Anthony Patterson
26-Year-Old
Sunderland
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Patterson was excellent in his third season in the Championship, keeping 14 clean sheets while conceding just one goal per match. The step up to the Premier League is always tough for goalkeepers and Patterson is no exception. The general increase in level means Patterson will likely fall below double-digit clean sheets for the first time as Sunderland's starter. Surpassing five clean sheets could be difficult, though 100-plus saves are now in the equation. Patterson is also kind of playing for his job, since remaining the No. 1 isn't guaranteed for the entire season in the Premier League.
Heads back to Sunderland
Patterson will return to parent club Sunderland following the conclusion of his loan spell at Millwall.
ANALYSIS
Patterson made 16 Championship starts across 1,440 minutes for Millwall, recording 38 saves and seven clean sheets while conceding 14 goals throughout the campaign. Patterson now heads back to Sunderland where his future will be assessed heading into the 2026/27 Premier League season, having previously been the undisputed first choice at the Stadium of Light across three consecutive Championship seasons before the loan move.

Close call for start of season
Patterson is still battling a knock and is in a race against time to be fit for the start of the season, according to manager Regis Le Bris, per Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo. " For Patto and Riggy, it will take a bit longer. It will probably take more like ten days for them to be able to take part in full competition. By that stage, they should be back doing everything, so hopefully they will have a chance for the first game. It's possible."

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could leave Sunderland
Patterson could leave Sunderland for good in the summer, according to Sky Sports.
ANALYSIS
Patterson was on loan at Millwall but must return to Sunderland for the 2026/27 season. Don't be surprised if that changes, though, as Wrexham are set to do everything in their power to sign him. If Sunderland reduce the price tag on the 26-year-old goalkeeper, a transfer could happen in the coming weeks.
