19 clean sheets in 37 appearances (51% of games). Playing behind a title-challenging side (1st of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 97.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 100/100).

Watch points

  • Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.

Outlook

With a Rating of 59.5, Raya carries the 12th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the Premier League of 26. A near ever-present keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
