2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sels was one of the surprises in the Premier League during the 2024/25 season, taking a share of the Golden Glove. It was his first full season with the team after transferring from Strasbourg, not missing a minute, starting all 38 games. He secured 13 clean sheets, tying for first in the league with David Raya. Even better for fantasy purposes is that he made 120 saves and allowed just 46 goals. Nottingham Forest figure to have some kind of drop defensively, but the saves should be there for Sels, which could make him a top-five goalkeeper again.
Dealing with groin injury
Sels was forced off at halftime during Sunday's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace due to a groin injury, coach Sean Dyche said in a press conference, according to the Nottingham Post. "He's got what we think is a groin injury. He'll have a scan as soon as possible."
ANALYSIS
Sels was unable to play the second half of Sunday's draw against the Eagles after appearing to suffer a groin injury during the first half. The goalkeeper is set to undergo scans in the coming days and will be hoping the issue is minor, as he remains the undisputed starter between the posts for Nottingham Forest. If he is forced to miss time due to the setback, newcomer Stefan Ortega or Angus Gunn could be called upon against Leeds United on Friday.
