In-game feel & playstyle
This is a Team of the Year Gianluigi Donnarumma at 95 overall, and he plays exactly like the wall his frame suggests. At 196cm he covers the top corners that shorter keepers simply cannot reach, and his 87 reactions mean he is quick to parry rebounds and re-set for the follow-up shot. He carries a Premier League and Italy identity, so he slots naturally into the most stacked league in the game. For a goalkeeper, OVR, height, and reactions are what actually win you games, and on all three counts this card is near the top of the pile.
Strengths
- ✅ 95 OVR, an elite TOTY rating that translates into consistent, dependable saves across every facet of keeping.
- ✅ 196cm height, towering reach that smothers crosses and shuts down the top-corner finishes smaller keepers concede.
- ✅ 87 reactions, sharp enough to react to deflections and close-range rebounds before the striker can pounce.
- ✅ 5-star weak foot, clean distribution off either foot when you play it out from the back.
- ✅ Premier League & Italy links, easy chemistry inside the most popular league pool in FC 26.
Weaknesses
- ❌ 735K price tag, a heavy investment for a position many players prioritise last.
- ❌ TOTY rarity, a limited promo card, so expect this price to swing and the item to be hard to flip if you change keepers.
- ❌ GK only, no positional flexibility; he is a single-slot solution with no outfield fallback.
Best position, chemistry style & squads
He plays GK and only GK. The best chemistry style for a keeper of this quality is Basic or, if you want to lift his core saving attributes, the GK-focused Glove or Wall evolution-style boosts; in standard terms apply the keeper style that pushes diving, handling, and reflexes. Build around his Premier League and Italy links: pair him with a PL backline or an Italian spine to keep full chemistry effortless. With his 196cm reach already maxing out his coverage, prioritise reflexes and handling over anything else.
Final verdict & ratings
Buy this if you want a set-and-forget elite keeper and you have the coins to spare; a 95 TOTY Donnarumma at 196cm with 87 reactions is about as safe as the position gets in FC 26. Skip it if your budget is tight, since a far cheaper high-rated keeper delivers most of the same shot-stopping for a fraction of 735K. Goalkeeper is the position where spending big returns the least visible upgrade, so this is a luxury pick, not a necessity.
Conclusion
An elite, towering TOTY wall that does its job flawlessly. Just be honest about whether 735K coins for a goalkeeper is where you want your budget to go.
