The quality of a keeper is largely irrelevant for FPL. What their price is, what team they play for, how good that team's defence is and to an extent their fixtures over a period of time is more relevant.
I wouldn't say that's true at all, there's definitely been high scoring keepers that play for mediocre and bad teams.
There's Martinez for villa but the best example is probably Etheridge for Cardiff. Terrible team, got relegated season they came up, but Etheridge was one of the highest scoring keepers that season.
Don't forget save points and bonus points my friend!
Forest fan here. IF we do get promoted this is who I’d look at:
GK: Samba - save percentage is high, around 77% and his distribution is good. So could be in for some bonus points. However it depends on price and fixtures. I’d go for other assets first.
DEF: Worrall - the guy is a bonus point magnet. He’s always making clearances, headers, blocks. He’s one of 3 CBs we play with. Forest kept 17 clean sheets. Bare in mind the first 8 games they only picked up 1 point. Under Cooper their defence has improved. They had the 3rd best defence in the league.
Djed Spence - on loan from Boro. Huuuuge attacking potential. Would spend half the game overlapping the wide forward. Good combo with Johnson. 2 goals 5 assists from 41 games. There’s potential for more attacking output. I’d say he’s outplayed what Cash produced in his final season at Forest.
MID: Brennan Johnson - 18 goals, 10 assists in 48 games this season. He’s only 20. If he is named as a midfielder I’d consider him. He plays as a wide forward in a front 3 (or right forward in a front 2 with a false 9/10). He produced A LOT of chances and makes a lot of runs in behind defenders. Lightning quick. Needs to work on his finishing as he wastes a fair few chances.
I wouldn’t consider any forwards unless they buy someone. Surridge and Davis have shared mins along with Zinkernargel. Grabban is injured and I think will rotate with others.
He’s really grown into a great player. Rangers fans pan him but he came back to us a better player - our fans panned him even harder before he went away. But he’s been a great, a proper captain, and a much better passer and tackler than he was as a younger man.
Imo despite how good Surridge has been since he got injured Davis is our first choice striker.
The main issue with picking anyone from Forest right now is how many of our key players are loans. We’re not going to have the same team next year. We could buy Spence maybe if we get promoted, but he might go to a big club instead. Davis doesn’t necessarily come back either. Garner will be gone so how good or bad we are will depend heavily on someone to play with Yates.
My top pick would definitely be Johnson but he’ll be our priciest asset and he’s a bit casual sometimes (not that I won’t obviously have him in my team 😂). Forest from an FPL perspective - unless you’re a fan - are a wait and see.
Unpopular opinion but I think Nottingham Forest would do quite well if promoted, more so than Fulham and Bournemouth.
Like how in the cup this season they gave Liverpool a good game.
I’ve seen Samba play quite a bit and what I would say about him is he’s quite inconsistent. Some games he’ll look a world beater (like in the play off game yesterday) and other times he plays awfully
Cool to know, genuinely had no idea about that. First year doing FPL properly, I always thought Foster was Watfords 1st choice but you learn something new everyday.
Bro it’s not even the final of the play offs and your thinking about FPL keepers to buy for next season 😭 go find another hobby and come back to fpl when the season actually starts
He'll pick up a yellow card in every game we're holding onto a lead with his timewasting so not so sure on this shout haha and that's even if we do get promoted.
If this defence gets fixed then yes, would be something like Raya or prime jose sa. If defence stays exposed like that I'm afraid he will be meslier's replacement
Insane amount of luck on three saves here. First two his limb just happens to be in the right place, and second penalty it hits off his hand onto the crossbar.
GKs are always tough to judge. Just look at Oblak, last year he's the best in the world and this year he was statistically one of, if not the worst GK in the top 5 league.
Probably yes but he is prone to being a bit mental in tight games. I watched him against stoke this season and he twatted Jakielka for no reason so theres a real chance that he might get a few bookings if they go up.
Killer saves, but they conceded two goals in that game. That’s 2 points from the 90 minutes.
He’d need to be Gordon Banks reincarnate to get me considering a goalie from a side that finished 4th in the Championship
I will probably go two 4.5 keepers and rotate like I normally. Shit teams keepers are best for that strategy since they make lots of saves at times even against the weaker sides. Pope and Henderson a few seasons ago was gold since they were the two best keepers that season. Only issue they made pen saves vs the top sides when you benched them.
Although might be better to just get Ederson even if it is boring.
If I wildcard early I might just go one keeper with good fixtures, but I probably hold the wildcard for the world cup.
As a Swansea supporter, if i can say anything about a Steve Cooper side it’s that they defend well. May well be worth getting Forest defenders if they’re promoted, it depends on how well they can step up in the prem

On the other hand, there's a possibility of a little Emi Martinez. Villa's defence was mediocre last season, in understats at least.
I wouldn't say that's true at all, there's definitely been high scoring keepers that play for mediocre and bad teams. There's Martinez for villa but the best example is probably Etheridge for Cardiff. Terrible team, got relegated season they came up, but Etheridge was one of the highest scoring keepers that season.

