It looks at the quality of chance and over a period of time, you can assess how many goals each keeper has prevented based on that and based on the quality of shots they faced.
So for that guy to come way out in front of the Premier League this season, he saved almost 10 goals more than would be expected.
Whereas Alisson's actually learned slightly more than would have been expected given the shots faced.
You often then get asked to try and put that into context.
What does it mean for Palace?
And if you look at a lot of analytical studies or books such as the numbers game, there's often passages in that kind of thing looking at what exactly one goal means to a side in terms of points.
And over time,
over a long period of time will often equate to roughly one Premier League point.
So, for example, last season there were 1,072 goals scored and 1,069 points.
And while it's very, very, very far from any kind of exact science, with Leicester saving 10 goals more than he would have been expected, had he been average or below average, conceding four or five goals more by that model, you could certainly argue Palace would have a lot fewer points.
Yeah, absolutely.
Sorry, Matt.
I was just going to say as well, he was absolutely on fire just before the Premier League halted as well.
It was another three 1-0 wins Palace reeled off in a row.
He'd gone four and a half hours since last conceding and saved 15 shots on target in a row.
So yeah, it kind of broke off at the wrong time for him.
The only thing with goalkeepers, it's always such a small sample size of work.
So even a full season's barely enough to form detailed analysis, really.
I think I remember hearing something about how Liverpool signed Mignolet initially because he'd been top of that kind of ranking.
And then the next couple of seasons, he was rock bottom of those kind of things.
