1. Ederson

Ederson is the best goalkeeper in world football at the moment. Whilst he tends to go under the radar as part of the phenomenal Manchester City side, Ederson is undoubtedly one of the most important players in the team.

In this day and age where passing out from the back is so important, Ederson is easily the best among his peers. He remains incredibly cool and calm under pressure, often starting some deadly Man City counter attacks with his accurate long passing.

Similarly, his shot-stopping ability is definitely amongst the best in the world. He has fantastic cat-like reflexes and elite athleticism, making for a ton of excellent saves.

Most Brazilian fans think he should definitely be starting over Alisson and it’s tough to disagree. At just 25 years of age, Ederson can even go up a level from where he’s at now, which is a dangerous thought for opponents of Man City and Brazil.
