In FIFA Mobile, the goalkeeper (GK) position holds significant importance, especially in Division Rivals mode. However, it’s important to note that a goalkeeper’s real-life status as world-class doesn’t necessarily guarantee superior gameplay in the game. Sometimes, less-known goalkeepers may perform exceptionally well in FIFA Mobile.
Mastering the art of scoring goals is crucial, but equally important is the ability to prevent your opponent from finding the back of the net. This underscores the importance of having a skilled goalkeeper on your team. The current meta favors certain goalkeepers over others, and knowing which ones can give your team a competitive edge is vital. If you’re in the market for a new goalkeeper in FIFA Mobile, read on!
Selecting a goalkeeper isn’t just about speed; reflexes, handling, reactions, and positioning are all critical factors that can elevate a goalkeeper to world-class status. However, finding the right goalkeeper for your team will depend on your specific needs and the system you’re running.
Are you in need of a resolute shot-stopper whose sole aim is to prevent the ball from crossing the goal line, or do you prefer a goalkeeper skilled in distribution, capable of delivering long balls over the opposition’s defensive line? Rest assured, there’s a goalkeeper for every style of play out there.
In the previous seasons, one of the advantages of GK is height (and it was too overpowered). We hope that is not the case for this season though.
Goalkeepers with greater height have an advantage in defending shots aimed close to the goalpost, and they excel at intercepting balls that are tossed deep into the penalty area. This is due to their extended reach and ability to cover a larger area within the goal.
Stats that are very important for goalkeepers are Reflexes, Diving, Reactions, Handling, and GK Positioning.
The Reflexes stat indicates the agility of the goalkeeper during a save attempt. Essentially, it measures the speed at which the goalkeeper can react to a shot on goal. A lower Reflexes stat could result in the goalkeeper reacting slower to shots or potentially missing them altogether.
Diving refers to the goalkeeper’s capacity to make a save while leaping through the air. This ability is directly influenced by the player’s height, with taller players generally excelling at diving.
Handling, on the other hand, is a unique attribute for goalkeepers that assesses how cleanly they catch the ball and their ability to maintain possession once it’s caught. Essentially, it measures the goalkeeper’s tendency to catch the ball outright, as opposed to deflecting it away, and their ability to hold onto it securely.
GK Positioning refers to the ability of goalkeepers to correctly position themselves when attempting to save shots. Moreover, it also influences how a goalkeeper responds to crosses, determining their positioning and reaction in these scenarios.
The best Skill Boosts for GK are Reflexes and Number 1 Handling.
Here are the best goalkeepers in FIFA Mobile 23. We will add the TOTS Players when the event ends.

HM says
EOE CASILLAS SORRY FOR REPLYING LATE LMAO
JC says
I have Martinez OVR110 and Nübel (moved up to OVR105)… surprisingly GK Stats in Nübel are better than Martinez .Thoughts? recommendations?
RM 500 says
Buffon is much better than Donnarumma when you give him only a few ranks and train his skill boost to at least 5. This my own experience.
BagetAgent01 says
Alisson TOTSSF, Neuer Retro and Yashin Icon are all nerfed. They are so bad in game now. Neuer has fake stats and 96 Retro Pope is so underrated. He is a beast and is the keeper I struggle most with.
sahil ahamed says
What about Lopes.
banbnll says
all of goalkeeper in game is shit and not have good perfomence . you should have amazing defender
Elia says
Lopes104 or alisson 101(98)
Daniel says
Come on??!! Casillas 98 it’s better than the yashin95 and donnaruma100 ……yashin in fifa mobile 20 it’s not good
Papoo says
Dont waist your time on which gk is better all best gk act same
I can tell you which gk i have struggled with
1cassilas 2Alison 3henderson 4 oblak 5donnaruma
Daniel says
Yes it’s true casillas is beast
Arnav Ghosh says
Who all think that the previous two events in fifa mobile 20 were utter trash?
1. Atlantis
2. El Dorado.
Arnav Ghosh says
Alisson is the best at 98 he has a diving of about 125-130.
#Alissonisthebest
JK says
As far as I can tell, compared to Alisson, Navas has much better Agility but much worse GK Positioning. Diving and Reflexes are about the same between the two, but Alisson has better Handling while Navas has slightly better Reactions. So, which stat couplet carries more weight, Agility and Reactions, or Positioning and Handling? Thanks!
zct says
bác cho e hỏi là alisson 98 vs sommer 98 ai ngon hơn
Papoo says
Not matter i faced alison and i can say i tsruggle with him im not sure about navas gk not diffrent state not so important somtime the act like super hero somtime like a trash
JK says
Have you considered Navas OVR 99 El Dorado for this list? Please do, and let us know 🙂
Arnav Ghosh says
El Dorado has NAVAS???
André says
Please let us know where Star Pass Buffon sits on this list. Better than Donnaruma 94?
BagetAgent01 says
How is Donna on the top of the list. Even Sommer from Bundesliga Rivals is better. And LNY Neuer is no outdated.
BagetAgent01 says
Is so*
Football freak says
If 88 ovr gulacsi is trained upto 5 ovr (93)
he will be a beast
Where is 92 ovr leno
Swaghil says
When will all the lists be updated.
