Scout report
O. Velanas is a 28-year-old attacking midfielder at PEC Zwolle, rated 45.8 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 224th of 284 on scout potential in the Eredivisie. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (41.8% 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 22 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 41st of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie, on 2 goals and 1 assist in 13 appearances (0.423 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 21 → 22). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 46, 44th of 56 of the 56 attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie. At 28 Velanas is in his prime years, and a market index of 12.7 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.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · PEC Zwolle finished 15th of 18 · a lower-table side
2 goals in 13 appearances (0.15 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb. Add 1 assist for 3 goal contributions in all.
Strengths
- Final-third output. 0.42 goal contributions per 90 (0.28 goals, 0.14 assists) — productive for the role.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 41.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 45.8, Velanas carries the 44th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the Eredivisie of 56 — 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).
