FPL 2022/23 ‘sleeper’ picks: David Raya

The ‘Sleeper’ series returns to Fantasy Football Scout pages this summer.

In these articles, we assess the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players who had a quieter 2021/22, be it through injury, loss of form or otherwise, who we think have the potential to make an impact in the coming season.

Here, we look at David Raya (£4.5m), who could push his way back into our thoughts as an FPL asset in 2022/23.

2021/22: FPL RECORD AND STATS

FPL 2022/23 'sleeper' picks: David Raya 1
  • Starts: 24
  • Goals conceded: 27
  • Clean sheets: 8
  • Saves: 78
  • FPL points: 95 (4.0 per match)

David Raya was one of Brentford’s best players in their debut Premier League campaign, as they ended in 13th place, 11 points clear of the relegation zone.

The 26-year-old featured in 24 games for The Bees despite missing a few months due to a knee injury, conceding only 27 goals and keeping eight clean sheets, form which earnt him a maiden international call-up for Spain.

In that time, Raya also collected five bonus and 20 save points, proving himself to be a very capable shot-stopper at this level.

The Spaniard ranked 17th in his position for FPL points, but matched Aaron Ramsdale (£5.0m) and Vicente Guaita (£4.5m) on a points-per-match basis, a record that placed him joint-fourth among regular starters, only behind Alisson (£5.5m), Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) and Ederson (£5.5m):


With Raya injured last season, Brentford missed his presence greatly, with his deputy Alvaro Fernandez conceding 24 goals in 12 appearances, only registering one clean sheet.

However, following his return to action in February, it’s fair to say The Bees and Raya stepped up a level.

From Gameweek 24 onwards, in 15 starts, Raya averaged 4.1 points per match, a tally only two regular starting ‘keepers could beat (see below).

Five clean sheets were kept in that time, while the Spaniard also racked up 56 saves – only Illan Meslier (£4.5m), Nick Pope (£5.0m), Kasper Schmeichel (£5.0m) and Jordan Pickford (£4.5m) recorded more.


Raya’s passing ability, which is crucial to the way Brentford try to play out from the back, is also worth noting, with only Alisson, Ederson and Robert Sanchez (£4.5m) surpassing his BPS pass completion total of 32.

“I’ve always felt comfortable with the ball at my feet, and we work on that every week. The manager wants us to be another attacker, an extra element in bringing the ball out, creating chances and passes, short and long.” – David Raya

“The goalkeeper could wear the number ten shirt. He has sent several incredible balls, exactly what you should do when you play against us.” – Jurgen Klopp on David Raya after Brentford’s 3-3 draw with Liverpool in September

2022/23: THE PROSPECTS

Squad steps up as Robertson maintains fine form: FPL notes from Liverpool v Brentford 5

After a stellar first season in the Premier League, Brentford will look to continue improving in 2022/23.

And their end-of-season form bodes well, as they won seven of their last 11 matches, keeping four clean sheets while only conceding 12 goals.

“We will keep the foundations from this year – the defensive side of the game, fitness and set pieces. Then we’d like to add a bit more on the offensive side of the game in terms of controlling games like we did against West Ham at home. That was a very good example of how I’d like us to dominate games even more.” – Thomas Frank

“I don’t believe in all this second season stuff or the narrative around it. That said, I know we can be relegated next season, but I also know we can finish seventh. Everything’s possible between 20th and seventh. We want to add layers, build and end higher and play better football. That’s the aim, but you never know what happens to a team when they get a lot of injuries or lose momentum. But hopefully we’ll avoid that and build.” – Thomas Frank

Brentford ended the 2021/22 season ranked eighth overall for expected goals conceded (xGC, see below), but the fact the players now look comfortable in a 3-5-2 and 4-3-3 offers encouragement that they can adapt tactically to different situations and maybe improve upon that defensive record.


Notably, the Bees have a sustained good run of fixtures right through until the World Cup break.

In fact, they don’t meet one of last season’s top four until Gameweek 12, while Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool aren’t concerns until the festive period.

The big six sides they do encounter in Gameweeks 8 and 12 both have to come to the Brentford Community Stadium, too.


Now, with hopefully an injury-free season ahead of him, managers looking for value should consider Raya, who is perhaps the pick of the £4.5m ‘keepers on offer in FPL.

Who played the most minutes over the March international break?

    Can’t see myself deviating too much unless there are injuries or someone has really good pre-season form. I absolutely think Salah is a good pick, just I prefer the other 3 and trust City to start well this year. KdB will be rejuvenated with a proper world class number 9. Aim is to wildcard after gameweek 8, but I could easily stretch it longer if needed.

      Great team man. You should free up a pool slot though. You'll want an attacker at some point

        For an explosive early option switch robertson and wilson for trippier and jota

      If you consider 10m + 6m is better than 2 x 8m.

