The saying always goes, if you do not concede, the higher chance you will have to win the game. Scoring one goal is far easier than two or three in a game, especially considering the momentum a goal can give. You think of all the title-winning teams who get 1-0 wins in games they do not play their best, oftentimes that is due to their goalkeeper making important saves when necessary.
FIFA 23 is no different and it is highly recommended that you get someone you can trust in goal otherwise your life in FIFA will be far more difficult. We have gathered a list of the top 15 goalkeepers for you to grab when building your super team, either in career mode or ultimate team before all the prized teams of the week and event players are released.
