In modern football, the role of a goalkeeper has expanded far beyond the traditional “shot stopper”. When players build their Ultimate Team in EA FC 25, it is crucial to select a versatile goalkeeper. EA Sports considers a goalkeeper’s overall rating, including shot-saving ability, ball-handling skills, passing accuracy, and mental toughness in high-pressure situations.

Therefore, for players who seek to gain an edge in the game, picking an elite-level goalkeeper with outstanding all-around abilities is a key step in building a successful team. These top goalkeepers can create more scoring opportunities for the team.

When selecting a goalkeeper, players should look for those with high ratings in FUT 25, as they tend to represent the best goalkeepers in the game, providing stable performances in a variety of game situations.

10. Mike Maignan - 87 OVR

Mike Maignan is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. While Liverpool may have shown some weaknesses in their set-piece defence recently, this has not affected Frenchman’s excellent performances in possession.

Since Maignan’s outstanding performances began to be known, many Milan fans have seen a significant improvement in his opinion of him and see him as a first choice for French national team after Hugo Lloris retires. His performances are well worth the FIFA 25 Coins you spend.

9. Emiliano Martinez - 87 OVR

Emiliano Martinez breaks the monotony surrounding the “greatest player of all time”. Without the outstanding performances of Aston Villa goalkeeper, Lionel Messi would have hardly won World Cup triumph. Martinez went from being a player passed up by Arsenal to a top goalkeeper and a much-admired Argentine national hero.

And because of his outstanding performances with Aston Villa in the 2023/24 season, Martinez has received a +2 upgrade in EA Sports FC 25.

8. Gregor Kobel - 88 OVR

Gregor Kobel has been named one of the best goalkeepers in the world in 2023 by EA. The Switzerland international helped Borussia Dortmund reach Champions League final. Kobel surpassed Manuel Neuer with an 88 rating to become the best goalkeeper in Bundesliga.

7. Christiane Endler - 88 OVR

Christiane Endler is the only female representative on this list. Many consider the experienced Chilean goalkeeper to be the best goalkeeper in the women’s game. She has been dominant at Lyon since joining the club in 2021 and was previously described as a “one in a million” goalkeeper by former US Women’s National Soccer Team goalkeeper Hope Solo.

6. Jan Oblak - 88 OVR

Jan Oblak continues to show consistent play and the Atletico Madrid stalwart remains highly regarded by EA. The Slovenian superstar is consistently regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in the world and is often one of the first choices for players looking to build a mean La Liga outfit in Ultimate Team.

5. Ederson - 88 OVR

Ederson has an excellent shooting ability of 91, which reflects his revolutionary skill of kicking the ball far with precision. His passing ability is also excellent and among the best in the game. His team usually dominates the game, but he is not a goalkeeper who can win the game alone, and staying focused and concentrated can be difficult. But Ederson’s 64 speed means he is one of the most agile goalkeepers in the game.

4. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen - 89 OVR

Many Barcelona fans feel that Marc-Andre ter Stegen is unlikely to live up to the 89 rating, as the German player is no longer at his peak, although he can occasionally show performances that are reminiscent of his glory days. However, because of a long-term knee injury, he is not expected to play many games before the release of EA FC 26.

3. Alisson - 89 OVR

While the Liverpool goalkeeper may not be the most technically sound in some aspects, he is extremely consistent in one-on-one defense, and his importance to the team is unquestionable. Although he missed a lot of games in 2024 because of injury, Alisson is still the key to Liverpool’s success. His excellent ability as a sweeper ensures that the team’s aggressive defense is not easily exploited by the opponent.

2. Gianluigi Donnarumma - 89 OVR

Gianluigi Donnarumma is a goalkeeper with a powerful physique. His peak performance was during Euro 2020, when he helped Italy win the championship and was named the best player in the tournament. Although Donnarumma has some shortcomings in his game, the Italian goalkeeper is still a top goalkeeper.

1. Thibaut Courtois - 89 OVR

Injury caused Thibaut Courtois to miss most of the last season and his rating also dropped from 90 to 89. But the Belgian goalkeeper is still the joint-best goalkeeper in FUT 25. He helped Real Madrid win their 14th Champions League crown. This imposing goalkeeper is close to perfection in almost every aspect. No one has been as effective at stopping goals as Courtois in recent years.

In EA FC 25, these elite-level goalkeepers are undoubtedly valuable assets to any Ultimate Team. Not only do they excel in stopping shots, they also show excellent abilities in ball control and passing. Whether in defense or attack, they can support the team in key moments. Choosing these top goalkeepers will add unparalleled strength and stability to your team and help you achieve better results in the game.
