Top Fantasy Picks: Goalkeepers

We will have a look at the Goalkeeper picks, taking into account how the defenses are performing and most importantly the next round fixtures.

This is the list of the top goalkeepers of this years UEFA Champions League Fantasy game:

The best Goalkeeper of the Group stage was Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak (6.1), but he is currently recovering from an injured shoulder and probably won't be fit in time for Atleti's match against Bayer Leverkusen. This means Miguel Angel Moya will step in - he could be a real bargain at the price of 5.0.
Sevilla's Sergio Rico kept 5 clean sheets and is also a fantastic option, especially as Leicester City is not in great attacking form. Legendary keeper Gianluigi Buffon (6.6) completes the top 3, but is the most expensive option available.

TOP 5 Goalkeeper picks for the Last 16:
1. Sergio Rico (5.7)

Sevilla have been excellent in defense, the 5-man back line seems to suit them very much in the Champions League and their next fixture is petty kind as Leicester are currently struggling for goals, especially away from home.

2. Gianluigi Buffon (6.6)
Juventus are always reliable at the back and therefore Buffon is a good choice. They should get at least one clean-sheet in the two matches against Porto.

3. Miguel Angel Moya (5.0) 
One of the best defenses in Europe, so their goalkeeper is always a smart Fantasy pick. Moya is second choice though and he will lose his place when Jan Oblak returns from injury.

4. Keylor Navas (6.0)
Real Madrid have been quite poor at keeping clean-sheets, but we believe they will start performing when it counts the most.

5. Manuel Neuer (6.4)
Same goes for Bayern, they have struggled keeping clean-sheets but they are also known to perform the best when it matters the most. Arsenal is in good form this season, but Manuel Neuer is one of the worlds best keepers and will do his best to ensure Bayern go through again.

Best budget option: Alphonse Areola (4.6)
