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.
Beaten twice in win
Simon recorded two saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 4-2 victory over Deportivo Alaves.
ANALYSIS
It's hard to blame Simon for the two goals he conceded here -- one was an unstoppable shot from the edge of the box, and the other was a shot from very close range in which he was unable to react. Simon should remain Athletic's No. 1 option between the posts even if he struggles at times, but he's a matchup-based play right now due to Athletic's defensive woes.
