Top 10 Goalkeepers for Fantasy Brasileiro Campeonato Football in 2025
10. Rafael Pires (São Paulo)
Rafael Pires wasn’t bad last season. Neither was Sao Paulo. But there was little to celebrate either. The team finished in 6th place and registered a few memorable results across 2024.
Still, you get the feeling that both the 35-year-old and the club could do more this season. As a fantasy football manager, would you opt to pick him?
9. Sergio Rochet (Internacional)
Sergio Rochet was surprisingly effective in 2024, as was Internacional, the club that ended the league in fifth position.
The Uruguayan goalie is a master of stopping saves and coming out of his box to defend against marauding attackers. He also has good reflexes, and this may well be another good season for Rochet.
8. Agustín Rossi (Flamengo)
Flamengo hasn’t won a trophy since the 2022 Copa Libertadores win. That’s quite a bit of time for one of South America’s most prestigious clubs.
At least, Agustín Rossi, Flamengo’s goalkeeper, seems up to the task. With a strong set of defenders ahead of him, Rossi can be a safe pick for your fantasy Brasileiro football team as Flamengo go chasing the title.
7. Fábio (Fluminense)
If there was one thing that worked well for Fluminense across the 2024 season, it was the defence. Fábio had a really good season, helping his team to be the fourth-best team in the league for conceded goals.
By contrast, Fluminense ended the campaign in 13th place. That should tell you plenty about whether you should choose the player.
6. Cassio Ramos (Cruzeiro)
Cassio Ramos is a legend of football and of fantasy sports. Many FootballCoin managers have picked him in the past and have been happy with their decision.
Cassio is a highly experienced, dependable keeper. He rarely makes mistakes. And he has one of the best long passes in the game.
It’s unlikely that Cruzeiro will challenge for any silverware. Regardless, Cassio can be a very important player for your fantasy soccer team.
5. Léo Jardim (Vasco da Gama)
Léo Jardim is another goalkeeper that will be familiar to fans of FootballCoin. Since the Campeonato was introduced in the game, Jardim has consistently been one of the best keepers in the league.
Vasco da Game was a disappointingly average team last season. Still, Jardim remains a goalie of great potential who can still turbo-charge his career. Is it worth taking a risk? You’ll have to decide.
4. Hugo Souza (Corinthians)
Hugo Souza was a winter signing but quickly adapted to being the starting keeper of the legendary Corinthians. Souza was a top-10 keeper for saves and seemed to justify the transfer’s hefty price tag through his quick reflexes.
Souza has proved that he can be Corinthians’ saviour. But be warned, this exceptional talent can also be inconsistent, as he showed when he played for Flamengo. It’s up to you to make a choice.
3. Wéverton (Palmeiras)
Wéverton is one of the most important goalkeepers in Brazilian football. He is arguably the number-one choice for the country’s most in-form team, Palmeiras. And at 37 years of age, few players in the Campeonato can claim to have more first-hand experience at the top.
Wéverton is a safe choice for your fantasy cartola team. But the most obvious pick could also turn out to be the most reasonable. The player is certainly worth considering!
2. John Victor (Botafogo)
John‘s performances helped Botafogo beat the odds and win the much-coveted title. With this kind of success in the Brasileirão, it’s no wonder that the champs want to carry on doing much of the same.
John Victor will be an essential part of the Botafogo setup. Last season, he had the best save percentage of any keeper, as well as 47% clean sheets. John is, without doubt, one of the first keepers to consider for your fantasy football team.
1. João Ricardo Riedi (Fortaleza)
João Ricardo Riedi was the best goalkeeper in 2024’s Campeonato! Sure, that may be a controversial statement for some. But I feel that the stats back me up.
Riedi had the second-best save percentage rate in the league, 82.6%. He enjoyed 34% clean sheets. Riedi is a good long-range passer. Furthermore, Fortaleza performed very well last season and has added players like David Luiz to their squad.
Certainly, Riedi is one of the goalkeepers that you need to scout carefully for your fantasy Campeonato Serie A football team.
