Friedel is a hulking keeper who has managed to claw his way up the ladder to become the American number one, passing the equally talented Kasey Keller. A superb netminder, Friedel's strengths are his distribution of the ball and his management of the backfield. Enjoyed as good a season as any keeper in English Premier League.

STRENGTHS: Solid shot-blocker, good organizer.

WEAKNESSES: If he has any, it would be in comparison to Keller; Keller is considered the better reactor to the run of play.
