About the role

First-choice keeper

The #1 carries the team’s most consequential trust — distribution that starts the build-up, communication that organises the back line, and the last-touch save when nothing else has worked. Modern keepers must be comfortable in possession; "sweeper-keeper" risk decides whether the high line holds or breaks.
