Key strength: Shot-stopping
Shot-stopper
At just 21 years old, German goalkeeper Max Weiß finds himself thrust into the unforgiving spotlight of a Premier League relegation battle. Burnley sit precariously in 19th position, fighting desperately for survival, and behind a defense boasting more experienced heads like Jordan Beyer and Hannes Delcroix, Weiß has made 3 appearances this season – accumulating 270 minutes between the posts. The towering 1.90m shot-stopper arrived with a €4 million valuation and a long-term contract running until 2029, signaling the club's belief in his potential despite his modest 48 rating. While the Clarets' form has been turbulent, Weiß represents a calculated gamble on youth over experience. His profile as a traditional shot-stopper – strong in the air and reliable when tested – offers Burnley a foundation to build upon, even as the pressure mounts. With the seasoned defenders in front of him, Weiß has the platform to prove that raw potential can outshine immediate polish when the stakes couldn't be higher.
