"Now, no doubt there are individual metrics like save percentage, clean sheets, pass completion...the ratio of post-shot xG to shots-on-target...as well as the subjective eye test that goes into ratings like this. But for how Bayern plays, indeed how Neuer enables Bayern to play the way they do, you would be hard-pressed to find many Bayern fans who would prefer any of the other names on this list."
Kicker's midseason goalkeeper ratings place Gregor Kobel, Péter Gulácsi, and Oliver Baumann among the top performers, with Manuel Neuer ranked eighth in the third tier. The full list also includes Kamil Grabara, Marvin Schwäbe, Robin Zentner, Nikola Vasilj, and Daniel Heuer Fernandes. The ratings combine objective metrics such as save percentage, clean sheets, pass completion, and post-shot xG versus shots-on-target with subjective observation. The World-class category is not represented among these midseason grades. Many Bayern supporters still view Neuer as integral to Bayern's style despite his lower placement in these ratings.
