J. Mateta is a 29-year-old centre-forward at Crystal Palace, rated 58.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 333rd of 476 in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a regular starter this season (77.2% of available minutes). He brings 0.49 goal contributions per 90 (0.49 goals, 0 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mateta.
Judged on this season alone, Mateta graded 52 — an excellent campaign that ranks top 15% of the 68 centre-forwards in the Premier League, on 12 goals and 0 assists in 32 appearances (0.486 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 55 → 52). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 48th of 68 of the 68 centre-forwards in the Premier League. At 29 Mateta is in his prime years, and a market index of 64.6 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Mateta missed 6 games through injury (knee, coach's decision) out of roughly 38 this season. The 32 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.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
12 goals in 32 appearances (0.38 per game) is double figures — and for a lower-table side (15th of 20), a real standout. Weaker sides create and score less, so carrying double-figure output there says more than the raw number alone.
With a Rating of 58.7, Mateta carries the 48th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League of 68, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Crystal Palace finished 15th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.49 goal contributions 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 (~117), then tapers with age. At 29, Mateta sits on 64.6, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mateta's projected Rating — 58.7 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.
