Goalkeeper Ratings 2014

Updated through 6/12/14. These ratings are based only on a goalkeeper’s “saves ability,” as opposed to other skills such as distribution, cutting off crosses, leadership, grittiness. Keepers were measured by the differences and ratios of their goals allowed to their expected goals allowed, derived only from shots on frame. Below one can find all goalkeepers that have faced a shot on goal this season.