    Aston Villa have reached an agreement with Sevilla to sign Ludwig Augustinsson as new left back. Deal now in place, been told it's a loan move with an option to buy included.

    Does this mean Cash won't be the super-nailed 38 games wingback this season?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Oh wait, that's Digne. Maybe insurance against his tendency to injuries.

      Hans Carl Ludwig Augustinsson is a Swedish professional footballer who plays as a left-back for La Liga club Sevilla and the Sweden national team. A product of Brommapojkarna's academy, he played two senior seasons with the club before leaving for IFK Göteborg in 2013.

    Sterling at Chelsea & Jesus at Arsenal for just £18 mill … welcome to my team 🙂

    Raya
    James TAA Tomiyasu
    Sterling Diaz Foden Bowen
    Haaland Jesus Johnson

    Sanchez N Williams Andreas Botman

    1. The Knights Template

      Don’t mind this team. Don’t mind a hotdog. Win-win!

    2. Captain-Useful
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year

      So if you don’t mind me asking how much do you think the louse of Mane will effect Salah?

      1. Captain-Useful
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Loss*

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        no idea really, probably not much in the big picture of things.

        But I think Diaz & Sterling will out score Salah & 5.0

        1. Captain-Useful
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 1 Year
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Possible gain from price x2

          1. Hotdogs for Tea
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Haaland C or Jesus C or Sterling C (based upon weakest opposition each week) will cover that with the extra points from Sterling over a 5.0 mill

  8. SpaceCadet

    Thoughts on this 4-5-1 draft?

    Raya

    1. Hotdogs for Tea

      Surprised if you get 11 starters each week

    2. Captain-Useful
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 8 months ago

      No cash. New signing might effect his play time.

  9. Captain-Useful

    Gk Ederson
    Def- Alex-arnold, James, trippier, Robertson, Cancelo

    Mid- Salah (c), coutihno, saka, Neto

    Att- Gabriel J.

    Sub- Toney, Greenwood, 4.0

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      You're missing a sub 4m keeper, and the other nameless sub needs to be a 4.5 mid.

  10. Captain-Useful
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 8 months ago

    G Jesus to Haaland if needs be

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Do you have money to upgrade Jesus to Haaland? I decided Haa is a sufficiently big upgrade, so I've made the change, but I've has to sacrifice Cancelo. In your case, maybe it's Coutinho or Toney you'd have to lose.

      1. Captain-Useful
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Have to downgrade my def or mid to get haaland. Save 1 gwk transfer for the double free

  11. SkyHigh
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Just playing around with drafts with salah n son combo & come up with this -

    Raya-Balcombe
    TAA-James-Mings-Tomi-Botman
    Salah-Son-Marti-Neto-Andreas
    Haaland-Wilson-Greenwood

    Although this is not my original draft. But not bad at all, covering gw 3&5 and none going to make a team without any transfers.
    What do you think?

    1. Captain-Useful
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year

    Hi All Can I ask about Ronaldo’s role? Is he looking outside of the premier league or is he skipping town?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He doesn't want to remain at a car-crash of a club that has no chance of winning anything, and he demands Champions League football.
      The problem is he would make probably any top-class club worse. PSG, Real, and Bayern don't want or need him, Barca can't afford him; the only viable club is Chelsea and I suspect Tuchel knows he'd destroy the side.

      1. fplgaruda
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        He'll destroy any club with his ego

  13. Disputatious Dissident

    I put salah back silly not to start with him cap v fulham and palace can always sell if/when it seems like the right move

    A very early draft
    0.5 itb to play with and a possible early BB
    Sánchez ( Henderson)
    TAA, Cancelo, Chilwell, Tomiyasu ( N Williams)
    Salah, Sterling, Dewsbury-Hall, Murphy ( Rice)
    Jesus, Kane ( Greenwood)

  15. Inter Me Gran
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Couple of questions - yes I know, wait for preseason games…but,

    I like Vardy at 9.5 but will his minutes be less this season or will he stay nailed due to no Europe?

    Leon Bailey: looked good before injury last season - is he worth it for only 5m?

  16. Randaxus
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    So Jesus is getting paid 190K a week and Sterling is getting paid 300K a week, If Chelsea got Jesus they would have got a better player for 100K less a week.

    1. Randaxus
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      110K*

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      They never tried for Jesus, which suggests Tuchel doesn't think the same as you do.

      1. Randaxus
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        If the wages are correct since they are both attackers, then Sterling should be 33% better than Jesus which is obviously nonsense.

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Doesn't work like that. Being 2% better might be the difference between finishing 4th and 5th in the PL.
          anyway, I'm with Tuchel in rating Sterling as a better player than Jesus.

          1. Randaxus
            • 3 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Sterling has an expertise in missing open goals.

