Wieffer said that he prefers to play as a number six, but is also able to play box-to-box. He has been praised for his mentality, interceptions, passing and energy and called "the missing link between Feyenoord's offence and defence." In the 2023–24 Eredivisie, Wieffer ranked highly for blocks, interceptions, ball recoveries and tackles. He was compared to Moisés Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister after his transfer to Brighton & Hove Albion. Since April of Brighton's 2024–25 Premier League campaign, Wieffer has been most frequently deployed as a right-back by head coach Fabian Hürzeler, a position he quickly grew accustomed to as he ranks in the 95th percentile of right-backs for tackles won and clearances during the 2025–26 Premier League.
