Scout report
A. Ienaga is a 40-year-old attacking midfielder at Kawasaki Frontale, enjoying a standout season — 1 goals and 1 assists in 29 appearances, a Season grade of 8, top 86% of J1 League attacking midfielders. On long-term scout potential he's rated 7.7, ranking 371st of 377 in the J1 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option (36.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Ienaga.
Judged on this season alone, Ienaga graded 8 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 44th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League, on 1 goal and 1 assist in 29 appearances (0.145 involvements per 90).
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 35 → 8). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2022/23.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 8, 50th of 51 of the 51 attacking midfielders in the J1 League. At 40 Ienaga is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.9 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2022/23 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
