This weekend, Benjamin Lecomte (MHSC) became the first goalkeeper to save a penalty this season in Ligue 1 Uber Eats, out of the eight glovesmen who tried. With the league averaging 3.15 goals per game after three rounds, the 20 goalkeepers who have been used so far have nad an unusually high amount of work to do. Take a look at some of the best performers at the start of the 2023-24 season.
