J. de Guzmán is a 38-year-old defensive midfielder at Sparta Rotterdam, rated 3.6 overall by Field Insider's model. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (3.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.24 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Guzmán.

On the season, Guzmán graded 2 for current form (age-blind), on 0 goals, 0 assists and 5.243 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 0 → 2). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 4. At 38 Guzmán is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.4 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Guzmán missed 4 games through injury (unknown, injury) out of roughly 34 this season. The 6 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.

5.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume across 6 appearances.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 5.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 3.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 38, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

Rated 3.6 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.24 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.5× and falling).
