Scout report

Experienced headCentral defender

José Matos is a 31-year-old central defender at AD Ceuta FC, rated 24.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 137th of 194 on scout potential in the Segunda División. A seasoned veteran, he has been a fringe squad member this season (34.2% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.39 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Matos.

Judged on this season alone, Matos graded 2 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 47th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Segunda División, on 0 clean sheets and 1.393 defensive actions per 90.

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 37 → 2). Over the 7 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 25, 29th of 47 of the 47 centre-backs in the Segunda División. At 31 Matos is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 4.7 reflects that trajectory.

Clean sheets

1.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume across 10 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (21st of 22) 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.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 34.2% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 31, 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 24.7, Matos carries the 29th-highest potential of the centre-backs in the Segunda División of 47 — though on just 10 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as light defensive volume (1.39 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
