Goalkeepers

In general, the three keepers came in a sequence we all wanted: Karius THEN Mignolet (then Manninger, of course.)

Loris Karius /// CONFIRMED rating: 82 /// RTK’s PREDICTED rating: 81

We weren’t far off, but we love that FIFA rates Karius this highly. Our Sweet Prince should stand to only improve as he’s just 22 years young.

The confirmation came just one day after Karius was finally able to make his Liverpool debut, a shutout in their 3-0 League Cup win against Derby County. Klopp has said that there’s ‘no no. 1’, which doesn’t bode well for Mignolet.

He’s coming for you, Simon.

Simon Mignolet /// CONFIRMED rating: 78 /// RTK’S PREDICTED rating: 76

FIFA was never going to dump Mignolet so far, after being a 78 last season, but he deserved it.

We’re fine with a settling with a higher Karius than a lower Mignolet, though.

Alex Manninger /// CONFIRMED rating: 73 /// RTK’S PREDICTED rating: 69

I suppose we severely underrated Manninger. Apologies Uncle Alex.
