Christopher Trimmel, the veteran Austrian right midfielder of Union Berlin, continues to pose an enigmatic figure in the 2023-2024 Bundesliga season. At 37, his age might suggest a waning influence on the pitch, yet a deeper dive into his metrics tells a different tale. Notably, his progressive passing is exceptionally stellar, landing him in the top percentile of all his peers - a testament to his remarkable vision and execution in progressing the team's plays.
His ball retention skills are also admirable, hovering at a strong 70th percentile which underlines his relative immunity to easy dispossession despite his advanced years. Additionally, Trimmel shows an undeniable finesse with crosses, successfully making them 94.74% of the time, marking him as a crucial supplier for the team.
However, Trimmel's limitations are stark in the offensive department. His capacity as a threat to the goal is minimal, indicated by his percentile ranking in goal threat (5%), progressive carrying (5%), and shots per 90 (2.63%). His chance creation is also low, placing merely at 20%, which delineates his more restrained role in the system.
Despite these weaknesses, Trimmel's prowess in orchestrating passes and delivering quality crosses demonstrates his continued value as a key playmaker for his team. His ability to adapt and remain influential well into his late thirties is a testament to his craft and experience.
