Who will be Monza’s goalkeeper? What about Como? And who will be Atalanta’s second choice? To guide you in your choice, here is a table of all the starting goalkeepers in Serie A with their seconds and thirds
“It was better when it was worse.” When hierarchies seemed immutable, when there was no need to wonder on a Saturday morning who would start and who wouldn’t. Year after year, football and fantasy football have changed: games are no longer at the same time, with many teams playing every 3 days. As a result, coaches have had to adapt, opening the door to long benches, transitions, and rounds. The consequences are clear: the concept of “starting” has lost its value, and even goalkeepers, previously considered tireless and irreplaceable, have ended up rotating throughout the season. It is no longer surprising that a starter (like Rui Patricio and Silvestri last year) is overtaken by his deputy, or that reserves like Musso have accumulated more than ten appearances (with excellent performances) in Serie A. At the auction, fantasy coaches just have to study the hierarchy of each club as much as possible. Below, our guide to each team.
Atalanta goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Carnegie Deputy: Musso The third guard: Russian – Gasperini has accustomed us to constant changes in the formation in every department. The goal is no exception, considering that Musso has participated in 11 matches in the Italian League 2023/2024. Therefore, it is not advisable to buy Carnesecchi without the former Udinese player.
Bologna goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Skorupski Deputy: Rafaelia The third guard: Rescuers – In Bologna, the hierarchy is well defined: Skorupski is the owner, Ravaglia is the deputy. But watch out for the latter. Born in Bologna in 1999, he has proven himself on several occasions. Also considering his commitments in the Champions League, he may find greater continuity.
Cagliari goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Svet Deputy: Sherry The third guard: Seochi – After Radunovic’s farewell, Scuffet could also leave Sardinia to try a new adventure in Serie A. At the moment, the Friulians are Nicola’s favourites, but anything can happen in the coming weeks.
The doorman as well
—
pregnant: Audiro Deputy: Reina The third guard: Strong – Despite his vast experience, Reina – who will be 42 on August 31 – has embraced the Como project with the awareness of the uncertainty of his starting shirt. Audero will be the number 1 player, with the Spaniard ready to make him catch his breath.
Empoli goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Vasquez Deputy: Perisan The third guard: Sheora – With Caprile returning to Napoli at the end of his loan, former Milan player Vazquez looks the favourite to wear the shirt in the first minute.
Florence goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Terracciano Deputy: De Gea The third guard: Christensen – Technical change, but not the order of preference. Even after the departure of Italiano and the arrival of Palladino, Terracciano is the main candidate for a starting position but the competition from De Gea is real. Christensen is behind in the hierarchy.
genoa goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Jolene Deputy: And in The third guard: Stolz – After Martinez’s move to Inter, the Rossoblu decided to protect themselves by taking Gollini from Atalanta: the former player (among others) of Napoli, Tottenham and Fiorentina will return to the starting line-up after two seasons as an assistant in Campania.
Inter goalkeeper
—
pregnant: summer Deputy: Martinez The third guard: Written by Gennaro – No doubt for Simone Inzaghi: Sommer had an excellent year and in 2024/25 he will continue to defend the posts for the Nerazzurri. Martinez, who cost 15 million, is basically an option for the future: for a fantasy player it is fine, but only if he is paired with the Swiss.
Juventus goalkeeper
—
pregnant: By Gregory Deputy: Perrin The third guard: pensole – What was said to Inter also applies to the Bianconeri: Di Gregorio will be a starter, given that Thiago Motta wanted him strongly after appreciating his skill between the posts and with his feet. Perin is the deputy, Pinsoglio the third. Finally, Szczesny only annoys fantasy coaches in view of the possibility of a last-minute move to another Serie A club, but his Juve adventure is now at the end of the line.
Lazio goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Providil Deputy: Mandas The third guard: Forlanetto – Even after the farewell of Theodore and the arrival of Baroni, the Biancocelesti will continue to focus on Provedel. However, the growth of Mandas should not be underestimated: to protect yourself from a possible change in the hierarchy, it is better to take him and Provedel.
Lecce goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Falcon Deputy: Fruittle The third guard: Samoga – Especially after the arrival of Guti, Falcone has become a regular at the Salento club: the former Sampdoria player has collected a good number of clean sheets and has excellent marks thanks to his spectacular saves. However, Corvino is used to looking to the future and this year he has chosen the promising Fruchtl (a former pupil of Neuer and with a past at Bayern) as a backup goalkeeper. After a period of stability, the German could aim for a place from minute 1.
Milan goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Minyan Deputy: Sportello The third guard: Torriani – Even with Fonseca, Maignan will be a regular in the Milan starting lineup. But the Frenchman’s deputy has not yet been identified. On paper, there will be Sportiello, who will be out for a long time due to injury. The Rossoneri seem determined to intervene in the transfer market.
Monza goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Cragno (Injured) Deputy: Pizzanaco The third guard: sorento – For the Brianza people, the door is certainly the cash section. After Di Gregorio’s move to Juve, Galliani explored the threads that led to Szczesny, Keylor Navas and finally Rui Patricio. Nothing was done. Cragno’s injury (the player will miss the entire first part of the championship) opens the door for Pizzignacco, but the club will probably return to the market in search of a recruit.
Napoli goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Merit Deputy: Capriel The third guard: Complete – Gollini comes out and Caprile comes in. Despite Antonio Conte’s arrival on the bench, not much has changed for Napoli compared to last season: Meret will be a starter, and the former Empoli player will continue to grow behind him.
Parma goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Suzuki Deputy: Chichizola The third guard: Crows – Good with his feet, interacting between the posts and already having plenty of experience at international level: new signing Zion Suzuki will be a key player for Parma Di Pecchia. Chichizola, hero of last season’s rapid rise, should therefore sit on the bench.
Roma goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Svilar Deputy: Rayyan The third guard: Boyer – Since his arrival on the Roma bench, Daniele De Rossi has shown great confidence in Svilar, who was “promoted” to the starting line-up at the expense of Rui Patricio. At the end of the season, the latter said goodbye to the club as a free agent and instead the Giallorossi signed Ryan. The roles, in any case, are well defined: Svilar is the starter, Ryan the second, Bowyer the third.
Torino goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Milinkovic-Savic Deputy: Ballery The third guard: boba – Despite the arrival of new coach Vanoli and former Benevento Paleari, the Granata should return to the same structure as last season. Milinkovic-Savic will be the starter, and Popa the third. Paleari replaces Gemello as deputy.
Udine goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Okoy Deputy: Silvestri The third guard: The fries – Okay, Malik? Yes, actually… maybe. Already last year, Udinese alternated between the Nigerian and the very loyal Silvestri, leading to an eternal rematch that could also continue during the next season. However, the Italian has recently ended up in the crosshairs of other Serie A teams: therefore, the hierarchy of the Bianconeri will only be determined at the end of the transfer market.
Venice goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Joronin Deputy: Bertinato The third guard: big – Team that wins, no changes. For now, Venezia has confirmed all the goalkeepers who have achieved their goal of promotion to Serie A in 2023/24. So Joronen is still sure of the starting shirt.
Verona goalkeeper
—
pregnant: Montebo Deputy: Pirelli The third guard: Berardi – New coach Paolo Zanetti does not seem ready to reverse the good things that Marco Baroni has done. In his Verona team next year, Montipo will continue to play as a starter, with Pirelli and Berardi assigned to the winger role.
