Top Penalty Killers

Al-Habsi > Sommer.

Yann Sommer is younger, has more time ahead of him to become even better and of course he's much more handsome

(LOL, I already moves my discussion with vlafy about Yann Sommer into the Swiss GK appreciation thread, we can always continue there )

Al-Habsi is ageless. He can continue playing well into his 40's imo

Al Habsi is moving downwards, though.- No penalty saved in all of 2012:

2012 isn't over yet and he wasn't playing in the summer lol

See. As of now, Sommer > Al Habsi

(Plus Yann Sommer is always way better looking, too )

That chart shows who's penalties he saved?

Al-Goatsi saved a pen today

Updated the stats in the first post of the thread. Added two GKs: Fabian Giefer of Fortuna Düsseldorf and Jean-François Gillet of FC Torino.

de gea in MU
hannadovic to Inter

So. Updated the list with the pens/saves from the CL+EL group stage matches.

Diego

And another missed penalty gave Marc-André ter Stegen a neat boost Data updated with the midweek matches.

So, the next update is online in the first post of this thread. This week there weren't too many penalties, it seems.

Sign him up, Wenger

Data from transfermarkt.de - current as of 2012/12/30 (this doesn't contain penalty shootouts and friendlies, btw)

Data updated in the first post of the thread. Added Mattia Perin and Diego López.

Al Habsi what a beast

Okay, I decided it was time for a fresh update:

Here you go - all penalties in these stats were saved during normal play, so penalty shoot-outs aren't considered here. These stats are from all competitive matches the guys played and transfermarkt.de dug out and not just from one club or so so.

BTW, if one would go for only the last club a player played for, then Yann Sommer would be at 52% saved penalties of all PKs attempted against him since he became Basel's number 1 (Source: http://www.fcb.ch/news/show/byItemID/de-de/10044/30166/26/7/7 )

Diego Alves - 50.00% saved penalties (12/24) - FC Valencia, Brazil
Kenneth Vermeer - 50.00% (8/16) - Ajax Amsterdam, Netherlands

Samir Handanovic - 40.00% (24/60) - Inter Milan, Slovenia

Gotta say, I am a bit disappointed by Courtois' stats there. He'll improve over time I imagine but 2/13 is not very good.

Well, originally I only wanted to list players who faced at least 20 penalties in competitive matches, but I thought before people start asking "Where is XY?", I added some better known players with less pens in the beginning of the list, too.

By now most of these added to their stats, so Thibaut Courtois will certainly follow suit, too. Moreover, just imagine he'd save the next pen, then he'd have saved 3 of 14, which immediately would look much better again.

By the way, keepers who surprised me with their stats were for example Edwin van der Sar, Hugo Lloris, Maarten Stekelenburg and Mark Schwarzer.
