In fact, he averaged 18 more passes per game on average.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There isn&#8217;t much to choose from between the two when it comes to tackles made, with Simons leading slightly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Interestingly, Wirtz was, on average, able to complete double the amount of take-ons than Simons last season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-is-florian-wirtz-vs-xavi-simons-trending-right-now\">Why is Florian Wirtz vs Xavi Simons trending right now?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>These are two players that could well both be playing in the Premier League next season, with Wirtz move to Liverpool already sealed. Simons has been linked with a big money move to Chelsea this summer and it looks likely he could make the switch from RB Leipzig in the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both players play in a similar position, predominantly in the number 10 role but sometimes off the left hand side and it&#8217;s natural to draw comparisons between the two. Both players will also be looking to secure the Premier League title, with Liverpool and Chelsea both expecting to be in the title picture this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wirtz arrives at Liverpool with the weight of expectation on his shoulders with his \u00a3100m+ move making headlines across Europe. Simons is likely to move to for a much lower fee but expectations will still be high at Chelsea, as they look to build on their Club World Cup win. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florian Wirtz vs Xavi Simons 2024\/25 Season Comparison Why is Florian Wirtz vs Xavi Simons trending right now?
