Pepe Reina

[PES Stats Database]

We where not getting anywhere, so I've changed his stats to what I feel appropriate.

Agree with them all

His Jump could go higher, as could Cech's. Whilst Pepe is tall, his leap is absolutely magnificent and I feel that he could easily be higher than the current 86. Heck, I'm wondering whether an 89-90 would be more suitable.

I don't know. I think he struggles at claiming crosses sometimes and a higher jump would make him excellent in this area, perhaps lower balance because he is often not very dominant in the box and gets quite easily outmuscled.

As I said in the Sergio Romero thread, I probably opt for an 88 for Reina's Jump at the moment. But it does seem odd how we have most keepers in the low 80s in this area (I do realise that Reina doesn't have a low 80, but that's not pertinent to my general point).

[21-Lucas-21]

For his jump:

Take saves like the long rangers from Spurs, the free kick at bolton, the long ranger from Debrecen. These are all examples of Reina saving a hard fast shot from the top corner (or even crossbar it's that high ). Considering his height, this is incredible, and i've seen the likes of Van der Sar struggle to get to these shots despite their huge frame.

Can his LPS go up ?
Akinfeev now sits at 70, I really don't see why Reina can't have the same value or even higher.

[fishdalf]

I'm always back and forth as to who deserves higher, but i'd definately have them even for now.

You could do that, but it serves no purpose. Ranking the LPS in the manner that we do for keepers is purely aesthetical and it doesn't have an affect in-game. But for the purposes of the ladder, I agree.

His attack in here is 39, and in the game its 40
Whereas all other keepers are rated at 30
I was just wondering whats the reason behind this,, not to make a big deal about it

[BigStu]

becuase he is so good at setting up attacks with his goal kicks/clearences, thats also why the high FKA

But wasn't there a discussion and we all agreed that FKA is redundant for GK and should not be use to rate his ability at pumping the ball upfield ?

[devileh]

There was a discussion but I don't remember "everyone" reaching a consensus.
I'm very much for a higher FKA for keepers of Reina's type.

Has signed a new six-year contract at Anfield:

Great Move from the Reds

[samsonitto]

I think his goal keeping skills have to go up to even 90, because he never drops the ball these days, he catches it even when ball has a lot of pace on it.

[BigStu]

i agree he never drops it, in fact i would say he has the best handling in the league and should sit on 90

[Vandeach]

No, Reina does not deserve a 90 for goalkeeper skills, whilst his his shot-stopping abilities are no doubt fantastic and his handling has vastly improved, he is not secure enough to warrant such a high value for his Keeper Skills, Reina most certainly still has a tendency to punch and parry and I think a 90 is just too high of a value to give to a goalkeeper who can still at times like uncertain. On another note, his Jump could probably go up by two points, he really does have a magnificent leap, certainly among the best in the league. I also have his agility a point higher, but thats negligible.
