPL DFS Goalkeepers

Mat Ryan (Everton @ Brighton, $10) – I’ve already mentioned how poorly Everton is playing recently, so this play should already be on your radar.

Brighton plays a defensive style of soccer, and while they’ve only kept 3 clean sheets this year, they’re in a good position to make that 4 on Saturday.  In 4 road games, Everton only has 1 goal this year.

Ryan is also making a decent number of saves this year, and if you combine that with both bonuses, that really boosts his potential in this game.

Roberto Jimenez (Sheffield United @ West Ham, $8) – Most goalkeepers at minimum price are in super difficult match-ups against teams like Manchester City or Liverpool.  That’s not the case Saturday with Jimenez.  He’ll be at home facing a team that is below average offensively.

He should make some saves and a win bonus is likely giving him a good floor.  His ceiling would be great if West Ham can keep Sheffield from scoring.  He’ll be a popular GK pick for anyone looking to save some salary.

Dean Henderson (Sheffield United @ West Ham, $14) – Covering the other net in this game, Dean Henderson is another solid play.  Sheffield have challenged their opponents all season.  They’re tied with Liverpool for least goals allowed in the league with 7.

With a good number of people likely on some West Ham attackers as the slate’s second largest favorite, this is a good leverage play.  The only drawback here is his price tag, which has steadily risen since week 1.

Thanks to everyone for reading this EPL DFS Breakdown, and good luck.
