Ben Wilmot is carving out a formidable niche for himself at Stoke City with his disciplined style of play as a centre back in the Championship. While his defensive prowess shines through with exceptional ball recovery skills, ranking him amongst the league's elite, his ability to retain possession is a notable weakness. His struggle with passing accuracy further complicates Stoke's build-up from the back. Despite this, Wilmot exhibits a penchant for carrying the ball forward, allowing him to influence transitions effectively. However, aerial duelling isn't his forte, a significant drawback for a central defender. He sees a substantial amount of action in the midfield and defensive thirds, reflecting his involvement in intercepting plays and progressing the ball, albeit with an aggressive edge that occasionally leads to yellow cards. His resilience and dedication on the pitch are promising, signalling potential for growth in his style of play, but refining a few key aspects could elevate his game to greater heights.
