An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (41.2% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Weinkauf.

Judged on this season alone, Weinkauf graded 3 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 15th of 18 of the 18 goalkeepers in the 2. Bundesliga, on 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 0). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 30, 15th of 18 of the 18 goalkeepers in the 2. Bundesliga. At 30 Weinkauf is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 5.6 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 7 appearances (14% of games). Keeping that many behind a lower-table side (14th of 18) — a side that concedes more — points to a busy, productive season between the posts.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 41.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 29.6, Weinkauf carries the 15th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the 2. Bundesliga of 18 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
