Alessio Cragano (24) of Cagliari is a joy to watch. A modern keeper adept with both feet, he has been a standout performer this season, comfortably outperforms his xGA. Slightly more diminutive at 6ft, he is an Italian U21 international and will feature in the senior squad soon.

Lazio's Albanian Thomas Strakosha (24) is another who has established himself in Serie A over the previous two season and has outperformed his defence over his 34 appearances this season. Another giant at 6ft 4in, he is very agile for his size.
