Sunderland's Best Starting XI For The 2015-16 Season

18. GK - Costel Pantilimon

After an an extremely successful season in between the sticks for Sunderland (where he conceded less goals than David De Gea, and also had a better saves per goal ratio and equalled the Spaniard's clean sheets tally of eleven) you can't look past big Costel. As talented as Vito Mannone is, it's hard to see the colossal Romanian being kept out of the Sunderland side.
