2025 Fantasy Outlook
Patterson was excellent in his third season in the Championship, keeping 14 clean sheets while conceding just one goal per match. The step up to the Premier League is always tough for goalkeepers and Patterson is no exception. The general increase in level means Patterson will likely fall below double-digit clean sheets for the first time as Sunderland's starter. Surpassing five clean sheets could be difficult, though 100-plus saves are now in the equation. Patterson is also kind of playing for his job, since remaining the No. 1 isn't guaranteed for the entire season in the Premier League.
Close call for start of season
Patterson is still battling a knock and is in a race against time to be fit for the start of the season, according to manager Regis Le Bris, per Phil Smith of the Sunderland Echo. " For Patto and Riggy, it will take a bit longer. It will probably take more like ten days for them to be able to take part in full competition. By that stage, they should be back doing everything, so hopefully they will have a chance for the first game. It's possible."
ANALYSIS
Patterson has been unable to compete this offseason during any of the club's preseason friendlies due to a knock, battling a knock the past few weeks. This will leave him leave his status for the opening matchday up in the air, as he will need to train and will hope to see some time in a friendly ahead of the season. It appears it will be a close call for the goalie to make the start of the season, leaving Simon Moore as a possible replacement or possibly bringing a new face into the club to cover goalie duties until he returns.
