Summary
Highlights
Goalkeeper Playstyles00:00:23
There are two main playstyles: Offensive (sweeper-keeper) who actively challenges attackers outside the box, and Defensive, who focuses on staying deep to stop shots and protect the goal line.
Key Goalkeeper Stats Breakdown00:01:04
The six main stats are Jumping (least important), GK Awareness (crucial for positioning), GK Catching (handling rebounds), GK Parrying (deflecting balls to safety), GK Reflexes (reaction to close-range shots), and GK Reach (stretching for corner shots).
The Role of Player Models00:03:23
The player model, including height, arm, and leg coverage, is the most important factor. Taller goalkeepers with longer limbs perform better by covering more area regardless of base stats.
Tier List and Training Strategy00:04:09
Player models are S+ tier, while Awareness, Reach, and Reflexes are S tier. Training should prioritize the three S-tier stats, balancing them based on the individual goalkeeper's arm and leg length characteristics.
