Raya vs. Dúbravka

Final Verdict: Raya

Raya edges it due to Arsenal's superior defensive strength and a much kinder immediate fixture, with both keepers currently available.

Head-to-Head Analysis

Availability & Risk: Both Raya and Dúbravka are fully available with no injury news, making this factor neutral.
Form: Dúbravka has a slightly better recent form (3.8) compared to Raya (3.6), suggesting he's been picking up more points lately.
Fixtures: Raya has a favourable run with Nottingham Forest (A), Man Utd (H), and Leeds (A), all rated 3 difficulty. Dúbravka faces a tough trip to Liverpool (A, difficulty 4) next, followed by Spurs (H) and Sunderland (A). Raya clearly has the kinder schedule.
Value: Dúbravka is a fantastic budget option at 4.0m, offering 15.75 points per million. Raya is pricier at 5.9m with 14.58 PPM, but his higher overall points and clean sheets reflect his premium status.
Underlying Stats: Dúbravka boasts a higher ICT Index (60.2 vs 34.1) and Influence (600.2 vs 320.2), indicating he's making more saves. However, Raya's 10 clean sheets compared to Dúbravka's 3 highlight Arsenal's stronger defensive unit, which often translates to more FPL points for their keeper.

The Deciding Factor

The immediate fixture swing is the biggest differentiator; Raya faces a favourable away game against NFO, while Dúbravka is up against a high-flying Liverpool side away from home, making clean sheet prospects much higher for the Arsenal man.
