Whichever team you’re controlling in your FIFA 22 Career Mode, you’ll want to have the best goalkeeper that you can guarding the space between the sticks. And if you’re shopping around for a GK, we’ve got all the insights that you need right here.

Buying the best GK in FIFA 22 is one way to stop your Career Mode side from leaking goals, and it’s well worth investing in one of the very best shot-stoppers in the game. It’s that creme-de-la-creme level that we’re going to cover in this guide.

If you’re looking for something other than a blockbuster signing, we’ve got separate guides on the best young players and best cheap players in FIFA 2022. But if you want a big-name signing in goal, read on to find out who is the best goalkeeper in FIFA 22.

The best goalkeeper in FIFA 22 is Jan Oblak of Athletico Madrid and Slovenia, who has the highest overall rating out of all the goalkeepers in the game. If you can afford to make him your number one, your Career Mode team will surely benefit.
