Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Engels.
Judged on this season alone, Engels graded 31 — a solid campaign that ranks top 33% of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership, on 5 goals, 3 assists and 2.238 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 31). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 53, top 5% of the 40 defensive midfielders in the Premiership. At 22 Engels is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 30.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 8 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 12) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 5 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 52.5, Engels carries the 2nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premiership (top 5%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 1.9×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 22, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.

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 (~33), then tapers with age. At 22, Engels sits on 30.9, still climbing toward its peak. The blue line is Engels's projected Rating — 52.5 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.
