News by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 29 Jun 2019 6 comments As FIFA 19 nears the end of its lifecycle, EA Sports has added one of the more fun objectives the game has seen: Sweeper Keepers. One of this week's FIFA Ultimate Team objectives tasks players with winning three online single matches using only goalkeepers. That's right - everyone on your team has to be a goalkeeper. Players have been having fun with this quirky objective ever since it went live. You end up having a bit of a laugh using terrible players against teams of terrible players in Ultimate Team, a mode usually reserved for the sweatiest teams you can imagine. Basically, Sweeper Keepers is Sunday League mode. So yeah, you see Tom Heaton up front and big Kasper Schmeichel playing at right back. It turns out Jordan Pickford's not bad as a defensive midfielder (actually he's very bad). Play German powerhouse Manuel Neuer on the left wing if you fancy it, rekindling memories of his desperate foray during the 2018 World Cup. Despite how playing goalkeepers in every position turns your team into a bunch of part-timers, players are somehow doing pretty incredible stuff with goalkeepers in the game. Here's a flashy overhead, for example. Just scored this with a Silver GK doing the GK objective. Wtf from r/FIFA To see this content please enable targeting cookies.

I get the impression the FIFA 19 community is a tad burnt out with the game and fed up with its many issues, so this more relaxed, silly objective feels like a breath of fresh air. FIFA 20 comes out in just two-and-a-half months, so FIFA 19 is on its last legs. Maybe EA's thinking now's the time to throw caution to the wind. I quite like it!
