How to choose the Best Goalkeepers

 

In this article we will suggest the best goalkeepers for FIFA 17 Career Mode that you should be able to use in your club. Keep in mind that the best players for us may not be for you. It depends of your club, other players, formation, transfer budget, wages budget, play style, preferences, etc…

To select the best players, we have mainly into consideration their stats, potential and age. That’s why Petr Čech, for example, is not in this list. Someone who will not be playing for more than two seasons in our club is not such a good buy as someone who will play for five or six seasons.

 

In our website we suggest goalkeepers of three categories:

Best of the Best
Ideal for unlimited wallets or for who wants the best.

Best Deals
Decent GK that you can find at good prices or ending their contracts.

Best Young
Under 23 GK with great growth. Potential future top players.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Best Goalkeepers for FIFA 17 Career Mode

BEST CHOICE

DAVID DE GEA
Nationality: Spain 🇪🇸
Club (first season): Manchester United
Rating: 90
Potential (1): 92
Age: 25

This may be a surprise but De Gea deserves it. He is the best goalkeeper money can buy in FIFA 17 Career Mode. De Gea was once again the best Manchester United player last season and he is still growing. One year may be enough to reaches the Neuer’s level with the difference that he is five years younger.

THIBAUT COURTOIS
Nationality: Belgium 🇧🇪
Club (first season): Chelsea
Rating: 89
Potential (1): 93
Age: 24

The Chelsea’s goalkeeper is a bit slow but he has another great stats. The Belgian player is the goalkeeper with highest potential in the game. He is very young which makes him a great buy to a medium term too.

 
 
3
 
 
 

MANUEL NEUER
Nationality: Germany 🇩🇪
Club (first season): FC Bayern
Rating: 92
Potential (1): 92
Age: 30

This may be shocking to you but, in our opinion, Manuel Neuer is not anymore the best goalkeeper for your Career Mode campaign. For most football fans, he is currently the best goalkeeper in the world. In fact, if you want the best for your team now, you need to buy him. However, he’s already 30 and De Gea or Courtois are much better investments than he is.

 
 
4
 
 
 

JAN OBLAK
Nationality: Slovenia 🇸🇮
Club (first season): Atlético de Madrid
Rating: 87
Potential (1): 91
Age: 23

Oblak is one of the goalkeepers with the most amazing growth. Last year he wasn’t even in our top 10 and in FIFA 17 he is now fighting with Neuer for a place in the best 3. He’s just 23 and already has amazing stats like handling 90 or positioning 87.

 
 
5
 
 
 

BERND LENO
Nationality: Germany 🇩🇪
Club (first season): Bayer 04 Leverkusen
Rating: 86
Potential (1): 89
Age: 24

Leno has quality to play in any club. Bayer 04 will not be able to hold him for much longer. For whom they are going to lose him? Will it be for you?

 
 
6
 
 
 

TIMO HORN
Nationality: Germany 🇩🇪
Club (first season): 1. FC Koln
Rating: 83
Potential (1): 89
Age: 23

Kahn should be proud to see that the German goal is still in good hands. Literally. Neuer, Leno, Horn, Karius and Trapp are just a few examples.

 
 
7
 
 
 

JACK BUTLAND
Nationality: England 🇬🇧
Club (first season): Stoke City
Rating: 82
Potential (1): 89
Age: 23

You know him. He is the most talented English goalkeeper of our days. Hart? Who’s that?

 
 
8
 
 
 

GERONIMMO RULLI
Nationality: Argentina 🇦🇷
Club (first season): Real Sociedad
Rating: 82
Potential (1): 89
Age: 24

If you have a limited budget but still need a top-quality goalkeeper, Rulli may be the player you are looking for. He’s the most unknown goalkeeper in this TOP 10 but give him a chance to play one or two seasons in your club and you will see how he will become very popular.

 
 
9
 
 
 

HUGO LLORIS
Nationality: France 🇫🇷
Club (first season): Tottenham Spurs
Rating: 88
Potential (1): 88
Age: 29

We are sure that many players will ask us why Lloris is not in the top of this list. Well, you are playing Ultimate Team or Career Mode? If you only plan to play one or two seasons, he will be perfect for your club. Otherwise, he’s too old for a long term campaign.

 
 
10
 
 
 

ANTHONY LOPES
Nationality: Portugal 🇵🇹
Club (first season): Olympique Lyonnais
Rating: 83
Potential (1): 87
Age: 26

Anthony Lopes don’t have the potential of other goalkeepers who were left from this list, like Alphonse Areola, but he is one with the most balanced stats. Give him a try.
