3. Simon Mignolet (Liverpool) - 31.4% Of Teams Selected
Mignolet had the perfect Liverpool league debut, saving a penalty and keeping a clean sheet on the way to a 15-point performance. Liverpool do keep clean sheets, and Mignolet is reasonably-priced, and worth the price, considering he's good value for points earned with an inferior outfit last season. He's got good defenders in front of him, with Aly Cissokho, Agger, Glen Johnson, and possibly Kolo Toure in front of him, expect his clean sheet count to increase on his 11 from last season. With Reina in Italy, it's clear he's their Number 1 for this season at least; that security alone has been enough for almost a third of teams.
