As of 2018 season, there were 106 keepers who had played 50 games or more in the prem.

Clean sheets as a percentage has a few Everton-connected players in the top 20:

#20 Thomas Myhre (33/93)
#15 Nigel Martyn (137/372)
#9 Bobby Mimms (24/61)

Any guess on who's at #98?

Ranked! The (genuinely surprising) top 20 Premier League goalkeepers by their clean sheet ratio

Every keeper who’s played 50+ games went into the brain of Huw Davies – and now we know the Premier League's meanest clean-sheet machines, from genuine legends to Fergie’s “terrible professional”
