FIFA 22 Career Mode gives fans more freedom than ever before, but it doesn't make it easier to choose the right person between positions. We've put together an in-depth guide to the best goalkeepers you should sign.
Away from the fierce competition of Ultimate Team, a Career mode can sometimes provide a relaxing change of pace, especially in FIFA 22, thanks to the all-new Build A Club feature that lets you build a squad from scratch.
As your club grows, it can be difficult to find the right signing to take it to the next level. A good goalkeeper is essential to success, so we've rounded up the best stoppers you should sign in FIFA 22 Career Mode.
The goalkeeper is the only position on the pitch over which we players have no control. Once an opponent breaks through the defence, it is entirely in the hands of the AI whether or not they end up in the back of the net.
For this reason, sometimes the best goal pick is simply the player with the best overall stats. Especially if you are at a club competing for top prizes.
These are the keepers we hope will be the best in FIFA 22 Career Mode. We'll update this list with confirmed ratings as soon as EA announces them.

There are plenty of talented young goalkeepers in FIFA 22 with potentially high ratings.
Recruiting these players cheaply early on and developing them can be a great way to plan a few seasons ahead or make a big profit later to fund other recruits. Either way, bringing in someone with a lot of potential has very few downsides.
These are the young goalkeepers we expect to be the most promising in FIFA 22's Career Mode. We'll update this list with ratings, potential, and price once the game is released.

Sometimes a club needs a solid goalkeeper without breaking the bank.
This could be a backup for a first-choice keeper or a short-term replacement after your number one leaves on deadline day. Luckily, there are plenty of options available if you're not looking to spend a lot of money.
We'll update this list of cheap goalie options with prices once FIFA 22 is released.
