Who would you pick? and who would you remove from these picks? Keeping in mind that it’s okay if our preferences differ.
Andre Onana, most clean sheets in UCL last season, was absolutely a wall for Inter, would’ve ranked him even higher had he lived to the expectations at Manchester United.
Nick Pope, top 2 clean sheets in Premier League, 2nd least goals conceded after Ederson, and a main reason why Newcastle finished 4th last season.
Yann Sommer, performed decently for Bayern, then became the wall for Inter after Onana’s departure, and a main reason why Inter is looking absolutely solid at the back now.
Ter Stegen was a crucial factor to why Barcelona won La Liga but couldn’t replicate these performances consistently and against tough opponents, so that’s why I ranked him lower than those, some would argue he might be ahead of Onana which would be also logical.
Ter Stagen had the most clean sheets in Europe.
Yet, eliminated in UEL and Copa del Rey, and hardly the unique significance compared to whoever above him, still giving him credit for La Liga (which he won times before) and that’s why he’s in the list.
