Odisseas Vlachodimos (€5.2m), from Benfica, is the goalkeeper with the best performance in the #UCLfantasy, with 34 points. They only conceded goals from Bayern and the four games in which they kept the goal at zero were vital for qualifying. In addition to having the most points, he is still the goalkeeper in the competition with the most defenses (22), but it may be necessary to raise the level against a top scorer Ajax. Its relatively low price is tempting to many participants.
Manuel Neuer (€6.3m) he has quite similar numbers to Vlachodimos but, given his history, he is more expensive. Still, he is a guarantee of points, including some surprising ones, such as through assists, as happened on matchday four.
Edouard Mendy (€6.3m), from Chelsea, is the most chosen goalkeeper at the moment (34 percent of teams) and you can see why: he conceded just one goal in five games, after having been European champion in 2020/21, keeping the goal inviolate on nine occasions .
In order to save money for other positions, Ivo Grbic (€ 5.0m), do LOSC, Remko Pasveer (€5.1m), do Ajax, e Geronimo Rulli (€5.0m), from Villarreal, are good options for a second goalkeeper.
