Goalkeeper is one of the main positions in all the game modes of FC Mobile. A careful choice will allow you to concede fewer goals and increase your chances of winning. Mainly, when I choose my goalkeeper, I make sure that he is tall enough and has good stats in reflexes and reactions. On my website you can find the detailed guide on how to choose the goalkeeper. Remember, sometimes goalkeepers, especially in the first few weeks after their release, underperform than they could. Below you will find the Top 15 best goalkeepers and a short review based on my gaming experience. I will also include the best cheap choice, for which I will take as a reference players with red rank and a price of around 50M.
LAST RANKINGS UPDATE: November 11, 2024
1 - EMILIANO MARTINEZ
The OVR 102 version of Emiliano Martinez, released during the Trick or Treat event, is one of the best choices if you are looking for a solid goalie for your team. With 109 reflexes and 104 reactions, as well as his height of 195 cm, he will be among the best goalies for a long time. Great performance in all game modes, the only flaw is that he does not have the Long Thrower trait useful for Head to Head mode.
2 - EDWIN VAN DER SAR
The OVR 100 version of Edwin Van Der Sar, released during the Hall of Legends event, continues to be a guarantee if you are looking for a great goalkeeper for your team. With 108 in reflexes and 100 in reactions, as well as his height of 197 cm, he continues to have excellent performances in all game modes. It is probably one of those cards that on FC Mobile, even for its future new versions, will always have a guaranteed place in the Top 5 of the best goalkeepers.
3 - THIBAUT COURTOIS
The OVR 100 version of Thibaut Courtois, released during the Retro Stars event, is one of the tallest and best performing goalkeepers in FC Mobile. With 108 reflexes and 102 reactions, as well as his height of 200 cm, he manages to have excellent performances in all game modes. Maybe sometimes he is not very reactive in some scenarios, perhaps due to his excessive height, but overall he has excellent performances in all game modes.
4 - KOEN CASTEELS
The OVR 101 version of Koen Casteels, released during the Anniversary event, is among the best current choices if you are looking for a goalkeeper with good performance and a medium-high OVR. With 110 in reflexes and 101 in reactions, as well as his height of 197 cm, he manages to have excellent performances in all game modes. He probably performs better in the VS Attack mode, even if he is sometimes a little slow-reactive. For the Head to Head mode he does not have the Long Thrower trait.
5 - ROBERT SANCHEZ
The OVR 100 version of Robert Sanchez, released during the Trick or Treat event, is a good option if you are looking for a solid goalkeeper. With 108 reflexes and 103 reactions, as well as his height of 197 cm, he manages to have excellent performances in all game modes, on par with the best in this rankings. Perhaps the only flaw, for the Head to Head mode, is the lack of the Long Thrower trait.
6 - GIANLUIGI BUFFON
The OVR 103 version of Gianluigi Buffon, released during the Anniversary event, probably has the best stats you could find in a goalkeeper. With 115 reflexes and 107 reactions, as well as his height of 192 cm, he manages to have good performances despite not being excessively tall. Unfortunately on FC Mobile, especially in the VS Attack mode, height is a fundamental parameter that can make the stats of a good goalkeeper ineffective. However, Buffon manages to have excellent performances in both game modes, perhaps even better in the Head to Head mode.
7 - PETER SCHMEICHEL
The OVR 102 version of Peter Schemichel, released during the Anniversary event, is among the best goalkeepers based on stats, but his performances are inconsistent. With 112 reflexes and 104 reactions, as well as his height of 193 cm, he manages to have good performances despite not being excessively tall. Unfortunately on FC Mobile, especially in the VS Attack mode, height is a fundamental parameter that can make a good goalkeeper's stats ineffective. Despite everything, Schemichel manages to be quite reactive and effective in all game modes, especially in Head to Head mode (also thanks to the Long Thrower trait).
8 - GREGOR KOBEL
The OVR 99 version of Gregor Kobel, released during the UEFA Champions League Final event, despite many months having passed since his release, still manages to be very performing. With 106 in reflexes and 99 in reactions, as well as his height of 195 cm, despite not having stats at the same level as the latest goalkeepers released, he manages to have excellent performances in all game modes. This also proves that on FC Mobile, having a goalkeeper at least 195 cm tall is a fundamental parameter. In Head to Head mode the Long Thrower trait can help in counterattacks.
9 - LEV YASHIN
The OVR 103 version of Lev Yashin, released during the Anniversary event, is among the goalkeepers with the best stats currently. With 115 reflexes and 109 reactions, as well as his height of 189 cm, he is exceptional in Head to Head mode. Unfortunately, as with other goalkeepers, his stats are canceled out by his height, an essential value in FC Mobile. Currently he has good performances only in the close-range scenarios of the VS Attack and Head to Head modes, and is not very good at finesse shots. Currently not recommended also due to his excessive price.
10 - GIANLUIGI DONNARUMMA
The OVR 98 version of Gianluigi Donnarumma, released during the Team of the Season event, is still, despite goalkeepers with slightly better stats being released, a very solid goalkeeper. With 105 reflexes and 97 reactions, as well as his height of 196 cm, he has excellent performances in all game modes. His performances could undergo a nerf in the coming months, but currently he is still a very good solution.
11 - DAVID DE GEA
The OVR 101 version of David De Gea, released during the Anniversary event, is a great goalkeeper for all game modes on FC Mobile. With 109 reflexes and 104 reactions, as well as his 192 cm, he manages to have good reactions on every type of shot. He probably performs better in VS Attack mode. In Head to Head mode, despite having the Long Throwner trait, useful in counterattacks, you might have problems with finesse shots.
12 - TIM HOWARD
The OVR 100 version of Tim Haward, released during the Anniversary event in the Heroes 25 category, is a great goalkeeper on FC Mobile. With 108 reflexes and 102 reactions, as well as his 191 cm, he manages to have a good reaction in close shots. He has the Long Thrower trait, useful in counterattack scenarios in Head to Head mode.
13 - DIOGO COSTA
The OVR 99 version of Diogo Costa, released during the Euro 2024 event, continues to be a good goalkeeper for all game modes. With 107 in reflexes and 101 in reactions, as well as his 192 cm, he has excellent reactions on close shots. Suggested for the VS Attack mode in which, even if he is not very tall, with the One on Ones trait, he manages to anticipate the opponent's close shots.
14 - PETER SCHMEICHEL
The OVR 99 version of Peter Schmeichel, released during the Euro 2024 event, is still a great goalkeeper for all game modes. With 107 reflexes and 98 reactions, as well as his 193 cm, despite not having a good reaction, he manages to be very quick to dive into close shots. Recommended for all game modes on FC Mobile.
15 - PETR CECH
The OVR 98 version of Petr Cech, released during the Hall of Legends event, despite not having very high stats, manages to have excellent performances. With 103 in reflexes and 98 in reactions, as well as his 196 cm, he is excellent in VS Attack mode. Also excellent in Head to Head mode, also thanks to his Long Thrower trait.
CHEAP CHOICE - GREGOR KOBEL
The OVR 96 version of Gregor Kobel, released during the Team of the Season event, is currently one of the best solutions if you are looking for a cheap goalkeeper. With 103 reflexes and 96 reactions, as well as his height of 195 cm, if you do not have a high budget, he will be able to guarantee you excellent hits in all game modes. Currently his price is around 60M for the red rank version. If you are a new user and you are looking for a cheap goalkeeper or if you do not want to use your URP Mascherano on untradeable players, this version of Kobel, if used at medium-high levels of the game, will allow you to have good performances.
