Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

H. Wahl is a 32-year-old central defender at FC St. Pauli, rated 36.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 281st of 325 on scout potential in the Bundesliga. A seasoned veteran, he has been an ever-present this season (90% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.2 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Wahl.

Judged on this season alone, Wahl graded 28 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 25th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga, on 4 clean sheets and 3.196 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 39 → 28). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 37, 48th of 52 of the 52 centre-backs in the Bundesliga. At 32 Wahl is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 11 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 30 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (18th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Availability. On the pitch for 90% 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 36.6, Wahl carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Bundesliga of 52, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (FC St. Pauli finished 18th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.2 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).
