David Raya
30-Year-Old
Arsenal
Premier
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Raya was the best goalkeeper in the league again in 2025/26, keeping 19 clean sheets across 37 appearances and claiming a third straight Golden Glove as Arsenal won the title. For fantasy that is about as good as it gets for a keeper, combining elite clean-sheet volume with save points and the security of an ever-present role. Playing behind the meanest defense in the division gives him a floor few keepers can match, and there is no rotation risk to speak of under manager Mikel Arteta. The only consideration is price, as the top keepers cost more, but the shutout numbers more than repay it. He is a premier fantasy goalkeeper and arguably the position's safest pick, worth paying up for given Arsenal's defensive dominance.
Makes four saves in win
Raya had four saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Chelsea.
ANALYSIS
Raya had kept clean sheets in each of his first two Premier League appearances before Morgan Rogers' opener ended that run, and his four saves against Chelsea's fluid attack underline his continued importance as the last line of defense in manager Mikel Arteta's system. He heads into the Napoli Champions League fixture having conceded just once across three Premier League appearances, a record that reflects both his individual quality and the defensive structure built around him.
