Here are the top defense prospects to own in your points-only keeper leagues – October (yeah yeah, I know) edition!
The Goalie Post app is FREE, and it includes my own formula for each starter’s odds of winning. It also projects saves for each goalie based on recent performance of the goalie, his team and the opposition! Get it on iOS here or Android here.
As always, prospects with a rating within +/-5.0 of each other should be considered equal value.
