Outlook

With a Rating of 26.6, Yamanaka carries the 7th-highest potential of the attacking midfielders in the J3 League (top 39%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Thespakusatsu Gunma finished 14th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. In the final third he profiles as a productive contributor (0.37 goal contributions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.

Value & potential by age

Market valueRating

Solid = now · dashed = projected

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 (~2), then tapers with age. At 25, Yamanaka sits on 2.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Yamanaka's projected Rating — 26.6 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.
