#3 Rui Patricio (Portugal, Wolverhampton Wanderers)
The Portuguese is another goalkeeper who took the Premier League by storm this season after joining Wolves last summer from Sporting CP. Patricio missed just one game in the entire Premier League season, against Cardiff in March this year, and has been stellar for his club between the sticks. The Portuguese might have conceded 44 goals, but he has given some defiant displays in the league, helping Wolves to memorable wins over Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, and managing a draw against Man City as well.
Patricio might be 31-year-old, but he still has cat-like reflexes and is very good at shot stopping. This season, he has managed seven clean sheets in the Premier League, same as Manchester United's David de Gea. He has made 92 saves and some of them have been excellent.
Wolves, who will finish seventh in the Premier League, also managed to reach the semi-finals of the FA Cup, thanks to his heroics. It has been a brilliant season for the club and Patricio has been integral to their good fortunes. The Portuguese now looks like a great piece of business and will certainly be one to look out for next season as well.
