Caps & goals this season.
J. Mæhle is a 29-year-old central midfielder at VfL Wolfsburg, rated 48.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 236th of 325 in the Bundesliga. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (67.4% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.91 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mæhle.
Judged on this season alone, Mæhle graded 41 — a solid campaign that ranks top 38% of the 35 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 3.91 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 20 → 41). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 49, 26th of 35 of the 35 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 29 Mæhle is in his prime years, and a market index of 44.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Mæhle missed 14 games through injury (shoulder) out of roughly 36 this season. The 18 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 48.8, Mæhle carries the 26th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga of 35, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (VfL Wolfsburg finished 16th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.91 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

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 (~81), then tapers with age. At 29, Mæhle sits on 44.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mæhle's projected Rating — 48.8 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.
