LiverpoolAbout FLORIAN WIRTZ
World Cup 2026 pedigree
Florian Wirtz missed WC2022 due to an ACL injury sustained in early 2022. He returned to lead Bayer Leverkusen to the 2023-24 Bundesliga title (Leverkusen's first ever) and is now Germany's primary creative force.
Role for Germany
Liverpool's #10 after his summer 2025 transfer, Wirtz is the most technically gifted attacking midfielder in the German pool. He combines short, quick passing with progressive carrying — exactly the modern #10 archetype.
World Cup 2026 outlook
Golden Boot outsider (around 34-41/1) but a strong assist candidate. Germany's draw is winnable; Wirtz's value comes from his role as the chance-creator rather than the finisher. Markets like 'most-fouled player' and 'first assist' offer better edge.