Kris says
Is Donnarumma POTM better than Allison TOTSSF in VSA gameplay?
RM 500 says
Allison is better than Donnarumma in all types of gameplays in fifa mobile.
Moses says
What about Van der sar….? Wer would you place him on the list as per performance.?
K2 says
The order that GK are listed matters or not? According to stats Utotssf Oblak 99 has hier stats.
Blasphemer says
1more question – is Alisson 98ovr better than oblak 99ovr ???? I mean all oblak stats are higher than those of Alisson.
I sold Alisson 3days back for 9.5million and due to some glitch didn’t receive the coins and player is gone as well. Have tried multiple reboots of mobile. Also logged a case with EA help but no solution till now 🙁
Please help me if you can.
Blasphemer says
@admin
Theres a serious error – UTOTSSF oblak has SB as Number1 not Reflexes. TOTSSF oblak has Reflex boost.
Also. Handanovic is one of the rare GKs who got special trait of 1on1. Is this trait helpful????
admin says
Thanks for correcting me, I have fixed it now.
Blasphemer says
Welcome. Wats ur view on handanovic and his special trait – GK One on One ???
BagetAgent01 says
The one on one trait means that Handanovic will run forward to try and tackle or grab the ball from the attacker. It is a good train in VSA where there is not much time to shoot, but for H2H, it is not a good trait
Rex says
Stop fooling around… You’ve put Donna on top of that list… Above yashin… That’s not at all true…this list is not trustworthy for game play.
Khá bảnh says
Donnarumma POTM and Henderson Totssf . Who is better ??
RM 500 says
YES . Yashin is the best, even better than Oblak, Allison and Neuer.
Rock says
Casillas is the beast If you trained him to 102 or 103 ovr He is the beast because has a best jumping and acceletation . Saves finesse shots using Jumping but utotssf oblak can’t save finesse
Adithya says
What about totssf handanovic players saying that he is effective.write the answer to my email
[email protected]
TQ
admin says
seriously?
Andrei Marius says
Admin Oblak utots is a beast, must be în top 3 gk!
Lol says
UTOTS Oblak beast
Pranay says
Casillas is the best if he’s trained to 101 ovr with more than 4 ranks
He’s also a great link with potm Ramos and totssf piqué
I have them.. and now my ovr is 120 230 chem😀😀
admin says
Rank has nothing to do with performance. Ranks only increases team OVR, not player stats.
sean lee says
bro if ur overall is 120 and ur 230 chem then ur trash lmaoo
Person says
It doesnt mean he’s trash, it’s just means he is f2p.
Robobot says
I got him at 100 ovr, my previous was Donna 100, think Donna 100 is better
Huraaji says
How about sommer totssf and wojciech totssf
Shahil m says
Totssf Handanovic….he should be in the list…..he is really awesome…
BagetAgent01 says
Why is Milinkovic-Savic still here after the update? I must admit that he is still good at saving short power shots, but why? All his stats now point to a bad goalkeeper.
Legend0353 says
What about Totssf Handanovic??? Is he good? And update the list with 107 ovr van der sar and other Totssf GKs.
Darius says
I do have Milinkovic Savic 102 ovr, bet seems for me not good anymore, what about Henderson 95ovr, is he good?
FIFA Mobile Việt Nam says
That fix GK so sad, Some people throw this game
Blasphemer says
Missing – Van der Sar – 107 (Not F2P). Is he not good ???? His key stats are like 130-140
Greg Mendoza says
I think it’s hilarious that the Prime Icon from Germany isn’t the best keeper when all the stats show that he is….Donnarumma hahahaha. And yes what about Van Der Sar.
Iker Casillas says
POTM 94 Donnarumma is not the best, there are other who are far better. In terms of stats, Iker EoE 98, Courtois 102 TOTSSF, Alisson 98 TOTSSF have much better stats. Please update the list.
BagetAgent01 says
Yes, if stats are the only important thing now, Donna should not be no. 1. I have Casillas at 99 + 11 and he has all important stats above 121. And the Icons should be up there including 107 van der Sar.
Kaif khan says
If goalkeepers plays according to their gameplay,then alisson,lehmann,casillas and others,whose has better stats than donnrumma,they should be better than donnarumma.
Infinity says
Hi admin please help me through this…… Shall I upgrade 94 OVR Donnarumma or take 98 OVR Alisson , 100 OVR Oblak. My team is having three different Varane, Cannavaro, Van Dijk. Which GK I should go for please help me or give a suggestion.
BagetAgent01 says
Allison has the best stats but if he doesn’t have good chem with your defenders, then don’t get him.
RO says
how is jan oblak of totssf?
randy the viper says
admin,pls say me,how is jan oblak of totssf?
Joesephi says
apparently utots oblak will have no.1 boost so should I switch donna to get him or should I switch donna to get alisson plz reply
Carlos says
I have Donnarumma and I’m about to get Yashin. I also have money to upgrade any of them up to 98. Which one do you think is better and (if possible) why?
BagetAgent01 says
Choose Yashin because he will have better stats and he can also link with anyone because he is an Icon.
