Caoimhin Kelleher
26-Year-Old
Brentford
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kelleher had been the long-term backup for Liverpool, starting 10 games each of the last two seasons. He now gets the chance to be an unquestioned starter after making the switch to Brentford to replace Mark Flekken. Kelleher has shown plenty of potential as a backup, keeping four clean sheets and only conceding 12 goals in 10 matches last season. Brentford don't have the most rigid defense, conceding 57 goals last season, which means Kelleher could be busy for the Bees. Last season, Flekken made a ridiculous 153 saves to go with seven clean sheets. It's unclear how he will handle the heavy shot volume, but Kelleher has been one of the better backups in the Premier League and is at the very least an intriguing option as a starter.
Holds on for clean sheet
Kelleher registered two saves and allowed zero goals in Saturday's 1-0 win versus Aston Villa. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 55th minute.
ANALYSIS
Kelleher came up with two saves for a second consecutive game to start the season, while this was his first clean sheet of the year. Up next in league play for Brentford is a meeting with Sunderland on Saturday.
