Caps & goals this season.
R. Thomas is a 31-year-old defensive midfielder at PEC Zwolle, rated 34.7 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 256th of 299 in the Eredivisie. A seasoned veteran, he has been a regular starter this season (79.9% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 5.17 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Thomas.
Judged on this season alone, Thomas graded 45 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 42 of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 1 goal, 1 assist and 5.174 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a clear step up on last season (Season 19 → 45). Across the 6 seasons we hold, it's his best return yet.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 35, 39th of 42 of the 42 defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 31 Thomas is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 20 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Thomas missed 4 games through injury (inactive, yellow cards) out of roughly 34 this season. The 27 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 — Thomas is at his peak right now, and the curve hasn't flattened.
5.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — high defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 27 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th of 18) 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. Going forward he chipped in 1 goal and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
With a Rating of 34.7, Thomas carries the 39th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the Eredivisie of 42, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (PEC Zwolle finished 15th of 18) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as high defensive volume (5.17 tackles, blocks & interceptions 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 (~44), then tapers with age. At 31, Thomas sits on 20, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Thomas's projected Rating — 34.7 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.
