Given the fact that 4 of the 5 keepers who ranked top in their respective divisions played for sides who will be playing Champions League football next season, and 3 of the previous 4 lowest performers played for teams who were either relegated or in a scrap at the bottom, Victor Valdes' inclusion in the latter cluster is perhaps the most alarming. Facing only 91 shots on target over the season, Valdes saved just 60 (66%) ranking him bottom of La Liga's keepers to appear in at least half of the league matches,

I hope it is not trying to imply what i think it is trying to imply. If it is, then it is the stupidest thing i have read in a while.

If it's implying that Valdes is overrated then it is 100% correct.

by Le Samourai Sun May 27, 2012 1:01 pm

It's a stat, an inanimate piece of data plucked from thousands of it's kind.I don't think it knows how to go about the process of implying.

Valdes made two types of history though, first keeper to win the Zamora while having the lowest save percentage in the league.

Here's the article where it talks about Valdes' low save percentage:

Btw, Buffon has the highest save percentage in Europe, Stekelenburg has the lowest in Italy.

Guys, stats mean nothing, Valdes won the bobby Zamora trophy after all :I'munoriginal:

Hilarious how you guys forget to mention Valdes had the best percentages over the past two seasons.

That source isn't up to date at all.

Look at the number of games played. Each GK has a maximum of 17, 18 or 19 games. These stats were taken halfway through the season.

You want the full-season statistics for Valdes, look at this. (He has the lowest save percentage in league games in La Liga)

According to Whoscored.... Al-Habsi is 6.58 and Krul is 6.66 :coffee:

The question has finally been answered banana

Sooo....

He can go from best to worst and still win the Zamora?

Clearly a difference maker :bow:
