He's Good, But Not Great

By Kogie13, 21-04-2021

So I had been on the fence about Schmeichel. I am a big United fan and was in need of an Icon keeper for the type of squad I use. Rather than dump my fodder for his SBC, I just did his loan SBC and tried him out for the duration of his loan. What I found is that he was very good. He made most saves you'd expect any keeper to make. He was very good coming out and making saves similar to other sweeper keepers like Neuer and Ederson. All in all, Schmeichel was good and just like most good keepers in the game. But that was the problem. He was good just like most other keepers in the game. He wasn't other-worldly like his stats would suggest. He still gave up goals you'd think he'd save just like most keepers do. There wasn't anything special that made him a must-have keeper. I feel I would've had similar results had I used far cheaper keepers like Neuer, Alisson, Courtois, etc. All in all, PIM Schmeichel is a good keeper and I would definitely recommend him for anyone that desperately needs an Icon keeper for some reason or for anyone who's doing a United P&P squad (he's definitely better than De Gea in my opinion). However, if someone is looking for just a generally quality keeper for their squad, I would just go with any top-notch keeper like the ones I mentioned which will be far cheaper than Schmeichel. It's not because he flat out sucks as he wasn't bad for me. He's just too overvalued for how he plays, which is why I feel many have been disappointed in him.

Decent Keeper without big specialities

So first of all i went with Pope IF und Alisson in past.Alisson had a good sweeper keeper playstyle and Pope was very good in 1v1.Now i wanted to have a decent keeper who saves shots from every angle and every position.

Peter Schmeichel Review

While Peter Schmeichel was not the best keeper I have seen, he has been amazing for me personally. I have used other GKs in the past like Alisson, Nick Pope, etc. He has had a drastic performance compared to my last GK Alisson. He has pretty well-rounded stats for a GK. In the last 20 games, I have used Peter Schmeichel he has been amazing letting only a few goals in from time to time. I have seen many reviews on him and pe...

Peter Schmeichel

Pls dont just dont

I made this sbc hoping i would have that position filled till the end of the game but after 20WL games i realised this was the biggest mistake i made. He is just bad. He has all this fancy stats but cant win a 1vs1 using 82 rated Neto would be better, and that isnt all. On corners he cant grab the ball, he is so slow and with a simple ball roll the ball is past him and a easy goal. He is 193c...
