The idea of ​​goalkeepers as mere shot stoppers is a concept that has gone out of fashion and football is currently blessed with a number of versatile number ones.
In fact, most of those who enter the virtual world of EA FC 25 are not too concerned about a goalkeeper’s ability to play with the ball at his feet. For the players, this supposedly antiquated goaltending ideal of stopping shots is very important.
EA Sports takes various aspects of goalkeeping such as diving, handling, kicking and reflexes into account when determining a goalkeeper’s overall rating and you won’t be short of elite options when farming the your Ultimate Team.
These are the highest rated goalkeepers EA FC 25.
Liverpool He may have recently exposed a fragility in play, but there’s no denying Mike Maignan’s status as one of the best in the world at what he does.
Cultivated in possession and with cat-like reflexes, the Frenchman usually steers clear of mistakes. Many Milan fans would argue that they upgraded Gianluigi Donnarumma after Maignan’s brilliance became apparent and he is now France’s number one following the retirement of Hugo Lloris.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s ‘stans’ have Emiliano Martinez to thank for ruining the tedious GOAT debate. Lionel Messi’s World Cup triumph would probably never have happened if not for Aston Villa guardian heroism.
An Argentine national hero with a bit of a crazy streak, MartÃnez’s rise from Arsenal’s elimination to first firing has been nothing short of remarkable.
A stellar 2023/24 campaign with Aston Villa means Martinez has earned a +2 upgrade to EA FC 25 and his card is impressively well balanced.
Gregor Kobel was already considered by EA as one of the best in the world last year, but the Swiss international’s role in Borussia DortmundThe trip to the Champions League final means he has been rewarded with another upgrade.
Kobel starts EA FC 25 with a card of 88 points, which means that he has finally usurped Manuel Neuer as the best goalkeeper in the Bundesliga.
Kobel was responsible for BVB’s rescue on numerous occasions last season, with his remarkable knack for the spectacle of watching him dominate the highlight reels.
A mini-spoiler here: Christiane Endler is the one female representative in this list.
The experienced Chilean goalkeeper has stiff competition from Mary Earps, but many would consider Endler to be the best at what she does in the women’s game.
She has starred for former Lyon since joining the club in 2021 and has been described as a “one in a million” goalkeeper by former USWNT shot-stopper Hope Solo.
There are few, if any, chinks in Endler’s armor.
A perpetual constant presence, Jan Oblak may not be as dominant as he once was, but the Atlético de Madrid EA continues to be highly respected for its stalwarts.
The Slovenian superstar has consistently been rated among the best in the world and is usually a fairly easy pick for Ultimate Team lovers intent on crafting a mean and nasty La Liga outfit.
Oblak and his steady hands usually avoid infamy and sequences of mayhem, with the serenity he provides between the sticks instilling an overwhelming sense of calm among the Atlético backline.
Ederson’s rating is aided by his monster 91 kicks which pay tribute to his borderline revolutionary ability to kick a football far and wide with exceptional accuracy.
Its distribution is still supreme and the best in the game, but the Manchester City stopper is starting to get caught a bit more often than before. Maintaining focus and concentration can be difficult given that his team usually dominates games and he is not a goalkeeper who can win games on his own.
Still, Ederson is an excellent goalkeeper and his 64 speed makes him among the smartest gloves in the game.
Most Barcelona fans would consider an 89 rating incredibly generous for Marc-Andre ter Stegen, an elegant goalkeeper with a similar profile to compatriot Neuer.
The German is not the goalkeeper he once was, although he can produce moments and performances that remind fans of his vintage brilliance. A long-term knee injury means he won’t be playing much before the release of EA FC 26.
Liverpool’s The transformative shooter isn’t the most refined in some departments, but he’s perhaps the best in one-on-one situations and an extraordinarily consistent goaltender.
His importance to the Reds remains unquestionable, even if he has missed a lot of time in 2024 due to various injury setbacks.
Alisson was a major factor in the club’s success under Jurgen Klopp, with his ability as a sweeper ensuring Liverpool’s often-aggressive defensive line were not relentlessly bogged down.
A towering goalkeeper who was destined for stardom as a teenager, GIanluigi Donnarumma’s peak came at Euro 2020 when he was crowned Player of the Tournament following Italy’s triumph.
There are holes Donnarumma’s The game suggesting a score of 89 is a bit too high, but the Italian is nonetheless a supreme shot who is racking up many collective honors in the French capital.
A torn ACL meant Thibaut Courtois missed a large chunk of last season and has been downgraded to an 89 from a 90. However, the Belgian is the joint-best goalkeeper in EA FC 25 and the vast majority would argue that Courtois is a far superior goalkeeper to Donnarumma.
His heroics helped Real Madrid to a 14th Champions League crown in Paris and Carlo Ancelotti did not hesitate to return him to his starting XI down the stretch last season despite the impression made by Andriy Lunin in his absence.
The towering bouncer is as close to completing as any goaltender, especially in the traditional sense. There are better ball players out there, but nobody has been more effective at keeping the other team from scoring than Courtois in recent years.
He produces when it matters most, and it often takes something very special to breach his defense.
