Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wendel.
Judged on this season alone, Wendel graded 29 — a solid campaign that ranks top 34% of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Premier League, on 2 goals, 2 assists and 1.849 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 29 → 29). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 16th of 27 of the 27 defensive midfielders in the Premier League. At 28 Wendel is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.9 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2022/23 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (1st 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 2 goals and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 27, Wendel carries the 16th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Premier League of 27. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.85 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× 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 (~5), then tapers with age. At 28, Wendel sits on 2.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Wendel's projected Rating — 27 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.
