In FC Mobile, having a reliable goalkeeper can make the difference between winning and losing. Some goalkeepers perform far better in-game than their real-life reputation suggests, thanks to their height and stats like Reflexes, Handling, and Positioning.

Other Positions:
In EA Sports FC Mobile 26, the goalkeeper (GK) position plays a crucial role. However, being a famous real-life goalkeeper doesn’t always guarantee strong in-game performance. Some underrated players can actually perform better in FC Mobile depending on the meta.
While scoring goals wins matches, preventing them is just as important. That’s why choosing the right goalkeeper can change the outcome of close games. The current meta still favors taller goalkeepers, as their extended reach helps them block shots near the post and catch crosses inside the box more effectively.
When picking a goalkeeper, key stats such as Reflexes, Diving, Handling, Reactions, and GK Positioning determine how well a goalkeeper performs.
Reflexes measure how quickly they react to shots, while Diving shows their ability to leap and save from distance. Handling affects how cleanly they catch the ball and how often they parry it. Reactions influence how fast they adjust to deflections or rebounds, and GK Positioning determines how well they read the play and close down angles.

Donnarumma Ballon d’Or or Schmeichel Anniversary
What about anniversary icon peter schmeichel ( over 102 )
He is good and one of the best alternatives if you can’t afford his Trophy of Titans version or the other TOP GKs.
I have red Donnarumma and wondering if I should invest in winter 105 VDS? Should I just get better ST since I am using POTM Kane???
You should get a better ST, and if possible, avoid exchanging your resources for untradeable players unless they have a top OVR and great gameplay. Buy tradable players so you can sell them later when they become outdated.
Thank you for your advice!
