What Is A Clean Sheet Percentage Calculator?
A clean sheet is a match in which a team does not concede a goal. Clean sheet percentage shows how often that happens, and it is one of the most quoted numbers for goalkeepers, defenders and whole defenses.
The GlobeHour Clean Sheet Percentage Calculator turns appearances and clean sheets into a clear percentage, then adds the stats that give it context: games per clean sheet, goals conceded per game and per 90 minutes, minutes per goal conceded, save percentage for goalkeepers, a season projection and the clean sheets needed to reach a target.
Clean Sheet Formulas
Example: 38 matches, 15 clean sheets, 42 goals conceded, 3,420 minutes and 110 saves.
| Measure | Formula | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Clean Sheet % | Clean sheets ÷ matches × 100 | 15 ÷ 38 = 39.5% |
| Games Per Clean Sheet | Matches ÷ clean sheets | 38 ÷ 15 = 2.53 |
| Goals Conceded Per Game | Goals conceded ÷ matches | 42 ÷ 38 = 1.11 |
| Goals Conceded Per 90 | Goals conceded ÷ (minutes ÷ 90) | 42 ÷ 38 = 1.11 |
| Minutes Per Goal Conceded | Minutes ÷ goals conceded | 3,420 ÷ 42 = 81 |
| Save % | Saves ÷ (saves + goals conceded) × 100 | 110 ÷ 152 = 72.4% |
| Season Projection | Clean sheet % × matches in a season | 39.5% × 38 = 15.0 |
Save percentage here uses goals conceded as the shots that beat the goalkeeper. Official data may exclude own goals, so small differences are normal.
What Counts As A Clean Sheet?
For a team, a clean sheet simply means conceding no goals in a match. For individual players, the rules depend on who is counting:
- Goalkeepers and defenders are usually credited when the team does not concede while they are on the pitch.
- Fantasy Premier League only awards clean sheet points to players who play at least 60 minutes.
- Substitutes who come on late may or may not be credited, depending on the data source.
- Penalty shootouts are not usually counted as goals conceded, because the match result is decided before them.
When comparing players, check that your numbers come from the same source so the same rules apply.
The Premier League Golden Glove
The Premier League Golden Glove is awarded to the goalkeeper with the most clean sheets in a season. It was first awarded in 2005 to Chelsea’s Petr Čech for the 2004–05 season, when he kept 24 clean sheets, which is still the single-season record.
Čech and Joe Hart have each won the Golden Glove four times, the most of any goalkeeper. Enter a goalkeeper’s record in the calculator to see how their season projection compares with the 24 clean sheet record.
Clean Sheets In Fantasy Football
In Fantasy Premier League, a clean sheet is worth 4 points for a goalkeeper or defender and 1 point for a midfielder, as long as they play at least 60 minutes. That makes clean sheet percentage one of the best ways to pick defenders and goalkeepers.
The calculator shows the fantasy clean sheet points a goalkeeper or defender would have earned. For a full points breakdown, including saves and defensive contributions, use the GlobeHour Fantasy Football Calculator.
How To Compare Goalkeepers Fairly
- Clean sheets depend on the whole defense, not only the goalkeeper.
- Use save % to judge a goalkeeper’s shot stopping.
- Use goals conceded per 90 when minutes differ a lot.
- Treat records under 10 matches with care.
- Compare players in similar teams and leagues.
- Check that all numbers come from the same data source.
- Look at several seasons, not just one.
- Remember that a strong team usually faces fewer shots.
