02 // Global Goalkeeper Index — Composite Ranking
Composite score blends save percentage, clean sheet rate, goals prevented per 90,
goals conceded per 90 (lower is better), saves per 90, distribution (accurate passes, pass accuracy, long
balls) and average match rating. Craft (success rates and average match rating, regressed towards the cohort average so a small sample can't post an extreme rate) is blended with Output (per-90 volumes, shrunk for minutes played), leaning towards whichever side is elite.

04 // Distribution — Passing & Long Balls
Ranked by accurate passes per 90, with long balls per 90 alongside —
the badge on the right is each keeper's raw pass completion rate. Modern goalkeeping leans heavily on
composure and range with the ball at feet, not just shot-stopping.

05 // Goals Conceded per 90
Goals conceded per 90 is a blunt instrument — it's shaped as much by the defence in front of a
keeper as by the keeper themselves — but paired with save percentage and goals prevented it's a useful
cross-check on overall defensive solidity. Best (lowest) sits at the top.
