<h2 style="text-align: left">Best World Cup Fantasy goalkeepers</h2>
<div class="mceTemp">Here are my top-six picks in the goalkeeper position:</div>
<h3><strong>6. Alisson Becker ($6.0m) – Brazil</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixtures: Serbia, Switzerland, Cameroon</strong></p>
<p>Brazil have a favourable group and will be the strong favourites to qualify from it.</p>
<p>With <strong>Thiago Silva ($5.5m)</strong> and <strong>Marquinhos ($5.5m)</strong> at centre-back, they will provide a strong spine to the team and Alisson is also one of the best goalkeepers in the world.</p>
<p>According to the bookmakers, Brazil have a 50% average clean sheet chance (sixth) in the group stages across all three games - 49% chance in their opening fixture against Serbia, 36% against Switzerland and 53% in their final group games against Cameroon.</p>
<p>They topped their qualification group and only conceded five goals, keeping eight clean sheets in 17 games.</p>
<p>They are also currently the favourites to win the World Cup at 19%.</p>

<h3><strong>5. Thibaut Courtois ($6.0m) – Belgium</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixtures: Canada, Morocco, Croatia</strong></p>
<p>Belgium also have a decent group, with Croatia their biggest threat. They also won their group quite comfortably, which consisted of Wales and the Czech Republic who are good teams.</p>
<p>They only conceded six goals in eight games, keeping two clean sheets.</p>
<p>They are a good tournament side, having reached the semi-final four years ago. Although their defence isn't the best in the tournament, with the ageing <strong>Jan Vertonghen ($5.0m)</strong> and <strong>Toby Alderweield ($5.5m)</strong>, I think the games against Morocco and Canada offer a more than good enough chance to get clean sheets.</p>
<p>The Red Devils have a 52% chance of a clean sheet in their opener against Canada and 55% and 42% against Morroco and Croatia. This averages a 50% clean sheet average over the three games.</p>
<p>Courtois is a world-class keeper and is probably the premium goalkeeper who is likely to make the most saves.</p>
<h3><strong>4. Hugo Lloris ($6.0m) – France</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixtures: Australia, Denmark, Tunisa</strong></p>
<p><strong>France</strong> are the defending champions and third-favourites to win the tournament this time.</p>
<p>They won their qualifying group quite easily by six points and in the process only conceded three goals and kept four clean sheets.</p>
<p>In my opinion, they have one of the kindest groups and this also reflects in their chances of keeping clean sheets.</p>
<p>They are at 51% average clean sheet over the three games against Australia (55%), Denmark (42%) and Tunisia (57%).</p>
<p>Lloris is also a good shot-stopper and I wouldn’t be surprised with at least two clean sheets in the group stages.</p>
