Brighton & Hove Albion's Late Run of Clean Sheets Pays Off

Brighton & Hove Albion's impressive late-season run of five clean sheets in 10 games has led to some surprising value players emerging for Fantasy Premier League 2026/27. One such player is Bart Verbruggen, who has stayed at a reasonable price of £4.5m.

Golden Glove Winner David Raya's Price Rise

Golden Glove winner David Raya has seen a price rise, making him FPL's first £6.0m stopper in five years. Despite this, he still offers good value, with a points-per-million-per-match (PPMPM) figure that is hard to ignore. He is now £2.0m cheaper than defender Gabriel Magalhaes (£8.0m), having been only slightly cheaper last time.

Other Goalkeepers to Consider

Of the other goalkeepers, Karl Darlow (£4.5m) has seemingly joined Manchester United as a backup. Meanwhile, Djordje Petrovic (£4.5m), Gianluigi Donnarumma (£5.5m), Bernd Leno (£4.5m), and Dean Henderson (£5.0m) have new head coaches, which may impact their performances.

What Comes Next?

As the Fantasy Premier League 2026/27 season gets underway, it will be interesting to see how these value players perform. Will Bart Verbruggen continue to deliver clean sheets, and will David Raya remain a top choice for goalkeepers? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain – Brighton & Hove Albion's late-season run has given us some exciting options to consider.
