9 clean sheets in 26 appearances (35% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 68.4% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

Age curve. At 39, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Solid = now · dashed = projected

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~4), then tapers with age. At 39, Schmeichel sits on 1.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Schmeichel's projected Rating — 11.7 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
