Highest-rated GKs in Ultimate Team
Our recommendations
Lev Yashinis not only the highest-rated goalkeeper in EA FC 25, but also one of the best you may buy. The Russian legend is best known for his iconic cap, but it’s his stats that make him so good. With 93 Diving and 94 Reflexes, these two attributes are the joint highest of any GK in the game, which is a big deal, as they are the most important.
The only other Icon to match that isGianluigi Buffon, with the Italian being a new addition to this year’s game. Not only are his attributes incredible, but Buffon is also 6’4″ and has Far Reach+. This makes him the best option to counter attackers using Finesse Shot+ and Trivela+ to place shots in the far corner. Most goalkeepers can’t reach these, but Buffon can stop them.

Best young goalkeepers in EA FC 25 with high potential
If you don’t fancy spending a lot on an Icon GK,Gianluigi Donnarummais another great option that costs a fraction of the price. He has great stats and access to Deflector+, a great PlayStyle if you are tired of conceding goals from rebounds. At 6’5″ he also has great length for dealing with well placed shots, and the PSG player strong links to meta options like Dembele, Marquinhos, and Hakimi.
Meta goalkeepers (GK)
While there are many great goalkeepers in EA FC 25,Alissonis the best all-around option. He has extremely well-rounded stats and multiple key PlayStyles, including Deflector+ and Far Throw. The Liverpool GK is also very tall at 6’4″ and strong links to a variety of meta players like Van Dijk, Salah, and Chiesa.
If you aren’t looking for a Premier League GK,Thibaut Courtoisis a close second and your next best option. Courtois is massive at 6’7″, with that size and his 90 Reflexes making him the best shot stopper in the game. He also has Far Throw, meaning his low Kicking stat isn’t a problem, and links to several unbelievable players, including Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and a certain Kylian Mbappé.
Nick Popeis by far the lowest-rated player on our list, but there’s a good reason for his inclusion. The Newcastle player has remained a surprise meta option for years now, with his huge 6’6″ stature and Footwork PlayStyle making him hard to beat. Additionally, Pope is very cheap, with even beginners on their first day able to easily buy him.
