Scout report

Squad depthBall-winning Attacking midfielder

P. Wimmer is a 25-year-old attacking midfielder at VfL Wolfsburg, rated 71.5 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 64th of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (50.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.17 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wimmer.

Judged on this season alone, Wimmer graded 26 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 35 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 4 goals and 3 assists in 25 appearances (0.386 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 27 → 26). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 72, top 23% of the 35 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 25 Wimmer is in his prime years, and a market index of 42.7 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Wimmer missed 7 games through injury (muscle, thigh, inactive) out of roughly 36 this season. The 25 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.

Goals / app

4 goals in 25 appearances (0.16 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. He also laid on 3 assists, so the all-round involvement reads 7 goal contributions (0.28 per appearance).

Strengths

  • Final-third output. 0.39 goal contributions per 90 (0.22 goals, 0.17 assists) — productive for the role.
  • Defensive volume. 4.08 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 50.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.

Outlook

With a Rating of 71.5, Wimmer carries the 8th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga (top 23%), 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. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.39 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. Doing it for a lesser side, he profiles as a value buy for a club higher up the table.
