Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 29 → 13). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 19. At 29 Wendel is in his prime years, and a market index of 1.3 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Zenit finished 2nd of 16 · a title-challenging side
3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 5 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 16) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 30.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 19.4 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.31 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
