Luiz Junior
24-Year-Old
Villarreal
La Liga
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Luiz Junior was the backup goalkeeper to Diego Conde in the first half of the 2024/25 campaign, but once he grabbed a starting role following the former's knee injury in December, he closed the season in the XI. He ended up starting in 16 of Villarreal's last 24 games, conceding a mere 18 goals and keeping five clean sheets. It might be an open competition as to who starts the 2025/26 campaign, but based on the body of work last season, Luiz Junior might have the upper hand. If that's the case, he could be a strong choice as your starting goalkeeper once the top-tier options are off the board.
Concedes three in loss
Junior made one save and allowed three goals in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to FC Copenhagen.
ANALYSIS
Junior endured a punishing night, beaten three times from relatively few Copenhagen chances. He was exposed early when Mohamed Elyounoussi finished from point blank range off Marco Lopez's cross, and soon after half time Elias Achouri's low shot from Yoram Zague's delivery squeezed underneath him to make it 2-1. In stoppage time, he was left helpless as a deflected shot fell perfectly for Andreas Cornelius, who finished calmly to give the win to the Danes. Officially credited with just one save, he spent more time picking the ball out of his net than showcasing the shot stopping that has otherwise defined his domestic season. Junior will look to bounce back quick from this bad outing against Levante on Sunday in league play.
