In-game feel & playstyle
Casillas is a Greats of the Game ICON goalkeeper rated 95 OVR, and like every icon keeper he is judged on goalkeeping merit rather than the outfield meta score the engine spits out. At 95 overall with one of the most decorated real-world reputations in the position's history, San Iker gives you the kind of safe, dependable presence in goal that lets you trust your shot-stopper in big moments. He is built around reflexes and command of his box, the trademarks that defined his career, so the in-game feel is steady and reassuring rather than flashy.
Strengths
- ✅ 95 OVR, a top-tier icon goalkeeper rating that puts him among the best keepers you can field in FC 26.
- ✅ 5-star weak foot, meaning distribution and goal kicks off either foot are clean and reliable.
- ✅ Spain nation link, easy chemistry alongside the deep pool of Spanish and La Liga legends and current stars.
- ✅ Icons league tag, links to every other icon in your squad regardless of their original club or league.
Weaknesses
- ❌ Untradeable / price unavailable, you cannot simply buy him on the market, so acquisition depends on packs or SBC luck.
- ❌ Icon GK roster competition, FC 26 offers several elite icon and special keepers, so a 95 base icon is not automatically the single best option.
- ❌ No tradeable value, since he is likely untradeable he locks coins or pack pulls with no resale, unlike a market keeper you can flip later.
Best position, chemistry style & squads
His only position is GK, so build him as your starting goalkeeper. For a chemistry style, a Cat style suits a keeper who wants better diving, handling and reflexes, while a Glove style boosts handling, kicking and reflexes if you value distribution and his 5-star weak foot. With the Icons league tag and a Spain nationality, he slots cleanly into any squad running Spanish or La Liga links, and connects instantly to other icons in an all-legends build.
Final verdict & ratings
Buy in if you want a 95-rated icon keeper with elite real pedigree and a 5-star weak foot for clean distribution; he is a genuinely strong number one. Skip if you already own a higher-rated special or TOTY goalkeeper, or if you would rather spend on a tradeable keeper you can later flip, since Casillas is likely untradeable and ties up resources with no resale.
Conclusion
San Iker is a rock-solid 95 icon goalkeeper who will rarely let you down. If he lands in your club, start him with confidence.
