Yann Sommer’s aged like a fine wine in goal. | Isosport/MB Media/Getty Images Overall: 84Sommer boasts a profile built around positioning and reactions rather than standout physical attributes. His 85 Reflexes and 85 Positioning are his strongest numbers, while 83 Handling and 82 Kicking offer a reasonable supporting cast. Diving, at 80, is his lowest listed attribute, putting him behind the higher-rated goalkeepers when it comes to reaching difficult attempts.

Unai Simon is a good shot-stopper. | Angel Perez Meca/Europa Press/Getty ImagesOverall: 85Simón’s 85 Reflexes and 84 Diving provide the foundations of his game, while Positioning is rated 82. His 81 Handling is serviceable, but 76 Kicking is the number that stands out in the wrong way.

Pickford’s distribution is elite. | Stu Forster/Getty ImagesOverall: 85Pickford’s 89 Kicking is the standout number here, giving him one of the strongest distribution profiles among the goalkeepers ranked. He also has 87 Reflexes and 84 Diving, so his value is not limited to launching the ball upfield. His 80 Handling and 82 Positioning are less convincing, though, leaving him a more specialized choice than some of the balanced alternatives.

Kobel’s diving is elite. | Hesham Elsherif/NurPhoto/Getty ImagesOverall: 87Kobel matches the elite names on this list in two important areas: he has 88 Diving and 88 Reflexes. Those ratings make him a strong candidate for players who prioritize reaction saves and reaching shots headed for the corners. His 86 Positioning and 85 Handling are respectable, too. The compromise comes with his 64 Kicking.

Alisson has had a drop in rating this year. | Michael Regan/Getty ImagesOverall: 87Alisson is a balanced option rather than a goalkeeper defined by one overwhelming statistic. His 87 Handling leads his profile, with 86 Reflexes and 86 Positioning providing a reliable base. An 85 Diving rating keeps him competitive, although his 82 Kicking is less impressive. For players who prefer consistency across several attributes, Alisson remains an attractive choice.

Oblak remains a beast. | CameraSport/Getty ImagesOverall: 88Oblak’s reputation has been built on consistency, and his ratings reflect that. His 90 Handling is the best feature of his profile, making him a strong choice for players who want their goalkeeper to hold on to the ball rather than give opponents second chances. He also has 87 Reflexes and 86 Positioning. His 79 Kicking, however, suggests that distribution is not the main reason to choose him.

Raya is one of EA FC 27’s best. | Catherine Ivill/AMA/Getty ImagesOverall: 88Raya offers something a little different from the more physically imposing options above him. His 88 Kicking is an outstanding attribute, reflecting his value in a side that wants to progress the ball from defence, and his 88 Reflexes mean he is hardly lacking when called upon to make a save. With 87 Diving and 86 Handling, he is well rounded, even if his numbers do not dominate quite as many categories as others.

Donnarumma is an imposing figure. | Michael Regan/Getty ImagesOverall: 89Few goalkeepers are as difficult to beat in one-on-one situations as Donnarumma. His 90 Diving and 90 Reflexes give him the tools to make spectacular saves, and his 88 Positioning helps him cover the goal effectively. Handling drops to 83, while his 72 Kicking is a notable weakness if you want your goalkeeper to play an active role in building from the back.
