Scout report

Squad depthAttacking midfielder

O. Velanas is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at PEC Zwolle, rated 41.6 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 225th of 282 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An experienced operator, he has been a fringe squad member this season (20.9% of available minutes). He brings 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.14 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Velanas.

Judged on this season alone, Velanas graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 29th of 30 of the 30 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 13 appearances (0.423 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 21 → 11). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 23rd of 30 of the 30 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 28 Velanas is in his prime years, and a market index of 11.5 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Velanas missed 17 games through injury (ankle) out of roughly 34 this season. The 13 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.

Outlook

With a Rating of 41.6, Velanas carries the 23rd-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie of 30 — though on just 13 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.42 goal contributions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× 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 (~19), then tapers with age. At 28, Velanas sits on 11.5, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Velanas's projected Rating — 41.6 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.
