Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

The flag of denmark is -

[KeyserSoze]

Are you sure about SP just at 82?
The few times I've seen him playing for Augsburg he consistenly attempts powerful long shots.
Ain't sure if Long Ranger is required, but SP looks like 85 at least. He even scored a peach with a scorching shot with the outside of his right foot against Gladbach last Saturday.

[Major general Woof]

He can easily be mid-yellow SP. Perhaps even green swerve. And he scored an outside curve against Paderborn, too.

[Kruger13]

Agree with higher SP (85 at least as KeyserSoze post).
Btw, playing as a kind of box to box midfielder i request higher STA as an option, something around 83-84 and 3/3 or 3/2 for ATT/DEF awareness. He seems to be a good promising player, ideal to replace Schweinsteiger in the near future.

[Relja]

I watched him many times for Schalke and Denmark u21 and i closely watched him against Serbia last year, and i know him well. After the first half against Mutd i came for the first time to see his set and he's much better than this stats are saying.

First of all, his tw is his biggest quality. Tactically already classy player, fantastic without the ball, always an option for a build up play early, moving around to find a good position to recieve the ball. 71 can't be serious, he's already for 84 or even 85.

Att and def can also go up, especially att. 72 would be more realistic, def would be perfect on 69.

Long passing can reach the yellows, he's not a pin point passer most of the time, bit his diagonal long balls are really good, he's so good in that, something about 82 would be really good.

Response also shouldn't be on whites, in defensive sense he's quite responsive, he always wants to be close to the ball, and can be really aggressive. Can go up to 77.

Mentality also is too low, should be in range of high whites, low greens for the start.

Edit: i doubt he deserves a BTB card. He's probably a playmaking candidate.

These are some suggestions for the start, because he's so underrared so i wanted to at least highlight his main qualities.

[jurgens]

He is so fucking slow and unagile, his speed stats shouldn't even be in the 70's, same with agi.

[Rex]

What a player, really did well against Arsenal, defensively mostly, altough they only defended for most of the time. In possession he is so calm and simple and smart. He is always an option, and he is a leader really, he is talking a lot, and commanding the midfield with his gestures. Defensively, some brilliant interceptions, coverings, and tackles. In only one situation hr had a positional mistake, but even then he managed to fix it later. Potentially an orange TW player later in a career, altough i must agree with Jurgens. That 81 ts is way over top, he is also white for agility and acc.

[Ocrin]

Seems like there's a consensus regarding his speed stats, could someone make the change? Kinda looks like an oversight.

[anOKguy]

Should have the long shot card since he's always trying them and see his sa a bit better given how frequently he puts them on target in just about every game of his I see. Tries a lot and can usually cause the keeper problems through a good combination of power, accuracy, and swerve.

https://youtu.be/VRN98gvMyNY?t=1 such a great strike
https://youtu.be/N3dqppN5ktw?t=5 throwback to his Augsburg days
https://youtu.be/5yPRmRdOeu8?t=45 even further throwback, but just showing he's always had it in his game

[anOKguy]

https://youtu.be/wfPs6BGivPg?list=PLXEM ... iBSN9&t=58 dangerous
https://youtu.be/wfPs6BGivPg?list=PLXEM ... BSN9&t=115 again

He definitely requires the long shot star and I feel can sit 75 on ST and SA

[anOKguy]

I think his DS is more 75-76 than 81 for sure. He’s also very stiff and unagile.

[anOKguy]

He could be a candidate for 69-70 defense if he continues the way he has been playing. Been offering some really good covering and clean tackling. Wanting to leave it here for later consideration since I am watching them a lot recently. Might be a hair stronger as well.

[anOKguy]

Will get around to him more later as he’s one of their top players and very underrated in his own way. Very smart player who excels at winning the ball back very high up the pitch in the midfield and then making a simple pass to get the attacking movement started. He’s a very critical player for the side and does so much to bring order to the side. A clear beneficiary of his education under Pep despite never really playing during his time at Bayern. I remember the praise he had gotten and clearly that player spotted them is in there.

