#1 Manuel Neuer - 92
Making it to this infamous list finally is German stopper, Manuel Neuer. The Bayern keeper has consistently led the way over the years as FIFA's highest rated goalkeeper and this year is no different. Only difference is, perhaps this time he shouldn't have been the best.
David De Gea more than proved himself this past year and showed he had the maturity to be the very best in all areas of goalkeeping. Neuer on the other hand, began committing mistakes which were rather uncharacteristic of the once reliable goalie. So it comes as a bit of a surprise that he is rated 92 in the game this year.
His 95 kicking and 91 positioning are top notch, easily beating his Spanish counterpart. EA seem to have blown it again with this one, but it may just be a matter of time before the flying German is forced to play second fiddle.
