Clean Sheets: 3

The Portuguese International joined Wolves from Sporting CP over the summer on a free transfer and has already made his mark at the Molineux. However, his start to the new season, in a new league and a new club was not easy. In his first 3 games, Patricio could not earn a clean sheet, but his smart shot stopping and goalkeeping prowess caught the eye, especially against Manchester City. The Portuguese got his first clean sheet against West Ham and his second immediately against Burnley. He was in good form against Manchester United also, even though they scored a goal to deny him his clean sheet. Patricio earned his 3rd clean sheet last weekend against Southampton, in a 2-0 win. He has made 25 saves so far, and has let in just 6 goals in 7 games. Interestingly, he has not registered a single punch or catch in the season so far, however, neither has he made any errors that caused a goal. For all his efforts, Rui Patricio ranks 4th in this list.
