Luiz Junior
24-Year-Old
Villarreal
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Luiz Junior was the backup goalkeeper to Diego Conde in the first half of the 2024/25 campaign, but once he grabbed a starting role following the former's knee injury in December, he closed the season in the XI. He ended up starting in 16 of Villarreal's last 24 games, conceding a mere 18 goals and keeping five clean sheets. It might be an open competition as to who starts the 2025/26 campaign, but based on the body of work last season, Luiz Junior might have the upper hand. If that's the case, he could be a strong choice as your starting goalkeeper once the top-tier options are off the board.
Clean sheet against Oviedo
Junior recorded four saves and secured a clean sheet in Friday's 2-0 victory over Oviedo. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 13th minute.
ANALYSIS
Junior saw a solid start to the campaign Friday, stopping all four shots he faced on target to earn a clean sheet. This is a good start after he assumed the starting role midway through last season, earning five clean sheets in 17 appearances. He will now look to carry this into their next match when facing Girona on Aug. 24.
