Best goalkeepers in FIFA 22 Career Mode
Goalkeeper is the one position on the pitch that we as players have no control over. Once an opponent has broken through the defense, it’s completely in the hands of the AI whether or not it winds up in the back of the net.
For this reason, sometimes the best choice in goal is simply the player with the best overall stats. Especially if you’re at a club that is competing for the top prizes.
These are the goalkeepers we’re expecting to be the best in FIFA 22 Career Mode. We’ll update this list with confirmed ratings as soon as EA announces them.
