Key strength: Ball retention
Deep-lying playmaker
At just 24 years old, Angelo Stiller has emerged as the metronome at the heart of VfB Stuttgart's impressive 4th-place campaign. The German international, now commanding a €45 million market value, has been virtually ever-present—racking up 33 appearances and 2,707 minutes as the engine room of this ambitious Stuttgart side. Operating as a deep-lying playmaker, Stiller's game is defined by exceptional ball retention and progressive distribution, evidenced by his impressive 7 assists despite sitting in a defensive midfield role. With only 1 goal to his name, he's not the flashiest, but his mastery of tempo control has become invaluable as Stuttgart navigate a patchy run (?LWWD) while pushing for Champions League qualification. Stiller's reliability—boasting just 2 yellow cards all season—allows Stuttgart's star-studded forward line featuring Ermedin Demirovic, Deniz Undav, and Jamie Leweling to thrive. As Stuttgart aim to cement their place in the European conversation, Stiller's ability to dictate play from deep continues to make him one of the Bundesliga's most complete holding midfielders.
