Kevin Wimmer

Actual Rating: 79

The Austrian centre back performed admirably in Jan Vertonghen’s absence last season. Some Spurs fans even believed he deserved to take the Belgian’s place in the starting XI.

That was last season. This season, Wimmer has fallen behind Cameron Carter-Vickers in the defending pecking order. Pochettino has dispelled notions of anything sinister about his absence. Instead, he claims just to prefer other options.

I’m not inclined to believe Pochettino on this matter. There simply has to be more to the story. Wimmer looked like a budding star last season, and now he can’t find the pitch at White Hart Lane with a map.

That makes giving him an accurate FIFA rating almost impossible. 79 is a reasonable mark based on the way he played last season, but I think he has to be significantly downgraded due to whatever is going on with his game at the current point in time.

My Rating: 75
