How this is counted
Counts starting goalkeepers in 493 MLS matches in the 2026 season, Feb 21, 2026 to Nov 2, 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. 32 keepers with 13 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.
