How this is counted
Counts starting goalkeepers in 156 EFL Championship matches in the 2026-27 season, Aug 14, 2026 to Oct 31, 2026. A rung is the share of starts strictly over the line. Shots on target faced is saves plus goals conceded, so it includes penalties and own goals. Save % is saves divided by that total. "vs line" is over the posted main saves line out of games with one. 25 keepers with 5 or more starts are shown. Forced saves come from the opposing keeper's team stats for each match. Only matches with full Opta coverage in OpticOdds are counted, so a match with missing stats never reads as zeros.
