Last update: 11 May 2016

Basic interventions

The basis of playing as a goalkeeper, and receiving a high grade, are of course successful interventions, which let your whole team keep a clean sheet. Standard jumps along the goal line can be performed by pushing the pressing button and choosing the direction. Heading out of the goal in order to stop an attack on your own can be done by pressing the charge button, whereas pressing the tackle button will cause the goalkeeper to jump underneath an incoming player and collect the ball before he can make a shot.

Heading out of the goal for a corner

When the match is about to end soon with an unfavorable result for your team, and a corner occurs, you should try to take the goalkeeper to the other side of the field and back up other players in the penalty zone. In order to move your goalkeeper to the other side of the field, play the finesse modifier button, trying to fight for a possibly best position for your player. In case of a failed attempt to score a goal, return to your nominal position as fast as possible.

Watching your position

In order to avoid making an easy mistake, and to remain ready at all times, should your opponent try a quick attack, it is worth keeping a ready position, just in case. If the goalkeeper is in a proper position, it will be signaled by a round marker appearing during a dangerous situation - you should follow the game's instructions, as it influences your grade, and helps you intervene correctly, when it is needed.
