Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Duarte.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 15). Over the 5 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2021/22.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 27, 16th of 31 of the 31 defensive midfielders in the First League. At 27 Duarte is in his prime years, and a market index of 3.1 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2021/22 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 34 appearances. Behind a title-challenging side (2nd 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 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 26.6, Duarte carries the 16th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the First League of 31. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.03 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~3), then tapers with age. At 27, Duarte sits on 3.1, at or near its peak. The blue line is Duarte's projected Rating — 26.6 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.
