Alex Smithies

Over the years the game has produced many greats between the sticks. CSKA Moscow’s Igor Akinfeev always ends up playing in Manchester or Madrid and PSG’s Alphonse Areola has been a well-known wonderkid since FM 2010. However, the number 1 shirt has to go to Huddersfield stopper Alex Smithies. He is usually snapped up by a big Premier League club during the first-pre season, becoming England’s number one and the games’ best keeper a few years later.
