Output in context · Cardiff finished 2nd of 24 · a title-challenging side
2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 13 clean sheets across 40 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd of 24) 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 1 goal and 7 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 78.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.22 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Watch points
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 35, Wintle carries the 46th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the League One of 63. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.63 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).
