Impact The fact that Alisson will be ready for the start of the Premier League season is no doubt a bigger deal for fantasy players than if he was an option in the Community Shield. The keeper earned 20 clean sheets in 36 league appearances last campaign and should be capable of repeating that level of form in 2022-23.
