This study aims to establish quantitative indicators of the number of saves performed by high-skilled football players. Materials, participants, and methods: the research was conducted from January 2024 to April 2024. The registration of technical-tactical actions (goalkeeper saves) was based on games involving teams from the English Premier League (EPL) during the 2023/2024 season. Ten games from this tournament were registered and analyzed. The study applied the following methods: analysis of scientific-methodological literature, pedagogical observations, and mathematical statistics methods. Results: the results of the study indicate that in the games of the English championship season 2023/2024, when facing shots towards their own goal, the number of defenders positioned below the ball line at the moment of the shot ranged from 0 to 10, with a mean value of 4,7±0,2. The number of defenders positioned below the ball line and within the goal area at the moment of the shot ranged from 0 to 7, with a mean value of 2,1±0,1. The number of players who actively performed saves on goal ranged from 0 to 3, with a mean value of 1,0±0,1. Additionally, the study revealed a strong positive correlation between the number of players below the ball line at the moment of the shot and the number of players below the ball line and within the goal area. A moderate positive correlation was found between the number of players actively performing saves on goal, the number of players below the ball line and the number of players within the goal area. Conclusions: the study found that with an increase in shot distance, the number of defenders positioned below the ball line, within the goal area, and actively blocking shots on goal increases. It was established that with an increase in the number of players actively resisting shots on goal, the likelihood of blocking a shot significantly increases while the likelihood of conceding a goal in their net decreases. A strong positive correlation was found between the number of players below the ball line and the number of players within the goal area, and a moderate positive correlation was found between the number of players actively blocking shots on goal and the number of players below the ball line as well as the number of players within the goal area.
