Unai Simon
29-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.
Unbeaten record comes to end
Simon registered one save and allowed one goal in Friday's 2-1 win versus Belgium.
ANALYSIS
Simon was beaten late in the first half after Charles De Ketelaere nodded in a perfect cross from close range, a goal that ended his all-time unbeaten record in World Cup action. However, he didn't have much work after that. Simon looked a bit rattled in the second half, particularly when he had to play with his feet, and he nearly committed a mistake that would've given Belgium a late equalizer. Simon should remain between the posts for the semifinals against France on Tuesday.
