Clean sheets

4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — solid defensive volume, with 1 clean sheet across 9 appearances. Going forward he chipped in 0 goals and 1 assist — a useful bonus from the back.

Strengths

  • Defensive volume. 4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — does the unseen work.

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 39.4% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 34.7, Miyamoto carries the 7th-highest potential of the defensive midfielders in the J1 League of 15 — though on just 9 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. Defensively he reads as solid defensive volume (4.27 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.2× now → 0.9× projected in three years).
