Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wilmots.
Judged on this season alone, Wilmots graded 25 — a strong campaign that ranks top 30% of the 10 defensive midfielders in the Challenger Pro League, on 0 goals, 1 assist and 4.701 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 31 → 25). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 29, 9th of 10 of the 10 defensive midfielders in the Challenger Pro League. At 29 Wilmots is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.6 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · Liège finished 4th of 17 · an upper-table side
4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (4th of 17) 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
- Availability. On the pitch for 63.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Defensive volume. 4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 29.4, Wilmots carries the 9th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Challenger Pro League of 10. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.7 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
