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.
