In fact based on current form and being familiar with Bayern defense, I will take Ulreich as 3rd keeper
Clean sheets are only partly an achievement of a goaly. Find it strange to use this data as evidence of a goalkeeper's form.
it's a nice stat to have for any keeper but of course it isn't everything. I don't think Ulreich will make the WC squad anyways. Based on selections it seems between Leno and Trapp for 3rd keeper.
we seem headed towards having 3 German Keepers in the CL SF. Barca-ter Stegen Bayern-Ulreich Liverpool-Karius Karius keeps a clean sheet vs Man City. It's his 6th in 9 games but today was also his 4th consecutive shutout in CL.

0 - @LorisKarius (@LFC_Deutsch) and @mterstegen1 (@FCBarcelona) have kept the most clean sheets in this year's @ChampionsLeague campaign. Germany. pic.twitter.com/rhh7x9fzmI— OptaFranz (@OptaFranz) April 5, 2018
I've always been a big fan of Karius. Clad to see him playing so well at the top level. I would much rather see him as 3rd keeper with the NT than Leno or Trapp.
even Ulreich deserves it more. Anyway you look at it Trapp deserves nothing since he's not even the #1 keeper of his club.
Luckily it’s only the third keeper .... but yes again I would say Ulrich would have been a good choice especially for the fact that he knows Hummels , boa and Kimmich basically our starting line up in defence . Would just make sense wouldn’t it . Anyway I know loew is actually doing a great job but sometimes I juts feel he is not radical enough . He plays it very very safe ... and I feel one or two calculated risks like taking ulrich as third keeper can’t harm .
that is the argument to having Ulreich in there, he knows 75% of the defensive block and is performing. But yeah based on Low's past actions seems likely to stick with Trapp or Leno. Trapp isn't even 1st choice and Low played him the full game vs Brazil, he was supposed to give the 2nd half to Leno but instead kept Trapp the whole game. I feel like it's too late for anyone new, the time to try out new keeper was the Brazil/Spain games. One way I can see a new keeper in forcing his way is if Neuer is deemed unfit for the WC which opens up a spot. Or if Karius for example were to perform and go to the end in CL which could help his chances.
Looks like Karius is winning more and more people over. https://www.joe.co.uk/sport/loris-karius-liverpool-everton-171477 https://www.thesportreview.com/2018/04/everton-liverpool-fc-redknapp-karius/
19 - Goalkeeper Loris Karius attempted the most passes of any Liverpool player in the first half vs Man City (19).

Barca's blunder ruined our chances to get 3 German Keepers in CL SF. although RB Salzburg's success gave us a 3rd German Keeper in European SF. 34 year old and captain of Salzburg Alexander Walke who's never even played 1BL. His whole career has been German 4th division, 2BL and from 2010-present in Austrian Bundesliga. would be a feat for him if he manages to win the EL, way to cap off a career that's towards the end.
Karius with his 8th clean sheet of the EPL season, already in the top 10. Having only played 15 games, everyone else has played double or more the amount of games, lol. meanwhile Jannik Huth got trashed 7-0 in the Eredivisie, for one, Sparta are one of the worst team in the league, Sparta conceded 4 out of the 7 while being 10 men. Another 5th was an own goal. And they were also missing 4 defenders to red card suspensions and injuries.
Odysseas Vlachodimos keeps another clean sheet in the Greek Superliga, currently in 2nd place in clean sheets while playing for a midtable team and only 1 behind the top guy who plays for a team in top 4. anyways, all reports have him as moving to Benfica in the Summer. I saw some recent Greek reports saying that he has a shot at #1 because the current #1 isn't really convincing and the other keeper is an 18 year old. With Benfica in contention for CL next season, that could add another CL German keeper.... if he goes to Portugal, it basically means that Serie A, Italy is the only big league with no German keepers. Although there is tons of interest for Bayer's Leno from Italy. we pretty much have keepers all over Europe including ones in Academies or reserves!
50 - Sven Ulreich will make his 50th appearance for @FCBayernEN in all competitions. Arrived. #B04FCB #DFBpokal pic.twitter.com/nT38tJsbae— OptaFranz (@OptaFranz) April 17, 2018 986356793151500288 is not a valid tweet id outside of Kahn and Neuer, Ulreich seems to be the rare guy that is actually working out at Bayern. The other keepers in recent times all had issues. Although one could say that Ulreich going to Bayern older and more experienced was the key difference compared to the others who tried/failed but were young.
Imo, the ranking should be 1. MatS 2. Ulreich (has the experience with 3/4 of the German back line and is in great form and International class) 3. Neuer (the brutal truth)
I have to agree, but I think we really need to consider Neuer being dropped. I don't think Jupp will want to upset the team chemistry and momentum by dropping Ulreich at this point. I expect him to start both CL semi-finals, and the dfb final as well. Honestly Ulreich has earned the chance to play in the big matches. He's been sensation for us since Jupp took over. In the end, Neuer may only have a handful of BL matches before the WC. He has been training with the ball, but has not resumed full team training yet.
It's too late for Karius. Ulreich's big bonus is that he will play with the same guys in the NT defense as he does in München. Karius should be called up after the Worldcup, though.
