FIFA 17: Three Goalkeepers You Should Take a Look
You can have the deadliest strikers, the ultimate midfield and a dominant defence, but sometimes in FIFA, things just don’t go your way. Every 50-50 challenge squirts straight back to the opposition. The referee penalises you for perfectly good tackles and doesn’t spot a clear penalty in your favour. As players start to lose their heads, passes go astray and you tackles get wild. These are the games where top-class goalkeepers come into their own, rebuffing all comers like a brick wall in front of the net.
Fortunately, there are plenty of good keepers in this year’s Career Mode, so we’ve rounded up 3 of the best and split them up. Let's take a look.
MANUEL NEUER
Manuel Neuer stands atop this list for the top 10 goalkeepers in FIFA 17, after yet another mesmerizing season under Pep Guardiola at Bayern Munich. The 30-year old helped the Bavarians to 2 titles in the 2015/16 campaign under Pep Guardiola. 6’4’’ tall right-footed goalie made a total of 51 appearances in the past season across 4 competitions.
The Germany international is now in France for the Euros as he aspires to lead Die Mannschaft to glory under Joachim Low. The top-rated goal-keeper in FIFA 16 at an overall of 90 has kept his lead in soon-to-be-released FIFA 17. 2014 World Cup winner remains the best goal-keeper in the real and the virtual world.
DE GEA
25-year old Man United No.1, often hailed by the fans as the ‘Wall of Manchester’, has enjoyed yet another eye-catching season at Old Trafford, getting his name on the PFA Team of the Year for the 3rd time in 4 seasons. Winner of Manchester United’s prestigious Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award David De Gea will be in charge of Spain’s post in France as they look on the keep hold of the Euro Cup this year.
Featuring in 49 matches across 4 competitions for Manchester United, the Spaniard was at the root of an impressive defensive season under Louis Van Gaal at the Stretford End. In fact, many believe the Spaniard went about saving the Dutchman’s job on a great many occasions at Old Trafford.
GIANLUIGI BUFFON
Age has never been a big issue in goal-keeping and things are no different for the 38-year old World Cup winner Gianluigi Buffon. Most capped player in the glorious history of Italian football, Gigi Buffon led his club to the Serie A and Coppa Italia titles in the 2015/16 campaign under coach Massimiliano Allegri. His consistent world-class performance at the heart of Italy and Juventus’ defense in the last decade has earned him a spot in UEFA Euro All-time XI published in 2016.
Former Parma goalkeeper Buffon appeared in 43 games in 3 competitions last season for Juventus. In his 35 league appearances, the Italy No. 1 went about to keep 21 clean sheets and bagging the Serie A golden glove along with the title of Juvetus’ Most Valued Player of the campaign 2015-16.
