The pace of the last three seasons (WAR per minute, 60/25/15), pulled toward the group average as if 1,000 more minutes, over the minutes expected from the last two seasons, adjusted for age. Method chosen by backtest (2023 to 2026): mean error of 0.24 wins.

- 20250.9 WAR · 1.32 per 3,000 min
- 2026-0.5 WAR · -0.58 per 3,000 min
The trend compares this season's WAR per 3,000 minutes with last season's (at least 500 minutes each), weighted by playing time. For goalkeepers, goals added swing a lot from season to season: read a strong trend with caution.

WAR and PAL Rating, 2026
How we rate →WAR: the goals added (g+) of each of his actions, above replacement level (the per-minute output of his group's fringe players), converted to standings points (0.64 points per goal), then to wins (3 points = one win). PAL Rating scores performance from 0 to 100 against regulars in the same group (50 = median).

Where WAR comes from (in wins)
Coming off his line to cut out a ball in behind.
Collecting loose balls and low crosses (counted with handling in his ratings).
Catching or punching crosses rather than leaving them in the box.
Holding the shot or parrying it without giving up a rebound.
Kicking and throwing: how his distribution changes his team's chances.
Goals prevented given the quality of the shots on target he faced.
The parts above are measured against the position average. This adjustment moves the baseline to a fringe player in his group, prorated by minutes: positive when fringe players do worse than average, negative when they do better.
Shot stopping drives almost all of a goalkeeper's WAR, and it swings a lot from season to season: one season says less than it does for an outfield player.
