The six in contention
Each keeper's case rests on minutes + opposition quality + team progression. Live ranking re-orders after every match.
Mike Maignan
France · AC Milan
France's first-choice. Tournament-favourites status means he'll face elite-quality chances — high reps to rack up saves.
Jordan Pickford
England · Everton
England's settled No.1. Save % ceiling depends on the back-five Tuchel settles on by MD1.
Unai Simón
Spain · Athletic Bilbao
Spain's build-out fulcrum. Less raw save volume than Maignan/Martínez but distribution rating is elite.
Alisson
Brazil · Liverpool
Brazil's rock. Liverpool form was a return to peak in late 25/26.
Yann Sommer
Switzerland · Inter Milan
The veteran sleeper. Group B exit-route depends on his shot-stopping vs Argentina/Switzerland-similar attacks.
