Maximilian Wöber Scout Report

Maximilian Wöber, young central defender for Gladbach, has had a standout season in 2023-2024. His stellar ability in ball recovery, sitting comfortably among the top 5% of Bundesliga defenders, has been a defining trait in Gladbach's formidable defense. His ability to create chances, elevating him to the top quartile of his peers, has been an underrated part of his play, showcasing Wöber's versatility in contributing to both defensive and offensive phases. However, an area of concern lies in his comparatively low ball retention percentile, where he resides in the bottom fifth of his peers. His penchant for losing possession could pose potential problems when faced with high-pressing teams. Despite this, his phenomenal goal efficiency and impressive assist rate are remarkable, placing him among the top 15% most goal efficient defenders and the top 6% highest assist providers respectively. In possession, Wöber sees the ball mostly in the midfield and defensive thirds, suggesting a deep-lying playmaker style. This backline orchestrator role maximizes his core strengths in interceptions (placed among the top 15% of his peers) and ball recoveries, vitally boosting Gladbach’s turnovers - though it is worth noting his interceptions sometimes come at the risk of conceding fouls. Nevertheless, this scout report affirms Maximilian Wöber's growing reputation as a cornerstone defender of the Bundesliga, one with promising potential and a keen eye for opportunity.
