Mile Svilar

Key strength: Shot-stopping

Shot-stopper

In a remarkable paradox that defines AS Roma's turbulent season, 26-year-old Serbian goalkeeper Mile Svilar stands as the immovable force behind a survival mission from the depths of 20th place. Despite the club's precarious league position, Svilar has been the architect of a stunning 5-game winning streak, playing every single minute—540 in total—across 6 league appearances. The €35 million-rated shot-stopper, wearing the iconic No. 99 shirt, has transformed into Ivan Juric's undisputed choice, relegating seasoned competitors Pierluigi Gollini and Devis Vásquez to the sidelines. What sets Svilar apart is his exceptional 55-rated distribution—rare for his position—which turns defensive pressure into attacking opportunity with sweeper-keeper precision. Shielded by Gianluca Mancini and Mario Hermoso, this Serbia international embodies the modern goalkeeper: physically dominant, technically assured, and mentally unshakeable. Each clean sheet inches Roma toward salvation—and cements Svilar's status as the long-term foundation between the posts at a club desperate for stability.
