Major Update 1.36: live your goalkeeper career

NEW MODE: GOALKEEPER CAREER

TEN PLAYERS CHASE THE BALL. ONLY ONE WAITS FOR IT.

The goalkeeper is the loneliest position in football: the one who appears least in the highlights and has the most at stake in every play. One save makes you a hero; one mistake haunts you for weeks. Now it’s your turn. Pull on the gloves, take the number 1 shirt and build an entire career between the posts.

YOUR CAREER STARTS IN GOAL AT A MODEST CLUB

Nobody knows your name. Your agent brings you your first offers from humble second-division clubs, and you arrive as the keeper who has to hold the team together.

• Every clean sheet and every decisive save brings bigger clubs closer: transfers, loans and new contracts.
• From the second division to the top flight, all the way to the major leagues.
• At every new club you start again: Substitute → Rotation → Starter → Star → Captain.
• Goalkeepers last longer: your career can run until the age of 38. Will you retire as a legend?

ONLY ONE CAN WEAR THE GLOVES

There’s room for plenty of strikers on the pitch, but only for one goalkeeper.

• Every week the manager decides who goes in goal, and tells you why.
• Your rival for the gloves is waiting for your first mistake to take your place.
• The manager talks to you as the team’s last line of defence, with conversations written for a goalkeeper.
• Captain, defenders, president, doctor, press, agent, family and supporters: they all remember your saves… and your howlers.

THIS IS HOW A GOALKEEPER LIVES A MATCH

• Full-stretch dives into the top corner, punched corners, high claims and star-jump saves in one-on-ones.
• Penalties that turn you into a hero, shootouts included.
• The opposition won’t give you an easy afternoon: long-range shots, counterattacks and chances that test you until the final whistle.
• Live match rating built for goalkeepers: saves, goals conceded and decisive interventions push your rating up or down, and the game tells you why.
• 3 goalkeeper missions every match: save percentage, clean sheet and more. If your defence keeps the opponent away, they still count.
• Ball far from your box? Fast-forward the match and the game stops as soon as the play comes back your way.

FROM YOUR CLUB TO YOUR COUNTRY

Choose the national team you want to be considered for. Stand out in a major league and the national-team manager will come to watch you. Earn your call-up, defend your country’s goal during international breaks and add caps to your record.

BODY, MIND AND WALLET

• Fitness matters: a tired keeper loses reflexes, agility and spring.
• From your second season onwards, injuries become part of your story too.
• Train in the gym, take care of your rest and manage your money.
• After the match come the interviews, and the next morning the newspaper tells your story.

GLORY BELONGS TO GOALKEEPERS TOO

Lift the trophy when you win a final, get congratulated by the manager and the president, and fill your trophy cabinet with titles, clean sheets and unforgettable saves.

Your gloves. Your career. Make every save count.

See you at the stadium!
