FIFA 16 is coming. And just to tease you ahead of its release later in September, game-makers EA Sports have spent the last few days releasing new tidbits of information.

There's been a demo. There's a brand new top 50. And now, they've confirmed the top 20 rated goalkeepers for the new version of the game. It's an exciting time you know, especially given the goalkeeping AI seems to have gotten a whole lot better in comparison to last year's version.

One goalkeeping legend has again made it into the 90's for his overall rating, but there's been some major shuffling (in terms of downgrades and upgrades) when it comes to the order to the men who follow. 

England's Premier League is strongly populates the top 20, with a number of high-class goalkeepers given generous ratings to reflect their qualities. Leagues as far reaching as Turkey and Portugal (okay, that's not too far) also have representation, so it's an encouraging sign that if you're looking to make a more obscure Ultimate Team, there's a solid basis to build off in goal.

Read on for the top 20 goalkeepers in the world for FIFA 16, according to the darlings at EA Sports.

20. Jasper Cillessen - 82

Club: Ajax

Jasper Cillessen was earmarked as Manchester United's successor to David de Gea over the summer. But of course, he never left. Mind you, if the Spaniard does move on in future, the speculation will mount over the Ajax man once more.

He's something of an unknown quantity to most Premier League fans, but yeah, he's actually pretty good. Cillessen has made FIFA 16's top 20 goalkeepers, and is the best-rated Eredivisie goalkeeper on the game.

Good handling and positioning statistics particularly show off the player's qualities.
