Luiz Junior
25-Year-Old
Villarreal
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Luiz Junior was the backup goalkeeper to Diego Conde in the first half of the 2024/25 campaign, but once he grabbed a starting role following the former's knee injury in December, he closed the season in the XI. He ended up starting in 16 of Villarreal's last 24 games, conceding a mere 18 goals and keeping five clean sheets. It might be an open competition as to who starts the 2025/26 campaign, but based on the body of work last season, Luiz Junior might have the upper hand. If that's the case, he could be a strong choice as your starting goalkeeper once the top-tier options are off the board.
Concedes two in loss
Luiz Junior had four saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-0 loss against Betis.
ANALYSIS
Junior faced one of his toughest tests of the season against a Real Betis attack that put him under consistent pressure. Across 16 league matches, he has kept seven clean sheets and conceded just 13 goals, marking a strong campaign in LaLiga. He has faced only 54 shots this season, among the lower totals for goalkeepers in the league, but still holds an impressive 76.4 percent save rate, ranking among the best in LaLiga. Villarreal may have struggled in this match, but they remain third in the table, and with their defensive structure and Junior's reliability in goal, he continues to stand out as one of the league's top goalkeepers. He will face another tough challenge next against Real Madrid.
