Matz Sels
34-Year-Old
Nottingham Forest
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sels was one of the surprises in the Premier League during the 2024/25 season, taking a share of the Golden Glove. It was his first full season with the team after transferring from Strasbourg, not missing a minute, starting all 38 games. He secured 13 clean sheets, tying for first in the league with David Raya. Even better for fantasy purposes is that he made 120 saves and allowed just 46 goals. Nottingham Forest figure to have some kind of drop defensively, but the saves should be there for Sels, which could make him a top-five goalkeeper again.
Starting against Brighton
Sels (groin) is in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Brighton.
ANALYSIS
Sels is back in the team sheet, an unexpected return for the goalie, seeing an accelerated return after he was only supposed to train this week. This likely means the goalie is set to move into the starting role moving forward after the absence, sending Stefan Ortega back to a backup role. Sels was the Golden Glove winner last season so this is a solid return for the club, although he only has four clean sheets this campaign.
