Wirtz is a versatile attacking midfielder, although he can also play wide as an inverted winger. He was also sometimes used as a forward or a false nine by Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen. His outstanding technique helps him to quickly find solutions to set up his teammates while simultaneously having an offensive drive himself. He combines this with a good sense of space and the right pass or cross, but also poses a potent threat himself. Wirtz has been noted particularly for his off-the-ball movement and high work rate, covering a lot of ground and playing in many areas of the pitch.
