Goalkeeper saves — who is busiest between the posts
Saves is the one player market in the Ligue 1 bet builder that belongs to a single position, and it is driven less by the goalkeeper than by the match. A keeper cannot save what is not shot at, so the busiest figures on this table usually belong to the sides defending most.
How these numbers are built
Both numbers are counted, not estimated: saves per ninety minutes in goal, and the share of appearances in goal reaching each line. The ladder is 3+, 4+ and 5+, matching the lines the market registers — 1+ and 2+ land near 93% and 78% and separate nobody.

How to read them
A save is a defensive record dressed as an attacking one: a keeper behind a side that concedes chances will out-save a better goalkeeper behind a better defence. Read the table beside the opponent, not on its own.
Ligue 1 — how this market behaves
Over 46 Ligue 1 matches in 26/27, a goalkeeper recorded 3+ saves in 61.1% of the 95 goalkeeper appearances counted here. SharpXI models this market and grades it in public on the track record; the value verdict is withheld here, so this page is the record only.

Frequently asked
Does SharpXI publish a value verdict on saves?
Not on the screener or the market pages — saves is shown as a hit-rate record there. SharpXI does model the market, and its 3+, 4+ and 5+ calls are graded in public on the track record like every other, but the measured edge is slim enough that the record is the more honest thing to put in front of a reader.
Why does the ladder start at 3+ saves?
Because the shorter lines do not separate anyone. Across the record a starting goalkeeper clears 1+ saves in roughly nine matches in ten, so a 1+ line is close to a certainty and prices accordingly. 3+, 4+ and 5+ are the lines a bet builder actually offers and the ones the track record grades.
SharpXI is a statistical tool, not a betting operator, and no model guarantees a result. The honest scoreboard is closing-line value over a large sample. 18+ — please gamble responsibly.
