93 - Icon Moment
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.
A Schmeichel with Glove, who's got nearly every stat on 99 would be perfect for a decent price.
First of all i have to say that im not disappointed with him. I played now 13 wl matches and he never did something silly.
What I experienced is, that he is absolutly not good in catching balls mid air after a corner.
He seems to be too weak to get past some players expecially in corner situations.
Despite that, he made 2 3 brilliant saves and let a few good shots in.
Maybe a 82 Pope (hate him) would have saves 1 or 2 of these but who knows.
But one big pro compared to someone like Pope is that he always trys to clear the ball in a way, no opponents player can reach the second ball.
The thing that impressed me most beside his clearences is his way to pass.
Nearly every high through ball finds his mates and he easily outplayed the whole opponents defense with 1 ball multiple times.
Thats a big pro. On the ball hes superb.
Overall I think if you got some players left like me you can definatly do his SBC.
Long balls
Icon
Good saves
Best clearences so far (no second ball goal)
Kinda bad at corners
Not THE BEST goalkeeper (but definatly a really good one)
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 people said things like "He is the worst GK", I have found this not true. I prefer him over any other keeper that I have used so far, especially in an Objective.

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.
Diving Save
Reflexes
Getting out of Goal to Make Saves
Kicking
Links (If You Absolutely Need an Icon GK)
Gives up Goals that Should Seemingly Be Saved
Speed
Lack of Traits
Incredibly Overvalued (He's solid but isn't anything special compared to far cheaper keepers)
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 193cm tall and weighs 92kg but he feels like a fridge he just doesnt go down, if the striker shoots it low 100% its going in. So in conclusion just skip this sbc, sabe your fodder for something nice and i feel bad for the souls that did him thinking he would be a great keeper. DONT DO HIM!
He is an incon.
He as 2 hands and 2 feet.
Sometimes he saves the ball.
Decent passer.
Slow.
Clunky.
Cant make a save if his life depends on it.
Fake stats.
Just mad trash overall.
Hey guys,
So first of all, this is my first review on a player and probably a random review. I did the Schmeichel SBC for about 200k and tbh I think it is a very good price. People probably think that a 93 rated prime moments Schmeichel would be very good considered his stats. The truth is he is bad and let me explain why. He has a really strange animation, he falls like a stone and he is making himself all the time small while reaching the Ball. I consider goals I wouldn't with a Neuer TOTY, Pope or even with Kevin Trapp. He has really good stats and because he is an Icon you can use him in any squads. Unfortunately, he is bad. In addition to that, he sucks after a corner because every time I took him out of the goal he immediately ran back into the goal.
But I should also mention that he was pretty decent in 1v1 situations for me and he also was pretty good facing pens. I always had the problem that i got the right corner but my goalkeeper just didn't want to jump to the corner in time and he did that pretty fast.
