Leads England between posts
Pickford has been named in England's World Cup squad and is expected to retain his status as coach Thomas Tuchel's first-choice goalkeeper throughout the competition.
Analysis: Pickford ended the season having started all 38 Premier League matches for Everton, recording 11 clean sheets from 100 saves and overperforming his expected goals on target against by 3.9 in what has been another commanding individual campaign. The keeper brings a wealth of experience and big-game composure that has made him England's undisputed first choice for several years, and his ability to organise the defense and produce crucial saves in pressure moments makes him a trusted figure for manager Tuchel heading into the competition. Pickford heads into the World Cup as the undisputed leader between England's posts and the goalkeeper the squad will count on from the first whistle of their opener against Croatia on June 17.
Concedes once in season finale
Pickford made one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Pickford conceded one goal Sunday, a Joao Palhinha strike in the 43rd minute which barely got over the line. It broke a six-match streak where he conceded multiple goals, so this was a bit of an improvement for Pickford and the Everton defense. He started all 38 matches in his third straight season, conceding 50 goals, making 100 saves and keeping 11 clean sheets. Next up for him is the World Cup with England where he's expected to start for one of the favorites to win the tournament.
