Unai Simon
28-Year-Old
Athletic
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Simon was excellent for most of 2024/25, though he had to deal with a wrist injury early that sidelined him for a long stretch. He returned to deliver consistent performances, finishing with 10 clean sheets in 21 games. He showed quick reflexes, good command of his area and continued improving his passing under pressure. His confidence in goal made a visible difference in the team's ability to play out from the back. Now fully settled as a top La Liga keeper, Simon enters 2025/26 looking to maintain that standard. At full strength, there's no reason he can't reach the 16 clean sheets he secured two campaigns ago.
Allows four in loss
Simon (foot) made three saves and conceded four goals during Saturday's 4-0 loss against Barcelona.
ANALYSIS
Simon didn't need to miss any time despite the fact that he appeared to suffer an injury while serving his national team midweek. However, his return didn't help much against a ruthless Barcelona offense that scored twice each half. This has been a rough campaign for the goalkeeper, who was coming off a clean sheet on his previous domestic appearance but has just three over 17 starts in all competitions, not to mention the 26 goals allowed.
