How to exclude characters from a print if value is not greater than 0 or blank

Question

I'm working on a program with PySimpleGui that will copy a finished and refined result list to my clipboard when I press the copy button. So far, it's looking good, but when I copy it, I don't want to include the characters G(Goal), A(Assist) and O.G(Own Goal) if the value is not greater than 0 (If the boxes in the program is blank in other words). Right now, when you run this code under, and you Copy it, you will get [G] [A] [O.G] besides the TEAM1 positions GK, CDM, MID and ST. I haven't yet done TEAM2. Will finish it when I have figured this out.

So what I want from this, is some tips on what I should do, to not include these characters. I'm figuring I need to probably make some definitions with some if and else statements, but it might be a little complicated, considering I only am 3-4 months into Python.

Can someone help me?

(im new to python so please dislike if not helpful) why don't you use '>'

'>' means that the value on the left is higher than the one on the right.

example

new_list = [] 
for item in list:
  if item > 0:
    new_list.append(item)

You just need to check the user inputs before copying them.

First you need to retrieve the value. For example:

input_data = values['homegk_g']

Then you need to check its value, If it is equal to an empty string or not (which means the user has entered something or not) as below:

if input_data != "":
    # rest of the script

The other way of checking that the user has entered some data is by comparing the len() of InputText to 0 as below:

if len(input_data) > 0:
    # rest of the script

Now if I want to show a sample of your script with user input checking it will be like this:

if event == "Copy":

    # copy this for other desired fields. 
    input_data_hm_gk_g = values['homegk_g']
    input_data_hm_gk_a = values['homegk_a']
    input_data_hm_gk_og = values['homegk_og']
    if len(input_data_hm_gk) > 0 and len(input_data_hm_gk_a) > 0 and 
                                        len(input_data_hm_gk_og) > 0:


        pyperclip.copy(f"""
        =-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
        {'TEAM1'} {values['TEAM1_Score']}-{values['TEAM2_Score']} {'TEAM2'}

        {'TEAM1'}

        GK: {values['HomeGK']} [{values['homegk_g']}]G [{values['homegk_a']}A] 
        [{values['homegk_og']}O.G]
        CDM: {values['HomeCDM']} [{values['homecdm_g']}G] 
        [{values['homecdm_a']}A] 
        [{values['homecdm_og']}O.G]
        MID: {values['HomeMID']} [{values['homemid_g']}G] 
        [{values['homemid_a']}A] 
        [{values['homemid_og']}O.G]
        ST:{values['HomeST']} [{values['homest_g']}G] [{values['homest_a']}A] 
        [{values['homest_og']}O.G]

        SUBS:
        {values['home_subs']}

        {'TEAM2'}

        GK: {values['AwayGK']}
        CDM: {values['AwayCDM']}
        MID: {values['AwayMID']}
        ST: {values['AwayST']}

        SUBS:
        {values['away_subs']}
        =-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
        """)

You have so many input fields to check so I recommend you to code an individual function that checks if all input fields have been filled or not. You can simply do this by iterating on values and those condition checks I have told you above.
