GoalkeeperDavid-de-Gea-604933

David De Gea is the best keeper in the world at this stage and combining that with Mourinho’s inclination towards always being very compact in defence, the Manchester United keeper seems the best bet for thegoalkeeper’s slot.

With Man Utd not playing any top-flight club in the first 3 games, he should be able to provide you with at least 2 clean sheets.

Always, opt for goalkeepers after analyzing the defence of a side because even a superb goalkeeper could render useless if the defence shielding him is not upto the mark. With Bailly, Blind, Smalling, Shaw and Valencia providing the shield, De Gea’s goal looks more than secure.

For the second keeper I opt for any of the 4 million worth keeper because I don’t think I’ll ever be benching De Gea, no matter what the opposition. Thus, I pick Pickford, as he scored the most number of points amongst all 4 million worth keepers.
