Best Goalkeepers in FIFA 23

Secure your goal with the best goalkeepers in FIFA 23

Goalkeeper is arguably the most challenging position to master in football simulation games, and FIFA 23 is no exception. To ensure your last line of defense is capable of the task, here are the finest goalkeepers in FIFA 23.

EA faces a delicate balancing act with goalkeepers. Grant them too much power, and you’ll end up with impregnable robotic keepers, reminiscent of David Seaman, who miraculously save even the most perfectly aimed shots from seemingly impossible positions.

On the other hand, making goalkeepers excessively error-prone would be even worse, potentially leading to a global shortage of controllers as frustrated players lash out when AI-controlled keepers replicate Claudio Bravo’s holographic brilliance (he was a decent goalie, but undeniably awful at Man City).

In FIFA 23, goalkeepers exhibit a higher level of realism than ever before. They no longer succumb to every shot at the near post, as in the previous year, but they do struggle to deal with hard-driven low volleys, just like in top-tier football matches.

While this may be frustrating when it goes against you, it adds an element of unpredictability to the game.

Nevertheless, in such open matches, having a reliable player guarding the goal is crucial during critical moments. Although they may occasionally lose sight of the ball when rushing out to confront an attacker, the top goalkeepers in FIFA 23 excel at preventing scoring opportunities, commanding aerial crosses, and making remarkable point-blank saves.

First, let’s explore the cream of the crop based on their overall rating, the premier shot-stoppers in the world of football. These are the players you should seek when assembling your ultimate dream team, where only the finest will suffice.

However, they may not always be the players you want to acquire. Therefore, we will also highlight some lower-rated players with immense potential to evolve into the next generation of superstars.

Lastly, we will provide a list of our recommended goalkeepers to sign in FIFA 23 Career Mode. These are players who might not be on your radar yet but represent fantastic deals for clubs of varying budgets.

If you’re in it for the long haul, be sure to check out our comprehensive list of FIFA 23 Wonderkids for each position. Additionally, we have dedicated pages featuring the best strikers and wingers in FIFA 23, the top CAMs, CMs, and CDMs in FIFA 23, as well as the finest defenders in FIFA 23.

Best Goalkeepers to Sign in FIFA 23 Career Mode

1. Gregor Kobel – Borussia Dortmund – Age: 24 – Value: £40m / Wage: £35,000 – Overall Rating: 83 / Potential Rating: 88

If you’re managing a top-tier team and need a replacement for your aging goalkeeper, consider signing Gregor Kobel. He has excelled at replacing Roman Burki at Borussia Dortmund and has significant potential in FIFA 23, making him an excellent choice for wealthy clubs seeking fresh talent in goal.

2. Dominik Livakovic – Dinamo Zagreb – Age: 27 – Value: £20m / Wage: £10,000 – Overall Rating: 80 / Potential Rating: 83

While Dominik Livakovic experienced a potential decrease in FIFA 23 due to a less impressive season in the Croatian league, he remains one of the top goalkeepers outside of the major leagues. With the “Saves with Feet” trait, he offers a valuable skill set, and his reduced value makes him accessible to a wider range of teams.

3. Illan Meslier – Leeds United – Age: 22 – Value: £17.5m / Wage: £25,000 – Overall Rating: 77 / Potential Rating: 84

At just 22 years old, Illan Meslier has established himself as a regular player in the Premier League. Following in the footsteps of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha, he is destined for a move to one of the world’s top clubs. Meslier possesses the coveted “Saves with Feet” trait, making him a desirable option for skilled players.

4. Alban Lafont – Nantes – Age: 23 – Value: £25m / Wage: £20,000 – Overall Rating: 80 / Potential Rating: 85

Another promising young talent is Alban Lafont, a favorite in Career Mode. Despite his high potential, he will come at a higher cost, reflecting his potential to replace Hugo Lloris as France’s national team goalkeeper. A solid choice for those seeking a long-term investment in their squad.

5. Ugurcan Cakir – Trabzonspor – Age: 26 – Value: £20m / Wage: £30,000 – Overall Rating: 80 / Potential Rating: 84

Ugurcan Cakir shares similarities with Livakovic, as both are in their mid-20s and play outside the top five leagues. With an 80 overall rating and mid-80s potential, Cakir suits Premier League teams or larger European clubs. Despite being the captain of Trabzonspor, his availability for a move is still a possibility.

6. Justin Bijlow – Feyenoord – Age: 24 – Value: £20m / Wage: £8,000 – Overall Rating: 79 / Potential Rating: 85

With slightly lower overall but significant potential, Justin Bijlow is a valuable young option for teams aiming to climb the ranks. While injuries have affected his real-life performances, they don’t translate to FIFA, and his stats are well-balanced without any glaring weaknesses.

7. Andriy Lunin – Real Madrid – Age: 23 – Value: £10m / Wage: £50,000 – Overall Rating: 75 / Potential Rating: 84

Andriy Lunin was once considered a highly-rated talent, but spending four years on the bench at Real Madrid affected his potential. However, this makes him an attractive prospect for teams with limited financial resources. With solid stats and the “Saves with Feet” trait, he remains a reliable and enjoyable option.

8. Maarten Vandevoordt – Genk – Age: 20 – Value: £3m / Wage: £4,500 – Overall Rating: 70 / Potential Rating: 84

A returning star from Road to Glory Career Modes in FIFA 23, Maarten Vandevoordt may have a lower starting potential, but game time and dynamic potential can help him reach new heights. As a tall and inexpensive goalkeeper, he offers excellent value for money.

9. Jay Gorter – Ajax – Age: 22 – Value: £3.5m / Wage: £5,000 – Overall Rating: 71 / Potential Rating: 82

Jay Gorter, Ajax’s substitute goalkeeper, presents an enticing signing option for lower to mid-tier clubs. While his potential has slightly decreased in FIFA 23, his improved overall rating makes him immediately suitable for Championship or similar-level teams.

10. Iturbe – Atletico Madrid – Age: 18 – Value: £1m / Wage: £1,000 – Overall Rating: 65 / Potential Rating: 80

For those seeking an unrealistic but cost-effective signing, Iturbe fits the bill. Despite his low initial rating, he can develop into a decent goalkeeper as your team progresses through the leagues.

11. Joan Garcia – Espanyol – Age: 21 – Value: £1.5m / Wage: £2,500 – Overall Rating: 66 / Potential Rating: 78

Slightly more expensive but similar to Iturbe, Joan Garcia offers a comparable option. He has room to grow and can be a reliable choice for teams on a tight budget.

12. Gabriel Slonina – Chelsea/Chicago Fire – Age: 18 – Value: £1.5m / Wage: £2,000 – Overall Rating: 66 / Potential Rating: 81

Although Gabriel Slonina has been transferred to Chelsea and loaned back to Chicago Fire, he is worth considering for long-term Career Mode plans. With a low price tag and promising potential, he represents an excellent investment.

13. Josh Griffiths – West Brom/Portsmouth – Age: 20 – Value: £1m / Wage: £3,000 – Overall Rating: 65 / Potential Rating: 80

Josh Griffiths is another player who may not be immediately available due to his loan status, but he’s a great choice for players interested in English lower-league Career Modes. With his homegrown English status, he can be a valuable addition to your team.
