5. Manuel Neuer (Bayern Munich)

As if you needed another reason to pick the German giants as a firm FIFA favourite, the towering 6'4" frame of Manuel Neuer makes the decision easier. Last year, Neuer fought off stiff competition from Man Utd's David de Gea to become the best goalkeeper in the game, and he's all on his own in the Top 10 this time around.

The only changes to Manuel's stats come by way of a 2 point difference in diving and a further 2 point improvement on his overall speed. Everything else, from reflexes and handling to kicking and positioning, remain the same as they were last year. More so than any other player, Neuer is the most consistent stalwart of the Top 10.

He's still 5th on the list and retains the same 92 rating. David de Gea's departure from the 10 best players in FIFA 18 means Neuer is the absolute best goalie your digital pounds could buy. At 31, he's also in his prime and totally unequaled in his position.

Still, EA obviously haven't been watching Bayern's shaky start to the Bundesliga campaign.
