Experienced headGoalkeeper

D. Yoshimitsu is a 33-year-old goalkeeper at Albirex Niigata, rated 12.1 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 195th of 215 on scout potential in the J2 League. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (36.8% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Yoshimitsu.

Judged on this season alone, Yoshimitsu graded 3 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 16th of 18 of the 18 goalkeepers in the J2 League, on 1 clean sheet across 7 appearances.

We hold a single season for Yoshimitsu, 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 12, 11th of 18 of the 18 goalkeepers in the J2 League. At 33 Yoshimitsu is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 0.8 reflects that trajectory.

1 clean sheet in 7 appearances (14% of games). Playing behind an upper-table side (3rd of 20) means a more protected goal, so the read is about command and distribution as much as raw shut-outs.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 36.8% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Age curve. At 33, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 12.1, Yoshimitsu carries the 11th-highest potential of the goalkeepers in the J2 League of 18 — though on just 7 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. A rotation minutes keeper carrying the gloves this season. Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.7× and falling).
