#2 Jordan Pickford – £4.0m
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.
