Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wendel.
Judged on this season alone, Wendel graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 24th of 29 of the 29 centre-forwards in the Primeira Liga, on 1 goal and 2 assists in 13 appearances (0.294 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 6 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 52, 16th of 29 of the 29 centre-forwards in the Primeira Liga. At 25 Wendel is in his prime years, and a market index of 20 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
1 goal in 13 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 2 assists for 3 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 52.3, Wendel carries the 16th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Primeira Liga of 29 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.29 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 25, Wendel sits on 20, at or near its peak. The blue line is Wendel's projected Rating — 52.3 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.
