Mateus is a 31-year-old attacking midfielder at Nagoya Grampus, rated 25.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 627th of 874 in the J3 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (57.5% of available minutes). He brings 0.38 goal contributions per 90 (0.27 goals, 0.11 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Mateus.
Judged on this season alone, Mateus graded 25 — a strong campaign that ranks top 23% of the 71 attacking midfielders in the J3 League, on 5 goals and 2 assists in 25 appearances (0.381 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 3 → 25). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 26, 55th of 71 of the 71 attacking midfielders in the J3 League. At 31 Mateus is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 8.9 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Mateus missed 6 games through injury (sprained ankle) out of roughly 38 this season. The 25 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.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
5 goals in 25 appearances (0.2 per game), a meaningful share of the load for a lower-table side. Add 2 assists for 7 goal contributions in all.
With a Rating of 25.9, Mateus carries the 55th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J3 League of 71, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nagoya Grampus finished 16th 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 (0.38 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).

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 (~20), then tapers with age. At 31, Mateus sits on 8.9, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Mateus's projected Rating — 25.9 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.
