Missed 13 of PEC Zwolle's ~34 games this season through 11 injury absences and 2 suspensions (muscle, inactive). He still appeared 21 times — a solid return given how little of the season he was available. His rating is judged mainly on the games he was fit to play.

Scout report

Experienced headDefensive midfielder

Jamiro Monteiro is a 32-year-old defensive midfielder at PEC Zwolle, rated 31.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 261st of 299 in the Eredivisie. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (67.5% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.95 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Monteiro.

Judged on this season alone, Monteiro graded 47 — a solid campaign that ranks top 39% of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 2 goals, 3 assists and 3.95 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 36 → 47). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 31, 40th of 42 of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 32 Monteiro is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 16 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Monteiro missed 11 games through injury and 2 suspensions (muscle, inactive) out of roughly 34 this season. The 21 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.

Clean sheets

3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 21 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

Availability. On the pitch for 67.5% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.35 goal involvements per 90, useful for a defensive midfielder.
Defensive volume. 3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

Age curve. At 32, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 31.2, Monteiro carries the 40th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie of 42, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (PEC Zwolle finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (3.95 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.8× and falling).

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~40), then tapers with age. At 32, Monteiro sits on 16, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Monteiro's projected Rating — 31.2 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.