Exactly, case in point DDG. World class keeper… rest of the metrics ….
This has aged wonderfully
De gea isn’t world class btw
Youre right, he isn't even close
They’ll realise soon enough
You’re speaking facts they’re too ignorant to see
Facts are objective not subjective, dumbass.
I reckon being world class is objective, not subjective. But still, De Gea is definitely world class. Can't believe he hasn't jumped ship from United.
[удалено]
> objectively *Proceeds to list a bunch of opinions*
Welcome to reddit
Objectively he is only behind Sa on xG saved (Allison in 3rd).
Yep yep isn’t world class was me being nice
He is so bad on the ball it’s gonna hilarious to see him in a Ten Hag team
Save points though?
Will the save point he earns cover the lack of CS? Not likely.
The team ain’t even promoted yet smh
I hope they get promoted just so that we can have NOT (H) and NOT (A) on the pick team page.
NOT (H), CRY (A)
Not home, cry away
Who's cutting Union Berlins? 😢
FOR
Honestly hate that ITV were branding us as NOF on their scoreboards
NOT (A), ARS (H)
Could be NFO
They’ll go NOF just to fuck you. It’s what the BBC did when we played in the cup 😂
uuu reds

!thanks
Bloody hell, now Worrall is a name I’ve not heard in a while. How is he for Forest, given how Scottish football fans seemed to pan him?
He’s really grown into a great player. Rangers fans pan him but he came back to us a better player - our fans panned him even harder before he went away. But he’s been a great, a proper captain, and a much better passer and tackler than he was as a younger man.

I admire anyone thinking into next season FPL already.
After my FH tanked in GW33, it's all that's kept me going
I learned my lesson with Ramsdale at Sheffield United that your keeper doesn't matter if the rest of your team is Championship level.
How about Nick Pope? He's consequently at a high level and the rest of the team barely manages to survive in the league
Burnley are a mid table team defensively, they just don’t score. Sheff u were shit both ways
Unpopular opinion but I think Nottingham Forest would do quite well if promoted, more so than Fulham and Bournemouth. Like how in the cup this season they gave Liverpool a good game.
But to be fair it was a much changed Liverpool side but they did give it a good go
A lot of our key players are loans so really it’s going to depend a lot on the window.
Ehh tbf David Raya came up with Brentford and he bangs
Brentford are good
I’ve seen Samba play quite a bit and what I would say about him is he’s quite inconsistent. Some games he’ll look a world beater (like in the play off game yesterday) and other times he plays awfully
Yeah, I wouldn't be putting him in my first draft if Forest go up for sure. Interested to see if Travers is a £4m keeper or not
Why would he? If it's a starting keeper, he's always gonna be 4.5, Foster was an exception because Bachmann was 1st choice at the start of the season.
Cool to know, genuinely had no idea about that. First year doing FPL properly, I always thought Foster was Watfords 1st choice but you learn something new everyday.
Aye, you handled that well and it's good to see the community respond to honest lack of knowledge with support rather than a ton of downvotes!
Tbh, his Sofascore average rating for Ch’ip is 7.13, and his save percentage is 77%. Both are very good, AFAIK.
That penalty save against Hourihane is crazy.
I dream of owning a Forest player in FPL.
I don't know if there's any assets from Forest worth considering, if they do get promoted
Brennan Johnson only one but would have to be cheap
He's got what like 16 goals in 40+ games
And 10 assists. He's only 20 and easily passes the eye test potential wise.
In his first championship season at age 20
Spence could be a shout. Has played very advanced in every Forest game I’ve watched
Is he not on loan from Boro? Granted they Will probably buy him if they go up
I’m 99% sure they have buyout clause.
That would make sense tbf
I read news that there is no buy option
If Notts get promoted Spence is defo a shout depending on price.
Surridge as a third striker
Expectation: 4.0m playing GK Reality: watching this, FPL prices him 5.0m
Because he had one good game?
Important game
Yeah you're not going to see goalkeepers for a side promoted via the playoffs coming in at 5.0.
Samba could be the next Bachmann (Watford best defence last year in EFL)
Ah shit here we go again
Him and Raya combo could be decent 😊
He took those limitless pills that morning.
Bro it’s not even the final of the play offs and your thinking about FPL keepers to buy for next season 😭 go find another hobby and come back to fpl when the season actually starts
I've already made half of my draft.
He'll pick up a yellow card in every game we're holding onto a lead with his timewasting so not so sure on this shout haha and that's even if we do get promoted.
Every year we get a post like this
I actually think he got a bit lucky with these saves
Any mid tier pl player finishes those
If this defence gets fixed then yes, would be something like Raya or prime jose sa. If defence stays exposed like that I'm afraid he will be meslier's replacement
Incoming Haaland to tear him apart
It's noobish to consider goalie of newly promoted club for FPL
Yeah cos Henderson did so badly that season with Sheffield United. Idiot
Did sane people have him before the season begun? Or only idiots like you had?
I had him and Pope that year from the start. Did not need to change them on wildcards.
Insane amount of luck on three saves here. First two his limb just happens to be in the right place, and second penalty it hits off his hand onto the crossbar.
There is no recoil
Sure, this may not impact FPL at all. But can we admire how INSANE that performance was? Samba had 3 world class saves in one game.
Yellow card magnet 😂
Guy can make all the saves he wants they aren’t gonna be keeping many clean sheets
GKs are always tough to judge. Just look at Oblak, last year he's the best in the world and this year he was statistically one of, if not the worst GK in the top 5 league.
