J. Pérez is a 23-year-old defensive midfielder at Nashville SC, rated 39.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 184th of 790 in the Major League Soccer.

Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Pérez.
Judged on this season alone, Pérez graded 14 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 53rd of 67 of the 67 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer, on 1 goal, 2 assists and 1.828 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 2 → 14). Across the 5 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 40, top 33% of the 67 defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer. At 23 Pérez is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 20.7 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Pérez missed 6 games through injury (thigh) out of roughly 37 this season. The 22 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.
A career still climbing — Pérez is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 22 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 2 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 39.8, Pérez carries the 22nd-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Major League Soccer of 67 — though on just 22 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.83 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90), with a bit more on the ball than most in the role. Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
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 (~21), then tapers with age. At 23, Pérez sits on 20.7, at or near its peak. The blue line is Pérez's projected Rating — 39.8 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.
