The Best Goalkeepers
Premier League goalkeepers are the least utilized players on the field. Consequently, they are often overlooked when building a team. Most players prioritize acquiring forwards initially, followed by strengthening the midfield, defense, and finally, the goalkeeping position.
However, a good goalkeeper can have a significant impact, potentially saving numerous goals. Furthermore, they are often a wise investment due to their comparatively affordable prices.
When selecting a goalkeeper, it is crucial not to rely solely on their overall rating. Two essential attributes to consider when choosing a goalkeeper are reflexes and diving ability. Reflexes measure a goalkeeper’s agility when making saves, while diving indicates their ability to make saves when jumping.
Experienced Ultimate Team players understand that another critical factor influencing a goalkeeper’s performance is their height. Generally, the taller a goalkeeper is, the greater their chances of maintaining a clean sheet.
Global Overview (GK)
You will be in good hands with either of the two highest-rated Premier League goalkeepers, but in our opinion, Alisson is the top choice. He is taller and has the highest ratings in the most important attributes: reflexes, diving, and handling.
Ederson is also a solid option, especially if you frequently pass the ball to the goalkeeper. He is unmatched when it comes to play with his feet.
For a more budget-friendly option, consider André Onana or Emiliano Martínez.