[anOKguy]

I’m a massive fan of this player, here’s some notes from discord:

Thinks I posted:
I have 87 SP on my sheet
72/73 defense, 78 MENT, 84 TW, 81/82 RESP, 82 SPS, 83 LPS
Potentially 74/75 aggression
He’s doing a shit ton of defensive work covering excellently next to more offensive partners
Like he’s not just breaking up play
A few players need defense downgrades, this guy really grew in the last 9 months or so
He was elite for a CM in defensive work really
Like he’s definitely solid to be a mid table teams functional DM like he was in the season and then he’s elite as a functioning double pivot for defensive duties


From general section:
Me: Josev, y’all signed Højbjerg! He’s a good player
Rob: Højbjerg was great
Ocrin: he's pretty good but when i see him play i can't help but focus on his flaws. Man is SLOW
Rob: Bayern player that they let go. Yes
Me: yeah he’s so smart
Rob: he’s slower than basically anyone lol
Me: great pressing and intelligence. But my god
Ocrin: he’s legit mid 60s ts
Me: I think in my file I have 68 TS. And that was somewhat optimistic. Like he’s great covering and pressing somehow. He won the ball up high up the pitch so much
Ocrin: yeah
Me: And then he gets the ball where it should go
Ocrin: and he's got very clear strengths. he's a good shooter
Me: yeah absolutely
Ocrin: oddly enough, a good dribbler too
Me: he keeps it simple. He can hit hard passes. But keeps plays simple. Will be useful in Spurs since they sort of need that. Get Lo Celso the ball and Ndombele if he’s around
Ocrin: he’s like Xhaka but not retarded
Me: I wish that wasn’t wrong. But I can’t deny that. He’s a much better defender... because he’s not retarded like Xhaka Yeah. You’re on point with that. He needs a few tweaks still.

was hojberg set under-rated?
everytime i see him
and im watching irggt now
hes so fucking slow its ridiculos
and i dont see anything stand out thats particularly note worthy
does he have great stamina
or tw
or is he really strong?
he just looks quite effecient and capable, but nothing imeditaly stands out other than lack of speed
and agi

josevToday at 10:30 PM
well he's actually not that terribly slow when chasing after the ball over the distance in a straight line, but he's so cumbersome on the ball he can't even demonstrate it when punting, doesn't try to kick it ahead by a lot, and really basic da, might go lower tbh
i'm really impressed with his tw and workrate at tottenham, he moves a lot and in a smart way so yeah i'd say these are his defining qualities, and hecs responsiveness kind of compensates the atrocious agility and acceleration, he gets exposed all the time 1 on 1, he looks to avoid being challenged in that way, but against city it was clear how much he struggles with it
abd he's not really strong for his size but adequate
agility is really awful, even 65 might be a tad roo high
very nice passer too but nothing exceptional
josev replied to f9Today at 10:32 PM
nice, looks very close to what i'd give him
overseerToday at 10:33 PM
thanks
yeah i noticed he seems really big and brutish
but he seems reluctant to use it
i guess he cant commit well due to agility
wtf
he has 77! average passes
thats fucking insane
thats gotta be highest in the world this season for a mid?
josevToday at 10:37 PM
could be
overseerToday at 10:37 PM
id say by some distance
josevToday at 10:37 PM
he's in a really fine form
overseerToday at 10:37 PM
those are insane numbers
I think thiago was usually only around 70 or so
josevToday at 10:37 PM
probably third most important player after kane and son
overseerToday at 10:37 PM
rodrigo is 90
but thats city
hojberg 77
locatelli is 85 wtf
fabian ruiz 74
parejo 75
frenkie 71
all those players in 90s
hes that good?
josevToday at 10:41 PM
tw-wise? i'm not sure, i'm haven't been studying them closely to compare
but he's surely among the best i've seen at tottenham recently in that regard
maybe i could compare him to eriksen's movement quality in his best years though completely different roles
overseerToday at 10:46 PM
interesting
ill go through a few mathches
not watch a few mathces
just skip around at random times, see his movement
get an idea for it
josevToday at 10:47 PM
pau attention to kane too if you can
tw i mean
i wonder what you'd say about it
overseerToday at 10:48 PM
if its too hard to see i wont bother, some players its really fucking hard to see
wtahcing shefield for norwoods was fucking awful
they never had the damn ball
cfs tend to be hard to see unless you watch alot
but its alot easier with dm/cm
josevToday at 10:50 PM
yeah, i see what you mean
i wanted to up him to something like 84 for this season, it's exceptional for a cf but i think it's justified in his case. though i'm not sure and it may be him just playing deeper overall
overseerToday at 10:54 PM
id say go for it if
also, im notcing hojberg can looking quite fast lol
he has horrendus speed most of time though
not sure if its acc or agi
hes just sluggish as hell
josevToday at 10:55 PM
i'd say agi
acc could look decebt in some cases
overseerToday at 10:56 PM
so is he under-rated?
hes extremly low on psd
josevToday at 10:56 PM
kind of but he would ve overrated generally speaking if we go much higher
i've just updated to 70 ts to replicate thatbhe's at least capable
left acc where it was though
