How do you define the 10 best Brazilian goalkeepers of the moment?

The criteria used* for this text will be a combination of the following:

Number of goals conceded

The goalkeeper with the lowest number of goals conceded is an important indicator for defining the 10 best Brazilian goalkeepers.

Number of decisive saves

Another important topic for analysis is the number of times this goalkeeper has been decisive for his team, making saves that have prevented defeats and eliminations.

Longer without conceding

This qualifier refers to minutes played x goals conceded. It is also indispensable for listing the best Brazilian goalkeepers in activity.

*As we’re talking about professionals who play both here and abroad, we’ll take into account, for those who play abroad: the most important championships in which they currently play. For those playing in Brazil: the 2023 Brasileirão and the 2024 state championships.
