Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Central defender

L. Mühl is a 29-year-old central defender at FC Winterthur, rated 22.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 201st of 233 on scout potential in the Super League. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (30.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 4.42 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mühl.

Judged on this season alone, Mühl graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 34th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Super League, on 0 clean sheets and 4.423 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 17 → 8). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 22, 30th of 37 of the 37 centre-backs in the Super League. At 29 Mühl is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.4 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

4.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume across 15 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (12th of 12) 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.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 30.9% 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 22.2, Mühl carries the 30th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Super League of 37, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC Winterthur finished 12th of 12) — 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 (4.42 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
