World Cup Now: Who was the Man of the Match in Switzerland vs. Cameroon?

Struggling for production Widmer has scored once in 13 appearances (11 starts) before the Winter break.

Impact Widmer was a premier option throughout the 2021/22 campaign, with four goals and five assists from wing-back. The 2022/23 season has been far less kind for Widmer, who has just the single goal contribution. He's also seen his crosses decrease, though Widmer remains on a similar pace for chances created. Widmer is a prime bounce-back candidate during the second half, though he likely won't match the highs he showed in 2021/22.

NOVEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Scores in loss Widmer scored one goal to go with three shots (two on goal), two crosses (one accurate), and two chances created in Saturday's 6-2 loss versus Bayern Munich.

Impact Widmer scored his first goal after making his way back into the starting XI following a knock. The winger has been called into action all over the Mainz lineup, with starts in central midfield and defense. Widmer ended with nine goal contributions in his first campaign with Mainz, giving him plenty of upside if he remains solidly on the right side of the midfield.

Set for return against Koln Widmer (hip) is an option for Friday's clash with Koln, according to manager Bo Svensson.

Impact Widmer is an option Friday after returning from a hip injury. It's likely the midfielder won't be in the starting XI, likely inviting Danny Da Costa back into the starting role. Widmer is a nailed-on starter when fully fit, though he has failed to get on the scoresheet in eight starts.

Impact Widmer made a rare start at center-back during Friday's draw. Fantasy managers will certainly hope this isn't a permanent switch as the right winger has far less value in this more defensive role. Widmer is one to monitor on the other side of the international break, though more likely than not he should be back on the right side of midfield once more.

The right wing-back was brilliant throughout the season, ending with nine goal contributions and establishing himself as one of the main creative threats in the Mainz team.

Fires in four crosses Widmer had one shot (off target), four crosses, one block, one interception, one tackle, one foul and created one chance in the 1-1 tie with SC Freiburg on Saturday.

Impact Widmer is a consistent crosser, but to try and secure victory, he was above average against SC Freiburg. Even so, he is not always successful, with only three assists this season. Hopefully he can add to that total in the next match against Leverkusen.

FEBRUARY 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Widmer was disappointing to say the least in the draw Saturday. The midfielder has not generated much in terms of offense so far this season, however, he has been averaging just above 2.0 tackles per match. He has also been producing interceptions just as frequently. Although, until he can produce more of an all-around performance consistently, it is hard to warrant his play.
