Manuel Neuer FC 28 Review — The Original Sweeper Keeper
Neuer invented the modern sweeper keeper role, and in FUT he still does it better than most. Elite reflexes, excellent speed for a GK, and strong kicking make him the complete goalkeeper. He commands his box, sweeps up through balls, and makes clutch saves when it matters. The Bayern wall.
