Scout report

Rising starAttacking midfielder

F. Wirtz is a 23-year-old attacking midfielder at Liverpool, rated 95.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 6th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An emerging talent, he has been a regular starter this season (78.4% of available minutes). He brings 0.3 goal contributions per 90 (0.19 goals, 0.11 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wirtz.

Judged on this season alone, Wirtz graded 36 — a solid campaign that ranks top 37% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League, on 5 goals and 3 assists in 33 appearances (0.3 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 66 → 36). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has held fairly steady, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 96, top 5% of the 73 attacking midfielders in the Premier League. At 23 Wirtz is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 115 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Wirtz missed 4 games through injury (back, injury, illness) out of roughly 38 this season. The 33 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.

  • Defensive numbers. Modest 1.76 defensive actions per 90 for the position.

Outlook

With a Rating of 95.8, Wirtz carries the 3rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Premier League (top 5%). In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.3 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead. With this floor already at 23, the ceiling gets tested by a step up in level — one to track.
