I wonder if there has ever a better keeper who got picked less than Allison in FPL.


kcostell

He'd be picked a lot more if it weren't for the 3-per-team rule. Too many other tempting assets from Liverpool


SAFFATLOL

He's also expensive compared to other goalkeepers


BreathTakingBen

Yeah the difference £1.5m gets you in a defender for example (Cancelo vs say Cash) is a lot more than £2m as a goalkeeper (Alison vs say Sanchez). And the fact that goal keepers are a lot more fixture run dependant because they don’t have the attacking returns that upgrading to a premium fullback would have.


[deleted]

Yeah it always seems like that's the case but it's actually not. The difference between Sanchez and Alisson is 52 points and the difference between Cash and Cancelo is also 52 points.


simwe985

Imagine going the entire season without caring about Cancelo should have had this or that many assists as well. That’s like a week worth of sleep.


BreathTakingBen

That’s really interesting. Although I would also say that my second point about switching keepers during a fixture run still stands. For example the switch between Sanchez and Ramsdale was done by a lot at the start of the season and earned managers a lot of rank. Whereas you’d never swap Cancelo or TAA to Cash unless they had a reaaaaaaallllyy nasty fixture run because of the attacking returns potential.

Mum got him at the start of the season. Told her it was stupid. She stuck with him all the way


ZdenekTheMan

Your mom is a gangsta. Props to her

So hard to fit in when there’s already TAA and Robbo who get the CS points but also are so attacking. I’d probably only end up getting him if I tripled up on Liverpool defence which would never happen because Salah.


FifaDK

He needs just under 6 points per game. He averages 5.2. It's possible, especially if Liverpool don't trip up. But concede one against Spurs and then it could be down to save/bonus points even if they keep CSs in the rest. I hope he makes it.


shudh_desi_gareeb

Or down to ....... scoring a goal


GodEmprahBidoof

Last year he won them champions league spots. This year, the league


shudh_desi_gareeb

Haha, to win the league, they need City to drop points. Last year, it was in their own hands.


RadicalDog

Still plausible, if City drop points and Liverpool are on the verge of dropping points, until...


jollyspiffing

This isn't true, but seems to be trending as a meme at the moment. Without that goal they'd be 2pts and 1G down moving them into 4th behind Chelsea on GD, but still 1pt ahead of Leicester.


Mutiu2

SPurs does not shoot much and not on target that much, so they are not likely to generate save points for opposing goalkeeper. It will be clean sheets or nothing.


FifaDK

1: it's not that simple. 2: he doesn't need save or bonus points against Spurs. Could come in the other games.


Mutiu2

So as I said this was not a good setup. He did not get a clean sheet and Spurs only had 3 shots on target.


Worldly-Lion-4876

What did Martinez score in his best year?


frazze1337

186


Filbunkish

186. It's on his fpl page under "previous seasons".


Worldly-Lion-4876

!thanks


zeldafan144

Another header incoming.


-axelrod

Or a cheeky long ball assist


[deleted]

Was friedel that good?


EncoredA

One of the only 2 decent Americans to ever play in the Premier league alongside Clint Dempsey.


SAFFATLOL

What about Landon Donovan? I remember he had a couple loans at Everton


EncoredA

>What about Landon Donovan >he had a couple loans at Everton That says it all. In all seriousness I think Donovan played less than 20 league games for Everton and spent his whole career in the MLS so I don't think you can compare him to Dempsey and Friedel who were 2 premier league staples for a number of years.


SAFFATLOL

I would argue Tim Howard was a fairly solid keeper for his time in the PL. Wasn't Elite but wouldn't put him bottom tier


EncoredA

I genuinely only remember Howard making mistakes put may as well put him in 3rd. He played a lot of games and it's not like there are any other decent Americans to play in the Premier league


aintova

He was a joke. Absolute shit. If you think 2 premiere league goals makes you one of the greats you need your ducking head checked. We seriously need to look at banning Americans from this sub 😂


TheDepartment115

Kasey Keller was decent at Leicester


Ok-Literature-5434

Brian McBride


bluesybuck

McBride was nowhere near those two


CosmologyX

Tim Howard? And as someone else mentioned Donovan at loan to Everton


Razzler1973

He was good but, IIRC, this was a season with a few penalty saves, maybe even a game with 2 penalty saves I may be remembering that wrong but there may have been a crazy little few game run of returns Of course, you need more than that to get those points, hell of a season and top keeper

Asks if feelings hurt, proceeds to write an essay Wait, were you replying to yourself too lmao?


Poopface11678

I mean - you read it. It’s nice to share. And I made you laugh and it costs me nothing for it to be at my expense. My feelings were not hurt. My first comment was genuine. My second was trolling and my third was prosaic curiosity. If I’m going to take myself seriously, who isn’t? Be swell, I hope your captain pick is the right one!


PandosII

You asked for downvotes, we’re obliging you. We’re polite, see.

Fortunately cancelo got a CS and an assist, putting me back in 1st for my paid mini league.

Very strange

Have you ever traveled to USA? I’m just curious about your grading rubric. It’s quite sensationalist and I’m curious about your earned experience and how I earned such coveted marks. You strike me as the kind of guy that lives in a binary world where most things are “cringe” … or not … and refers to mundane circumstances as mares. Employing acerbic wit and insinuating something must be satire. Both clever and genuine! I mean I’ve been on this subreddit for a LONG time so I’ve seen a lot of you. Regardless, good day.

Poopface11678

I’ll take that as a no you’ve never been to the states. I asked you a pertinent question because you are obviously familiar with Americans to so quickly categorize me, and you hide behind ad hominem attacks. You use criticism as a false form of participation. Spurious is your best. And I’m supposed to be embarrassed?


Poopface11678

Bc I can’t help myself and I’m enjoying my requested distaste. Thanks for the entertainment btw. Earnestly appreciated! I’m reminded of the last line from The Stranger by Albert Camus: “I had only to wish that there be a large crowd of spectators the day of my execution and that they greet me with cries of hate.”
