Best young goalkeepers in EA FC 25
- EA FC 25 will officially release on 27 September
- Some of the world's brightest young goalkeepers have received upgrades
- Euro 2024 star Giorgi Mamardashvili is an exciting prospect
We all love our 41-year-old goalkeepers that have to take medication breaks in between saves, but it's equally satisfying to see a young stopper defying expectations at the top level.
Goalkeeper is generally a position that favours older heads, those who have guarded nets across the world. Experience can prove key in an area of the pitch that can chew up and spit out the mentally fragile, with one error potentially derailing an entire career.
However, to become the veteran who barks orders from the back, you have to be exposed to high-level football at a young age. There are a host of goalkeepers who are already waiting in the wings, ready to blossom in the next few years.
Let's take a look at the best young stoppers aged 23 or under based on their EA FC 25 ratings.
Best young goalkeepers in EA FC 25
In the men's game, there appears to be a dearth of talented young goalkeepers. Well, at least according to EA.
The leading candidate is Giorgi Mamardashvili who has been gifted an 85 rating after impressing with Valencia and Georgia. The 23-year-old has signed for Liverpool but returned to the Mestalla Stadium for 2024/25.
Lucas Chevalier is the closest to Mamardashvili's lofty standing and is 80-rated, with the Lille goalkeeper followed closely by his compatriot Guillaume Restes of Toulouse. The 19-year-old wonderkid is already 78-rated.
Chelsea went on another spending spree over the summer, with Filip Jorgensen one of their acquisitions. He's been handed a rating of 77, with his replacement at Villarreal, Luiz Junior, just a single rating below him.
There are considerably more promising goalkeepers in women's football right now, with Paris FC Women's Chiamaka Nnadozie (85) and Barcelona Femeni's Cata Coll (83) leading the way. The latter helped the Catalan giants secure another Champions League trophy last season.
20-year-old Khiara Keating has impressed for Manchester City Women in the Women's Super League and is already 80 overall. Chelsea Women's Hannah Hampton isn't far off and is 78-rated for this year's game.
But it's Liga F where the real talent resides. Alongside Coll of Barca, five other women playing in the Spanish first division sit in the top 20 highest ratings for goalkeepers aged 23 or under.
