An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (87.6% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.69 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Montes.
Judged on this season alone, Montes graded 26 — a solid campaign that ranks top 32% of the 48 centre-backs in the Premier League, on 6 clean sheets and 2.69 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 16 → 26). Across the 4 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 25th of 48 of the 48 centre-backs in the Premier League. At 29 Montes is in his prime years, and a market index of 4.1 reflects that trajectory.
A career still climbing — Montes is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 6 clean sheets across 26 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (3rd of 16) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 4 goals and 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 24.9, Montes carries the 25th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Premier League of 48. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~8), then tapers with age. At 29, Montes sits on 4.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Montes's projected Rating — 24.9 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
