When it comes to standing tall between the sticks, these 10 goalkeepers are making the difference in the Premier League this season. Goals Saved Above Expected (GSAx) isn’t just another stat—it’s the ultimate test of reflexes, positioning, and mental resilience. These keepers are defying the odds and putting up heroic performances week in and week out, turning what should have been goals into mere highlights for their own collection.

Topping the list, we’ve got a tie between Nick Pope of Newcastle and Mads Hermansen of Leicester, both with a stellar GSAx of +3.8. Pope has been an ever-reliable last line of defense for Newcastle, while Hermansen’s impressive start with Leicester has fans wondering if he’s the missing piece in their defensive puzzle. Close behind is Manchester United’s Andre Onana (+3.3), whose saves are not just about stopping goals but setting the tempo for United’s fast-paced play. Alisson (+2.5) and Dean Henderson (+2.4) round out the top five, with Liverpool and Crystal Palace benefiting from their quick reflexes and game-reading skills.
Further down the list, you’ll find Bournemouth’s Mark Travers and Neto both making an impact, proving that even in the thick of a relegation battle, there’s no shortage of world-class shot-stopping talent. Meanwhile, Ederson, who often has less work to do thanks to City’s dominance, still lands at eighth with +1.7, reminding everyone that he’s more than just a passing maestro. Spurs’ Guglielmo Vicario and West Ham’s Łukasz Fabiański complete the top 10, showcasing a wealth of experience and grit that’s keeping their teams competitive.
These numbers don’t just reflect individual brilliance; they reveal the mindset of keepers who thrive under pressure. With the season heating up, keep an eye on these shot-stoppers. The GSAx leaderboard might shift, but one thing’s for sure: these keepers are the reason their teams are staying in the fight.
