As FPL Gameweek 8 approaches, here are three goalkeepers who could be sensible options to look at before Saturday morning’s deadline.
Three Goalkeepers to Transfer in for FPL Gameweek 8
Matz Sels – Nottingham Forest (vs Crystal Palace) – £4.5 Million
Despite not being able to displace Koen Casteels for Belgium over the international break, Matz Sels will still be feeling confident as he returns to Premier League action for Nottingham Forest, following his heroic performance against Chelsea on October 6. The 32-year old couldn’t have played a better game against the Blues ten days ago, making crucial saves from Cole Palmer and Christopher Nkunku to ensure his 10-man Forest side preserved their unbeaten away record this season, holding Enzo Maresca’s side to a 1-1 draw.

This weekend, he faces a Crystal Palace side who have scored just five goals this season, the joint-second lowest tally along with Manchester United. Couple that with Forest conceding just six goals so far this campaign, an amount only bettered by Liverpool (two), all things point to the Forest defence brushing aside a low-confidence Palace attack and continuing their top-half push.
Mads Hermansen – Leicester City (vs Southampton) – £4.5 Million
Leicester City finally got their first win in Gameweek Seven, as they edged past Bournemouth, facing 19 shots and somehow coming away with a clean sheet. Now the Foxes are set to face newly promoted strugglers Southampton, who are on a run of two successive 3-1 defeats, to Arsenal and the Cherries.
Russell Martin’s Saints are one of four sides in the Premier League yet to claim a win in their first seven games, and as they enter the weekend as the division’s lowest scorers with just four goals, Leicester and Mads Hermansen will be feeling confident in achieving a second consecutive clean sheet of their season, especially if they defend in the same way they did last weekend.
Ederson Moraes – Manchester City (vs Wolves) – £5.5 Million
Probably the most certain banker for big goalkeeper points this weekend, unbeaten Ederson Moraes and Manchester City face a Wolves side desperately searching for a route off the bottom of the league table.

Despite City beating Fulham 3-2 last time out, Pep Guardiola’s side will not want to be as open at the back as they were against the Cottagers. Usually, when City come off the back of a nerve-racking result, they bounce back in style. Winless Wolves against a City side on a roll? There can surely be only one outcome.
