Pathway Options Comparison
At Level 2, you must choose between two distinct options. Option 1 focuses on mobility and close-range stopping, adding the 1v1 Close Down PlayStyle and Sweeper Keeper role. Option 2 focuses on distribution and positioning, adding the Long Ball Pass PlayStyle, weak foot upgrades, and Ball Playing role.
| Player | Option 1 Meta Score | Option 2 Meta Score |
|---|---|---|
| Robert Sánchez | 84.6 (GK - Sweeper Keeper) | 79.6 (GK - Ball Playing) |
| Anatoliy Trubin | 84.3 (GK - Sweeper Keeper) | 82.9 (GK - Ball Playing) |
| Berke Özer | 84.3 (GK - Sweeper Keeper) | 83.3 (GK - Ball Playing) |
| Vanja Milinković-Savić | 84.3 (GK - Sweeper Keeper) | 82.0 (GK - Ball Playing) |
| Paulo Gazzaniga | 83.8 (GK - Sweeper Keeper) | 83.8 (GK - Ball Playing) |
| Nick Pope | 83.8 (GK - Sweeper Keeper) | 83.4 (GK - Sweeper Keeper) |
Best pathway per player: level 2 option 1 is best for 6 of 6 players. Option 1 consistently yields a higher Meta Score across the board because the specific boosts to reflexes and the 1v1 Close Down PlayStyle heavily influence how well a goalkeeper performs in-game.
Best Players to Evolve
Meta Score is FUTMind's rating of how well a card plays in game in a given role with its best chemistry style, where higher is better. Here are the top players you should consider putting into the evolution.
First is Robert Sánchez, an 80 OVR Common goalkeeper from Como 1907 and Spain. Before the upgrade, he has a Meta Score of 81.2 with a Cat chemistry style. After Level 1 he reaches 81 OVR with an 81.6 Meta Score, and after Level 2 he hits an 84.6 Meta Score using Option 1, which makes him a GK - Sweeper Keeper with the 1v1 Close Down PlayStyle. Costing just 850 coins on console and 950 on PC, he represents fantastic value.
Next up is Anatoliy Trubin, an 80 OVR Common player from SL Benfica and Ukraine. He starts with an 81.0 Meta Score using a Cat chemistry style. His progression takes him to an 81.9 Meta Score after Level 1 and peaks at an 84.3 Meta Score with Option 1 at Level 2, granting him the GK - Sweeper Keeper role and 1v1 Close Down PlayStyle. Priced at 700 coins on console and 650 on PC, he is an affordable and reliable option.
Another great choice is Berke Özer, starting as a 79 OVR Common goalkeeper for LOSC and Türkiye with an 80.7 Meta Score under a Cat chemistry style. He climbs to an 81.4 Meta Score after Level 1 and reaches an 84.3 Meta Score at Level 2 via Option 1. For 700 coins on both console and PC, he gains the 1v1 Close Down PlayStyle and the GK - Sweeper Keeper role.
Then we have Vanja Milinković-Savić, an 80 OVR Common player from SSC Napoli and Serbia. He begins with an 80.4 Meta Score using a Cat chemistry style, moves to 80.8 after Level 1, and finishes with an 84.3 Meta Score on Option 1 at Level 2. Costing 900 coins on console and 650 on PC, he secures the GK - Sweeper Keeper role and 1v1 Close Down PlayStyle.
Moving down the list, Paulo Gazzaniga is a 77 OVR Common goalkeeper from Girona FC and Argentina. He starts with a 79.8 Meta Score using a Cat chemistry style, reaches 81.3 after Level 1, and caps out at an 83.8 Meta Score on Level 2 Option 1. Priced at 650 coins on console and 950 on PC, he gains the GK - Sweeper Keeper role and 1v1 Close Down PlayStyle.
Finally, Nick Pope, the 78 OVR Common player representing Newcastle Utd and England, starts with an 80.7 Meta Score under a Cat chemistry style. He hits an 81.4 Meta Score after Level 1 and concludes with an 83.8 Meta Score on Level 2 Option 1. With a price tag of 2200 coins on console and 3100 on PC, he is the most expensive option but brings solid Premier League links.
