In a recent player survey, Joao Palhinha was identified as the most disappointing outfield player of the 2024/25 Bundesliga season.
The survey, conducted by Kicker, involved 216 footballers from all 18 Bundesliga clubs, with 13.4 percent of respondents selecting Palhinha as the most underwhelming player of the season.
The Portugal international joined Bayern Munich last summer for a reported €51 million but faced a challenging debut season. He struggled with injuries and was unable to secure a regular starting position under coach Vincent Kompany, failing to meet expectations.
Julian Brandt of Borussia Dortmund ranked second in the survey with 10.2% of the votes, followed by Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen (6.9%), Deniz Undav of VfB Stuttgart (5.6%), and Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig (4.6%).
Conversely, Florian Wirtz was recognized as the most impressive outfield player, receiving 28.2% of the votes. He narrowly surpassed Bayern's Michael Olise, who garnered 26.4%. Other notable mentions included Serhou Guirassy from Dortmund (4.2%), former Eintracht Frankfurt striker Omar Marmoush (4.2%), Bayern's Harry Kane (3.7%), and Stuttgart’s Nick Woltemade (3.7%).
In the goalkeeper category, Mainz’s Robin Zentner was voted the most impressive, receiving 19.9% of the votes, while Bochum’s Patrick Drewes was deemed the most disappointing goalkeeper with 13.9% of the votes in that category.
