Fantasy Premier League tips 2022/23: Goalkeepers to sign
Your complete guide to Fantasy Premier League goalkeepers you should sign in 2022/23.
Fantasy Premier League goalkeepers are literally the first name on the team sheet and selecting a superstar should be a high priority when picking your team for 2022/23.
Many FPL bosses opt to 'set and forget' with Ederson and Alisson, of Manchester City and Liverpool, the two most prized assets between the sticks.
Rather than try to guess which games inferior options will collect clean sheets, managers will often select one of the two elite stoppers and simply leave them untouched for the full duration of the season.

They're back for 2022/23 but they're not the only keepers you should be eyeing up ahead of the new campaign for those daring to go bold away from the main two stars.
Budget options can often bear major fruit for a low cost if you choose wisely at the start of the campaign. Keepers for teams lower down the league are more prone to save points and man of the match bonuses due to the amount of shots they will face compared to elite stoppers.
RadioTimes.com brings you our Fantasy Premier League tips, including the goalkeepers you should sign for your FPL team in 2022/23.

Best FPL goalkeepers 22/23
Budget FPL goalkeeper
Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace) £4.5m
Johnstone was superb for West Brom despite their relegation to the Championship in 2020/21. He picked up 140 points including 19 bonus points. That would put him fifth in the list of keepers' last season totals.
He is likely to gain the starting spot over Vicente Guaita in a Crystal Palace team that kept more clean sheets than any team outside of last season's top five.
Mid-price FPL goalkeeper
Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester) £5.0m
It's fair to say 2021/22 wasn't one to shout about for Leicester. It was a muted affair by all accounts, and their defensive stability wasn't exactly lauded.
However, Schmeichel picked up 12 bonus points and made two penalty saves, both factors that can set goalkeepers apart from rivals in FPL. If Leicester can bounce back with an improved season, he could be looking at 150 points or more.
Premium FPL goalkeeper
Ederson (Man City) £5.5m
Everybody plays FPL a different way, but for the patient, long-game players, look no further than Ederson.
He finished below Alisson in the points charts based on bonus points, but City look stronger than ever here, while Liverpool haven't reinforced their defensive ranks. We're not suggesting Liverpool will plunge in 22/23, just that City have the advantage and Ederson will benefit. Set and forget.
