Scout report
J. Soares is a 27-year-old full-back at Montana, rated 22.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 155th of 252 on scout potential in the First League. In his prime years, he has been a rotation option this season (35.1% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 1.69 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Soares.
Judged on this season alone, Soares graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 37th of 43 of the 43 full-backs in the First League, on 3 clean sheets and 1.692 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 10 → 8). Over the 4 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 23, 28th of 43 of the 43 full-backs in the First League. At 27 Soares is in his prime years, and a market index of 2.6 reflects that trajectory.
Below his 2023/24 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Montana finished 16th of 16 · a relegation-threatened side
1.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 3 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a relegation-threatened side (16th of 16) 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 0 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 35.1% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Defensive numbers. Modest 1.69 defensive actions per 90 for the position.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 22.8, Soares carries the 28th-highest potential of the full-backs in the First League of 43, and he is posting that for a relegation-threatened side (Montana finished 16th of 16) — 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 light defensive volume (1.69 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
