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.
Clean sheet against Saudi Arabia
Simon recorded one save and a clean sheet in Sunday's 4-0 win over Saudi Arabia.
ANALYSIS
Simon would have an easy day in net against Saudi Arabia, as the goalie was only forced to make one save as he picked up a clean sheet. That said, his World Cup has been relatively easy thus far, only making two saves while earning two clean sheets. With Uruguay on the final day of the group stage, he could face a bit more of a challenge.
