Goalkeeper – Manuel Neuer: 92 Overall

Manuel Neuer with a rating of 92 makes the team as the highest rated goalkeeper in FIFA 17. Neuer has, through the years , defined the role of the sweeper-keeper and made it his own. Impeccably gifted with the ball at his feet, he is no pushover when it comes to making outstanding saves from point blank or at a distance.

The German has risen leaps and bounds to establish himself as the best goalkeeper of the world and his reputation is reflected in the FIFA 17 ratings where he possesses 89 diving, 89 handling, 89 reflex and 91 positioning skills.