            1. OverTinker
              • 5 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              Jesus isn't far behind in that

              1. Randaxus
                • 3 Years
                1 year, 8 months ago

                Still better than Sterling imo

    3. Bartowski
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Always a premium for English players.

    4. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Chelsea are just desperate

    5. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Sterling is the better player

  17. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Anyone else fancy Son over Salah?

    1. amitmishr
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I have him above salah. Going without salah and haaland. If Ronaldo leaves, i will have bruno and son as my premiums

      Salah with a proper centre forward in Nunez may not be as prolific, while haaland fit into a pep team, which typically plays without an out and out 9 is suspect.

  18. Bird24

    hi

    Jesus or Sterling ??

    thxs

    1. Onz
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I went for both see post above. If I ha a choice of only one I would go with Sterling. At Chelsea he could be great.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years

        2.0m is a lot that can be invested elsewhere.

  19. SpaceCadet

    Which of the 8m mids would you start the season with? Currently on-

    Mount
    Maddison
    Mahrez
    Kulu

    1. The Knights Template

      Mahrez to Bowen

    2. Emiliano Sala

    Best 4.5 mid??

      Andreas

  21. The Knights Template

    Is Andreas the best 4.5m mid?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Don't think he's nailed

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        He joins fulham

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Not nailed at fulham

    2. Emiliano Sala
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yes

    3. amitmishr
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I think he has a few goals in him as well. Unless a new guy from promoted teams come, he could potentially be the best 4.5 mid

    4. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yeah definitely

  22. R.C

      Like it, apart from Henderson in goal. Bench looks a bit weak too.

    5. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Pretty good.
      You're going for attacking wingback, except for Tomi. I've noticed Leicester rotates with Wolves, so you could have one of their 4.5s instead of Tomi.

  25. KKluigi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    A: Kane, Martinelli, Jonny, 4.5 MID

    Or

    B: Diaz, Saka, James, 4.5 FWD

    1. fplgaruda
      • 2 Years

      It depend whether you will captain Kane on GW1 or not. If yes, go with A.
      But I tend to go with B

    Essential club , if don't have these your doing it wrong!

    TAA, Cancelo and Salah

      I don't have Cancelo and I can live with that.

            Do I?

    2. amitmishr
      • 8 Years

      Not getting salah. Might decide on cancelo as well depending on cucurella deal and city alternatives

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Not getting Salah ? But will have Haaland?

        1. amitmishr
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Naah, neither, as of now.

          Son, bruno, wilson, Jesus/saka, maddison with big defence

          1. Dynamic Duos

      Cancelo can bend over, I don’t need him in gw 1 when Bowen & co surprise a few again at the London stadium.

      Will get him in gw 2. Planned ft. ( yc + no cs in gw 1) 100% a gw 1 trap & plan is to attack gw 1 with my balls out

    Spreading the funds , 1 premium, this is the way.

      Ramsdale the problem here for me, other than that I like it quite a bit.

        Who would your choice of keeper be?

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Maybe a sneaky Sa punt first off.

          1. Dynamic Duos

            Good shout actually

      Nice team. Ramsdale not my personal choice but I can’t really fault having him to be honest.

    Best option under 5m to complete the defence?

      On Trippier myself atm, Cash has a great start but tough fixture swing

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years

        There both 5m, he said under 5m

          ahah semantics, 23-year-olds can play u23

      2. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Can afford a 5m defender but tempted to keep 0.5m itb to get in Bowen in the second gw for a 8m mid.

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      So a 4.5m defender?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Who though? Tomiyasu?

        1. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Could be. Or check who rotates well with Forest

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years

            Give the rotations a rest, they never work

        2. Dynamic Duos

          Yeah seems so atm

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Castagne/Justin/Ait Nouri/Jonny/Tomiyasu/Mings
      There are a few to think about.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        I'm particularly waiting to see who the nailed starters are for Wolves and Leicester - they rotate well.

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          They do indeed. I cannot pretend to be anything than an old armchair observer for City these days, but I'd expect Justin & Castagne to be first choice. There are Ricardo Pereira and Thomas to think about but if I had to choose one to start with it would be Castagne. As for Wolves .....?

          1. Dynamic Duos
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Just a get 5m defender and play them every week. But if you really want to do the weak play of rotation, then Castagne and Jonny

            1. Old Man
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              1 year, 8 months ago

              I don't immediately warm to rotation philosophy but your choices seem sound.

    thoughts on havertz ? sterling + mount + havertz seem to be the front trio

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He could have a great season and should be nailed on if Chelsea don't sign a forward, I would start Jesus and see how Haverts starts

    2. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      Is he the one who got absolutely nothing when playing up front in a 7-0 drubbing of Norwich last season? If so, pass.

      Could be wrong, but drifts deep when playing 9.
