Benedikt Gimber 

In this season's scout report on Benedikt Gimber, Heidenheim's stalwart centre back, we see a player whose game is built on tenacious ball recovery and effective progressive carrying. Gimber's knack for regaining possession is commendable, providing a solid backbone for his team. His style of play is characterised by a robust approach to defensive duties, although there's room for improvement in 1v1 and penalty area defending, suggesting a need for sharper positioning or timing in crucial moments. Progressive passing isn't his strongest suit, but he's more than capable of advancing play through carrying the ball forward, adding a dynamic element to his defensive repertoire. While his attacking output isn't his primary focus, any contribution to goal threat is a welcome bonus for Heidenheim. At 28, Gimber's blend of experience and recovery prowess makes him a reliable figure in the Bundesliga defence, though honing his passing and defensive duels could elevate his game to new heights.
