P. Mwene is a 32-year-old central midfielder at FSV Mainz 05, rated 33.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 281st of 320 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (67.7% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.3 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mwene.

Judged on this season alone, Mwene graded 30 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 30th of 61 of the 61 central midfielders in the Bundesliga, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 2.302 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 38 → 30). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 34, 56th of 61 of the 61 central midfielders in the Bundesliga. At 32 Mwene is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Mwene missed 3 games through injury (muscle, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 29 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.

  • Availability. On the pitch for 67.7% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.

Watch points

  • Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 33.6, Mwene carries the 56th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Bundesliga of 61. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.3 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
