Minutes played

437

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.

Trend

→ Stable (0)

  • 2023-0.2 WAR · -1.53 per 3,000 min
  • 20240.1 WAR · 0.69 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, 2024

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).

PAL: dimensions

Shot stopping62
Distribution53
Claiming68
Sweeping9
Handling6

Where WAR comes from (in wins)

Shot stopping+0.09

Goals prevented given the quality of the shots on target he faced.

Claiming+0.01

Catching or punching crosses rather than leaving them in the box.

Fielding0.00

Collecting loose balls and low crosses (counted with handling in his ratings).

Distribution−0.01

Kicking and throwing: how his distribution changes his team's chances.

Sweeping−0.03

Coming off his line to cut out a ball in behind.

Handling−0.04

Holding the shot or parrying it without giving up a rebound.

Replacement adjustment+0.11

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.
