The Brazilian has been a huge hit for Manchester City since arriving at the Premier League in 2017. He has justified his huge €40 million price-tag and has established himself as one of the highly-rated goalkeepers in Europe this season.

Ederson's efficient goalkeeping, coupled with impressive ball distribution have enabled him to slot into Pep Guardiola's tiki-taka system seamlessly. He has completed an average of 83.8 percent of his passes combined in the Champions League and the Premier League, one of the highest among goalkeepers.

He even provided assist this season, thanks to his impressive long-range passing. He is also defensively sound as he recorded 20 clean sheets in the league, second-best behind Liverpool's 21.

However, his total number of saves have been very abysmal compared to other Europe's top goalkeepers. He also managed just three clean sheets in 10 Champions League games this season.
