Verdict

Peter Schmeichel (89) and Edwin van der Sar (88) are two Base Icon goalkeepers in FC 27 Ultimate Team. Schmeichel is the Sweeper Keeper with Far Throw as a PlayStyle+, while van der Sar is a classic Goalkeeper whose PlayStyle+ is 1v1 Close Down. Both are eligible for Evolutions.

Schmeichel is stronger in shot-stopping and distribution: REF 91 against 86, DIV 89 against 84, KIC 86 against 79, plus Footwork and the Far Throw PlayStyle+. Van der Sar leads in POS 92 against 87 and HAN 87 against 84, and is taller at 197 cm. He also has Deflector and Pinged Pass. Schmeichel suits a high line and quick counters; van der Sar suits a deep, positional style.

I would pick Schmeichel for most squads, thanks to his reflexes, diving and throwing. Choose van der Sar if you value positioning and handling above all and want the extra height.

Schmeichel wins 32 of 43 attributes.
