<h2>Best FPL premium and mid-priced goalkeepers 2026/27</h2>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="76" data-end="159">Goalkeepers are often one of the most overlooked positions in FPL.</p>
<p data-start="161" data-end="466">Many managers are happy to spend just £4.5m on their main shot-stopper and invest the savings elsewhere.</p>
<p data-start="161" data-end="466">History has however shown that selecting the right premium goalkeeper can provide a significant advantage over the course of a season, especially when they combine clean sheets, save points and bonus.</p>
<p data-start="468" data-end="658">Last season, <strong>David Raya</strong> finished as the top-scoring goalkeeper in the game.</p>
<p>Here are our top selections:</p>
<h3>David Raya (£6.0m) - Arsenal</h3>
<p>It's difficult to look beyond Raya as the standout goalkeeper in FPL.</p>
<p>Arsenal once again boast the strongest defence in the league and remain favourites to keep the most clean sheets this season.</p>
<p>That alone gives Raya an incredibly high points floor but it's far from the only reason to own him.</p>
<p>He also offers the most secure and cheap route into the Arsenal defence.</p>
<p>As things stand, <strong>Gabriel</strong> is the only nailed defender for Arsenal and Raya comes in at £2.0m cheaper. Options like <strong>Cristhian Mosquera </strong>could be more short-term picks.</p>
<p>Unlike many goalkeepers playing behind dominant defences, Raya still produces enough saves to regularly collect bonus points.</p>
<p>The Spaniard picked up 11 bonus points last season, which was the second highest among keepers.</p>
<p>He is the prime example of a set-and-forget option.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Senne Lammens (£5.0m) - Manchester United</h3>
<p>Lammens is perhaps the most exciting option in FPL.</p>
<p>United finished last season with the third-best expected goals conceded (xGC) of 47.97, so Lammens looks fine value at £5.0m.</p>
<p>The signings of <strong>Andrey Santos (£5.0m)</strong> and <strong>Youri Tielemans (£6.0m)</strong> should mean they improve at the back too.</p>
<p>Lammens may face a slightly higher volume of shots than other mid-priced and premium goalkeepers, creating extra save-point potential alongside clean sheets.</p>
<p>If United continue their defensive improvement, Lammens could prove one of the bargains in the goalkeeper bracket.</p>
<p>The Red Devils also have very favourable opening <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixtures</a> against Hull (A) and Ipswich (H) in the first two gameweeks.</p>
<div id="attachment_80887" style="width: 1090px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80887" class="size-full wp-image-80887" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/lammens-landscape.png" alt="Senne Lammens" width="1080" height="810" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-80887" class="wp-caption-text">Senne Lammens</p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Jordan Pickford (£5.5m) - Everton</h3>
<p>Pickford continues to deliver season after season.</p>
<p>The Everton goalkeeper remains one of the safest FPL picks because he offers multiple routes to points.</p>
<p>He finished as the fourth highest-scoring goalkeeper (135 points) in the game last season and in each of the previous two seasons registered more than 150 points.</p>
<p>Everton are organised enough to keep regular clean sheets but they also allow enough shots for Pickford to rack up saves.</p>
<p>That combination consistently places him among the highest-scoring goalkeepers in FPL.</p>
<p>The changes to the bonus points system (BPS) could benefit him even further this season.</p>
<p>Goalkeepers now receive additional BPS for saving big chances - and few Premier League keepers are better at producing big saves than Pickford.</p>
<p>He may not have the same clean-sheet ceiling as other keepers at the same price but his save volume gives him one of the highest floors in the game.</p>
<div id="attachment_80888" style="width: 1090px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80888" class="size-full wp-image-80888" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/pickford-landscape.png" alt="Jordan Pickford" width="1080" height="810" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Gianluigi Donnarumma (£5.5m) - Manchester City</h3>
<p>City's number one also offers a fairly cheap route into one of the best backlines in the league.</p>
<p>Pep Guardiola's sides have always dominated possession, limiting opponents to very few chances. That naturally leads to plenty of clean sheets, even if the goalkeeper isn't especially busy.</p>
<p>City ended last season behind only Arsenal for goals conceded and they are very likely to be among the best defensive sides again.</p>
<p>The only slight concern is that typically, we would want to target City attackers or their attacking defenders and he does take up a valuable spot.</p>
<p>Even so, in isolation he is great value at £5.5m.</p>
<div id="attachment_80889" style="width: 1090px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-80889" class="size-full wp-image-80889" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/donnarumma-landscape.png" alt="Gianluigi Donnarumma" width="1080" height="810" /></p>

</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Alisson (£5.5m) - Liverpool</h3>
<p>Alisson is one of the most experienced goalkeepers in the league.</p>
<p>Liverpool had a poor campaign last season but they still finished with the second best xGC (47.45).</p>
<p>Alisson's exceptional shot-stopping means he rarely goes long without delivering returns.</p>
<p>There is some concern on his fitness though, as he is particularly injury prone for a goalkeeper.</p>
<p>He has not played more than 28 games in a season since 2022/23, when he scored a monstrous 162 points.</p>
<p>He is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and can rack up some big scores.</p>
<p>His ability to make decisive saves in one-on-one situations also makes him a frequent contender for bonus points whenever Liverpool keep a clean sheet.</p>
<p>If he can stay fit, he can easily outscore his price tag.</p>

<h2><strong>Best FPL premium and mid-priced goalkeepers: Other options</strong></h2>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="120" data-end="262"><strong>Caoimhin Kelleher (£5.0m)</strong> proved last season that you don't need to play for one of the traditional 'big six' clubs to be a legitimate FPL option.</p>
<p data-start="264" data-end="569">The Republic of Ireland international finished as the second highest-scoring goalkeeper in FPL, recording 10 clean sheets, 110 saves and three penalty saves.</p>
<p data-start="264" data-end="569">Those numbers earned him a deserved price rise to £5.0m but he still represents excellent value.</p>
<p class="PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer" data-start="1861" data-end="1940">Few goalkeepers have been as reliable over recent seasons as <strong>Emiliano Martinez (£5.0m)</strong>.</p>
<p data-start="1942" data-end="2118">The Aston Villa goalkeeper combines excellent shot-stopping with bonus point potential, regularly producing match-winning saves that should do him well under the new bonus system.</p>
<p data-start="2120" data-end="2337"><strong>James Trafford (£5.0m)</strong> is an intriguing option. He is on the verge of a move to Leeds and will firmly be first choice.</p>
<p data-start="2120" data-end="2337">On the face of it, he does look overpriced playing for Leeds but he should make plenty of saves and could well end up being a great pick.</p>
<p data-start="264" data-end="569">Leeds finished the season with eight clean sheets, so if they can improve on that then he has the potential to be a high-ceiling pick.</p>
