Pickford has been a lone bright spot for Sunderland this season

The backup goalkeeper had to step in after Vito Manonne’s injury and has been one of Sunderland’s best players. Pickford, on an average, has a really high number of saves, which is a big feat considering the kind of defensive setup he plays with. Despite not keeping a single cleansheet, Pickford has been delivering decent returns solely due to the high number of saves.

He has also been one of the front-runners for a bonus when it comes to Sunderland. The goalkeeper is available for a paltry sum of £4.0m and is the lowest priced keeper who is also a guaranteed starter. A budget option like Pickford also gives you the chance to accommodate an extra premium priced player in your team.
