On long-term talent our Rating reads 32, top 11% of the 28 defensive midfielders in the Super League. At 25 Wenneng is in his prime years, and a market index of 9 reflects that trajectory.
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 29 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th 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 4 goals and 8 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 32, Wenneng carries the 3rd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Super League (top 11%). Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

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 (~9), then tapers with age. At 25, Wenneng sits on 9, at or near its peak. The blue line is Wenneng's projected Rating — 32 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.
