Great article. Rare to see such detailed analysis on goalkeepers. A couple of reflections from my side: first one is Matz Sels, quick look at FBref shows a PSxG-GA of +8% and clean sheet percentage of 34 %, suggesting that he overperformed quite a lot in 24/25 season compared to his average level from previous years? Donnarumma is another interesting case, as I remember him being benched halfway through the season - but once he got back in the starting 11, his been unstoppable (purely based on the eye haha). Would be interesting to see his stats before and after here. What do you think?

Thank you for the feedback!
Yes, Sels appears to have overperformed a lot.
