Decent GK that you can find at good prices or ending their contracts.

Best Deals in FIFA 16 Career Mode
Best Deal: SAMIR HANDANOVIC
Nationality: Slovenia
Club (first season): Inter
Rating: 83
Potential (1): 83
Age: 31
De Gea is obviously the best deal if you get him for free. However, it will be easier to close an agreement for Inter’s Samir Handanovič. He is a top goalkeeper that will keep you goal safe.
Best Alternative: STEVE MANDANDA
Nationality: France
Club (first season): Marseille
Rating: 83
Potential (1): 83
Age: 30
Mandanda is one of the best goalkeepers playing in Ligue 1. And the good news is that he is ending his contract with Marseille.
Second Best Alternative: DIEGO BENAGLIO
Nationality: Switzerland
Club (first season): VfL Wolfsburg
Rating: 81
Potential (1): 82
Age: 32
There are several experienced goalkeepers ending their contract in the end of the first season. Victor Valdés, Júlio César and Federico Marchetti are all good additions to most of the clubs but Benaglio has something that differentiates him from the others: his height.
#4: VICTOR VALDÉS
Nationality: Spain
Club (first season): Manchester United
Rating: 82
Potential (1): 82
Age: 33
Valdés has not been handed a squad number for the season and neither was his name on United’s Champions League squad list sent to UEFA. He needs a new club to play. Can you pay his wages ?
#5: JÚLIO CÉSAR
Nationality: Brazil
Club (first season): SL Benfica
Rating: 82
Potential (1): 82
Age: 36
Júlio César is the oldest goalkeeper of this shortlist but he could not be left out of it. He is in form in real life and we believe that he will be in form in your career mode.
#6: FEDERICO MARCHETTI
Nationality: Italy
Club (first season): Lazio
Rating: 80
Potential (1): 80
Age: 32
If you want to build a decent cheap squad, why not signing Marchetti ? He is good enough to keep your goal safe. His age is not a problem.
#7: GUILHERME
Nationality: Brazil
Club (first season): Lokomotiv
Rating: 78
Potential (1): 78
Age: 29
The Brazilian goalkeeper has good stats and may be a good player to your team. Especially if you do not have to pay anything for him.
#8: EMILIANO VIVIANO
Nationality: Italy
Club (first season): Sampdoria
Rating: 78
Potential (1): 78
Age: 29
Once again, a Serie A goalkeeper. Viviano is tall and has a great positioning. Pay attention to him because his contract is valid until 2016. After that, it can be yours.
#9: ROMAN WEIDENFELLER
Nationality: Germany
Club (first season): Borussia Dortmund
Rating: 79
Potential (1): 79
Age: 35
He is a slow balanced goalkeeper, perfect for who doesn’t want to spend many money. Don’t expect to play many seasons with him.
#10: ADRIÁN
Nationality: Spain
Club (first season): West Ham
Rating: 78
Potential (1): 78
Age: 28
Adrián is who closes this list. He is not an awesome goalkeeper, but for free you can’t ask much more.
