Interesting read. I really like the way you visualize data to highlight Wirtz's strengths
About the potential lineup for the next season. I prefer playing him as the False 9 as he's good at playing between the lines, and also to keep Diaz/Gakpo and Szobo in the XI.
I also had a post to compare Wirtz against a few alternatives before the signing was announced, would love to have your 2 cents on it: https://substack.com/@nhatphammmm/p-165411275
Thanks, Nhat! Just saw your post, it's really nice. The False 9 role fits perfectly and keeps the creative players involved. We can expect many exciting combinations from Arne next season.

One of best pieces I've read on Wirtz. Not too sure I'm too happy with the idea of Nunez up front, though!
Thanks a lot, Paul! Not sure Nunez ends up there either, just a stand-in while we wait for a proper 9. Who’d be your pick to link up with Wirtz?
