Egil Selvik
B29
Allows two goals in loss
Selvik made no saves and allowed two goals in Friday's 2-1 loss against Nice.
Analysis: Selvik had little to do in Friday's 2-1 loss to Nice, but the two efforts he faced on target both beat him without much chance for him to intervene. The goalkeeper has not conceded more than two in any league outing, though he is still looking for his first shutout in a Brest shirt. The Norwegian has 21 saves and 12 goals conceded in eight starts, and the derby at Lorient on Saturday offers him another chance to keep one.
Makes four saves in draw
Selvik had four saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Lille.
Analysis: Selvik made four saves while allowing one goal during Saturday's 1-1 draw at Lille, helping Brest secure a point despite spending much of the match defending their early advantage. He was beaten by Olivier Giroud's powerful penalty in the 64th minute but responded with an important save on Nabil Bentaleb's free kick seven minutes later before producing a crucial stop to deny Tanguy Nianzou's close-range header in stoppage time. Selvik's late interventions proved decisive as Brest held on for a draw after coming under increasing pressure throughout the second half. Selvik will look to build on that decent performance in Friday's clash against Nice.
Concedes one in win
Selvik made two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 5-1 victory against Angers.
Analysis: Selvik had a comfortable afternoon as Brest's dominant performance limited Angers to just three shots faced, with the goal he conceded coming from a well-delivered cross from Joseph Kalulu that Prosper Peter headed home, leaving him with little chance. His 65.4 save percentage across six matches this season is a concern, though 27 shots faced in that stretch reflects a defense that has left him exposed at times rather than poor individual performances. His next fixture against Lille, who sit second in the standings, will be a significant step up and one where clean sheet upside looks limited.
Makes three saves in loss
Selvik recorded three saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss against AJ Auxerre.
Analysis: Selvik made three or more saves for the fourth time in five starts, but it wasn't enough to avoid the road loss. The goalkeeper has no clean sheets over that span. He will now look to bounce back against Angers on Saturday.
Makes six saves
Selvik made six saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain.
Analysis: Selvik was beaten by Ferran Torres just five minutes into the contest but responded with six saves to keep Brest within one goal for the remainder of the match. His interventions gave the hosts an opportunity to chase an equalizer until the final whistle, though Matvey Safonov repeatedly denied them at the other end. Selvik has made 12 saves while conceding six goals without a clean sheet through four Ligue 1 appearances this season. He'll next face Auxerre in league play.
Makes three saves in win
Selvik made three saves and conceded one goal during Saturday's 2-1 win over Le Havre.
Analysis: Selvik made some big interventions and looked on his way to keep the first clean sheet of the season but then he saw Rayan Fofana beating him from the penalty spot to score the consolation goal for the opposition. Still, this can be seen as progress for the goalkeeper, who allowed multiple goals in both of his previous starts.
Makes zero saves in draw
Selvik recorded no saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Toulouse.
Analysis: Selvik conceded in both shots he faced during the home draw and made no saves for the first time. He has no clean sheets after two starts in Ligue 1 play. The goalkeeper will now look to bounce back at Le Havre on Saturday.
Makes three saves in draw
Selvik had three saves and allowed two goals in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Le Mans.
Analysis: Selvik made three saves and two clearances during Brest's season debut. The goalkeeper logged his first start for the new club since transferring from Watford in July. He will now look to bounce back against Toulouse on Saturday.
Loaned to Brest
Selvik has been loaned to Brest from Watford, according to his new club.
Analysis: Selvik is on the move and leaving England for the season, as the goalie will instead serve in France with Brest. The 29-year-old was the starter in net for Watford last season, recording 114 saves, 56 goals allowed and seven clean sheets in his 40 appearances. He will likely settle into a bench spot with his new club, mainly being used in Cup matches behind Gregoire Coudert.
Beaten four times Friday
Selvik registered five saves and allowed four goals in Friday's 4-1 defeat against France.
Analysis: Selvik gave up three goals in the first half, all courtesy of Ousmane Dembele, and a fourth one in the dying stages of the contest when he couldn't parry Desire Doue's header. Selvik got the start since Norway decided to rotate pretty much the entire XI, so expect Orjan Nyland to return to the starting lineup for the Round of 32 match against Ivory Coast on June 30.
