re: New Best EPL Goalkeeper

After reviewing the statistics of all of the keepers who have played max minutes so far this season, Begovic is towards the bottom of the group statistically speaking. EPLindex (a subscription based statistics site) used to show a breakdown of where all the saves were made, and a percentage breakdown of where the shots came from on the field. I can't find that option now.
Begovic's saves/minute is almost the worst of the group which leads me to believe that Stoke's defense forces a lot of poor shots. The shots on target he faces in relation to the total shots he faces must be low.

I was right.

Oh, I was thinking he was saving shots on goal. Saving shots is somewhat irrelevant because I could have a sick save percentage if they are all Sergio Ramos/Neymar PK attempts.

Could you link where on the EPLindex site where you saw the stats for the keepers? I believe what you're saying I would just like to look at it as well for future references.
I found this article on the EPLindex site just by searching Begovic.
Top EPL Keeper Comparison
It covers alot of what we've been discussing. His conclusion at the end of the article:

The original question posed at the beginning of the article; is Asmir Begovic the best goalkeeper in the Premier League? Is he even one of the best? I believe that over the last twelve months Begovic has not only cemented his place in the Stoke line-up, but also amongst the top three goalkeepers in the Premier League along with Joe Hart and Petr Cech. Why else would he be targeted by the country’s top clubs?
