Patrick Wimmer Scout Report
Patrick Wimmer is a versatile young player, mainly operating as a left winger for Wolfsburg in Bundesliga. At just 22 years of age, Wimmer's most striking attribute is his goal threat, ranking in the 85th percentile. This aligns with his commendable goals per 90 and xG per 90 percentiles, 81.58 and 63.16 respectively, blatantly underlining his goal-scoring talent. Also, his goal efficiency rests comfortably above average at the 57.5th percentile. Yet, despite these rosy figures, it isn't sunshine and rainbows for Wimmer. His passing qualities seem to be a significant drawback with rather poor figures in ball retention, progressive passing and pass accuracy per 90 percentiles — 22.5, 17.5 and 26.32 respectively. His wintry tally in successful crosses per 90, finding itself in the cold crevices of the 3.95 percentile, is another disadvantage for a winger. Furthermore, his ball recovery percentile, at 27.5, suggests defensive contribution isn't this young Austrian's forte. However, he's made up for some of these losses by floating around the half mark percentile-wise in successful dribbles and progressive carrying. That said, Patrick Wimmer seems to be a deadly goal threat despite his distinct lacunae in traditional wing-play qualities. With age on his side, Wolfsburg might have a prodigious, if not unconventional, talent on their hands.
