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.
Concedes three in UCL exit
Simon made three saves and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-2 loss versus Sporting CP.
ANALYSIS
Simon ended his first Champions League campaign in difficult fashion, conceding three goals in the club's heaviest home defeat in the competition. Despite the scoreline, he made three saves, including two from outside the box and an impressive one-on-one stop late in the match, though the rebound was converted. He finished the tournament with two clean sheets and 14 goals conceded across eight appearances, but a return to the competition next season looks very unlikely given his side's continued struggles. The team currently sits 13th in the league, has already conceded 30 goals compared to 29 last season, and has failed to keep a clean sheet in its last seven matches across all competitions. Simon will look to bounce back in his next outing against Real Sociedad on Sunday.
