Output in context · Kamatamare Sanuki finished 17th of 20 · a lower-table side
2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 2 clean sheets across 11 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (17th of 20) 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 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.
Watch points
- Game time. Only 26.6% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
- Age curve. At 35, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
Rated 5.8 overall — below regular-starter level. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.97 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.6× and falling).
