We hold a single season for Higuchi, so there's no year-on-year comparison to draw yet — the read above is this campaign only.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 45, top 28% of the 79 full-backs in the J3 League. At 24 Higuchi is in his prime years, and a market index of 34.3 reflects that trajectory.
1.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — light defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 20 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (15th 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.
With a Rating of 45.1, Higuchi carries the 22nd-highest potential of the full-backs in the J3 League (top 28%), and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Matsumoto Yamaga finished 15th of 20) — 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 (1.44 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Approaching peak years; value is still building (price multiplier 2×) with the best seasons likely ahead.
Generated from Field Insider's rating model · AI-written analysis to follow.
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 (~34), then tapers with age. At 24, Higuchi sits on 34.3, at or near its peak. The blue line is Higuchi's projected Rating — 45.1 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.
