Top 10 Goalkeepers In The NPFL by cheapgoals(op): 10:39am On Apr 16, 2017
For as much consideration for attackers and midfielders get for their rich strikes and jolting goals, the genuine backbone of teams sits with the man securing the goal post. Goalkeeper often lost in the shuffle after transcendent triumphs and devastating loss, the goalkeepers are arguably the most imperative figure on the pitch, yet they are often the most undervalued.

Looking at the goalkeeping issue in the Super Eagle’s team recently, we look at some top Goalkeepers in NPFL who could still do a decent job for the Eagles if called upon. In no particular order, Cheapgoals.com look at the top ten goalkeepers

10. Danladi Isah – Kano pillars

The journeyman goalkeeper has played for several clubs in the NPFL including 3sc and Plateau united. He is one of the much-respected goalkeepers in the league with plenty of league experience.

9. Itodo Akor – Rangers

A consistent face in the title-winning team last season. However, he has been in and out of the Rangers team this season due to hot competition from Ghanaian goalkeeper, Nana Bonsu.

8. Egbe Ospino- MFM FC

The team of the moment has a good strike force that has been scoring goals but they also have a safe hand in Ospino Egbe who has been In great form so far this season. He has displayed some breath-taking performances so far.

7. Emeka Nwabulu – Wikki tourist

His side may be in the relegation battle but Nwabulu’s quality is undisputed having helped the team to a continental place last season.
The young goalkeeper has been nominated for the league bloggers award for the month of March and is one to look out for in the future.

6. Olorunleke ojo – Sunshine Stars

Just like Emeka, Ojo is one for the future, the former flying Eagles goalkeeper is the first choice for the Owena Whales. The 22-year-old goalkeeper saved 2 penalties in a match day 15 encounter against Niger tornadoes in Lokoja but it wasn’t enough as stars lost 2-1, he has 5 clean sheets already this season.

Re: Top 10 Goalkeepers In The NPFL by cheapgoals(op): 10:46am On Apr 16, 2017

Re: Top 10 Goalkeepers In The NPFL by cheapgoals(op): 10:48am On Apr 16, 2017
3. Femi Thomas – Kano Pillars

The shots stopper moved from Enyimba to Pillars at the end of last season having won the league with the Aba giants in 2015 with 13 clean sheets.

He also impressed with the team in the 2016 league season thereby winning a spot in the Nigerian team list to the 2016 CHAN in Rwanda. He contends with Danladi Isah for the sole place between the sticks for Pillars

Re: Top 10 Goalkeepers In The NPFL by cheapgoals(op): 10:49am On Apr 16, 2017
2. Theophilus Afelokhai – Enyimba

You can’t be bad and still be Enyimba’s no 1 goalkeeper. Afelokhai has been contending with Ghanaian international, Fatau Dauda for the Goalkeeping spot and also keeping 6 Cleen sheets in the process. It is however unfortunate that he hasn’t garnered much international attention as he consistently post consistent performances for the People’s Elephants.

Re: Top 10 Goalkeepers In The NPFL by cheapgoals(op): 10:50am On Apr 16, 2017
1. Ikechukwu Ezenwa – FC Ifeanyi Ubah

The super eagles second choice goalkeeper and also a former youth international hasn’t had it easy in the team this season only featuring in the CAF Confederations Cup and only periodically in the league.

That doesn’t dIminish is quality as a shot stopper, he led the NPFL all star team to a pre season friendly In Spain where he was close to joining Cadiz and generated interests from some LaLiga teams while he is also a regular in the home based Eagles team.

Based on what stats? Saves? Attack initiated? What exactly or you pulled this out of a dark place?
Re: Top 10 Goalkeepers In The NPFL by bonna4u(m):
How many teams do we have in the NPFL? We have 20 teams and the few matches I had the privilege to watch showcased in most instances what I call goal tippers(not keepers), though I have seen a few goal keepers that make me proud. The good ones are very few.
I think list should be half of the goal keepers that turnout regularly for their NPFL teams.

How could Dele Ajiboye be 30? Dude should be 25/26yrs or at most 27years.
He played and won under 17 world cup in 2007 under Yemi Tella.

What about George of Elkanemi with more five clean sheets,undisputed number One of his team.
Pillars first choice now is Nafiu not some Danladi Isah.
