Fantasy Fives: Goalkeepers | OneFootball

RSL Fantasy 2026-27 is almost here, with SAR 500,000 on offer. Brave goalkeeper picks could be decisive.

According to spl.com.sa, managers who look beyond last season’s big scorers may prosper. Here are five alternative goalkeepers worth a look.

Marcin Bulka, NEOM SC, SAR 4.5M, had an injury-hit debut and played only the final six matches. He kept no clean sheets but averaged 4.3 points, and if he sustains that as Cristophe Galtier’s starter, he could rank highly.

Mailson, Al Taawoun, SAR 5.0M, jumped from 88 points in 2024-25 to 149 last season. Despite that he is only the 10th most-owned at just over 8 percent, and he led the league for catches and penalties saved.

Hamed Al Shanqiti, Al Kholood, SAR 4.0M, joins on loan after Juan Pablo Cozzani’s exit, with no foreign keeper signed. He could be the only starting option at 4.0M, though he has just three RSL starts across two seasons, so it is a high-upside gamble.

Fernando Pacheco, Al Faisaly, SAR 4.5M, impressed for Al Fateh before joining the promoted side. In 2025-26 he recorded six clean sheets and 110 saves for 139 points, including 19 bonus, and at little over 4 percent ownership he is a neat differential.

Milan Borjan, Al Riyadh, 4.5M, turns 39 in October. Across two seasons he has five bookings and 110 saves, with four clean sheets, and delivered 145 points in 2025-26 after 128 the year before. At 10.5 percent ownership he is the ninth-most selected and could finish top five.
